From Powder to Power: Tailored Pre-Milling Strategy that Optimizes Microstructure for Efficient Hydrogen Evolution

The hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) plays a critical role in enabling large-scale electrolytic hydrogen production and advancing future technologies and fuel production. Among non-precious metals, NiMo-based catalysts are particularly attractive due to their capability to promote both water dissociation and hydrogen adsorption in alkaline media. However, conventional NiMo catalysts often suffer from incomplete alloying, particle aggregation, weak metal–support interactions, and surface oxidation, which significantly limit active site utilization, electronic conductivity, and long-term stability. Herein, we report a scalable, solid-state, two-step ball milling strategy for constructing an efficient NiMo/C catalyst for the HER. Pre-milling the metal precursors prior to carbon incorporation promotes efficient solid-state activation, leading to the formation of uniformly alloyed, ultrafine, and defect-rich Ni–Mo nanoparticles with robust metal–carbon interfacial anchoring. Benefiting from this integrated structural design, the optimized NiMo/C catalyst exhibits low overpotentials and Tafel slopes, reduced charge-transfer resistance, and excellent durability under alkaline conditions. Comprehensive structural and surface analysis reveal that the enhanced HER performance can be attributed to the synergistic interplay of homogeneous Ni–Mo alloying, uniform nanoparticle dispersion on a defect-rich carbon scaffold, enhanced accessibility of catalytically active sites, and optimized electronic coupling that stabilizes the catalyst surface. This work highlights the two-step solid-state ball milling strategy as a simple, robust, and scalable route for the preparation of effective and durable non-precious metal HER electrocatalysts, offering practical insights toward large-scale and inexpensive hydrogen production.

Atomic-Scale Interface for Pt Nanoparticles on SrTiO 3 (001)

The interfacial structure formed by Pt nanoparticles grown epitaxially on a SrTiO 3 (001) surface by pulsed laser deposition was studied by X-ray standing-wave (XSW) excited core-level photoelectron emission. The XSW-generated 3D atomic map of the Pt and interfacial oxygens for the oxidized Pt/SrTiO 3 interface differs significantly from that of the as-deposited interface. After oxidation, the Pt atoms shifted upward and their atomic occupation at fcc-like sites evolved as the oxidation temperature increased. Interfacial oxygen atoms were differentiated from bulk O atoms by the chemical shift in the binding energy of their 1s electrons. After oxidation, the interfacial oxygen atoms rearranged to form a TiO 2 bilayer at the interface. Furthermore, these results provide a more complete description of the strong metal–support interaction process at the interface.

Low-temperature dechlorination of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) for production of H 2 and carbon materials using liquid metal catalysts

Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is ubiquitous in everyday life; however, it is not recycled because it degrades uncontrollably into toxic products above 250°C. Therefore, it is of interest to controllably dechlorinate PVC at mild temperatures to generate narrowly distributed carbon materials. We present a catalytic route to dechlorinate PVC (~90% reduction of Cl content) at mild temperature (200°C) to produce gas H 2 (with negligible coproduction of corrosive gas HCl) and carbon materials using Ga as a liquid metal (LM) catalyst. A LM was used to promote intimate contact between PVC and the catalytic sites. During dechlorination of PVC, Cl is sequestrated in the carbonaceous solid product. Later, chlorine is easily removed with an acetone wash at room temperature. The Ga LM catalyst is reusable, outperforms a traditional supported metal catalyst, and successfully converts (untreated) discarded PVC pipe.

On the use of NMR distance measurements for assessing surface site homogeneity

The past few decades have seen tremendous growth in the area of single-site heterogeneous catalysis, which aims to combine the best aspects of homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis, namely molecular-level site control and ease of separation/recycling. Despite this, we still do not have a means of assessing site homogeneity and whether the produced catalyst is indeed a “single-site”. Recent developments have enabled the use of NMR-based distance measurements to determine the conformations and configurations of surface sites, leading to the question whether such measurements can be used to distinguish materials containing either single or multiple surface sites with otherwise indistinguishable NMR properties. Here, we describe a Monte Carlo-based multi-structure search algorithm and its application to the determination of multi-site structures from supported metal complexes. The sensitivity of REDOR data to the existence of multiple sites is assessed using synthetic data and prior literature examples are revisited to determine whether the single-site approximation was indeed appropriate. We lastly apply this new methodology to differentiate the configurations of zirconocene complexes grafted onto alumina supports that were thermally treated at different temperatures.

Elucidating the Roles of Amorphous Alumina Overcoat in Palladium-Catalyzed Selective Hydrogenation

Amorphous alumina overcoats generated by atomic layer deposition (ALD) have been shown to improve the selectivity and durability of supported metal catalysts in many reactions. Several mechanisms have been proposed to explain the enhanced catalytic performance, but the accessibilities of reactants through the amorphous overcoats remain elusive, which is crucial for understanding reaction mechanisms. Here, we show that an AlO x ALD overcoat is able to improve the alkene product selectivity of a supported Pd catalyst in acetylene (C 2 H 2 ) hydrogenation. We further demonstrate that the AlO x ALD overcoat blocks the access of C 2 H 2 (kinetic diameter of 0.33 nm), O 2 (0.35 nm), and CO (0.38 nm) but allows H 2 (0.29 nm) to access Pd surfaces. A H–D exchange experiment suggests that H 2 might dissociate heterolytically at the Pd–AlO x interface. These findings are in favor of a hydrogen spillover mechanism.

Enhancing CO Oxidation Activity via Tuning a Charge Transfer Between Gold Nanoparticles and Supports

Charge transfer from the supports to nanoparticles at the interface is one of the key factors to determine the catalytic performances of supported nanoparticles. In this work, we revealed that the charge transfer from semiconductor support to Au nanoparticle catalysts enhanced their activity toward CO oxidation. In this work, a novel Au/SiO 2 /Si composite system with precisely controllable SiO 2 layer thickness was fabricated to tune the magnitude of interfacial charge transfer. With the support of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and numerical simulations, it was demonstrated that the Schottoky barrier formed across the Au/SiO 2 /Si heterojunction led to negative charge accumulation at the surface of Au nanoparticles, which may be transferred to the antibonding orbitral of adsorbed O 2 molecules to the O-O bonds. This discovery highlights a new perspective in explaining the role of strong metal-support interactions for catalytic reactions and provides a fresh path for designing the next generation of nanocatalysts.

Nanoscale Spatial Distribution of Supported Nanoparticles Controls Activity and Stability in Powder Catalysts for CO Oxidation and Photocatalytic H 2 Evolution

Here we discuss, supported metal nanoparticles are essential components of high-performing catalysts, and their structures are intensely researched. In comparison, nanoparticle spatial distribution in powder catalysts is conventionally not quantified, and the influence of this collective property on catalyst performance remains poorly investigated. Here, we demonstrate a general colloidal self-assembly method to control uniformity of nanoparticle spatial distribution on common industrial powder supports. We quantify distributions on the nanoscale using image statistics and show that the type of nanospatial distribution determines not only the stability, but also the activity of heterogeneous catalysts. Widely investigated systems (Au–TiO 2 for CO oxidation thermocatalysis and Pd–TiO 2 for H 2 evolution photocatalysis) were used to showcase the universal importance of nanoparticle spatial organization. Spatially and temporally resolved microkinetic modeling revealed that nonuniformly distributed Au nanoparticles suffer from local depletion of surface oxygen, and therefore lower CO oxidation activity, as compared to uniformly distributed nanoparticles. Nanoparticle spatial distribution also determines the stability of Pd–TiO 2 photocatalysts, because nonuniformly distributed nanoparticles sinter while uniformly distributed nanoparticles do not. This work introduces new tools to evaluate and understand catalyst collective (ensemble) properties in powder catalysts, which thereby pave the way to more active and stable heterogeneous catalysts.

Plasmon assisted synthesis of TiN-supported single-atom nickel catalysts

We report the deposition of single atom nickel catalyst on refractory plasmonic titanium nitride (TiN) nanomaterials supports using the wet synthesis method under visible light irradiation. TiN nanoparticles efficiently absorb visible light to generate photoexcited electrons and holes. Photoexcited electrons reduce nickel precursor to deposit Ni atoms on TiN nanoparticles’ surface. The generated hot holes are scavenged by the methanol. We studied the Ni deposition on TiN nanoparticles by varying light intensity, light exposure time, and metal precursor concentration. These studies confirmed the photodeposition method is driven by hot electrons and helped us to find optimum synthesis conditions for single atoms deposition. We characterized the nanocatalysts using high-angle annular dark-field scanning transmission electron microscopy (HAADF-STEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). We used density functional theory (DFT) calculations to predict favorable deposition sites and aggregation energy of Ni atoms on TiN. Surface defect sites of TiN are most favorable for single nickel atoms depositions. Interestingly, the oxygen sites on native surface oxide layer of TiN also exhibit strong binding with the single Ni atoms. Plasmon enhanced synthesis method can facilitate photodeposition of single atom catalysts on a wide class of metallic supports with plasmonic properties.

Investigation of NOx Removal from Small Engine Exhaust

Contribution of emissions from small engines to the air pollution is significant. Due to differences in operating conditions and economics, the pollution control systems designed for automobiles will be neither suitable nor economically feasible for use on small engines. The objective of this project was to find a catalyst for the removal of NOx from the exhaust of small engines which use a rich air to fuel ratio. The desired catalyst should be inexpensive so that the cost of the pollution control unit will be only a small fraction of the total equipment cost. The high cost of noble metals makes them too expensive for use as NOx catalyst for small engines. Catalytic reduction of Nitrogen Oxide (NO) can also be accomplished by base-metal oxide catalysts. The main disadvantage of base-metal catalysts is their deactivation by poisons and high temperatures. Requirements for the length of the life of the small engine exhaust catalysts are much less than those for automobile exhaust catalysts. Since there is no oxygen in the exhaust gases, reduction selectivity is not a problem. Also, the reducing exhaust gases might help prevent the harmful interactions of the catalyst with the support. For these reasons only the supported metal oxide catalysts were investigated in this project.

Design Analysis and Thermo-Mechanical Fatigue of a Polyimide Composite for Combustion Chamber Support

Polyimide composites are being evaluated for use in lightweight support structures designed to preserve the ideal flow geometry within thin shell combustion chambers of future space launch propulsion systems. Principles of lightweight design and innovative manufacturing techniques have yielded a sandwich structure with an outer face sheet of carbon fiber polyimide matrix composite. While the continuous carbon fiber enables laminated skin of high specific stiffness; the polyimide matrix materials ensure that the rigidity and durability is maintained at operation temperatures of 316 C. Significant weight savings over all metal support structures are expected. The protypical structure is the result of ongoing collaboration, between Boeing and NASA-GRC seeking to introduce polyimide composites to the harsh environmental and loads familiar to space launch propulsion systems. Design trade analyses were carried out using relevant closed form solutions, approximations for sandwich beams/panels and finite element analysis. Analyses confirm the significant thermal stresses exist when combining materials whose coefficients of thermal expansion (CTEs) differ by a factor of about 10 for materials such as a polymer composite and metallic structures. The ramifications on design and manufacturing alternatives are reviewed and discussed. Due to stringent durability and safety requirements, serious consideration is being given to the synergistic effects of temperature and mechanical loads. The candidate structure operates at 316 C, about 80% of the glass transition temperature T(sub g). Earlier thermomechanical fatigue (TMF) investigations of chopped fiber polyimide composites made this near to T(sub g), showed that cyclic temperature and stress promoted excessive creep damage and strain accumulation. Here it is important to verify that such response is limited in continuous fiber laminates.

Design of a Microgravity Hybrid Inflatable Airlock

Spacewalks, or extra-vehicular activities (EVAs), are a critical component of human space exploration for science activities and habitat construction and maintenance. For NASA's proposed lunar Gateway system, an airlock module is required for vehicle maintenance, repair, and exploration. Traditional airlock structures are fully metallic, with two chambers, known as an equipment lock and a crew lock. The larger volume, called the equipment lock, serves as the storage, logistics and electronics area, while the smaller volume, called the crew lock, serves as the volume to transition from the vacuum of space to the pressurized cabin. A traditional metallic structure design offers mass efficiency for these elements, but cannot offer volume efficiency. The potential to use an inflatable fabric pressure shell supplemented by a metallic support structure allows for efficiency in both mass and volume. Inflatable structures are being used for human habitable space modules, starting with the Bigelow Expandable Activities Module on the International Space Station. They are high-strength fabric-based structures that are compactly stowed for launch and then, once in space, they are expanded and rigidized with internal pressure. They provide significant launch volume savings over metallic structures. For Gateway, a hybrid airlock design is proposed with both metallic and inflatable structural elements, taking advantage of each material's capabilities. A metallic equipment lock serves as both a docking node and provides pressurized volume for pre-EVA activities including pre-breathe and suit donning/doffing. A rigid equipment lock offers stowage space during launch for integrated hardware and suits. Adding an integrated inflatable crew lock provides the volume required for EVAs with minimal use of launch volume. Using dual inflatable crew locks provides redundancy and the capability to move large pieces of equipment into and out of the vehicle for repair and maintenance. The inflatable crew lock is deflated and packaged in the launch shroud and expanded after installation on the Gateway. This packing capability allows additional volume to be added to the equipment lock and fully utilize the capability of the launch vehicle. This report outlines the work completed to design, analyze, and test the systems of a microgravity airlock with inflatable crew locks. In detail, it includes launch vehicles, structural sizing of the metallic equipment lock, the fabric layers of the inflatable crew lock, the internal structure of the crew lock, the space suit interface elements, the crew restraint system, the hatches and pass-throughs, the material and thermal elements, and the crew operations for the usage of the system. This paper is meant to offer a reference design for a hybrid microgravity airlock design for deep space human exploration.

Toward alcohol synthesis from CO hydrogenation on Cu(111)-supported MoS 2 – predictions from DFT+KMC

In the quest for cheap and efficient catalysts for alcohol synthesis from syngas, a material of interest is single-layer MoS2 owing to its low cost, abundancy, and flexible structure. Because of the inertness of its basal plane, however, it is essential to find ways that make it catalytically active. Herein, by means of density functional theory based calculations of reaction pathways and activation energy barriers and accompanying kinetic Monte Carlo simulations, we show that while S vacancy row structures activate the MoS 2 basal plane, further enhancement of chemical activity and selectivity can be achieved by interfacing the MoS 2 layer with a metallic support. When defect-laden MoS2 is grown on Cu(111), there is not only an increase in the active region (surface area of active sites) but also charge transfer from Cu to MoS 2 , resulting in a shift of the Fermi level such that the frontier states (d orbitals of the exposed Mo atoms) appear close to it, making the MoS 2 /Cu(111) system ready for catalytic activity. Finally, our calculated thermodynamics of reaction pathways lead to the conclusion that the Cu(111) substrate promotes both methanol and ethanol as the products, while kinetic Monte Carlo simulations suggest a high selectivity toward the formation of ethanol.

Corrosion-Resistant Non-Carbon Electrocatalyst Supports for PEFCS

Insufficient durability of commercial catalysts is a persistent issue for PEFC applications.1 Herein, Pt on Nb-doped-TiO 2 is reported as a highly durable electrocatalyst on which the direct 4-electron reduction of oxygen to water is more facile compared to Pt/C. All performance metrics are reported comparing Pt/Nb-TiO2 with a 15% Pt loading, against a commercial Pt/C catalyst (46.5% Pt loading, Tanaka, K. K.). Nb-doped-TiO 2 with high surface area and high electronic conductivity was synthesized using the supercritical fluid method. Initially, the durability of the catalyst was characterized using accelerated stability tests (ASTs) involving 10,000 high potential cycles (DOE/FCCJ protocol) and the Pt/Nb-TiO 2 was found to retain 78% of its initial electrochemically active surface area (ECSA) compared to the 57.6 % retained by Pt/C. These observations were in excellent agreement with previous reports that the Pt particle size of Pt/C grew from 2nm to 8nm during the AST protocol along with severe corrosion and amorphization of the carbon surface.2, 3 TEM and XPS studies of the Pt-Nb-doped-TiO 2 catalyst showed that the Pt particle size grew from 3nm to 6nm and the Nb(IV) and Ti(III) in the support were oxidized to Nb(V) and Ti(IV) after the durability test. Thus, the improvement in Pt/Nb-TiO 2 ECSA retention was attributed to the lower extent of particle growth and lack of oxidative support loss upon oxidation as compared to Pt/C. The oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) performance was characterized by linear polarization using a rotating disk electrode (RDE). The electrochemical surface areas of Pt/Nb-TiO 2 and Pt/C were found to be 48m2·g -1 and 83m2·g -1 respectively, and the mass activity for the ORR at 0.9V vs. RHE were found to be 150 mA·mg-1Pt and 124 mA·mg-1Pt respectively. The improved mass activity on Pt/Nb-TiO 2 was attributed to strong metal support interaction (SMSI) between the Nb-TiO 2 support and the Pt catalyst based on the 625 meV decrease in the binding energy of the Pt4f x-ray photo-electron spectroscopy (XPS) peaks of Pt/Nb-TiO 2 compared to Pt/C. To quantify the impact of the SMSI, a kinetic model was applied to calculate the elementary reaction rate constants for the various steps of the ORR on both catalysts. The reaction rate constant (k1) for the direct 4-electron transfer pathway to produce H 2 O was significantly larger in Pt/Nb-TiO 2 as compared to Pt/C. Thus, the reduction in the electron binding energy as observed in the XPS was found to aid the facile filling of the higher energy 2p orbitals of O 2 thereby leading to improved 4-electron transfer kinetics and improved overall activity.

Dynamic Features of Cu-Ceria Interface under CO 2 Hydrogenation to Methanol

It is generally accepted that metal–support interaction is very important for the hydrogenation of CO 2 to methanol, but little has been revealed about the feature of interfacial active sites under real reaction conditions since there are only limited techniques that can be applied under high-pressure conditions. Here, in this work, by combining multiple in situ and operando techniques on a model Cu/ceria catalyst, we have tracked Cu and ceria sites for methanol formation. Under the reaction condition, it is found that upon reaching the reaction temperature, oxidized Cu species in the as-synthesized catalyst immediately change into metallic Cu species. Following this, it is the gradual formation of methanol, the changing rate of which coincides with the formation of a unique Ce 3+ species. The combined experimental results and density functional theory (DFT) calculations have determined that the formed Ce 3+ sites driven by the reaction conditions are bound to hydrides, adsorbed carbonate species, and interfacial active Cu sites. The Cu-ceria interaction in this complex moiety is weak and can be easily disturbed with reaction environment variations, leading to dynamic changes at the interface upon the hydrogenation of active carbonate intermediates, which are precursors for the formation of methanol. The formation of this unique Cu–Ce 3+ interface and its dynamicity lead to an increase of methanol selectivity from less than 20% to 60%. These results suggest that reactant-derived species (H – and carbonate in this work) can be essential components of the active center with the functions of manipulating the metal−oxide interaction and directing reaction pathways.

Observations of Ethylene-for-CO Ligand Exchanges on a Zeolite-Supported Single-Site Rh Catalyst by X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy

Quick-scanning X-ray absorption fine structure (QXAFS) measurements were used to characterize the exchanges of ethylene and CO ligands in a zeolite HY-supported single-site Rh complex at a sampling rate of 1.0 Hz. The two ligands were reversibly exchanged on the rhodium, with quantitative results determined for the C 2 H 4 -for-CO exchange that are consistent with a first-order process. The apparent rate constant for the exchange decreased with increasing temperature. Fourier-transform infrared spectra characterizing the C 2 H 4 sorbed in the zeolite showed that the amount decreased with increasing temperature, consistent with the decrease in the exchange rate with increasing temperature. Here the results, illustrating the dynamics of ligand exchanges on a single-site supported metal catalyst, demonstrate the broad emerging applicability of the QXAFS technique for characterizing the dynamics of reactive intermediates on catalysts.
