Spin‐Polarized Interfaces Redirect CO 2 Reduction From CO to Formate

Achieving high product selectivity in electrocatalytic carbon dioxide reduction (CO 2 RR) remains a critical challenge due to competition between multiple proton-coupled electron-transfer pathways on catalyst surfaces. Meanwhile, chirality-induced spin selectivity (CISS), which enables spin-polarized electron transport through chiral interfaces, has recently emerged as a promising strategy to modulate interfacial electrochemical reactions. Although the CISS effect has been shown to enhance selectivity and efficiency in the spin-sensitive oxygen evolution reaction (OER), its role in regulating CO 2 RR pathways and in stabilizing intermediates remains largely unexplored. Here, chiral molecules (R- and S-1,1′-bi-2-naphthyl-2,2′-diyl hydrogen phosphate, BNP) were integrated with SnO 2 to construct chiral-modified catalysts (R-BNP/SnO 2 and S-BNP/SnO 2 ). Compared with bare SnO 2 and racemic BNP-modified SnO 2 (Rac-BNP/SnO 2 ), the chiral catalysts exhibited a pronounced shift in product selectivity from CO toward formate production. Importantly, in-situ attenuated total reflectance surface-enhanced infrared absorption spectroscopy (ATR-SEIRAS) reveals that the chiral interface selectively stabilizes the O-bound *OCHO intermediate associated with the formate pathway and modulates interfacial water structure and hydrogen-bonding dynamics. These findings demonstrate that spin-polarized interfacial electron transfer can regulate CO 2 RR pathway selectivity by modulating the stabilization of key intermediates. More broadly, this work establishes chiral spin-selective interfaces as a new strategy for regulating competitive electrocatalytic reaction pathways.

Remotely Bonded Bridging Dioxygen Ligands Enhance Hydrogen Transfer in a Silica-Supported Tetrairidium Cluster Catalyst

A longstanding challenge in catalysis by noble metals has been to understand the origin of enhancements of rates of hydrogen transfer that result from bonding of oxygen near metal sites. We investigated structurally well-defined catalysts consisting of supported tetrairidium carbonyl clusters with single-atom (apical iridium) catalytic sites for ethylene hydrogenation. Reaction of the clusters with ethylene and H 2 followed by O 2 led to the onset of catalytic activity as a terminal CO ligand at each apical Ir atom was removed and bridging dioxygen ligands replaced CO ligands at neighboring (basal-plane) sites. The presence of the dioxygen ligands caused a 6-fold increase in the catalytic reaction rate, which is explained by the electron-withdrawing capability induced by the bridging dioxygen ligands, consistent with the inference that reductive elimination is rate determining. Electronic structure calculations demonstrate an additional role of the dioxygen ligands, changing the mechanism of hydrogen transfer from that involving equatorial hydride ligands to that involving bridging hydride ligands. This mechanism is made evident by an inverse kinetic isotope effect observed in ethylene hydrogenation reactions with H 2 and, alternatively, with D 2 on the cluster incorporating the dioxygen ligands, and is a consequence of quasi-equilibrated hydrogen transfer in this catalyst. The same mechanism accounts for rate enhancements induced by the bridging dioxygen ligands for the catalytic reaction of H 2 with D 2 to give HD. Here, we posit that the mechanism involving bridging hydride ligands facilitated by oxygen ligands remote from the catalytic site may have some generality in catalysis by oxide-supported noble metals.

Thermochemical reduction modeling in a high-temperature moving-bed reactor for energy storage: 1D model

The design of robust and efficient high-temperature thermochemical reactors and determination of operating conditions are critical steps toward enabling high-efficiency long-duration solar energy storage. This work presents a computational model for the thermal reduction of a metal oxide material (Mg-Mn-O) up to 1450 °C and the coupled complex transport phenomena in a novel tubular thermal reactor design that features the capability for a high extent-of-reduction (high energy storage density) and inherent heat recuperation. A one-dimensional model coupling counter-current gas–solid flow, two-phase heat transfer, thermochemical redox reactions, and species transport in a moving-bed reactor is developed. Simplified versions of the model are validated with published results in the literature for packed beds with both inert and reactive particles; the fully coupled model is also validated with experimental measurements of a moving-bed reactor in terms of local temperatures and oxygen release at the exit. Detailed comparisons on the effects of different boundary conditions in the reaction zone (prescribed wall temperature vs. heat flux conditions) and formulations based on a simple uniform flow assumption vs. plug flow using Ergun equation for gas flow are investigated. The results are compared with experimental measurements, and for all cases, the energy flow components in the reactor system and the thermal to chemical conversion efficiency and overall system efficiency are computed. Finally, the predicted high thermal-to-chemical efficiency ~95% and system efficiency ~30% agree with experimental measurements.

Atomic Dynamics of Multi‐Interfacial Migration and Transformations

Redox-induced interconversions of metal oxidation states typically result in multiple phase boundaries that separate chemically and structurally distinct oxides and suboxides. Directly probing such multi-interfacial reactions is challenging because of the difficulty in simultaneously resolving the multiple reaction fronts at the atomic scale. Using the example of CuO reduction in H 2 gas, a reaction pathway of CuO → monoclinic m-Cu 4 O 3 → Cu 2 O is demonstrated and identifies interfacial reaction fronts at the atomic scale, where the Cu 2 O/m-Cu 4 O 3 interface shows a diffuse-type interfacial transformation; while the lateral flow of interfacial ledges appears to control the m-Cu 4 O 3 /CuO transformation. Together with atomistic modeling, it is shown that such a multi-interface transformation results from the surface-reaction-induced formation of oxygen vacancies that diffuse into deeper atomic layers, thereby resulting in the formation of the lower oxides of Cu 2 O and m-Cu 4 O 3 , and activate the interfacial transformations. In conclusion, these results demonstrate the lively dynamics at the reaction fronts of the multiple interfaces and have substantial implications for controlling the microstructure and interphase boundaries by coupling the interplay between the surface reaction dynamics and the resulting mass transport and phase evolution in the subsurface and bulk.

Mechanistic Insights into Co and Fe Quaterpyridine-Based CO 2 Reduction Catalysts: Metal–Ligand Orbital Interaction as the Key Driving Force for Distinct Pathways

Both [Co II (qpy)(H 2 O) 2 ] 2+ and [Fe II (qpy)(H 2 O) 2 ] 2+ (with qpy = 2,2':6',2'':6'',2'''-quaterpyridine) are efficient homogeneous electrocatalysts and photoelectrocatalysts for the reduction of CO 2 to CO. The Co catalyst is more efficient in the electrochemical reduction, while the Fe catalyst is an excellent photoelectrocatalyst. This work uses density functional theory to shed light on the contrasting catalytic pathways. While both catalysts experience primarily ligand-based reductions, the second reduction in the Co catalyst is delocalized onto the metal via a metal-ligand bonding interaction, causing a spin transition and a distorted ligand framework. This orbital interaction explains the experimentally observed mild reduction potential and slow kinetics of the second reduction. The decreased hardness and doubly occupied d z 2 -orbital facilitate a σ-bond with the CO 2 -π* in an η 1 - κC binding mode. CO 2 binding is only possible after two reductions resulting in an EEC mechanism (E = electron transfer, C = chemical reaction), and the second protonation is rate-limiting. In contrast, the Fe catalyst maintains a Lewis acidic metal center throughout the reduction process because the metal orbitals do not strongly mix with the qpy-π* orbitals. Further, this allows binding of the activated CO 2 in an η 2 -binding mode. This interaction stabilizes the activated CO 2 via a π-type interaction of a Fe-t 2g orbital and the CO 2 -π* and a dative bond of the oxygen lone pair. This facilitates CO 2 binding to a singly reduced catalyst resulting in an ECE mechanism. The barrier for CO 2 addition and the second protonation are higher than those for the Co catalyst and rate-limiting.

All-solid-state Z-scheme BiVO 4 –Bi 6 O 6 (OH) 3 (NO 3 ) 3 heterostructure with prolonging electron-hole lifetime for enhanced photocatalytic hydrogen and oxygen evolution

As a visible-light response photocatalyst, BiVO 4 is widely used in photocatalytic oxygen evolution. In this study, a novel BiVO 4 –Bi 6 O 6 (OH) 3 (NO 3 ) 3 (BBN) heterostructure fabricates via a simple one-pot hydrothermal approach is certified to effectively restrain the recombination of carriers by efficient spatial charge separation. By employing BBN as a reductive-function photocatalyst, a solid-state Z-scheme is constructed to improve the photo-redox capacity of BiVO 4 and hydrogen production is realized in the BiVO 4 –BBN heterostructure for the first time. Furthermore, the solid-state Z-scheme introduced in the BiVO 4 –BBN ensures the photoexcited carriers with the powerful redox capacity to participate in the photocatalytic reaction.

Hydrogen Plasma Reduction of Silicates for Lunar Oxygen Liberation

As crewed missions to the moon become closer, the focus on in-situ resource utilization efforts has increased. Since lunar soil has abundant oxygen on the surface of the moon, work has been done to process this resource in an efficient manner. Hydrogen reduction of lunar regolith has emerged as a method of liberating oxygen that can be used for fuel and water production. Traditional reduction techniques require high temperatures and increased complexity when dealing with high amounts of silicates. Plasma can reduce silicates efficiently and thus has become of high interest for use in the lunar highlands where silicates exist in high quantities. NASA’s Kennedy Space Center is exploring the use of low temperature plasmas for the reduction of silicates. This work shows that exposing silicates to a hydrogen plasma produces water. Residual gas analysis and optical emission spectroscopy were used to measure the relative quantities of water vapor production and OH (A-X) emission for hydrogen plasma interactions with lunar highland simulant and silica. X-ray photo-electron spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy/energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy were also used to observe surface modifications to the silicates that reflect the key chemical reactions that occurred. From this data, plasma has emerged as a promising solution to produce oxygen on the lunar surface. *Work supported by NASA's Science Technology Mission Directorate Center Innovation Fund.

Co-existence of atomically dispersed Ru and Ce 3+ sites is responsible for excellent low temperature N 2 O reduction activity of Ru/CeO 2

Nitrous oxide N 2 O reduction is a big challenge due to high global warming potential of N 2 O. (~300 times higher compared with CO 2 ). The best known catalysts, such as Rh/ceria, require relatively high temperatures for N 2 O decomposition. Herein, we report that Ru/ceria catalysts with low Ru loading of ~0.25 wt% efficiently catalyze low temperature N 2 O reduction by CO starting at 100 °C (full N 2 O conversion below 200 °C) under industrially relevant flow rates and gas concentrations. Further, this remarkable performance stems from maintaining isolated Ru cations even on reduced ceria surface and, simultaneously, the propensity of Ru to affect ceria surface to form labile surface oxygen thereby creating large number of oxygen vacancies (Ce +3 cations) in the presence of CO. In contrast, for Rh/CeO 2 catalysts with equivalent metal loading, the activity is much lower because atomically dispersed Rh sinters into metallic clusters at the onset reaction temperature (~200 °C): these clusters are much less effective than isolated single Ru ions, with lower Ce +3 concentration maintained on reduced Rh/CeO 2 catalyst. Our study highlights the benefits of gaining molecular-level insight into the dynamic nature of catalytically active sites under reaction conditions for preparing catalysts containing low loading of precious metals with unsurpassed low temperature activity.

Oxygen reduction of several gold alloys in 1-molar potassium hydroxide

With rotated disk-and-ring equipment, polarograms and other electrochemical measurements were made of oxygen reduction in 1-molar potassium hydroxide on an equiatomic gold-copper (Au-Cu) alloy and a Au-Cu alloy doped with either indium (In) or cobalt (Co) and on Au doped with either nickel (Ni) or platinum (Pt). The results were compared with those for pure Au and pure Pt. The two-electron reaction dominated on all Au alloys as it did on Au. The polarographic results at lower polarization potentials were compared, assuming exclusively a two-step reduction. A qualified ranking of cathodic electrocatalytic activity on the freshly polished reduced disks was indicated: anodized Au Au-Cu-In Au-Cu Au-Cu-Co is equivalent or equal to Au-Pt Au-Ni. Aging in distilled water improved the electrocatalytic efficiency of Au-Cu-Co, Au-Cu, and (to a lesser extent) Au-Cu-In.

The response of the ionosphere to the injection of chemically reactive vapors

As a gas released in the ionosphere expands, it is rapidly cooled. When the vapor becomes sufficiently tenuous, it is reheated by collisions with the ambient atmosphere and its flow is then governed by diffusive expansion. As the injected gas becomes well mixed with the plasma, a hole is created by chemical processes. In the case of diatomic hydrogen release, depression of the electron concentrations is governed by the charge exchange reaction between oxygen ions and hydrogen, producing positive hydroxyl ions. Hydroxyl ions rapidly react with the electron gas to produce excited oxygen and hydrogen atoms. Enhanced airglow emissions result from the transition of the excited atoms to lower energy states. The electron temperature in the depleted region rises sharply causing a thermal expansion of the plasma and a further reduction in the local plasma concentration.

A model for the evolution of opaques in mare lavas

The apparent 'reduced' state of the opaque mineral assemblages of mare basalts has led to various hypotheses on their origin through reduction by various media. A model is developed whereby the presence of trivalent titanium (Ti/3+/) and metallic iron in mare lavas at low oxygen fugacities automatically leads to the production of the observed assemblages by cooling near the mare basalt solidus. The 'reduced' assemblages may evolve isochemically at oxygen fugacities near the iron-ilmenite-ferropseudobrookite buffer by a reaction of the form Fe(2+)+2 Ti(3+) = metallic iron +2 Ti(4+).

Unraveling Defect-Dependent Conductivity-Type Switching in CuFe 2 O 4 for Enhanced Photoelectrocatalytic Reduction of Benzaldehyde

Photoelectrocatalytic (PEC) reduction provides a sustainable route for upgrading biomass-derived feedstocks with reduced energy requirements, yet remains largely unexplored beyond hydrogen evolution and CO 2 reduction due to the scarcity of stable photocathodes. Here, we report a defect-engineered CuFe 2 O 4 photocathode that enables directly quantified PEC reduction of benzaldehyde to benzyl alcohol using a singlecomponent, earth-abundant oxide. By controlling annealing temperature and oxygen partial pressure, CuFe 2 O 4 is systematically tuned from n-type to p-type conductivity. Electrochemical measurements, X-ray and ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy, and firstprinciples defect calculations collectively show that oxygen-rich annealing conditions suppress deep donor-type oxygen vacancies while stabilizing shallow acceptor-type copper vacancies, resulting in enhanced hole concentration and improved charge transport. In a mixed acetonitrile/water electrolyte employing 1,4-benzoquinone as a redox mediator, the optimized CuFe 2 O 4 photocathode achieves stable photoelectrochemical operation over 18 h under continuous illumination with a benzyl alcohol production rate of 2.57 μmol/h at −0.50 V vs Ag/AgNO 3 , corresponding to a Faradaic efficiency of 51.3%. This PEC approach lowers the required applied potential by ∼1 V compared to traditional electrocatalytic methods, offering a more energy-efficient route for carbonyl reduction. These findings establish CuFe 2 O 4 as a viable photocathode platform for sustainable photoelectrocatalytic organic transformations under mild reaction conditions.

Pretreatment Effects on the Surface Chemistry of Small Oxygenates on Molybdenum Trioxide

Understanding surface reactions of biomass-derived oxygenates on metal oxides is important for designing catalysts for valorization of biomass. As such, This work elucidated the effect of different pretreatments on molybdenum trioxide (MoO 3 ) to understand how surface reactivity is controlled by the surface oxidation state. The catalyst was pretreated in oxidative, inert, and reducing environments. The inert and reducing pretreatments created oxygen vacancies on the catalyst surface that acted as active sites for the adsorption of oxygenated molecules, with the reducing pretreatment yielding a higher density of these active sites. Exposing the catalyst to an alcoholic solvent such as methanol also led to a partial reduction similar to the inert pretreatment. After pretreatment, the catalyst was exposed to ethanol, acetaldehyde, and crotonaldehyde with subsequent characterization by diffuse reflectance infrared spectroscopy (DRIFTS), temperature-programmed desorption (TPD), X-ray absorption near edge spectroscopy (XANES), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Density functional theory (DFT) was also used to determine adsorption configurations and energies of ethanol, acetaldehyde, and crotonaldehyde. Reduced surfaces were shown to have a stronger affinity for carbonyls, leading to a higher activity for the aldol condensation of acetaldehyde and ethanol to C 4 molecules. Catalysts pretreated in an oxidative environment were completely inactive toward chemisorption and reaction of acetaldehyde.

Exploring Ca–Ce–M–O (M = 3d Transition Metal) Oxide Perovskites for Solar Thermochemical Applications

Solar thermochemical (STC) processes hold promise as efficient ways to generate renewable fuels, fuel precursors, or chemical feedstocks using concentrated sunlight. Specifically, one actively researched approach is the two-step STC cycle, which uses a redox-active, off-stoichiometric, transition-metal oxide material to split water and/or CO 2 , generating H 2 and/or CO, respectively, or syngas (a combination of H 2 and CO). Identifying novel metal oxides that yield larger reduction extents (practically achievable off-stoichiometries) than the state-of-the-art CeO 2 is critical. Here, we explore the chemical space of Ca–Ce–M–O (M = 3d transition metal, except Cu and Zn) metal oxide perovskites, with Ca and/or Ce occupying the A site and M occupying the B site within an ABO 3 framework, as potential STC candidates. We use density functional theory (DFT)-based calculations and systematically evaluate the oxygen vacancy (VaO) formation energy (≈ enthalpy of reduction in an STC cycle), electronic properties, thermodynamic stability of CaMO 3 , CeMO 3 , and Ca 0.5 Ce 0.5 MO 3 perovskites, and the VaO formation energy within Ca 0.5 Ce 0.5 Ti 0.5 Mg 0.5 O 3 perovskite. We consider only Ca and/or Ce on the A site because of their similar size and the potential redox activity of Ce 4+ . If both Ce and M exhibit simultaneous reduction with Va O formation, the resulting perovskite could exhibit a larger entropy of reduction than a single cation reduction. The increased entropy produces increased reduction for fixed temperature, partial pressure of oxygen, and reduction enthalpy, and therefore increased STC efficiency. Importantly, we identify Ca 0.5 Ce 0.5 MnO 3 , Ca 0.5 Ce 0.5 FeO 3 , and Ca 0.5 Ce 0.5 VO 3 to be promising candidates based on their Va O formation energy and thermodynamic (meta)stability. Moreover, based on our calculated on-site magnetic moments, electron density of states, and electron density differences between pristine and defective structures, we find Ca 0.5 Ce 0.5 MnO 3 to exhibit simultaneous reduction of both Ce 4+ (A-site) and Mn 3+ (B-site), highlighting a particularly promising candidate for STC applications with a predicted higher entropy of reduction than CeO 2 . Lastly, we extract metrics that govern the trends in Va O formation energies, such as standard reduction potentials, and provide pointers for further experimental and theoretical studies, which will enable the design of improved materials for the STC cycle.

Fe-N 4 O-C Nanoplates Covalently Bonding on Graphene for Efficient CO 2 Electroreduction and Zn-CO 2 Batteries

Electrochemical carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) reduction into value-added products holds great promise in moving toward carbon neutrality but remains a grand challenge due to lack of efficient electrocatalysts. Herein, the nucleophilic substitution reaction is elaborately harnessed to synthesize carbon nanoplates with a Fe-N 4 O configuration anchored onto graphene substrate (Fe-N 4 O-C/Gr) through covalent linkages. Density functional theory calculations demonstrate the unique configuration of Fe-N 4 O with one oxygen (O) atom in the axial direction not only suppresses the competing hydrogen evolution reaction, but also facilitates the desorption of *CO intermediate compared with the commonly planar single-atomic Fe sites. The Fe-N 4 O-C/Gr shows excellent performance in the electroreduction of CO 2 into carbon monoxide (CO) with an impressive Faradaic efficiency of 98.3% at -0.7 V versus reversible hydrogen electrode (RHE) and a high turnover frequency of 3511 h -1 . Furthermore, as a cathode catalyst in an aqueous zinc (Zn)-CO 2 battery, the Fe-N 4 O-C/Gr achieves a high CO Faradaic efficiency (≈91%) at a discharge current density of 3 mA cm -2 and long-term stability over 74 h. Here this work opens up a new route to simultaneously modulate the geometric and electronic structure of single-atomic catalysts toward efficient CO 2 conversion.

Rhodium Single–Atom Catalysts on Titania for Reverse Water Gas Shift Reaction Explored by First Principles Mechanistic Analysis and Compared to Nanoclusters

The thermocatalytic reduction of CO2 by H2 often proceeds via two competing reaction mechanisms—the reverse water gas shift reaction (rWGSR, CO2 + H2 ⇌ CO + H2O) and methanation (CO2 + 4H2 ⇌ CH4 + 2H2O). Atomically dispersed Rh1 catalysts on TiO2 show high selectivity toward the rWGSR compared with larger Rh nanoclusters, but the origin of this size-dependent selectivity has not been fully explained. Here we report density functional theory (DFT) calculations and microkinetic simulations that clarify the Rh1 active sites and rWGSR pathway on anatase TiO2(101), as well as the high rWGSR selectivity of Rh1 compared with supported Rhx (x = 2–8 atoms) nanoclusters. DFT-computed formation energies, vibrational frequency analysis, and microkinetic modeling suggest three plausible active sites: Rh1 on titania (Rh1/TiO2(101)), Rh1 with a nearby hydroxyl group (Rh1OH/TiO2(101)), and Rh1 near an oxygen vacancy at a three-fold coordinated site (Rh1 near O3cvac). Predicted turnover frequencies and apparent activation barriers for Rh1 indicate a faster reaction involving CO2 dissociation assisted by a support oxygen vacancy via Rh1 near O3cvac, as well as slower reactions involving Rh1OH/TiO2(101) or Rh1/TiO2(101) through a COOH intermediate. Furthermore, these Rh1 sites are selective toward CO rather than CH4 because of the weak adsorption of CO, large barrier for C-O bond dissociation, and the lack of nearby metal sites for H2 dissociation, in contrast to Rhx nanoclusters, including Rh2 dimers.

Dynamic Promotion of the Oxygen Evolution Reaction via Programmable Metal Oxides

Hydrogen gas is a promising renewable energy storage medium when produced via water electrolysis, but this process is limited by the sluggish kinetics of the anodic oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Herein, we used a microkinetic model to investigate promoting the OER using programmable oxide catalysts (i.e., forced catalyst dynamics). We found that programmable catalysts could increase current density at a fixed overpotential (100–600× over static rates) or reduce the overpotential required to reach a fixed current density of 10 mA cm –2 (45–140% reduction vs static). In our kinetic parametrization, the key parameters controlling the quality of the catalytic ratchet were the O*-to-OOH* and O*-to-OH* activation barriers. Furthermore, our findings indicate that programmable catalysts may be a viable strategy for accelerating the OER or enabling lower-overpotential operation, but a more accurate kinetic parametrization is required for precise predictions of performance, ratchet quality, and resulting energy efficiency.
