Outstanding Platinum Group Metal-free Bifunctional Catalysts for Rechargeable Zinc-Air Batteries

Developing highly active and durable catalysts for zinc-air batteries (ZAB) is critical for energy conversion and storage. Herein, we prepared Fe-N-C catalysts at a kilogram scale by the commercial VariPore™ method and the effect of synthesis conditions on the catalyst performance at ZAB air electrode was investigated. The results show the PA-450-HT exhibits excellent electrocatalytic activity toward oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and it is the most suitable catalyst for primary ZAB with the galvanostatic polarization discharge peak power density of 149 mW cm -2 , outperforming commercial Pt-Ru/C catalysts. Additionally, the NCB-600-HT catalyst displays the half-wave potential of 0.87 V vs. RHE for ORR and ΔE value of 0.81 V (indicating outstanding ORR and OER reversibility) and exhibits excellent charge-discharge cycling durability similar to NCB-550-LT around 160 h for the secondary ZAB. This work reports outstanding bifunctional Fe-N-C catalysts for rechargeable ZAB at mass production for the first time.

Oxygen reduction reaction catalysts prepared by platinizing thermally activated zeolitic imidazolate frameworks

In this study, highly efficient and low-cost oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) catalyst is essential to improve the cost competitiveness of the proton-exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs). One potential approach of cost reduction is to apply low loading Pt over a catalytically active support made of platinum metal group free (PGM-free) material to compensate the overall ORR activity through synergistic catalysis between Pt and PGM-free support. In this report, we investigated a series of catalysts prepared by adding low-loading Pt over ORR active support prepared through thermally activated Co/Zn methyl-imidazolate framework (Co/Zn-ZIF) at various Co/Zn ratios. Catalytic activity measurement and structural characterization were performed in an attempt to gain better understanding of certain structural factors that could influence the catalytic performance.

Mixed nitrate and metal contamination influences operational speciation of toxic and essential elements

Environmental contamination constrains microbial communities impacting diversity and total metabolic activity. The former S-3 Ponds contamination site at Oak Ridge Reservation (ORR), TN, has elevated concentrations of nitric acid and multiple metals from decades of processing nuclear material. To determine the nature of the metal contamination in the sediment, a three-step sequential chemical extraction (BCR) was performed on sediment segments from a core located upgradient (EB271, non-contaminated) and one downgradient (EB106, contaminated) of the S-3 Ponds. The resulting exchangeable, reducing, and oxidizing fractions were analyzed for 18 different elements. Comparison of the two cores revealed changes in operational speciation for several elements caused by the contamination. Those present from the S-3 Ponds, including Al, U, Co, Cu, Ni, and Cd, were not only elevated in concentration in the EB106 core but were also operationally more available with increased mobility in the acidic environment. Other elements, including Mg, Ca, P, V, As, and Mo, were less operationally available in EB106 having decreased concentrations in the exchangeable fraction. Here, the bioavailability of essential macro nutrients Mg, Ca, and P from the two types of sediment was determined using three metal-tolerant bacteria previously isolated from ORR. Mg and Ca were available from both sediments for all three strains; however, P was not bioavailable from either sediment for any strain. The decreased operational speciation of P in contaminated ORR sediment may increase the dependence of the microbial community on other pools of P or select for microorganisms with increased P scavenging capabilities. Hence, the microbial community at the former S-3 Ponds contamination site may be constrained not only by increased toxic metal concentrations but also by the availability of essential elements, including P.

Ecological connectivity and in-kind mitigation in a regulatory decision framework: A case study with an amphibian habitat specialist

Ecological connectivity is critical to the survival and long-term viability of populations but is often overlooked in regulatory frameworks. We integrated landscape-level processes into a mitigation strategy for impacts to aquatic resources on the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Oak Ridge Reservation (ORR) in eastern Tennessee. Wetlands on the ORR, which contain significant breeding populations of the imperiled four-toed salamander (Hemidactylium scutatum) and tubercled rein orchid (Platanthera flava var. herbiola), will be impacted by construction of an environmental waste disposal facility under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 (CERCLA). Here, we used a modified Kepner-Tregoe decision analysis to select general mitigation options that balanced regulatory requirements and interest group perspectives. We emphasized habitat connectivity through models that prioritized an area's importance to natural area connectivity (centrality) and maintenance of population structure for an affected habitat specialist (four-toed salamanders). We also emphasized in-kind mitigation through the preservation and enhancement of ecologically similar resources and the translocation and establishment of a new subpopulation of four-toed salamanders elsewhere on the ORR. We ultimately released over 500 juvenile salamanders that originated from the impacted site into the chosen mitigation wetlands. By doing so under the constraints of a time-sensitive CERCLA remediation effort and exceeding its substantive requirements, this work underscores feasibility. Ecological connectivity and the conservation of species that are not afforded explicit regulatory processes can be effectively and efficiently integrated into environmental decision-making and land use planning.

The effect of water vapor on surface oxygen exchange kinetics of thin film (La,Sr)(Co,Fe)O 3-δ

Oxygen reduction and transport in electrochemical applications are strongly affected by the reactant gas composition, including impurities such as water. Understanding the relationship between oxygen reactivity and humidity is key for attaining stability and high efficiency of solid oxide fuel cells, which are especially attractive for transportation applications as low emission power generation devices. Both short- and long-term effects of moisture have previously been associated with use of ambient air. To better understand these effects, we study oxygen exchange kinetics at the cathode surface and the cathode/electrolyte interface using La 0.6 Sr 0.4 Co 0.2 Fe 0.8 O 3-δ (LSCF) epitaxial thin films as a model-surface system. In situ synchrotron X-ray techniques evaluate the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) kinetics in response to environmental variables. The results suggest a clear enhancement of the ORR rate upon short term exposure of the perovskite-structured films to water. Finally, on the basis of these measurements, along with in situ X-ray characterization of Sr segregation and computational first-principles studies, we suggest a model for this increased ORR activity that may lead to further improvements by stabilizing active cathode surface configurations.

Hierarchical low Pt-loading “core-shell” electrocatalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction in fuel cells

The sluggish kinetics of the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) hinder cost-effective polymer electrolyte fuel cells (PEFCs), which rely on scarce, expensive platinum-based electrocatalysts (ECs). Here, we present a novel synthesis method for ORR ECs achieving exceptional platinum utilization. The design features a hierarchical “multi-carbon” support comprising carbon nanoparticles interacting with graphene nanoplatelets as the “core”, encapsulated by a porous carbon nitride (CN) “shell”. This configuration promotes strong core/shell interactions and a bimodal active site distribution, consisting of chemically dispersed Pt and Ni single-atom complexes and PtNix alloy nanoclusters embedded in the CN shell. These advantages enable high activity and durability, achieving an ORR activity of 1.6 A mgPt−1 at 0.9 V vs. RHE-an order of magnitude higher than Pt/C (0.17 A mgPt−1). A proof-of-concept PEFC demonstrates a specific power of 12.0 kW gPt−1 at 0.60 V. This approach offers a significant step toward more efficient and sustainable PEFC technologies.

Tailoring a Three-Phase Microenvironment for High-Performance Oxygen Reduction Reaction in Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells

Despite tremendous progress in catalyst development for rate-limiting cathodic oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), reducing Pt usage while meeting performance requirements in practical proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) remains a challenge. The ORR in PEMFCs occurs at a catalyst–electrolyte–gas three-phase interface. A desirable interface should exhibit highly active and available catalytic sites, as well as allow efficient oxygen and proton feeding to the catalytic sites and timely removal of water to avoid interface flooding. In this work, we report the design of a three-phase microenvironment in PEFMCs, showing that carbon surface chemistry can be tuned to modulate its interaction with the ionomers and create favorable transport paths for rapid delivery of both reactants and products. With such an elaborate interfacial design, for the first time we have demonstrated PEMFCs with all key ORR catalyst performance metrics, including mass activity, rated power, and durability, surpassing the US Department of Energy targets.

Boosting the activity of non-platinum group metal electrocatalyst for the reduction of oxygen via dual-ligated atomically dispersed precursors immobilized on carbon supports

This paper describes the use of both atomically dispersed precursors (ADPs) and conductive carbon dispersion towards the synthesis of iron-based single atom electrocatalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). For non-platinum group metal (non-PGM) catalysts, single iron, cobalt or manganese atoms coordinated with nitrogen are the most active structures towards the ORR. Achieving a high density of active sites made of single atoms is still challenging, requiring careful controls of pyrolysis to reduce the sintering of metal active sites. Herewith, we present a new strategy to synthesize iron-based single atom ORR electrocatalysts using a two pronged approach. We first designed a dual-ligated metal organic framework (MOF) precursor. This MOF was then immobilized onto Ketjen black carbon that serves as a conductive dispersion medium for creating the highly dispersed single atom sites. In this work, we demonstrate a near complete dispersion of the iron sites without obvious formation of nanoparticles. The activity of the resulting electrocatalyst exhibited an onset potential of 0.96 V and a half-wave potential of 0.84 V vs. reversible hydrogen electrode (RHE).

Graphene-supported single atom catalysts for high performance lithium-oxygen batteries

The optimal choice of d-block metals in single atom catalysts (SACs) is crucial for designing efficient electrocatalysts for activating the Oxygen reduction reaction (ORR)/ Oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in lithiumoxygen batteries (LOBs). Herein, we used the Quantum Mechanics methods to understand the origin of reactivity for a series of 16 d-block metals supported on nitrogen-doped graphene as SACs for ORR and OER in LOBs. Based on the Gibbs free energy calculations, we found that among the 16 SACs investigated, Zn-SAC exhibits the highest electrochemical activity with the lowest overpotential of 0.17 V. Here we then used machine learning (ML) to develop an intrinsic descriptor, phi, that correlates the catalytic activity with electronic and chemical properties of the catalytic centers at the M-N 4 active site on graphene surface. We established a linear relationship between phi and the catalytic activity that provides guidance for designing efficient SACs for electrocatalysis in LOBs. To validate these predictions, we report electrochemical measurements showing that Zn-SAC exhibits an ultra-stable cyclability with reduced overpotentials over Mo-SAC and nitrogen-doped graphene (NG), confirming our theoretical prediction. This fundamental work provides a deep understanding on the rational design of efficient SACs for OER/ ORR in LOBs.

Developing Scaling Relationships for Molecular Electrocatalysis through Studies of Fe-Porphyrin-Catalyzed O 2 Reduction

The oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is a multiproton/multielectron transformation in which dioxygen (O 2 ) is reduced to water or hydrogen peroxide and serves as the cathode reaction in most fuel cells. The ORR (O 2 + 4e – + 4H + → 2H 2 O) involves up to nine substrates and thus requires navigating a complicated reaction landscape, typically with several high-energy intermediates. Many catalysts can perform this reaction, though few operate with fast rates and at low overpotentials (close to the thermodynamic potential). Attempts to optimize these parameters, both in homogeneous and heterogeneous electrocatalytic systems, have focused on modifying catalyst design and understanding kinetic/thermodynamic relationships between catalytic intermediates. One such method for analyzing and predicting catalyst reactivity and efficiency has been the development of “molecular scaling relationships”. In this work, we share our experience deriving and utilizing molecular scaling relationships for soluble, iron-porphyrin-catalyzed O 2 reduction in organic solvents. These relationships correlate turnover frequencies (TOF max ) and effective overpotentials (η eff ), properties uniquely defined for homogeneous catalysts. Following a general introduction of scaling relationships for both homogeneous and heterogeneous electrocatalysis, we describe the components of such scaling relationships: (i) the overall thermochemistry of the reaction and (ii) the rate and rate law of the catalyzed reaction. We then show how connecting these thermodynamic and kinetic parameters reveals multiple molecular scaling relationships for iron-porphyrin-catalyzed O 2 reduction. For example, the log(TOF max ) responds steeply to changes in ηeff that result from different catalyst reduction potentials (18.5 decades in TOF max /V in η eff ) but much less dramatically to changes in η eff that arise from varying the pKa of the acid buffer (5.1 decades in TOF max /V in η eff ). Thus, a single scaling relationship is not always sufficient for describing molecular electrocatalysis. This is particularly evident when the catalyst identity and reaction conditions are coupled. Using these multiple scaling relationships, we demonstrate that the metrics of turnover frequency and effective overpotential can be predictably tuned to achieve faster rates at lowered overpotentials. This Account uses a collection of related stories describing our research on soluble iron-porphyrin-catalyzed ORR to show how molecular scaling relationships can be derived and used for any electrocatalytic reaction. Such scaling relationships are powerful tools that connect the thermochemistry, mechanism, and rate law for a catalytic system. We hope that this collection shows the utility and simplicity of the molecular scaling approach for understanding catalysis, for enabling direct comparisons between catalyst systems, and for optimizing catalytic processes.

In Situ X-Ray Absorption Spectroscopy Disentangles the Roles of Copper and Silver in a Bimetallic Catalyst for the Oxygen Reduction Reaction

Silver-based bimetallic catalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) are promising for a wide variety of renewable energy technologies, including alkaline fuel cells and metal-air batteries. The activity of bimetallic catalysts can sometimes surpass that of either constituent element, but the origin of the enhanced performance is still debated. At a given active site, two complementary mechanisms are proposed to explain the performance improvements: the binding energy of intermediate adsorbates can be tuned by direct electronic contributions from the alloying element or by changes in the bond lengths from lattice distortion. To distinguish between these effects and elucidate the respective roles of each element in the bimetallic, it is critical to study catalysts at the molecular scale under reaction conditions. In this work, we use in situ X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) alongside density functional theory (DFT) to show that direct electronic rather than geometric effects are the primary cause of improved ORR activity in a bimetallic CuAg catalyst. Our results indicate that the local bonding as well as the electronic structure of Ag are virtually unchanged by the presence of Cu, whereas the electronic states of Cu in CuAg are significantly altered. DFT calculations support these experimental findings. We show strong evidence that the activity of the bimetallic CuAg catalyst exceeds the sum of the activities of Cu and Ag, not by incremental improvement of the active Ag sites, but by creating highly active Cu-centered catalytic sites. The insight that the main role of Ag in bimetallic catalysts may be to promote its fellow element through local electronic interactions provides a new design principle for engineering the next generation of bimetallic catalysts for the ORR and beyond.

Electrocatalysis in Alkaline Media and Alkaline Membrane-Based Energy Technologies

Hydrogen energy-based electrochemical energy conversion technologies offer the promise of enabling a transition of the global energy landscape from fossil fuels to renewable energy. Here, we present a comprehensive review of the fundamentals of electrocatalysis in alkaline media and applications in alkaline-based energy technologies, particularly alkaline fuel cells and water electrolyzers. Anion exchange (alkaline) membrane fuel cells (AEMFCs) enable the use of nonprecious electrocatalysts for the sluggish oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), relative to proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs), which require Pt-based electrocatalysts. However, the hydrogen oxidation reaction (HOR) kinetics is significantly slower in alkaline media than in acidic media. Understanding these phenomena requires applying theoretical and experimental methods to unravel molecular-level thermodynamics and kinetics of hydrogen and oxygen electrocatalysis and, particularly, the proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) process that takes place in a proton-deficient alkaline media. Extensive electrochemical and spectroscopic studies, on single-crystal Pt and metal oxides, have contributed to the development of activity descriptors, as well as the identification of the nature of active sites, and the rate-determining steps of the HOR and ORR. Among these, the structure and reactivity of interfacial water serve as key potential and pH-dependent kinetic factors that are helping elucidate the origins of the HOR and ORR activity differences in acids and bases. Additionally, deliberately modulating and controlling catalyst-support interactions have provided valuable insights for enhancing catalyst accessibility and durability during operation. The design and synthesis of highly conductive and durable alkaline membranes/ionomers have enabled AEMFCs to reach initial performance metrics equal to or higher than those of PEMFCs. We emphasize the importance of using membrane electrode assemblies (MEAs) to integrate the often separately pursued/optimized electrocatalyst/support and membranes/ionomer components. Operando/in situ methods, at multiscales, and ab initio simulations provide a mechanistic understanding of electron, ion, and mass transport at catalyst/ionomer/membrane interfaces and the necessary guidance to achieve fuel cell operation in air over thousands of hours. We hope that this Review will serve as a roadmap for advancing the scientific understanding of the fundamental factors governing electrochemical energy conversion in alkaline media with the ultimate goal of achieving ultralow Pt or precious-metal-free high-performance and durable alkaline fuel cells and related technologies.

Effects of Superparamagnetic Iron Nanoparticles on Electrocatalysts for the Reduction of Oxygen

It is of great research interest to understand the nanostructures contributing to the activity observed in the reduction of oxygen by non-platinum group metal (PGM) electrocatalysts in acidic media. Iron- and nitrogen-containing carbon networks are often the most studied structures, among which single-atom iron-coordinated nitrogen (FeNx) moieties have often been proposed to be the structures leading to the high activity in these non-PGM electrocatalysts. Iron nanoparticles embedded within a carbon support are also formed under certain conditions as a result of the synthetic processes in making non-PGM electrocatalysts. In this study, we present a study to understand the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) activity of prepared iron- and nitrogen-containing non-PGM electrocatalysts obtained through the pyrolysis of metal–organic framework (MOF) precursors. We studied the structure–property relationship among nanostructures made from the MOF precursor ZIF-8 under different pyrolysis conditions. Density functional theory calculations were used to explain the effect of structural moieties on the ORR activity. Our results suggest that iron-coordinated C–N structures and iron nanoparticles act synergistically to catalyze the ORR.

Effect of TiO x Substrate Interactions on the Electrocatalytic Oxygen Reduction Reaction at Au Nanoparticles

Here, we report a robust model for studying electrocatalytic reactions at metal nanoparticles (NPs) in contact with metal oxide surfaces. The metal oxide layer (TiO x ) is prepared by atomic layer deposition, and it is sufficiently thin that it does not hinder electron transfer from the underlying conductive electrode to the supported AuNP electrocatalysts. In advance of the experiments, density functional theory (DFT) predicted that direct contact between AuNPs and TiO x would lead to enhanced activity for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). DFT attributes the observed ORR enhancement to partial charge transfer from oxygen vacancies within the TiO x film to the supported AuNPs and hence formation of anionic Au species. The experimental findings are in near quantitative agreement with the DFT results. Specifically, compared to isolated AuNPs, decreases of ~ 100 and ~ 50 mV in the ORR onset potential are observed experimentally for AuNPs supported on TiO 1.9 and TiO 2.0 films, respectively.

Modifying Interface Solvation and Oxygen Reduction Electrocatalysis with Hydrophobic Species

Ionic liquid interlayers improve the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) kinetics on bulk and nanostructured catalysts for both Pt and alloyed-Pt materials. Despite the demonstrated performance enhancement at the half-cell and membrane electrode assembly level, the mechanism of the improvement is not fully understood. In this work, we combine single-crystal experiments with microkinetic modeling to uncover the origin of the ORR kinetic improvement on Pt(111) in the presence of ionic liquids and hydrophobic cations. With the incorporation of a modified Frumkin isotherm, our model accurately simulates the disorder–order transition observed in hydroxyl and bisulfate adsorption on Pt(111) under acidic conditions. Voltametric analysis shows that ionic liquids impact solvation to break so-called scaling relations between the adsorption strength of OH ad and O ad , but these effects have little impact on ORR activity. Instead, destabilized OH ad reduces the overall hydroxyl (spectator) coverage, resulting in higher availability of active sites.

Identifying and Tuning the In Situ Oxygen-Rich Surface of Molybdenum Nitride Electrocatalysts for Oxygen Reduction

Rigorous in situ studies of electrocatalysts are required to enable the design of higher performing materials. Nonplatinum group metals for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) catalysis containing light elements such as O, N, and C are known to be susceptible to both ex situ and in situ oxidation, leading to challenges associated with ex situ characterization methods. We have previously shown that the bulk O content plays an important role in the activity and selectivity of Mo–N catalysts, but further understanding of the role of composition and morphological changes at the surface is needed. Here, we report the measurement of in situ surface changes to a molybdenum nitride (MoN) thin film under ORR conditions using grazing incidence X-ray absorption and reflectivity. We show that the half-wave potential of MoN can be improved by ~90 mV by potential conditioning up to 0.8 V versus RHE. Utilizing electrochemical analysis, dissolution monitoring, and surface-sensitive X-ray techniques, we show that under moderate polarization (0.3–0.7 V vs RHE) there is local ligand distortion, O incorporation, and amorphization of the MoN surface, without changes in roughness. Furthermore, with a controlled potential hold procedure, we show that the surface changes concurrent with potential conditioning are stable under ORR relevant potentials. Conversely, at higher potentials (≥0.8 V vs RHE), the film incorporates O, dissolves, and roughens, suggesting that in this higher potential regime, the performance enhancements are due to increased access to active sites. Density functional theory calculations and Pourbaix analysis provide insights into film stability and O incorporation as a function of potential. These findings coupled with in situ electrochemical surface-sensitive X-ray techniques demonstrate an approach to studying nontraditional surfaces in which we can leverage our understanding of surface dynamics to improve performance with the rational, in situ tuning of active sites.

One-Step Facile Synthesis of High-Activity Nitrogen-Doped PtNiN Oxygen Reduction Catalyst

PtM alloy electrocatalysts (M = Fe, Co, Ni) have been the subject of many investigations aimed at increasing their attractive properties, in particular oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) activity, while reducing total platinum-group-metal content and improving durability. Despite some success, these catalysts still have relatively high Pt content and lack the necessary durability as M metals leach out from the alloys during potential cycling. Previously, we synthesized nitrogen (N)-doped PtMN/C catalysts consisting of thin Pt shells on M nitride cores by a two-step method, which showed higher ORR activity and stability than their PtM counterparts. In the present work, we developed a facile one-step synthesis method, which comprises a single thermal annealing process of the N-doped PtNiN/C alloy. The ORR performance of the one-step synthesized PtNiN/C catalyst is much higher than that of the two-step synthesized PtNiN/C, as revealed by rotating disk electrode measurements. Membrane electrode assembly fuel cell testing demonstrated superb durability and high activity. Formation of Pt monolayer shells on the nitrided (Pt x Ni 1-x ) 4 N cores was confirmed by in situ X-ray absorption spectroscopy. The origins of the enhanced activity and stability of the one-step synthesized PtNiN/C catalyst are elucidated based on density functional theory calculations together with the experimental results.
