Two-Dimensional Conductive Ni-HAB as a Catalyst for the Electrochemical Oxygen Reduction Reaction

Catalytic systems whose properties can be systematically tuned via changes in synthesis conditions are highly desirable for the next-generation catalyst design and optimization. Herein, we present a two-dimensional (2D) conductive metal–organic framework consisting of M-N 4 units (M = Ni, Cu) and a hexaaminobenzene (HAB) linker as a catalyst for the oxygen reduction reaction. By varying synthetic conditions, we prepared two Ni-HAB catalysts with different crystallinities, resulting in catalytic systems with different electric conductivities, electrochemical activity, and stability. We show that crystallinity has a positive impact on conductivity and demonstrate that this improved crystallinity/conductivity improves the catalytic performance of our model system. Additionally, density functional theory simulations were performed to probe the origin of M-HAB’s catalytic activity, and they suggest that M-HAB’s organic linker acts as the active site with the role of the metal being to modulate the linker sites’ binding strength.

Polarized metal–metal multiple bonding and reactivity of phosphinoamide-bridged heterobimetallic group IV/cobalt compounds

Heterobimetallic complexes are studied for their ability to mimic biological systems as well as active sites in heterogeneous catalysts. While specific interest in early/late heterobimetallic systems has fluctuated, they serve as important models to fundamentally understand metal–metal bonding. Specifically, the polarized metal–metal multiple bonds formed in highly reduced early/late heterobimetallic complexes exemplify how each metal modulates the electronic environment and reactivity of the complex as a whole. In this Perspective, we chronicle the development of phosphinoamide-supported group IV/cobalt heterobimetallic complexes. This combination of metals allows access to a low valent Co −I center, which performs a rich variety of bond activation reactions when coupled with the pendent Lewis acidic metal center. Conversely, the low valent late transition metal is also observed to act as an electron reservoir, allowing for redox processes to occur at the d 0 group IV metal site. Most of the bond activation reactions carried out by phosphinoamide-bridged M/Co −I (M = Ti, Zr, Hf) complexes are facilitated by cleavage of metal–metal multiple bonds, which serve as readily accessible electron reservoirs. Comparative studies in which both the number of buttressing ligands as well as the identity of the early metal were varied to give a library of heterobimetallic complexes are summarized, providing a thorough understanding of the reactivity of M/Co −I heterobimetallic systems

The electrode–electrolyte interface of Cu via modulation excitation X-ray absorption spectroscopy

The development and application of modulation excitation X-ray absorption spectroscopy with sub-second resolution and better than 0.02% detection sensitivity unveils the kinetics of the anodic oxidation of Cu in bicarbonate electrolytes. Accessing the electrode–electrolyte interface under operating conditions and capturing time-resolved kinetics remain challenging in electrochemical studies. Copper's interfacial oxidation dynamics remain unclear despite extensive research. Modulation excitation X-ray absorption spectroscopy (ME-XAS) was used to probe Cu in 100 mM KHCO 3 with sub-second sensitivity, revealing that hydroxide forms 30 ± 10 ms before the appearance of Cu 2 O at positive potentials (0 to 0.5 V vs. RHE) near open-circuit conditions. From −0.4 to 0.8 V vs. RHE, hydroxide coverage reaches 49%, accompanied by a balanced presence of Cu( i ) and Cu( ii ) oxides. These insights into Cu interfacial redox behavior under intermittent renewable energy operation—relevant to CO 2 electrolyzer durability—enhance our fundamental understanding of electrochemical interfaces.

Modular Assembly of FTO|Chromophore-Catalyst Hierarchical Films Based on Strong Dipole Interactions

Here, we have designed and characterized modular self-assembled hierarchical films containing a molecular catalyst tethered to an anchoring molecule by means of dipole-induced dipole interactions. In order to do so, two new Co III -based molecular catalyst candidates were designed, namely, [Co III L 1 (pyrr) 2 ]ClO 4 (Co1) and [Co III L 2 (pyrr) 2 ]ClO 4 (Co2), where L 1 and L 2 are the respective deprotonated forms of N,N′-[4,5-bis(dodecyloxy)-1,2-phenylene]dipicolinamide and N,N′-[4,5-bis(methoxyethoxy)-1,2-phenylene]dipicolinamide and were characterized by electrochemical, electronic, and film formation properties. Species Co1 and Co2 were deposited onto an anchor molecule such as octylphosphonic acid (OPA) or the chromophoric [Ru II (bpy PO3H ) 2 (bpy C7 )]Cl 2 (Ru) previously attached onto conductive fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO). Four hierarchical films of the form substrate|anchor-catalyst were obtained, namely, FTO|OPA-Co1, FTO|OPA-Co2, FTO|Ru-Co1, and FTO|Ru-Co2, and the role of dipole-dipole interactions between anchor and catalyst modules was assessed. These newly synthesized hierarchical films were characterized by a host of surface-specific methods that include X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, ellipsometry, X-ray fluorescence, and water contact angle, thus enabling an unprecedented level of analysis. Compared to the weak C-H van der Waals interactions exhibited by Co1, the presence of alkoxy chains in Co2 ensures stronger dipole-dipole interactions with the alkyl chain of the anchors due to O···H formation. The persistence of their redox properties, which include metal oxidation, and directionality of electron transport were probed suggesting direct relevance to catalytic processes such as water oxidation.

Biaxial Strains Mediated Oxygen Reduction Electrocatalysis on Fenton Reaction Resistant L1 0 ‐PtZn Fuel Cell Cathode

Abstract PtM alloy catalysts (e.g., PtFe, PtCo), especially in an intermetallic L1 0 structure, have attracted considerable interest due to their respectable activity and stability for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs). However, metal‐catalyzed formation of ·OH from H 2 O 2 (i.e., Fenton reaction) by Fe‐ or Co‐containing catalysts causes severe degradation of PEM/catalyst layers, hindering the prospects of commercial applications. Zinc is known as an antioxidant in Fenton reaction, but is rarely alloyed with Pt owing to its relatively negative redox potential. Here, sub‐4 nm intermetallic L1 0 ‐PtZn nanoparticles (NPs) are synthesized as high‐performance PEMFC cathode catalysts. In PEMFC tests, the L1 0 ‐PtZn cathode achieves outstanding activity (0.52 A mg Pt −1 at 0.9 V iR ‐free , and peak power density of 2.00 W cm −2 ) and stability (only 16.6% loss in mass activity after 30 000 voltage cycles), exceeding the U.S. DOE 2020 targets and most of the reported ORR catalysts. Density function theory calculations reveal that biaxial strains developed upon the disorder‐order (A1L1 0 ) transition of PtZn NPs would modulate the surface PtPt distances and optimize PtO binding for ORR activity enhancement, while the increased vacancy formation energy of Zn atoms in an ordered structure accounts for the improved stability.

Revealing Progressive Degradation of Cobalt Oxide Nanoparticles During Thermochemical Redox Cycling via Operando STEM-EELS

Metal oxides are promising materials for long-duration thermochemical energy storage. Efforts to characterize their reaction kinetics, conversion rate, and morphological evolution during thermochemical cycling have largely focused on bulk and microscale measurements. However, the design of nanostructured metal oxides could improve the reaction reversibility and kinetics, warranting the development of platforms to investigate how these materials behave at the nanoscale. Here, we demonstrate the use of correlative, time-resolved electron energy loss spectroscopy and imaging in an environmental transmission electron microscope for studying the thermochemical cyclability of cobalt oxide nanoparticles with high spatial and temporal resolution. The spectroscopic data reveal a striking decrease in reaction kinetics after the first cycle, resulting from sintering-driven nanostructural densification. Comparison between cycling in humid and dry air shows that atmospheric conditions can modulate reaction transition temperatures but have limited effects on sintering over multiple cycles, suggesting long-term durability will instead rely on synthetic and/or nanostructural modifications.

Acetyl-CoA Synthesis Through a Bicyclic Carbon-Fixing Pathway in Gas-Fermenting Bacteria

Gas-fermenting acetogens can upgrade one-carbon (C1) compounds (such as CO2 and CO) to the two-carbon (C2) metabolite acetyl coenzyme A (CoA) and convert sugar feedstocks to acetyl-CoA with minimal CO2 emissions. Fulfilling the biosynthetic potential of these microbes requires overcoming challenges in pathway engineering. Here we design a synthetic acetyl-CoA bi-cycle-in addition to the natural carbon-fixing pathways-for C2 metabolite synthesis. This pathway produces an acetyl-CoA by fixation of two CO2 equivalents via three functional modules acting in sequence: carbon fixation, gluconeogenesis and non-oxidative glycolysis. The pathway was examined by in silico thermodynamic and kinetic analyses. The prototypic pathway was implemented in a syngas-fermenting organism, Clostridium ljungdahlii DSM 13528, by expressing a heterologous phosphoketolase that can work with other native enzymes in the host acetogen. The carbon conversion pathway is possible under various growth conditions and is independent of the Wood-Ljungdahl pathway for the valorization of H2 and CO2. This study reports the improvement of carbon conversion using a reductive acetyl-CoA bi-cycle and the potential impact of redox homoeostasis in the acetogenic host for industrial applications of gas fermentation.

Integrative structural and functional analysis of human malic enzyme 3: A potential therapeutic target for pancreatic cancer

Malic enzymes (ME1, ME2, and ME3) are involved in cellular energy regulation, redox homeostasis, and biosynthetic processes, through the production of pyruvate and reducing agent NAD(P)H. Recent studies have implicated the third and least well-characterized isoform, mitochondrial NADP + -dependent malic enzyme 3 (ME3), as a therapeutic target for pancreatic cancers. Here, we utilized an integrated structure approach to determine the structures of ME3 in various ligand-binding states at near-atomic resolutions. ME3 is captured in the open form existing as a stable tetramer and its dynamic Domain C is critical for activity. Catalytic assay results reveal that ME3 is a non-allosteric enzyme and does not require modulators for activity while structural analysis suggests that the inner stability of ME3 Domain A relative to ME2 disables allostery in ME3. With structural information available for all three malic enzymes, the foundation has been laid to understand the structural and biochemical differences of these enzymes and could aid in the development of specific malic enzyme small molecule drugs.

Role of the Character of the Excited State of Singly Reduced Rh 2 (II,II) Intermediates on Photocatalytic Activity

Singly reduced intermediates have recently been implicated as photoactive intermediates in a number of important reactions; however, their photophysical properties remain poorly understood. A series of dirhodium(II,II) complexes, cis-[Rh 2 (p-R-Form) 2 (bncn) 2 ] 2+ (bncn = benzo[c]cinnoline; p-R-Form = N,N′-di-p-R-phenylformamidinate), where R = −OCH 3 (1), −CH 3 (2), −H (3), −F (4), −Cl (5), and −CF 3 (6), and their respective radical anions were prepared and their excited state properties were investigated. Complex 3 acted as a singlemolecule photocatalyst for H 2 production with red light. Substitution on the formamidinate ligands in 1−6 affected the energy of the Rh 2 (δ*)/Form(π,nb) highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO), consistent with the metal/ligand-to-ligand charge transfer ( 1 ML-LCT) absorption maxima and the 3 ML-LCT excited state lifetime, ranging from 1.6 ns in 1 to 54 ns in 6 in CH 3 CN. The highest turnover number for photocatalytic H 2 evolution was observed for 3, and the lowest values were for 1 and 6. The radical anion, [Rh 2 ] − , formed during photocatalysis, was shown to absorb a photon and undergo a second reduction. The lifetimes of the doublet excited states of [3] − and [6] − were 0.49 and 0.24 ns, respectively. Calculations showed that the lowest energy excited state in [3] − was 2 ML-LCT, whereas that in [6] − was a bncn − → Rh 2 (σ*) ligand-to-metal charge transfer ( 2 LMCT) state. The 2 LMCT state stabilized across the series from [1] − to [6] − , pointing at its role in modulating the photophysical properties. This work highlights the importance of the reductive quenching of [Rh 2 ] − and the generation of the doubly reduced species to effectively catalyze hydrogen evolution.

Utilization of protein film electrochemistry to characterize the mechanisms imparting aerotolerance and bidirectionality in soluble, multimeric [NiFe]-hydrogenases (Final Report for Grant No. DE-SC0008074)

The overall goal of this project was to better understand how structural features control functional aspects of enzymes involved in catalysis in which a substrate is oxidized or reduced. Two types of model enzymes were explored: the soluble [NiFe]-hydrogenase from Pyrococcus furiousus and the thiosulfate reductase from Pyrobaculum aerophilum. Both are models for complex, multielectron transformations such as nitrogen and carbon dioxide reduction, and parts of important biogeochemical cycles. In this project, electrochemical methods were used to define the activities of these enzymes and targeted variants designed to modulate activity. We showed that the catalytic activity of the soluble hydrogenase from Pyrococcus furiosus can be modulated by removing large parts of the enzyme far from the active site. This surprising result suggests that interactions between functional centers far apart within the enzyme may be essential for controlling and tuning activity. We also showed that the catalytic activity of thiosulfate reductase from Pyrobaculum aerophilum can be modulated by changing the metal at the active site to be either molybdenum or tungsten. These results contribute to our understanding of how the protein environment can tune the reactivity of an embedded metal, catalytic center. The results were and are being published in peer-reviewed, scientific publications.

Potential virus-mediated nitrogen cycling in oxygen-depleted oceanic waters

Viruses play an important role in the ecology and biogeochemistry of marine ecosystems. Beyond mortality and gene transfer, viruses can reprogram microbial metabolism during infection by expressing auxiliary metabolic genes (AMGs) involved in photosynthesis, central carbon metabolism, and nutrient cycling. While previous studies have focused on AMG diversity in the sunlit and dark ocean, less is known about the role of viruses in shaping metabolic networks along redox gradients associated with marine oxygen minimum zones (OMZs). Here, we analyzed relatively quantitative viral metagenomic datasets that profiled the oxygen gradient across Eastern Tropical South Pacific (ETSP) OMZ waters, assessing whether OMZ viruses might impact nitrogen (N) cycling via AMGs. Identified viral genomes encoded six N-cycle AMGs associated with denitrification, nitrification, assimilatory nitrate reduction, and nitrite transport. The majority of these AMGs (80%) were identified in T4-like Myoviridae phages, predicted to infect Cyanobacteria and Proteobacteria, or in unclassified archaeal viruses predicted to infect Thaumarchaeota. Four AMGs were exclusive to anoxic waters and had distributions that paralleled homologous microbial genes. Together, these findings suggest viruses modulate N-cycling processes within the ETSP OMZ and may contribute to nitrogen loss throughout the global oceans thus providing a baseline for their inclusion in the ecosystem and geochemical models.

Activation of Lattice and Adatom Oxygen by Highly Stable Ceria-Supported Cu Single Atoms

Requiring catalysts to be both active yet stable over long periods of time under variable reaction conditions including high and low temperatures is a daunting challenge due to the almost mutual exclusivity of these constraints. Using CO oxidation as a probe reaction, in this work we demonstrate that thermally stable single atom copper catalysts prepared by high temperature synthesis (atom trapping) on ceria can achieve this feat by allowing modulation of the Cu charge state through facile charge transfer between active site and support. This provides the catalysts with an ability to activate either lattice or adatom oxygen atoms, accessing additional reaction channels depending on the reaction conditions. Such adaptability allows dynamic response of catalysts enabling them to remain active under variable reaction conditions. The inherent stability of the catalyst arises from the enhanced strength of the Cu-O interactions from high temperature synthesis that exist even when Cu oxidation state varies, which retards sintering and deactivation. As we show here, one can circumvent the dilemma of designing catalysts that are simultaneously active and stable by matching the redox properties of the active site and support and establishing an environmental adaptability around the active sites.

Potential dependent spectroelectrochemistry of electrofluorogenic dyes on indium–tin oxide

Indium-tin oxide (ITO) is used in a variety of applications due to its electrical conductivity and optical transparency. Moreover, ITO-coated glass is a common working electrode for spectroelectrochemistry. Thus, the ITO substrates should exhibit well-understood spectroscopic characteristics. Here, we report anomalous potential-dependent luminescence emission from three structurally dissimilar electrofluorogenic probe on ITO-coated glass. The three probes, flavin mononucleotide, resorufin, and Nile blue, show the expected fluorescence modulation between their oxidized, emissive forms and their reduced, nonfluorescent forms at low laser irradiance and/or high concentrations. However, at high irradiance and/or low concentration, the emission intensity increases at reducing potentials, contrary to expectations. In addition, a strong interplay between probe molecule concentration and laser irradiance is observed. We attribute the anomalous behavior to a combination of (1) irradiance-dependent ITO carrier dynamics, and (2) interaction of the fluorescent probe with ITO at reducing potentials resulting in a charge transfer state with altered emission behavior. Thus, the potential- and irradiance-dependent behavior of ITO and the resulting charge transfer state may not only interfere with the observation of potential-dependent fluorescence from redox probes but can completely reverse the polarity of the potential-dependent luminescence, especially at high irradiance and low concentration.

Role of aggregates and microstructure of mixed-ionic–electronic-conductors on charge transport in electrochemical transistors

Synthetic efforts have delivered a library of organic mixed ionic–electronic conductors (OMIECs) with high performance in electrochemical transistors. The most promising materials are redox-active conjugated polymers with hydrophilic side chains that reach high transconductances in aqueous electrolytes due to volumetric electrochemical charging. Current approaches to improve transconductance and device stability focus mostly on materials chemistry including backbone and side chain design. However, other parameters such as the initial microstructure and microstructural rearrangements during electrochemical charging are equally important and are influenced by backbone and side chain chemistry. In this study, we employ a polymer system to investigate the fundamental electrochemical charging mechanisms of OMIECs. We couple in situ electronic charge transport measurements and spectroelectrochemistry with ex situ X-ray scattering electrochemical charging experiments and find that polymer chains planarize during electrochemical charging. Our work shows that the most effective conductivity modulation is related to electrochemical accessibility of well-ordered, interconnected aggregates that host high mobility electronic charge carriers. Electrochemical stress cycling induces microstructural changes, but we find that these aggregates can largely maintain order, providing insights on the structural stability and reversibility of electrochemical charging in these systems. Finally, this work shows the importance of material design for creating OMIECs that undergo structural rearrangements to accommodate ions and electronic charge carriers during which percolating networks are formed for efficient electronic charge transport.

Effect of a redox-mediating ligand shell on photocatalysis by CdS quantum dots

Semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) are efficient organic photoredox catalysts due to their high extinction coefficients and easily tunable band edge potentials. Despite the majority of the surface being covered by ligands, our understanding of the effect of the ligand shell on organic photocatalysis is limited to steric effects. We hypothesize that we can increase the activity of QD photocatalysts by designing a ligand shell with targeted electronic properties, namely, redox-mediating ligands. Herein, we functionalize our QDs with hole-mediating ferrocene (Fc) derivative ligands and perform a reaction where the slow step is hole transfer from QD to substrate. Surprisingly, we find that a hole-shuttling Fc inhibits catalysis, but confers much greater stability to the catalyst by preventing a build-up of destructive holes. We also find that dynamically bound Fc ligands can promote catalysis by surface exchange and creation of a more permeable ligand shell. Finally, we find that trapping the electron on a ligand dramatically increases the rate of reaction. Furthermore, these results have major implications for understanding the rate-limiting processes for charge transfer from QDs and the role of the ligand shell in modulating it.

Watching Polarons Move in the Energy and Frequency Domains Using Color Impedance Spectroscopy

The hybrid electronic–ionic transport property of π-conjugated polymers enables new (opto)electrochemical device constructs for energy conversion and storage and biosensing applications. One major challenge is separating the energy and frequency dependence of Faradaic events–those involving charge transfer and the redox processes of the conjugated backbone–from the non-Faradaic components, such as ionic motion. Herein, we combine optical spectroscopy with electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) to resolve the frequency response of ionic–electronic coupling as a function of electrochemical doping potential. First, using EIS, we identify two different frequency regimes resulting in potential-dependent capacitive elements on the order of ~10 μF/cm 2 in a high-frequency regime and ~50–150 μF/cm 2 in a low-frequency regime. Given the larger magnitude and greater potential dependence, we posit that polaronic motion is more likely to occur at low frequencies (<1 kHz) and overlaps with ionic motion. The use of color impedance spectroscopy (CIS) enables observation of polaronic motion with frequency modulation. We observe that higher doping potentials show a greater motion of polarons above the DC-bias baseline concentration for onset in electrochemical doping, but all potentials considered demonstrate a critical frequency at which the polaronic motion is “frozen” (~40 Hz). Furthermore, this critical information obtained from CIS in highly dielectric environments offers a unique figure of merit for future studies on electronic–ionic coupling by which to compare across polymer/electrolyte interfaces, including the role of a charge-supporting electrolyte, a solvent, and alternative Faradaic processes (e.g., electrocatalysis).

Coordination environment tuning of nickel sites by oxyanions to optimize methanol electro-oxidation activity

To achieve zero-carbon economy, advanced anode catalysts are desirable for hydrogen production and biomass upgrading powered by renewable energy. Ni-based non-precious electrocatalysts are considered as potential candidates because of intrinsic redox attributes, but in-depth understanding and rational design of Ni site coordination still remain challenging. Here, we perform anodic electrochemical oxidation of Ni-metalloids (NiP x , NiS x , and NiSe x ) to in-situ construct different oxyanion-coordinated amorphous nickel oxyhydroxides (NiOOH-TO x ), among which NiOOH-PO x shows optimal local coordination environment and boosts electrocatalytic activity of Ni sites towards selective oxidation of methanol to formate. Experiments and theoretical results demonstrate that NiOOH-PO x possesses improved adsorption of OH* and methanol, and favors the formation of CH 3 O* intermediates. The coordinated phosphate oxyanions effectively tailor the d band center of Ni sites and increases Ni-O covalency, promoting the catalytic activity. This study provides additional insights into modulation of active-center coordination environment via oxyanions for organic molecules transformation.

Selective reduction in epitaxial SrFe 0.5 Co 0.5 O 2.5 and its reversibility

Oxygen-vacancy engineering in transition metal oxides enables programmable functionalities by modulating the valence states and local coordination of constituents. Here, we report the selective reduction of cobalt ions in epitaxial SrFe 0.5 Co 0.5 O 2.5 thin films under reducing gas environments, while iron ions remain unchanged. X-ray absorption spectroscopy reveals an absorption edge shift of 1.65 eV in the Co L-edge upon reduction, and multiplet simulations estimate a decrease in the average Co valence from Co 2.91+ to Co 2.00+ . This site- and element-specific reduction leads to the formation of a structurally distinct oxygen-deficient phase stabilized by oxygen vacancies at tetrahedral sites, as confirmed by density functional theory. Optical spectroscopy reveals an increase in the bandgap from 2.47 eV to 3.04 eV, accompanied by enhanced transparency. Furthermore, simultaneous in situ diffraction and transport measurements confirm fully reversible redox-driven transitions among three phases: reduced defective perovskite, brownmillerite, and oxygen-rich perovskite phases. These findings demonstrate that selective redox control in multi-cation oxides enables the realization of chemically and functionally distinct oxygen-deficient phases.
