High-performance thermogalvanic cells have the potential to convert thermal energy into electricity, but their effectiveness is limited by low concentration difference of redox ions. We report an in situ photocatalytically enhanced reaction that generates hydrogen and oxygen realize a continuous gradient ions devices. A linear relation between thermopower production rate was established as essential design principle for The system exhibited 8.2 millivolts per kelvin solar-to-hydrogen...
An optimized approach to producing lattice-matched heterointerfaces for electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution has not yet been reported. Herein, we present the synthesis of Mo2 C-Mo2 N heterostructures using a gradient heating epitaxial growth method. The well heterointerface generates near-zero hydrogen-adsorption free energy and facilitates water dissociation in acid alkaline media. have low overpotentials 73 mV 80 at 10 mA cm-2 solutions, respectively, comparable commercial Pt/C. A novel...
First-row transition metal embedded pyrazine-based graphynes (TM-pyGYs), especially Mn/Fe/Co/Ni-pyGYs are promising single atom catalysts for the CO 2 reduction reaction.
Single-atom catalysts (SACs) have improved the performance of NO electroreduction to NH3 (NORR) a high level. However, influence low-nuclearity clusters, which exist in SACs as well, on catalytic is always overlooked. Herein, via density functional theory, we not only designed 9 single TMs, namely, Sc, Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, and Cu, anchored three Ti3C2O2-based models (Ti3C2O2-V0, Ti3C2O2-O1, Ti3C2O2-Ti1) for NORR but also further evaluated impact clusters optimal SAC. Our results...
Stimulus-responsive adsorbent materials exhibit tunable CO<sub>2</sub> capture and separation performance in response to pressure, temperature, light, electric field, magnetic guest molecules, pH, redox.
Transition metals (TMs) have been widely employed to realize various electrocatalytic applications of pristine materials. Herein, via density functional theory (DFT), the potential for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) all single TMs embedded in Ti2N was screened. Our results show that can tune adsorption with a volcano-like tendency, and Mo-Ti2N stands out an optimal Gibbs free energy (ΔGH) −0.097 eV. This be further improved ΔGH close thermal neutrality by applying 1.2% tensile strain...
Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) have become potential candidates for gas purification technology, especially in carbon capture and storage applications. By utilizing strategies such as pore structure design functional modification, COFs been developed to exhibit high selectivity superior adsorption capacity the effective separation of CO2 from industrial waste gases. Notably, alkali metals strong interactions with backbone COFs, which can enhance CO2/N2 performance these porous materials....
Porous boron nitride (BN) membranes PBN-BH, PBN-BNH, and PBN-NH were designed as promising for purifying He from natural gas by using density functional theory. The three BN precisely regulated to form suitable pore sizes with high stability separation. PBN-BH membrane exhibited ultrahigh selectivities of over Ne, Ar, N2, CO2, CH4, which approximately 106–1066 times larger than those the two other structures. Among membranes, highest selectivity CH4 5 × 1079 at 300 K, far better previously...
