Electrochemical reduction of CO2 to high-value hydrocarbons and oxygenates is an attractive technique store intermittent renewable energy. Diverse catalysts are capable catalyzing the CO conversion, while further occurs almost exclusively on Cu. Monocomponent Cu suffer from high overpotential low Faradaic efficiency oxygenates. Combining conversion Au, Ag, single-atom catalysts, etc., with a promising strategy achieve selectivity formation rate highly reduced products. Numerous tandem have...

Abstract Metal–N–C single‐atom catalysts, mostly prepared from pyrolysis of metal‐organic precursors, are widely used in heterogeneous electrocatalysis. Since metal sites with diverse local structures coexist this type material and it is challenging to characterize the structure, a reliable structure–property relationship difficult establish. Conjugated macrocyclic complexes adsorbed on carbon support well‐defined models mimic catalysts. Metal–N 4 site four electroneutral pyridine‐type...

Abstract Highly dispersed Pt, such as Pt single atoms and atomic clusters, has great potential in the electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) due to high efficiency unique electronic configuration. Rationally regrating structure of catalysts is desirable for promoting HER performance. Herein, a 3D self‐supported monolithic electrode consisting (Pt SAs ) clusters ACs anchored on sulfur‐doped titanium nitride nanotubes (S‐TiN NTs) encapsulated polyaniline (PANI) Ti mesh...

Layered cobalt hydroxides are cost-efficient electrocatalysts for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in the field of energy conversion. Herein, we developed a facile synthesis method 3d transition-metal-doped α-Co(OH)2 nanomaterials mediated with ammonia water-methanol at room temperature. The doping Cu2+ and Ni2+ leads to flower-like nanostructures similar pure α-Co(OH)2, whereas Fe2+ produces nanoparticles more than 2 times larger surface area comparison Cu2+- Ni2+-doped nanoflowers. obtained...

In this paper, an ingenious strategy was developed to construct a well-aligned nitrogen-doped carbon nanotube (NCNT) array electrode integrated with multiple electrocatalytically active components of single cobalt atoms CoN4 configuration (CoSAs), nanodots (Co), and molybdenum- or tungsten-carbide (WC MoC) for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). The nitrogen doped is fabricated via in situ NCNT growth process using MO4 unit-exchanged lamellar hydroxide–nitrate MO4–CoLHN (M = Mo W) as both...

Molybdenum phosphide (MoP) is regarded as one of the most promising alternatives to noble-metal based electrocatalysts for efficient hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) due its similar d-band electronic structure noble metals and tunable features associated with phase composition. However, it still remains a great challenge construct MoP abundant active sites that possess ideal H binding strength promote catalytic performance.
