While catalysis is highly dependent on the electronic structure of catalyst, understanding catalytic performance affected by electron spin regulation remains challenging and rare. Herein, we have developed a facile strategy to manipulation cobalt state over covalent organic frameworks (COFs), COF-367-Co, simply changing oxidation Co centered in porphyrin. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations together with experimental results confirm that CoII CoIII are embedded COF-367 S = 1/2 0...

Heterogeneous catalysis often involves molecular adsorptions to charged catalyst site and reactions triggered by charges. Here we use first-principles simulations design oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) based on double transition metal (TM) atoms stably supported 2D crystal C2N. It not only holds characters of low cost high durability but also effectively accumulates surface polarization charges TMs later deliveries adsorbed O2 molecule.

The electrocatalytic activity of transition-metal-based compounds is strongly related to the spin states. However, underlying relationship connecting catalytic remains unclear. Herein, we carried out density functional theory calculations on oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) catalyzed by Fe single-atom supported C2N (C2N–Fe) shed light this relationship. It found that change electronic moments and O2 due molecular-catalyst adsorption scales with amount electron transfer from O2, which promotes...

The electrocatalytic activity of transition-metal (TM)-based catalysts is correlated with the spin states metal atoms. However, developing a way to manipulate remains great challenge. Using first-principles calculations, we first report crucial role exposed Mo atoms around an S-vacancy in dinitrogen reduction reaction on defective MoS2 nanosheets and propose novel strategy for regulating electronic moments by tuning single-atom promoter (SAP). Single TM adsorbed basal plane serve as SAPs via...

Dual-metal-site catalysts (DMSCs) have emerged as a frontier in heterogeneous catalysis, while the underlying relationships connecting their dual-site synergistic effects on catalytic performance remain unclear. Here we present comprehensive first-principles study of O2 activation and CO oxidation series N-coordinated DMSCs. We discovered that N3-coordinated-adjacent dual-metal model has stronger dynamic effects, leading to much higher activity than others investigated. Based this model,...

The remarkable chemical activity of metal single-atom catalysts (SACs) lies in their unique electronic states associated with the low-coordination nature sites. Yet, state manipulation normally requires direct contact other atoms, which inevitably changes environment. Herein, we found by first-principle calculations that a Co SAC for HCOOH dehydrogenation is appreciably enhanced via noncontact single atom promoter.
