A 3D N-doped ordered honeycomb nanostructure with Pt active sites (Pt/N-OHC), precisely controlled by the self-assembly of a block copolymer, provides four-electron (4-e) transfer pathway and improved activity for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR).
Abstract Developing excellent electrocatalysts to replace noble metal catalysts and improve hydrogen production via water splitting is a daunting task. Bimetallic transition phosphides (TMPs) display improved performance than monometallic due their synergistic effects. Moreover, research has proven that supporting them on conductive substrates can further enhance electrochemical performance. Recently, metal‐organic frameworks (MOFs) are incorporated into bimetallic TMPs for enhanced This...
In a proton exchange membrane water electrolyzer, directly reducing the Ir loading in anode always leads to decline performance. The limited in-plane electrical conductivity of inhomogeneous catalyst layer is one reasons that constrain improvement cell Herein, enhance activity low anode, continuous gold films with different thicknesses are coated on conventional IrO2 form bilayer anodes. film acts as bridge for connecting isolated agglomerates, thus endowing an improved and mass activity. A...
In this work, well-ordered platinum (Pt) nanocubes (NCs), with precise control on the size and spatial arrangement, are synthesized from a microemulsion overgrowth in block copolymer (BC) nanotemplate. The nanovials self-assembled BC template serve as microreactors for reduction of HCl/H2PtCl6 precursor direct ordered periodic arrangement reduced Pt nanoparticles (NPs). As content HCl increases 0% to 25%, NPs evolve quasi-spheres NCs, which density functional theory (DFT) computation reveals...
Block-copolymer-derived ordered mesoporous carbon (OMC) materials have great potential in many applications, such as adsorption, catalysis, and energy conversions; however, their formation process the kinetic mechanism remain unclear. Herein, a N-doped OMC (N-OMC) with sp2-bonded C atoms is developed via self-assembly of polystyrene-block-poly(4-vinyl pyridine) block copolymer. By correlating external morphologies internal chemical states, can be concluded follows: (1) pore evolution...
