The Sabatier Principle in Electrocatalysis: Basics, Limitations, and Extensions

Frontiers in Energy Research, 2021
The Sabatier principle, which states that the binding energy between the catalyst and the reactant should be neither too strong nor too weak, has been widely used as the key criterion in designing and screening electrocatalytic materials necessary to ...

f‐p‐d Gradient Orbital Coupling Induced Spin State Enhancement of Atomic Fe Sites for Efficient and Stable Oxygen Reduction Reaction

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The f‐p‐d (Eu─O─Fe) gradient orbital coupling induces electron delocalization and the introduced f‐band of Eu shifts the spin state of the Fe center in FePc from low‐spin to intermediate‐spin. This strategy simultaneously enhances oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) activity, reaction kinetics, and stability, resulting in superior ORR performance and ...

Oxygen Defect Engineering of Hexagonal Perovskite Oxides to Boost Catalytic Performance for Aerobic Oxidation of Sulfides to Sulfones

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Ru‐substituted hexagonal perovskite SrMnO3, featuring face‐shared oxygen species, is designed as an effective heterogeneous catalyst for the aerobic oxidation of sulfides. The catalyst demonstrates high selectivity to sulfones (>99%) under mild reaction conditions (≥30 °C). Ru substitution promotes oxygen vacancy formation of face‐shared oxygen species

Gd‐Induced Oxygen Vacancy Creation Activates Lattice Oxygen Oxidation for Water Electrolysis

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
DFT calculations shows that Gd incorporation into Fe‐doped NiO raises the O 2p band center, lowers oxygen vacancy formation energy, and thus promotes the LOM mechanism for OER. Gd and Fe co‐doped NiO nanosheets synthesized via spray combustion exhibits a low overpotential of 227 mV and maintains stable AEMWE performance for over 120 h, demonstrating ...
