High-performance Fe–N–C electrocatalysts with a “chain mail” protective shield

Nano Materials Science, 2021
Nitrogen-coordinated iron atoms on carbon supports (Fe–N–C) are among the most promising noble-metal-free electrocatalysts for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). However, their unsatisfactory stability limits their practical application.

Enhancing Bubble Removal in Geometry‐Optimized Electrodes

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
3D‐printed lattice electrodes outperform stochastic foams in alkaline water electrolysis despite 20%–25% lower surface area. Straight flow channels generate Venturi‐like bubble entrainment, suppressing gas accumulation that renders foam interiors electrochemically inactive.

Polarizable Vanadium Dipoles Promote Water Dissociation on Vanadium‐Based Metal Organic Framework

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The polarization of unpaired V 3d electrons weakens the H─O bond to improve water dissociation by the dual Vδ+:O─H and Pλ−:H─O coupling hydrogen bonds formation and relaxation. P@V‐MOF electrocatalyst shows low overpotentials (94 mV in acid, 178 mV in neutral, and 77 mV in alkaline solutions) with excellent stability for effective overall water ...

Investigation of multiple commercial electrocatalysts and electrocatalyst degradation for fuel cells in real vehicles

RSC Advances, 2022
The coalescence of Pt nanoparticles during operation in a real vehicle is considered to be the main reason to weaken the ORR. The trajectories of oriented attachment were disclosed by observing the coalescence events of Pt NPs using in situ TEM.

Toward Fast Proton Shuttling in Acidic Oxygen Evolution Reaction

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This review establishes proton transfer dynamics as a descriptor governing acidic OER activity, moving beyond the kinetic constraints derived from the proton coupled electron transfer. We discuss how deprotonation governs classical mechanisms, including adsorbate evolution mechanism (AEM), lattice oxygen mechanism (LOM) and oxide path mechanism (OPM ...
