Insights Into CO2 Loss, pH Effects, and Tafel Kinetics in Ni Single Atom‐Driven Bicarbonate Electroreduction

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Selective CO formation in bicarbonate electrolysis is achieved by retaining reactive CO2 and tuning pH, while the competing hydrogen evolution reaction occurs at the interface. The rate‐determining step couples the chemical equilibrium of bicarbonate/CO2 with electrochemical charge transfer, offering insight into optimizing reaction conditions for ...

Interfacial Water Coordination on Ruthenium Oxide Nanoparticles Confined Within Covalent Organic Framework and Its Effect on Electrochemical Nitrate Reduction

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
We demonstrate how oxygen‐deficient ruthenium oxide (RuOx) nanoparticles confined within covalent organic framework achieve highly efficient nitrate‐to‐ammonia conversion. Strong interaction between RuOx nanoparticles and COF results in modified interfacial hydrogen‐bond water network and adsorption of nitrogenous intermediates.

Reconstruction of Ultrafine MnS‐Induced Vacancy‐Rich Co9S6.29 Precatalysts in Mesoporous S‐Doped N‐Rich Hollow Carbon Nanotubes Enables Dynamic O‐Vacancy Cycling for High‐Performance Zn‐Air Batteries

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
We develop vacancy‐rich Co9S6.29 precatalysts formed via ultrafine MnS‐induced lattice distortion in mesoporous S‐doped N‐rich hollow carbon nanotubes (CM@SNHCTs). This CM@SNHCT precatalyst is reconstructed into catalytically‐active cathode phases that enable efficient oxygen reduction/evolution reactions (ORR/OER) through dynamic O‐vacancy formation ...
