高分散超薄二硫化钼/硫、氮共掺碳复合材料的电催化析氢性能

氢气是一种清洁可再生能源,有望在未来替代化石燃料成为最主要的能源物质.电催化析氢技术是最有效的产氢途径之一.目前,电催化析氢催化剂主要是贵金属铂,由于其昂贵的价格限制了它的大规模应用.所以在不减少催化剂活性的前提下尽量减少贵金属的使用或者寻找替代物质,降低成本是工业化大规模使用析氢反应(HER)催化剂的前提.二硫化钼基催化剂因其价格低廉、资源丰富且具有优异的催化析氢性能而引起研究者的广泛关注.实验和理论研究都证明了二硫化钼的催化性能和其催化活性位点有关.所以,开发一种具有丰富的活性位点、良好的导电性的二硫化钼基催化剂可以获得高的产氢性能和良好的稳定性.因此,对于提高MoS2的电催化析氢性能的研究主要集中于增加MoS2暴露活性位点的个数和导电性.然而,二硫化钼层与层之间的相互作用可能导致其发生聚集,较低的导电率都有可能降低它的电催化活性.我们通过水热的方法直接制备出了固体的硫、氮共掺杂的、具有石墨化结构的碳复合材料(SNC).将钼酸钠加入到反应中后,多钼酸盐通过化学交互作用均匀地嵌入、分散到SNC中.经高温处理后,SNC放出S2-,多钼酸盐结合S2-生成二硫化钼.SNC有效地防止了二硫化钼聚集成大的颗粒.我们成功地制备出具有较好析氢性能的、高度分散于SNC中的二硫化钼纳米片.通过透射电子显微镜(TEM)、扫描电子显微镜(SEM)、X射线衍射(XRD)、拉曼光谱(Raman)、元素分析、X射线光电子能谱(XPS)等测试手段对材料进行了表征,通过电催化析氢、电化学阻抗以及稳定性测试等手段研究了其电催化性能.由MoS2/SNC-900-12h的TEM图片可以看出,二硫化钼纳米片高度分散于碳复合材料中,且层数只有一到几层,暴露出了更多的催化活性位点.拉曼光谱图的D带(1341 cm-1)和G带(1584 cm-1)体现出了材料具有较好的石墨化结构,提高了材料的导电性.XPS C 1s谱图中存在C–S和C–N键,S 2p谱图中存在C–S–C、C=S和C–SOx–C键,N 1s谱图中存在吡啶氮和石墨氮,结合元素分析,说明该碳材料确为硫氮共掺杂的碳;Mo谱测试显示出Mo 3d5/2(229.4 eV)和Mo 3d3/2(232.6 eV),证明了二硫化钼成功地嵌入到了碳材料中.电化学性能表征显示MoS2/SNC-900-12h在H2SO4溶液(0.5 mol/L)中展现出较低的起始电位(115 mV)以及低的过电位(237 mV).电化学阻抗测试显示在H2SO4溶液(0.5 mol/L)中过电位为?0.2 V(vs.RHE)时Rct只有124Ω.此外,在?0.3–0 V(vs.RHE)下,经5000圈稳定性测试后性能只有约2.6%(10 mA/cm2)的衰减,说明MoS2/SNC-900-12h同样具有优异的电化学稳定性.     

La掺杂的TiO2纳米棒在常温常压下可促进电催化的N2转化为NH3

氨在化肥、染料、药品和炸药的制造中起着重要作用.目前,传统的Haber-Bosch工艺主要用于NH3的大规模工业化生产,在苛刻的反应条件(300～500℃,150～300 atm)下不可避免地伴随着温室气体的过量排放.因此,必须寻求一种绿色并且可持续的方法来生产NH3.电化学还原N2 (NRR)已成为在环境条件下将N2连续固定NH3的一种有吸引力的替代方法.由于稳定的N-N具有较强的偶极矩并与析氢反应存在激烈竞争,因此需要高效的NRR催化剂.TiO2是典型的n型半导体,被认为是一种很有前途的NRR电催化剂.最近的研究表明,La2O3对N2还原电催化也具有活性,然而镧金属的稀土性质限制了其大规模应用.本文研究发现镧可以作为一种有效的掺杂剂提高TiO2的NRR活性.通过水热法制备了镧掺杂的TiO2纳米棒(La-TiO2).透射电子显微镜结果表明,原始TiO2与La-TiO2在形貌上都是纳米棒,镧的引入对其形貌并没有显著影响.选区电子衍射证实了La-TiO2纳米棒的高结晶度和四边形单晶结构.电子自旋共振分析结果表明La-TiO2纳米棒中存在氧空位.La-TiO2的线性扫描伏安曲线结果表明,在N2饱和电解液中的电流密度明显大于在Ar饱和电解液中,说明NRR的发生.为了进一步证实这一假设,在五个不同电位下分别进行了一系列的计时电流测试,结果表明,连续电解2h后在-0.70 V时,NH3产率最高,达23.06 μg h-1 mgcat-1,并且法拉第效率也最大,达14.54％.此外,电解2h后,没有检测到副产物N2H4,表明La-TiO2催化剂对NH3合成具有良好的选择性.本文还比较了La-TiO2/CP,TiO2/CP和CP的NRR电催化性能,结果表明,La-TiO2/CP的NH3产率最高,说明La的引入提高了La-TiO2的NRR活性.La-TiO2/CP通过在-0.70 V下连续6次循环测试以及连续48 h电解测试证实La-TiO2对NRR电催化具有良好的电化学稳定性.通过对La-Ov构型进行密度泛函理论计算,重点研究*N2+H++e-→*NNH的反应步骤,由于*N2加氢的自由能垒较低,La-TiO2更容易激活N2分子,计算了La-TiO2和纯TiO2上*NNH中间体的电荷密度差异,*NNH与La-TiO2之间存在更多的电荷转移.采用N-N键的积分晶体轨道哈密顿布居(ICOHP)分析出La-TiO2的ICOHP负值较小(-16.67 vs.-19.93),说明N-N键的活化更多.     

Enhanced electrocatalytic activity for H2O2 production by the oxygen reduction reaction: Rational control of the structure and composition of multi-walled carbon nanotubes

Hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) is a very useful chemical reagent, but the current industrial methods for its production suffer from serious energy consumption problems. Using high-activity and high-selectivity catalysts to electrocatalyze the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) through a two-electron (2e^?) pathway is a very promising route to produce H₂O₂. In this work, we obtained partially oxidized multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) with controlled structure and composition by oxidation with concentrated sulfate and potassium permanganate at 40°C for 1 h (O-CNTs-40-1). The outer layers of O-CNTs-40-1 are damaged with defects and oxygen-containing functional groups, while the inner layers are maintained intact. The optimized structure and composition of the partially oxidized MWCNTs ensure that O-CNTs-40-1 possesses both a sufficient number of catalytic sites and good conductivity. The results of rotating ring disk electrode measurements reveal that, among all oxidized MWCNTs, O-CNTs-40-1 shows the greatest improvement in hydrogen peroxide selectivity (from ～ 30% to ～ 50%) and electron transfer number (from ～ 3.4 to ～ 3.0) compared to those of the raw MWCNTs. The results of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy measurements indicate that both the charge-transfer and intrinsic resistances of O-CNTs-40-1 are lower than those of the raw MWCNTs and of the other oxidized MWCNTs. Finally, direct tests of the H₂O₂ production confirm the greatly improved catalytic activity of O-CNTs-40-1 relative to that of the raw MWCNTs.     

Enhancement of the electrocatalytic O2 reduction on Pt–Fe alloys

The design of high performance cathode electrocatalysts is essential for polymer–electrolyte fuel cells, which are now attracting enormous interest as a primary power source for zero-emission electric vehicles. We have discovered a significant enhancement of electrocatalytic activity of Pt by alloying with Fe, and found a maximum activity at ca. 50% Fe content, which results in 25 times higher activity than pure Pt activity. It was confirmed experimentally at Pt–Fe bulk alloys that the alloy catalyst surface consists of a pure Pt skin-layer (<1 nm in thickness) that is modified in the electronic structure by that of the bulk alloy. The enhancement could be well explained by the 5d-vacancy of the surface, but not by Pt interatomic distance or roughening of the surfaces.

Ionic-liquid-mediated active-site control of MoS2 for the electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction

The layered crystal MoS(2) has been proposed as an alternative to noble metals as the electrocatalyst for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). However, the activity of this catalyst is limited by the number of available edge sites. It was previously shown that, by using an imidazolium ionic liquid as synthesis medium, nanometre-size crystal layers of MoS(2) can be prepared which exhibit a very high number of active edge sites as well as a de-layered morphology, both of which contribute to HER electrocatalytic activity. Herein, it is examined how to control these features synthetically by using a range of ionic liquids as synthesis media. Non-coordinating ILs with a planar heterocyclic cation produced MoS(2) with the de-layered morphology, which was subsequently shown to be highly advantageous for HER electrocatalytic activity. The results furthermore suggest that the crystallinity, and in turn the catalytic activity, of the MoS(2) layers can be improved by employing an IL with specific solvation properties. These results provide the basis for a synthetic strategy for increasing the HER electrocatalytic activity of MoS(2) by tuning its crystal properties, and thus improving its potential for use in hydrogen production technologies.

Fe/N/C氧还原催化剂的热稳定性及活性位结构

研制高活性的Fe/N/C氧还原催化剂对于降低燃料电池成本、实现商业化应用有重要意义. 为了实现Fe/N/C催化剂的理性设计,需要深入研究其活性位结构. 本文我们发展一种研究活性位结构的新策略,即以预先合成好的聚间苯二胺基Fe/N/C催化剂(PmPDA-FeNx/C)为起始物,对其在1000~1500 ^oC高温下再次进行热处理并使其失活,通过关联催化剂热处理前后的结构变化与氧还原催化性能来揭示活性位结构. 实验结果表明,随着热处理温度升高,活性中心结构被破坏,铁原子析出团聚并形成纳米颗粒,氮元素挥发损失,导致催化剂失活. XPS分析显示,低结合能含氮物种的含量与催化剂的ORR活性呈良好的正相关性,表明活性中心很可能是由吡啶N和Fe-N物种构成的.     

Electrocatalytic activity of starch/Fe3O4/zeolite bionanocomposite for oxygen reduction reaction

The present work demonstrated an eco-friendly and facile method for the preparation of starch/Fe₃O₄/zeolite-bionanocomposite (BNC) at moderate temperature. Zeolite and starch were used as solid support and stabilizer, respectively. The analysis of UV–vis showed the appearance of surface plasmon resonance. From PXRD analysis, the incorporation of magnetite nanoparticles (NPs) in zeolite substrate results in reducing of intensities and broadening of the zeolite peaks of BNC. The TEM analysis showed the formation of highly distributed Fe₃O₄-NPs with an average diameter and standard deviation of 9.24 ± 3.57 nm. The FESEM and EDX analyses imply that Fe₃O₄-NPs were homogeneously formed on the surface of the zeolite substrate. VSM analysis illustrated the as prepared BNC possessed magnetic behaviour with a saturation magnetization and coercivity of 1.84 emu g⁻¹ and 17.76 G, respectively. The prepared BNC showed potential applicability in energy as low-cost electrode material. The BNC was used as a non-precious catalyst for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in the alkaline medium. The presence of starch and zeolite promoted long term stability up to 1000 cycles and avoid the dissolution and agglomeration of iron oxide. The ORR commences at the onset potential of 0 V follows by the two successive reduction peaks at −0.48 V and −1.00 V.

基于电催化还原化学发光法检测异烟肼的高灵敏方法

实验发现,异烟肼在汞膜修饰石墨电极表面被还原后即被溶液中的溶解氧所氧化,重新回到初始状态;而溶解氧被还原生成活性氧自由基,其与鲁米诺之间的弱化学发光信号强烈地受异烟肼的增敏,由此建立了一种新的高灵敏的测定异烟肼的电化学发光分析新方法.结果表明,在最佳的实验条件下,相对电化学发光强度与异烟肼的浓度在 2.0×10-9～2.0×10-6 g/mL范围内呈线性关系,检出限为 6.7×10-10 g/mL,相关系数为 0.9996.此方法已成功用于片剂异烟肼的测定.     

Boron-iron nanochains for selective electrocatalytic reduction of nitrate

The electrocatalysis of nitrate reduction reaction(NRR) has been considered to be a promising nitrate removal technology.Developing a highly effective iron-based electrocatalyst is an essential challenge for NRR.Herein,boron-iron nanochains(B-Fe NCs) as efficient NRR catalysts were prepared via a facile lowcost and scalable method.The Fe/B ratio of the B-Fe NCs-x can be elaborately adjusted to optimize the NRR catalytic performance.Due to the electron transfer from boron to metal,the metal-metal bonds are weakened and the electron density near the metal atom centers are rearranged,which are favor of the conversion from NO_3~-into N_2.Moreover,the well-crosslinked chain-like architectures benefit the mass/electron transport to boost the exposure of abundant catalytic active sites.Laboratory experiments demonstrated that the optimized B-Fe NCs catalyst exhibits superior intrinsic electrocatalytic NRR activity of high nitrate conversion(～80%),ultrahigh nitrogen selectivity(～99%) and excellent long-term reactivity in the mixed electrolyte system(0.02 mol/L NaCl and 0.02 mol/L Na_2 SO_4 mixed electrolyte),and the electrocatalytic activity of the material shows poor performance at low chloride ion concentration(Nitrate conversion of ～61 % and nitrogen selectivity of ～57% in 0.005 mol/L NaCl and 0.035 mol/L Na_2 SO_4 mixed electrolyte).This study provides a broad application prospect for further exploring the highefficiency and low-cost iron-based functional nanostructures for electrocatalytic nitrate reduction.     

Analysis of hydrogen peroxide and an organic hydroperoxide via the electrocatalytic Fenton reaction

A new concept for the electrochemical detection of hydrogen peroxide, and organic hydroperoxides is presented. One advantage of the significance of this technique is that it does not require chemical modification of the electrode or addition of enzymes. Direct electro-reduction of the peroxides was not observed on the carbon disk electrode as it is a kinetically slow process. Redox cycling of the iron complex is apparent as Fe^IIEDTA rapidly reduces the O-O bond of the peroxides (Fenton Reaction) upon its production by the kinetically facile electro-reduction of Fe^IIIEDTA. This provides an enhanced and steady-state reductive current as observed by cyclic voltammetry. These features are indicative of the electrocatalytic (EC′) mechanism. A calibration curve was constructed based on the chronoamperometric response at 32 s and a detection limit for H₂O₂ and t-butyl hydroperoxide was calculated to be 0.4 μM and 20 µM, respectively. This difference is attributable to the rate in which the iron(II) complex reduces the O-O bond, H₂O₂ (2.3 × 10⁵ M^− 1 s^− 1) being faster than for the organic peroxide (5.1 × 10⁴ M^− 1 s^− 1). The Fe^IIEDTA complex was observed to be unreactive toward dialkyl peroxides. This method may find use in the detection of peroxide-based explosives or in enzymatic assays as it is rapid, simple, inexpensive and should prove to be robust.     

ENDOR/HYSCORE studies of the common intermediate trapped during nitrogenase reduction of N2H2, CH3N2H, and N2H4 support an alternating reaction pathway for N2 reduction

Enzymatic N(2) reduction proceeds along a reaction pathway composed of a sequence of intermediate states generated as a dinitrogen bound to the active-site iron-molybdenum cofactor (FeMo-co) of the nitrogenase MoFe protein undergoes six steps of hydrogenation (e(-)/H(+) delivery). There are two competing proposals for the reaction pathway, and they invoke different intermediates. In the 'Distal' (D) pathway, a single N of N(2) is hydrogenated in three steps until the first NH(3) is liberated, and then the remaining nitrido-N is hydrogenated three more times to yield the second NH(3). In the 'Alternating' (A) pathway, the two N's instead are hydrogenated alternately, with a hydrazine-bound intermediate formed after four steps of hydrogenation and the first NH(3) liberated only during the fifth step. A recent combination of X/Q-band EPR and (15)N, (1,2)H ENDOR measurements suggested that states trapped during turnover of the α-70(Ala)/α-195(Gln) MoFe protein with diazene or hydrazine as substrate correspond to a common intermediate (here denoted I) in which FeMo-co binds a substrate-derived [N(x)H(y)] moiety, and measurements reported here show that turnover with methyldiazene generates the same intermediate. In the present report we describe X/Q-band EPR and (14/15)N, (1,2)H ENDOR/HYSCORE/ESEEM measurements that characterize the N-atom(s) and proton(s) associated with this moiety. The experiments establish that turnover with N(2)H(2), CH(3)N(2)H, and N(2)H(4) in fact generates a common intermediate, I, and show that the N-N bond of substrate has been cleaved in I. Analysis of this finding leads us to conclude that nitrogenase reduces N(2)H(2), CH(3)N(2)H, and N(2)H(4) via a common A reaction pathway, and that the same is true for N(2) itself, with Fe ion(s) providing the site of reaction.     

Electrochemical synthesis of Fe3O4-PB nanoparticles with core-shell structure and its electrocatalytic reduction toward H2O2

The Fe₃O₄-Prussian blue (PB) nanoparticles with core-shell structure have been in situ prepared directly on a nano-Fe₃O₄-modified glassy carbon electrode by cyclic voltammetry (CV). First, the magnetic nano-Fe₃O₄ particles were synthesized and characterized by X-ray diffraction. Then, the properties of the Fe₃O₄-PB nanoparticles were characterized by CV, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and superconducting quantum interference device. The resulting core-shell Fe₃O₄-PB-modified electrode displays a dramatic electrocatalytic ability toward H₂O₂ reduction, and the catalytic current was a linear function with the concentration of H₂O₂ in the range of 1 × 10⁻⁷~5 × 10⁻⁴ mol/l. A detection limit of 2 × 10⁻⁸ (s/n = 3) was determined. Moreover, it showed good reproducibility, enhanced long-term stability, and potential applications in fields of magnetite biosensors.

以CaCl2为模板合成的高活性和高稳定性铁、氮、硫共掺杂多子孔碳氧还原电催化剂

燃料电池是一种可将化学能通过电催化反应直接转化成电能的装置,具有能量密度高和清洁无污染等优点.燃料电池阴极氧还原反应(ORR)的动力学较迟缓,是电池能量效率损失的主要原因.目前ORR催化活性最高的是铂基催化剂,但由于贵金属铂价格昂贵,储量稀少,且对燃料小分子渗透的抗性较差,严重制约了燃料电池的大规模应用.因此,高性能、低成本的非贵金属催化剂成为燃料电池领域的研究热点.本文选用含氮量高达45％的三聚氰胺-甲醛树脂为碳源和氮源,Fe(SCN)3为铁源和硫源,以CaCl2为模板,在高温和铁的催化作用下将树脂碳化,经酸洗和二次热处理工艺,制备出铁、氮、硫共掺杂的多孔碳(FeNS-PC).干燥后的CaCl2颗粒可防止树脂在高温下交联形成块状碳颗粒,同时起到造孔模板的作用.CaCl2颗粒在温和条件下即可除去,无需强腐蚀性条件,因此不会对催化活性中心造成破坏.在Fe/N/C催化剂中掺杂S可进一步提高催化活性,不添加碳载体可避免低活性的碳载体降低质量活性,多孔结构可促进传质,充分利用活性位点.我们优化了热处理温度,并对催化剂的结构、组分及催化性能等进行了表征分析.结果表明,热处理温度为900℃时,可将树脂完全转化成多孔碳,并获得较高的杂原子掺杂量,可达到最优活性.CaCl2为模板剂可避免使用强腐蚀性试剂去除模板,有利于保留活性位,并得到多孔结构.FeNS-PC-900的比表面积可达775 m2/g.得益于原位掺杂的合成工艺,各掺杂元素在多孔碳表面均匀分布.在酸性介质中,FeNS-PC-900的半波电位可达到0.811V,仅比商业Pt/C催化剂低78 mV;在0.8V电位下的质量活性为10.2 A/g,表现出优异的催化活性.经过10000圈加速衰减测试后,其半波电位仅下降了20 mV,在0.75V电位下持续放电10000s后,其ORR电流仍保持初始电流的84.4％,具有比Pt/C更加优异的稳定性.以FeNS-PC-900为阴极催化剂的质子交换膜燃料电池的最大功率密度可达到0.49 W/cm2,并在0.6V电压下持续放电10h后,其电流仍可保持初始电流的65％,表现出良好的应用潜力.FeNS-PC-900具有高掺杂含量、高比表面积和多孔结构,并且杂原子在催化剂表面均匀分散,在半电池和燃料电池测试中都表现出优异的催化活性和稳定性,表明其是一种非常有潜力应用于燃料电池的非贵金属氧还原催化剂.     

Ferricyanide immobilized within organically modified MCM-41; application for electrocatalytic reduction of hydrogen peroxide

Carbon paste electrode modified with aminated Mobil Catalytic Material Number 41 (MCM-41) was prepared and used for immobilization of K₃[Fe(CN)₆] in acidic medium, and then electrochemical behavior of modified electrode containing ferricyanide was studied in detail, including pH-dependence and scan rate effect. Cyclic voltammetry studies showed that the electrode reaction is a surface-controlled process at the scan rate range from 5 to 60 mV s⁻¹. Also, the electrocatalytic behavior of modified electrode toward the reduction of H₂O₂ is reported and the effect of pH on catalytic peak current was discussed. According to experimental results, with increasing solution pH, the catalytic effect of this modified electrode is decreased. Catalytic reduction current of H₂O₂ increases linearly with its concentration. It has been demonstrated that ferricyanide immobilized on the aminated MCM-41 is a stable catalyst for the electrocatalytic reduction of H₂O₂.
