具有高效析氧催化性能的铁基双元金属有机框架纳米棒研究（英文）

析氧反应(OER)是电解水制氢的关键步骤,开发高效、稳定、廉价的OER电催化剂是目前该领域的研究热点.碱性电解液中的OER电催化剂成分以Mn、Fe、Co、Ni等为主,其中单一组分的Fe基化合物催化活性不高,但碱性电解液中的痕量铁杂质极易掺入Ni、Co等非Fe基材料的结构中,极大影响其OER催化性能,即现有大部分非Fe基化合物无法回避Fe的影响.为探究Fe基多金属电催化剂的活性规律,本文以结构清晰、组分可控的Fe基金属有机框架材料为基底,通过掺入Mn、Co、Ni等元素构建双元金属化合物Fe_2M-MIL-88B(M=Mn, Co, Ni),并围绕上述Fe基双金属电催化剂的构效关系展开研究.扫描电镜、透射电镜、X射线衍射光谱、红外光谱等表征结果表明,所制备的Fe基双金属材料均为具有MIL-88B构型的纳米棒,其特征三核金属簇Fe_3O中的一个铁原子被第二元金属所替代,从而形成相应的三核混合金属簇Fe_2MO.上述Fe基双金属催化剂的析氧催化活性顺序为:Fe_2Ni Fe_2Co Fe_2Mn Fe (0.1 M KOH电解液).其中, Fe_2Ni-MIL-88B电催化剂在10 mA cm~(2-)析氧电流对应的过电位仅需307 mV,明显低于OER基准电催化剂20 wt%Ir/C(376 mV).结合材料的元素组成、电化学活性比表面积(ECSA)及金属价态分析发现,第二元金属的引入会在不同程度上降低Fe的价态,其中Ni的影响程度最大, Co次之, Mn的影响最小.借助分子轨道理论对上述实验现象进行了解释.处于低自旋态的Ni~(2+)与邻近桥氧O~(2-)之间存在电子排斥作用,因此部分电子将从Ni~(2+)经O~(2-)转移至高自旋态的Fe3+,从而在Ni2+和Fe3+之间形成了较强的电子耦合作用.Co~(2+)具有和Ni~(2+)相似的构型,但影响稍小.而Mn~(2+)和Fe~(3+)同为高自旋态,对Fe~(3+)的电子结构影响最小,导致活性改善程度最低.密度泛函理论计算得到的自旋态变化情况印证了上述推测.该系列Fe基双金属材料的催化性能主要受金属活性位点的电子结构影响, Fe与邻近金属间形成的电子耦合作用修饰了金属活性位点的电子结构,从而提高了材料的OER本征催化活性.

本文综述了双金属氰化络合物及其催化的环氧化物参与的聚合反应研究。双金属氰化络合物是由其内界金属M^Ⅱ通过氰基与外界金属M^Ⅰ连接形成的含 M^Ⅱ-C≡N-M^Ⅰ 桥键的三维网络状无机高分子(M^Ⅰ一般为Zn²⁺、Fe²⁺、Co²⁺和Ni²⁺等二价金属离子,M^Ⅱ一般为Fe²⁺、Fe³⁺、Co²⁺、Co³⁺和Ni²⁺等过渡金属离子)。外界金属M^Ⅰ一般被认为是催化反应的活性中心金属。该类催化剂早期被用于催化环氧化物开环聚合,并逐步发展成为合成中高分子量、低不饱和度聚醚多元醇的极高效催化剂。近年来该类催化剂被用来催化环氧化物/环状酸酐共聚、环氧化物/CX₂(X≡O,S)共聚和环氧化物/环状酸酐/CO₂三元共聚反应合成聚酯、聚碳酸酯、聚(醚-碳酸酯)、聚硫代碳酸酯和聚(碳酸酯-酯)等具有生物降解性的聚合物。尤其对氧化环己烯(CHO)与CO₂(或酸酐)共聚,锌-钴双金属氰化络合物表现出了极高的催化活性和选择性。结合本研究组十多年的研究结果,本文讨论了双金属氰化络合物催化活性中心的可能结构和催化机理,提出了双金属氰化络合物催化聚合的共性难题和解决这些问题的方向。

Surpassing electrocatalytic limit of earth-abundant Fe~(4+) embedded in N-doped graphene for(photo)electrocatalytic water oxidation

Developing highly active,cost-effective,and environmental friendly oxygen evolution reaction(OER)electrocatalysts facilitates various(photo)electrochemical processes.In this work,Fe3N nanoparticles encapsulated into N-doped graphene nanoshells(Fe₃N@NG)as OER electrocatalysts in alkaline media were reported.Both the experimental and theoretical comparison between Fe₃ N@NG and Fe₃N/NG,specifically including in situ Mossbauer analyses,demonstrated that the NG nanoshells improved interfacial electron transfer process from Fe₃N to NG to form high-valence Fe⁴⁺ions(Fe⁴⁺@NG),thus modifying electronic properties of the outer NG shells and subsequently electron transfer from oxygen intermediate to NG nanoshells for OER catalytic process.Meanwhile,the NG nanoshells also protected Fe-based cores from forming OER inactive and insulated Fe₂O₃,leading to high OER stability.As a result,the as-formed Fe⁴⁺@NG shows one of the highest electrocatalytic efficiency among reported Fe-based OER electrocatalysts,which can as well highly improve the photoelectrochemical water oxidation when used as the cocatalysts for the Fe₂O₃ nanoarray photoanode.     

金属有机框架衍生的阳离子调控金属硫化物增强析氧反应活性（英文）

析氧反应(OER)在电化学能源存储与转化技术(例如,电解水与金属-空气电池)中扮演着至关重要的角色.OER涉及四个电子的连续转移,动力学较为缓慢,因此需要较高的过电位来驱动反应进行,这严重限制了其在电化学储能和转换系统中的应用.IrO₂和RuO₂等贵金属基催化剂资源稀缺、价格高昂,因此,开发高活性、高稳定性及低成本的OER电催化剂显得尤为重要,并且极具挑战.杂原子掺杂是一种有效提升过渡金属化合物OER电催化剂活性的策略,但是当前对其本征活性位点的识别及活性提升机制的研究仍然不足.本文提出了一种阳离子掺杂策略,通过引入金属阳离子调控多金属组分的电子结构,优化OER中间体吸附能,进而提升OER活性.通过简单的一步热解硫化钴镍双金属有机框架材料前驱体,成功制备了Ni掺杂CoS/氮掺杂介孔碳(Ni-CoS/NC)复合结构电催化剂;并采用循环伏安法研究了其电化学行为与OER性能,结合谱学研究结果与密度泛函理论(DFT)计算,从原子层面揭示了OER条件下真实活性位点及掺杂型电催化剂的活性提升机制.电化学研究结果表明,所制备Ni-CoS/NC催化剂在1.0...     

无模板合成微米管状Co3O4基复合材料高效催化电解水析氧反应

电解水制氢因具有清洁高效的优点而被认为是大规模生产氢能最有希望的技术之一.然而,电解水半反应之一的析氧反应(OER)需经历复杂且动力学缓慢的4电子转移过程.加之热力学上的阻碍,OER实际需要的电位远大于1.23 V的理论值,导致其能耗高,限制了电解水的效率和商业化应用.因此,亟待开发高效的OER电催化剂.管状结构具有较高的比表面积、充分暴露的活性位点和丰富的短路径扩散通道,是一种理想的电催化结构.同时,Co3O4基材料因其制备容易、成本低和OER电催化学活性较高等特点,成为近年来电催化材料的研究热点.此外,非金属元素P的掺杂条件温和,并且可以有效改变过渡金属电子结构.因此,本文通过合理设计管状的Co3O4基电催化剂并进行P掺杂,尝试将形貌调控和元素改性的优势发挥到最大.为了解析影响生成管状结构的因素,本文通过控制变量法系统地研究了管状Ni/Co3O4的制备条件,包括阳离子种类和含量、添加剂种类和含量、阴离子种类等对催化剂形貌和性能的影响.表征结果表明,初始的乙酸钴镍氢氧化物棱柱对反应环境较为敏感,从而成为直接影响最终微米管状结构的关键因素.此外,对Ni/Co3O4微米管进行适量的P掺杂,能提高材料的电子传输性能和优化材料的电子结构;而且P的掺杂直接提高了样品中的M3+/M2+比例(M代表Co和Ni),而M3+是M基电催化材料的活性位点,这进一步增加了OER的活性位点进而提高其催化活性.总之,通过结构和成分的优化,得到了OER催化性能显著提高的微米管状P-Ni/Co3O4,其性能甚至超过了商业化RuO2电催化剂.

Nanobundles of Iron Phosphide Fabricated by Direct Phosphorization of Metal–Organic Frameworks as an Efficient Hydrogen-Evolving Electrocatalyst

Transition-metal-based phosphides (TMPs) have been considered as attractive electrocatalysts for water splitting due to their earth-abundance and remarkable catalytic activity. As a representative type of precursors, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) provide ideal plateaus for the design of nanostructured TMPs. In this work, the hierarchically structured iron phosphide nanobundles (FeP-500) were fabricated by one-step phosphorization of an iron-based MOF (MET(Fe)) precursor. The derived FeP-500 nanobundles were constructed by quasi-paralleled one-dimensional nanorods with uneven surface, which provided channels for electrolyte penetration, mass transport, and effective exposure of active sites during the water-splitting process. With the addition of conductive Super P, the obtained FeP-500-S exhibited a good electrocatalytic performance towards the hydrogen evolution reaction in alkaline electrolyte (1 mol L⁻¹ KOH). Furthermore, to investigate the influence of secondary metal doping, a series of isoreticular MOF precursors and bimetallic TMPs were fabricated. The results indicated that the catalytic performance is structure dominated.     

Exploring the Performance Improvement of the Oxygen Evolution Reaction in a Stable Bimetal–Organic Framework System

Despite wide applications of bimetallic electrocatalysis in oxygen evolution reaction (OER) owing to their superior performance, the origin of the improved performance remains elusive. The underlying mechanism was explored by designing and synthesizing a series of stable metal–organic frameworks (MOFs: NNU‐21–24 ) based on trinuclear metal carboxylate clusters and tridentate carboxylate ligands. Among the examined stable MOFs, NNU‐23 exhibits the best OER performance; particularly, compared with monometallic MOFs, all the bimetallic MOFs display improved OER activity. DFT calculations and experimental results demonstrate that introduction of the second metal atom can improve the activity of the original atom. The proposed model of bimetallic electrocatalysts affecting their OER performance can facilitate design of efficient bimetallic catalysts for energy storage and conversion, and investigation of the related catalytic mechanisms.     

Phytic Acid-Based FeCo Bimetallic Metal-Organic Gels for Electrocatalytic Oxygen Evolution Reaction

Electrocatalysts have been developed to improve the efficiency of gas release for oxygen evolution reaction (OER), and finding a simple and efficient method for efficient electrocatalysts has inspired research enthusiasm. Herein, we report bimetallic metal-organic gels derived from phytic acid (PA) and mixed transition metal ions to explore their performance in electrocatalytic oxygen evolution reaction. PA is a natural phosphorus-rich organic compound, which can be obtained from plant seeds and grains. PA reacts with bimetallic ions (Fe³⁺ and Co²⁺) in a facile one-pot synthesis under mild conditions to form PA-FeCo bimetallic gels, and the corresponding aerogels are further partially reduced with NaBH₄ to improve the electrocatalytic activity. Mixed valence states of Fe(II)/Fe(III) and Co(III)/Co(II) are present in the materials. Excellent OER performance in terms of overpotential (257 mV at 20 mA cm⁻²) and Tafel slope (36 mV dec⁻¹) is achieved in an alkaline electrolyte. This reduction method is superior to the pyrolysis method by well maintaining the gel morphology structure. This strategy is conducive to the further improvement of the performance of metal-organic electrocatalysts, and provides guidance for the subsequent application of metal-organic gel electrocatalysts.     

Stable Hierarchical Bimetal–Organic Nanostructures as HighPerformance Electrocatalysts for the Oxygen Evolution Reaction

The integration of heterometallic units and nanostructures into metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) used for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) can enhance the electrocatalytic performance and help elucidate underlying mechanisms. We have synthesized a series of stable MOFs (CTGU‐10a1–d1) based on trinuclear metal carboxylate clusters and a hexadentate carboxylate ligand with a (6,6)‐connected nia net. We also present a strategy to synthesize hierarchical bimetallic MOF nanostructures (CTGU‐10a2–d2). Among these, CTGU‐10c2 is the best material for the OER, with an overpotential of 240 mV at a current density of 10 mA cm^?2 and a Tafel slope of 58 mV dec^?1. This is superior to RuO₂ and confirms CTGU‐10c2 as one of the few known high‐performing pure‐phase MOF‐OER electrocatalysts. Notably, bimetallic CTGU‐10b2 and c2 show an improved OER activity over monometallic CTGU‐10a2 and d2. Both DFT and experiments show that the remarkable OER performance of CTGU‐10c2 is due to the presence of unsaturated metal sites, a hierarchical nanobelt architecture, and the Ni–Co coupling effect.     

One-Pot Synthesis of Heterobimetallic Metal–Organic Frameworks (MOFs) for Multifunctional Catalysis

A one-pot synthesis of bimetallic metal–organic frameworks (Co/Fe-MOFs) was achieved by treating stoichiometric amounts of Fe and Co salts with 2-aminoterephthalic acid (NH₂-BDC). Monometallic Fe (catalyst A) and Co (catalyst F) were also prepared along with mixed-metal Fe/Co catalysts (B–E) by changing the Fe/Co ratio. For mixed-metal catalysts (B–E) SEM energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis confirmed the incorporation of both Fe and Co in the catalysts. However, a spindle-shaped morphology, typically known for the Fe-MIL-88B structure and confirmed by PXRD analysis, was only observed for catalysts A–D. To test the catalytic potential of mixed-metal MOFs, reduction of nitroarenes was selected as a benchmark reaction. Incorporation of Co enhanced the activity of the catalysts compared with the parent NH₂-BDC-Fe catalyst. These MOFs were also tested as electrocatalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and the best activity was exhibited by mixed-metal Fe/Co-MOF (Fe/Co batch ratio=1). The catalyst provided a current density of 10 mA cm⁻² at 410 mV overpotential, which is comparable to the benchmark OER catalyst (i.e., RuO₂). Moreover, it showed long-term stability in 1 m KOH. In a third catalytic test, dehydrogenation of sodium borohydride showed high activity (turnover frequency=87 min⁻¹) and hydrogen generation rate (67 L min⁻¹ g⁻¹ catalyst). This is the first example of the synthesis of bimetallic MOFs as multifunctional catalysts particularly for catalytic reduction of nitroarenes and dehydrogenation reactions.     

Bimetallic Metal‐Organic Framework‐Derived Nanosheet‐Assembled Nanoflower Electrocatalysts for Efficient Oxygen Evolution Reaction

Non‐noble metal‐based metal–organic framework (MOF)‐derived electrocatalysts have recently attracted great interest in the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Here we report a facile synthesis of nickel‐based bimetallic electrocatalysts derived from 2D nanosheet‐assembled nanoflower‐like MOFs. The optimized morphologies and large Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) surface area endow FeNi@CNF with efficient OER performance, where the aligned nanosheets can expose abundant active sites and benefit electron transfer. The complex nanoflower morphologies together with the synergistic effects between two metals attributed to the OER activity of the Ni‐based bimetallic catalysts. The optimized FeNi@CNF afforded an overpotential of 356 mV at a current density of 10 mA cm^?2 with a Tafel slope of 62.6 mV dec^?1, and also exhibited superior durability with only slightly degradation after 24 hours of continuous operation. The results may inspire the use of complex nanosheet‐assembled nanostructures to explore highly active catalysts for various applications.     

钴基类沸石咪唑酯框架材料衍生的析氧反应活性催化剂（英文）

析氧反应(OER)在能量转换和储存技术中扮演着重要角色,例如在水分解和金属空气电池中,电催化剂的发展是主要任务.本文采用钴基的类沸石咪唑酯骨架结构材料(ZIFs)作为前驱体,在氩气保护气氛下,成功制备了氮掺杂钴镍磷多孔碳多面体电催化剂(CoNiP/NC).首先,采用ZIF-67作为前驱体,将ZIF-67和六水合硝酸镍按照一定比例在乙醇溶液中搅拌30 min,达到掺杂镍的目的,然后将其在不同温度下煅烧,得到的样品在300 oC氩气保护气氛下磷化,得到最终产物.所有电催化剂均通过控制碳化和磷化作用温度获得.通过对样品ZIF-67Ni进行EDS分析,证明镍成功负载到ZIF-67上,XPS结果也证明了这一点.由扫描电镜图可以看出,前驱体ZIF-67在负载Ni之后,样品表面形貌发生明显变化,表面变得粗糙,有明显的条文.磷化后样品的XRD结果说明磷化方法是成功的,同时XPS结果表明样品中有P元素存在.从扫描电镜图片可以明显看出,样品在煅烧之后表面形貌发生明显变化,由棱角明显变为表面粗糙,但是并未发生明显的团聚现象.XPS显示,样品CoNiP/NC700(700指煅烧温度(oC))中存在钴、镍、磷、碳、氮、氧这六种元素,另外还分析了其高分辨图.结果显示,电催化剂CoNiP/NC700表现出优越的电催化效率,在碱性溶液的电流密度10 mA/cm~2条件下,其开路电压约为220 mV,过电位约为300 mV.掺杂镍之后的样品性能比煅烧ZIF-67的样品好,说明镍对于提高析氧反应效率有益;同样,磷化之后样品的OER性能也有所提高.相比较而言,对于磷化之后的样品,煅烧温度是700℃时,OER催化效率最好.磷化杂化材料优越的电催化活性是由于其强的电子耦合相互作用而产生的协同效应,在镍、磷、碳等方面具有较强的协同效应.相互联系的非定形碳不仅固定了活性碳化合物以避免聚集,而且还为电子转移提供了传导通道.对样品CoNiP/NC700进行了稳定性测试,结果表明其稳定性较好,在循环10 h之后,活性仅下降了4%.这一研究表明,该复合电催化剂可能是电催化氧化反应的一个很有前景的候选催化剂.     

金属-有机框架原位转化合成无定形Fe基双金属氢氧化物催化剂催化析氧反应性能

传统化石能源的大量消耗使得能源短缺和环境污染等问题日益严峻.社会的可持续发展需要进行能源结构调整,寻求清洁、可再生的替代能源已迫在眉睫.氢能作为一种可再生能源,其热值高,燃烧产物无污染,是未来最理想的能源形式之一.水裂解制氢是公认的未来清洁制氢的一种有效途径.然而,无论是电催化或光催化水裂解反应,析氧反应都是关键的半反应.因其复杂的四电子过程导致动力学缓慢,使得析氧半反应成为水裂解反应的瓶颈.长久以来,贵金属Ir和Ru基材料是被广泛研究的高活性的析氧催化剂.然而高成本和低储量极大地限制了它们的大规模工业化应用.因此,开发高效、储量丰富的析氧催化剂,意义重大但仍充满挑战性.本文考察了一种简便而有效的合成策略,在碱性水溶液条件下,成功实现将一系列Fe基金属有机框架(MOF)前驱物原位转化为无定形Fe基双金属氢氧化物纳米结构.这些由MOF前驱物转化得到的氢氧化物纳米结构保留了前驱体纳米棒的宏观形貌,由许多超细的无定形纳米颗粒(平均粒径小于10 nm)构成,在催化反应中可以提供丰富的催化活性位,相邻的纳米颗粒之间紧密接触,有利于电子在催化活性位之间传递.以玻碳电极作为基底,通过组分优化得到的NiFe-OH-0.75催化剂样品在电催化析氧反应中仅需270 mV的过电位便可达到10 mA cm^-2的电流密度,Tafel斜率为39 mV dec^-1.将催化剂负载到三维泡沫镍基底上时,由于电极基底导电性提升以及传质增加,在10 mA cm^?2的电流密度所需的过电位可以降低到235 mV,Tafel斜率为37 mV dec^?1,并且表现出较好的稳定性.同时,本文进一步证实这些无定形氢氧化物可以用作助催化剂,与合适的光敏剂结合,实现有效的光催化水氧化反应.在KH2PO4-K2HPO4缓冲溶液(pH=9)体系中,以[Ru(2,2’-bipyridine)3]Cl₂为光敏剂,Na2S2O8为电子受体,由CoFe-MIL-0.75前驱体转化所得到的CoFe-OH-0.75助催化剂表现出更优越的光催化产氧性能,产氧效率可达59.6%.本文结果可以为其他基于MOF及其相关衍生材料的制备提供新思路.     

Hierarchical Hollow Nanoprisms Based on Ultrathin Ni‐Fe Layered Double Hydroxide Nanosheets with Enhanced Electrocatalytic Activity towards Oxygen Evolution

The oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is involved in various renewable energy systems, such as water‐splitting cells and metal–air batteries. Ni‐Fe layered double hydroxides (LDHs) have been reported as promising OER electrocatalysts in alkaline electrolytes. The rational design of advanced nanostructures for Ni‐Fe LDHs is highly desirable to optimize their electrocatalytic performance. Herein, we report a facile self‐templated strategy for the synthesis of novel hierarchical hollow nanoprisms composed of ultrathin Ni‐Fe LDH nanosheets. Tetragonal nanoprisms of nickel precursors were first synthesized as the self‐sacrificing template. Afterwards, these Ni precursors were consumed during the hydrolysis of iron(II) sulfate for the simultaneous growth of a layer of Ni‐Fe LDH nanosheets on the surface. The resultant Ni‐Fe LDH hollow prisms with large surface areas manifest high electrocatalytic activity towards the OER with low overpotential, small Tafel slope, and remarkable stability.     

Synthesis and Optimization of Zeolitic Imidazolate Frameworks for the Oxygen Evolution Reaction

Metal–organic frameworks/zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (MOFs/ZIFs) and their post-synthesis modified nanostructures, such as oxides, hydroxides, and carbons have generated significant interest for electrocatalytic reactions. In this work, a high and durable oxygen evolution reaction (OER) performance directly from bimetallic Zn_100−xCo_x-ZIF samples is reported, without carrying out high-temperature calcination and/or carbonization. ZIFs can be reproducibly and readily synthesized in large scale at ambient conditions. The bimetallic ZIFs show a systematic and gradually improved OER activity with increasing cobalt concentration. A further increase in OER activity is evidenced in ZIF-67 polyhedrons with controlled particle size of <200 nm among samples of different sizes between 50 nm and 2 μm. Building on this, a significantly enhanced, >50 %, OER activity is obtained with ZIF-67/carbon black, which shows a low overpotential of approximately 320 mV in 1.0 m KOH electrolyte. Such activity is comparable to or better than numerous MOF/ZIF-derived electrocatalysts. The optimized ZIF-67 sample also exhibits increased activity and durability over 24 h, which is attributed to an in situ developed active cobalt oxide/oxyhydroxide related nanophase.
