为了研究Fe/Co/Ni-N掺杂石墨烯的氧还原反应(ORR)活性,比较单金属原子和氮不同的掺杂方式对石墨烯ORR活性的影响.利用Materials Studio软件建立了Fe/Co/Ni-N掺杂石墨烯模型,然后将氧气分子分别吸附在Fe/Co/Ni-N掺杂石墨烯模型表面上.采用CASTEP模块对构建的模型进行结构优化并模拟计算,分析了Fe/Co/Ni-N掺杂石墨烯的吸附能、脱附能和导电性变化规律.基于模拟计算,发现单金属原子掺杂石墨烯时,Fe掺杂石墨烯的ORR活性优于Co和Ni;单金属原子和氮共掺杂石墨烯时,Fe-N掺杂石墨烯的ORR活性高于Co-N和Ni-N掺杂石墨烯,且M-N₄-G形态的ORR活性优于M-N₁-G、M-N₂-G和M-N₃-G.     

Edge-enriched graphene with boron and nitrogen co-doping for enhanced oxygen reduction reaction

Carbon-based electrocatalysts for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), especially in anion exchange membrane fuel cells (AEMFCs), have received a lot of attention because they exhibit excellent stability and are comparable to commercial Pt/C catalysts. Currently, to maximize the catalytic activity of carbon-based electrocatalysts, there are two major strategies: heteroatom doping or exposing active edge sites. However, the approach of increasing heteroatomic dopants of active edge sites has been rarely addressed. In this study, we present a simple strategy to prepare edge-enriched graphene catalysts with an increased ratio of heteroatomic dopants suitable for ORR of AEMFCs. The catalysts were prepared under harsh oxidation conditions, followed by a simple co-doping process with boron and nitrogen. The ORR activity of the catalysts was observed to be related to an increase of edge sites with heteroatomic dopants. We believe that the edge-enriched structure leads to accelerated electron transfer with enhanced oxygen adsorption.     

Theoretical investigation of CoTa2O6/graphene heterojunctions for oxygen evolution reaction

Water electrolysis is to split water into hydrogen and oxygen using electricity as the driving force. To obtain low-cost hydrogen in a large scale, it is critical to develop electrocatalysts based on earth abundant elements with a high efficiency. This computational work started with Cobalt on CoTa₂O₆ surface as the active site, CoTa₂O₆/Graphene heterojunctions have been explored as potential oxygen evolution reaction (OER) catalysts through density functional theory (DFT). We demonstrated that the electron transfer (δ) from CoTa₂O₆ to graphene substrate can be utilized to boost the reactivity of Co-site, leading to an OER overpotential as low as 0.30 V when N-doped graphene is employed. Our findings offer novel design of heterojunctions as high performance OER catalysts.     

First-principles study on the Ni@Pt12 Ih core-shell nanoparticles: A good catalyst for oxygen reduction reaction

The adsorption, diffusion and dissociation properties of O₂ on the icosahedron (Ih) Ni@Pt12 core-shell nanoparticle were investigated using the ab initio density functional theory calculations. It is found that, compared with the Pt(111) surface, the Ih Ni@Pt12 core-shell nanoparticle can enhance the adsorption, diffusion and dissociation of O₂, as well as the adsorption and diffusion of the atomic O (the dissociation product of O₂), and therefore serve as a good catalyst for oxygen reduction reaction. Our study gives a reasonable theoretical explanation to the high catalytic activity of the Ni@Pt core-shell nanoparticles for the oxygen reduction reaction.

Pressure effect on the electronic and optical properties of the alkali antimonide semiconductors Cs3Sb, KCs2Sb, CsK2Sb and K3Sb: Ab initio study

We present first principles calculations of the effect of pressure on the electronic and optical properties of the alkali antimonides semiconductors K₃Sb, K₂CsSb, KCs₂Sb and Cs₃Sb by means of the full-potential linearized augmented plane wave method within the generalized gradient approximation. The band gap variation is not linear. The crossover pressure values are determined for K₃Sb and K₂CsSb. Under pressure the structures in the optical spectra shift towards higher energies for K₃Sb and KCs₂Sb whereas the threshold energy is lowered for K₂CsSb and Cs₃Sb. The electronic dielectric constant decreases with pressure for K₃Sb while it increases for the other three compounds. Our results indicate that the absorption becomes strong in the UV region for KCs₂Sb and Cs₃Sb.     

Electronic properties of graphene nanoribbon doped by boron/nitrogen pair: a first-principles study

By using the first-principles calculations, the electronic properties of graphene nanoribbon (GNR) doped by boron/nitrogen (B/N) bonded pair are investigated. It is found that B/N bonded pair tends to be doped at the edges of GNR and B/N pair doping in GNR is easier to carry out than single B doping and unbonded B/N co-doping in GNR. The electronic structure of GNR doped by B/N pair is very sensitive to doping site besides the ribbon width and chirality. Moreover, B/N pair doping can selectively adjust the energy gap of armchair GNR and can induce the semimetal-semiconductor transmission for zigzag GNR. This fact may lead to a possible method for energy band engineering of GNRs and benefit the design of graphene electronic device.     

使用金属掺杂SnO2(110)作为表面催化剂的电催化CO2还原反应：通过调控Sn:O原子比例来控制产物

电催化CO₂还原反应可以产生HCOOH和CO,目前该反应是将可再生电力转化为化学能存储在燃料中的最有前景的方法之一. SnO₂作为将CO₂转换为HCOOH和CO的良好催化剂,其反应发生的晶面可以是不同的. 其中(110)面的SnO₂非常稳定,易于合成. 通过改变SnO₂(110)的Sn:O原子比例,得到了两种典型的SnO₂薄膜：完全氧化型(符合化学计量)和部分还原型. 本文研究了不同金属(Fe、Co、Ni、Cu、Ru、Rh、Pd、Ag、Os、Ir、Pt和Au)掺杂的SnO₂(110),发现在CO₂还原反应中这些材料的催化活性和选择性是不同的. 所有这些变化都可以通过调控(110)表面中Sn:O原子的比例来控制. 结果表明,化学计量型和部分还原型Cu/Ag掺杂的SnO₂(110)对CO₂还原反应具有不同的选择性. 具体而言,化学计量型的Cu/Ag掺杂的SnO₂(110)倾向于产生CO(g),而部分还原型的表面倾向于产生HCOOH(g). 此外,本文还考虑了CO₂还原的竞争析氢反应. 其中Ru、Rh、Pd、Os、Ir和Pt掺杂的SnO₂(110)催化剂对析氢反应具有较高的活性,其他催化剂对CO₂还原反应具有良好的催化作用.

Ultrasonic-assisted hydrothermal synthesis of cobalt oxide/nitrogen-doped graphene oxide hybrid as oxygen reduction reaction catalyst for Al-air battery

A persistent ultrasound-assisted hydrothermal method has been developed to prepare cobalt oxide incorporated nitrogen-doped graphene (Co₃O₄/N-GO) hybrids. The electrochemical behaviors and catalytic activity of the prepared hybrids have been systematically investigated as cathode materials for Al-air battery. The results show that ultrasonication can promote the yield ratio of Co₃O₄ from 63.1% to 70.6%. The prepared Co₃O₄/N-GO hybrid with ultrasonication exhibits better ORR activity over that without ultrasonication. The assembled Al-air battery using the ultrasonicated Co₃O₄/N-GO hybrid exhibited an average working voltage of 1.02 V in 4 M KOH electrolyte at 60 mA∙cm⁻², approximately 60 mV higher than that using hybrid without ultrasonication. This should be attributed to large number density of fine Co₃O₄ particles growing on the dispersed GO sheets under the persistent ultrasonication. The related ultrasonic mechanism has been discussed in details.

Precisely controlling the twist angle of epitaxial MoS2/graphene heterostructure by AFM tip manipulation

Two-dimensional (2D) moiré materials have attracted a lot of attention and opened a new research frontier of twistronics due to their novel physical properties. Although great progress has been achieved, the inability to precisely and reproducibly manipulate the twist angle hinders the further development of twistronics. Here, we demonstrated an atomic force microscope (AFM) tip manipulation method to control the interlayer twist angle of epitaxial MoS₂/graphene heterostructure with an ultra-high accuracy better than 0.1°. Furthermore, conductive AFM and spectroscopic characterizations were conducted to show the effects of the twist angle on moiré pattern wavelength, phonons and excitons. Our work provides a technique to precisely control the twist angle of 2D moiré materials, enabling the possibility to establish the phase diagrams of moiré physics with twist angle.

Si-doped C3N monolayers as efficient single-atom catalysts for the reduction of N2O: a computational study

Density functional theory calculations are performed to probe reaction pathways of N₂O reduction by CO molecule catalysed over Si-doped C₃N (Si-C₃N) nanosheets. According to our results, a single Si atom can be stabilised above the C- or N-vacancy site of C₃N due to the formation of strong Si-N or Si-C covalent bonds. The reduction of N₂O over Si-C₃N is characterised as a two-step process. First, N₂O is dissociated to N₂ and an activated oxygen atom (O_ads) without an energy barrier. Then, the O_ads moiety is removed by CO molecule by overcoming negligible activation energy.
