Localized Ligands Assist Ultrafast Multivalent-Cation Intercalation Pseudocapacitance

Rechargeable batteries based on multivalent cation (Mvⁿ⁺, n>1) carriers are considered potentially low-cost alternatives to lithium-ion batteries. However, the high charge-density Mvⁿ⁺ carriers generally lead to sluggish kinetics and poor structural stability in cathode materials. Herein, we report an Mvⁿ⁺ storage via intercalation pseudocapacitance mechanism in a 2D bivalve-like organic framework featured with localized ligands. By switching from conventional intercalation to localized ligand-assisted-intercalation pseudocapacitance, the organic cathode exhibits unprecedented fast kinetics with little structural change upon intercalation. It thus enables an excellent power density of 57 kW kg⁻¹ over 20000 cycles for Ca²⁺ storage and a power density of 14 kW kg⁻¹ with a long cycling life over 45000 cycles for Zn²⁺ storage. This work may provide a largely unexploited route toward constructing a local dynamic coordination microstructure for ultrafast Mvⁿ⁺ storage.     

Directing the Selectivity of CO Electrolysis to Acetate by Constructing Metal-Organic Interfaces

Electrochemically converting CO₂ to valuable chemicals holds great promise for closing the anthropogenic carbon cycle. Owing to complex reaction pathways and shared rate-determining steps, directing the selectivity of CO₂/CO electrolysis to a specific multicarbon product is very challenging. We report here a strategy for highly selective production of acetate from CO electrolysis by constructing metal-organic interfaces. We demonstrate that the Cu-organic interfaces constructed by in situ reconstruction of Cu complexes show very impressive acetate selectivity, with a high Faradaic efficiency of 84.2 % and a carbon selectivity of 92.1 % for acetate production, in an alkaline membrane electrode assembly electrolyzer. The maximum acetate partial current density and acetate yield reach as high as 605 mA cm⁻² and 63.4 %, respectively. Thorough structural characterizations, control experiments, operando Raman spectroscopy measurements, and density functional theory calculation results indicate that the Cu-organic interface creates a favorable reaction microenvironment that enhances *CO adsorption, lowers the energy barrier for C−C coupling, and facilitates the formation of CH₃COOH over other multicarbon products, thus rationalizing the selective acetate production.     

Breaking Surface Atomic Monogeneity of Rh2P Nanocatalysts by Defect-Derived Phosphorus Vacancies for Efficient Alkaline Hydrogen Oxidation

Breaking atomic monogeneity of catalyst surfaces is promising for constructing synergistic active centers to cope with complex multi-step catalytic reactions. Here, we report a defect-derived strategy for creating surface phosphorous vacancies (P-vacancies) on nanometric Rh₂P electrocatalysts toward drastically boosted electrocatalysis for alkaline hydrogen oxidation reaction (HOR). This strategy disrupts the monogeneity and atomic regularity of the thermodynamically stable P-terminated surfaces. Density functional theory calculations initially verify that the competitive adsorption behavior of H_ad and OH_ad on perfect P-terminated Rh₂P{200} facets (p-Rh₂P) can be bypassed on defective Rh₂P{200} surfaces (d-Rh₂P). The P-vacancies enable the exposure of sub-surface Rh atoms to act as exclusive H adsorption sites. Therein, the H_ad cooperates with the OH_ad on the peripheral P-sites to effectively accelerate the alkaline HOR. Defective Rh₂P nanowires (d-Rh₂P NWs) and perfect Rh₂P nanocubes (p-Rh₂P NCs) are then elaborately synthesized to experimentally represent the d-Rh₂P and p-Rh₂P catalytic surfaces. As expected, the P-vacancy-enriched d-Rh₂P NWs catalyst exhibits extremely high catalytic activity and outstanding CO tolerance for alkaline HOR electrocatalysis, attaining 5.7 and 14.3 times mass activity that of p-Rh₂P NCs and commercial Pt/C, respectively. This work sheds light on breaking the surface atomic monogeneity for the development of efficient heterogeneous catalysts.     

A Biomass-Ligand-Based Ru(III) Complex as a Catalyst for Cycloaddition of CO2 and Epoxides to Cyclic Carbonates and a Study of the Mechanism

Aiming highly efficient conversion of greenhouse gas CO₂ to cyclic carbonates, a biomass Ru(III) Schiff base complex catalyst ( SalRu ) was constructed by employing a derivative of Lignin degradation (5-aldehyde vanillin). The SalRu catalyst had a remarkable conversion for epoxides into corresponding cyclic carbonates even at atmospheric pressure of CO₂ without the presence of co-catalyst. As the condition at 120 °C and 2 MPa CO₂ the conversion reached to 94 % with selectivity at 99 % after 8 h. 32 % cyclic carbonate production was obtained even under 0.2 MPa CO₂ pressure. The epoxide activation and ring opening, CO₂ insertion and cyclic carbonate formation were illuminated explicitly through the of characteristic absorption peaks changing, which further providing direct and visual evidence for the mechanism proposing. This study has important theoretical significance for the comprehensive utilization of environmental pollutants and energy.     

CoMn@NC催化5-羟甲基糠醛常压氧化为2, 5-呋喃二甲酸二甲酯

Dimethyl furan-2, 5-dicarboxylate (DMFDCA) is a valuable biomass-derived chemical that is an ideal alternative to fossil-derived terephthalic acid as a monomer for polymers. The one-step oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) to DMFDCA is of practical significance. It not only shortens the reaction pathway but also avoids the separation process of intermediates; thus, reducing cost. In this work, non-noble bimetallic catalysts supported on N-doped porous carbon (CoMn@NC) were synthesized via a one-step co-pyrolysis procedure using different pyrolysis temperatures and proportions of metal precursors and additives. We employed the prepared CoMn@NC catalysts in the aerobic oxidation of HMF under mild reaction conditions to obtain DMFDCA. High-yield DMFDCA was obtained by screening the prepared catalysts and optimizing the reaction conditions, including the strength and amount of the base, as well as the reaction temperature. The optimized yield of DMFDCA was 85% over the Co₃Mn₂@NC-800 catalyst after 12 h at 50 ℃ using ambient-pressure oxygen. The physicochemical properties of the catalysts were determined using a variety of characterization techniques, the factors affecting the performance of each catalyst were investigated, and the relationship between the physicochemical properties and performance of the prepared catalysts was elucidated. A porous structure with a high surface area had a positive effect on mass transfer efficiency. Cobalt nanoparticles (NPs) and atomically dispersed Mn were coordinated to N-doped carbon to form M―N_x (where M = Co or Mn). Based on the Mott-Schottky effect, there was significant electron transfer between each metal and the N-doped carbon, additionally, the metal NPs supplied electrons to the carbon atoms. The electron-deficient metal site in the pyridinic N-rich carbon was beneficial for the activation of HMF and oxygen. The activation of oxygen produced reactive oxygen species (such as superoxide radical anions) to ensure high selectivity to DMFDCA through dehydrogenative oxidation of the hemiacetal intermediate and hydroxymethyl group of 5-hydroxymethyl-2-methyl-furoate. The existence of disordered and defective carbons increased the number of active sites. Subsequently, we performed a series of control experiments. Based on our current experimental results and previous studies, we propose a simple mechanism for the aerobic oxidation of HMF to DMFDCA. The catalyst was stable, its performance decreased slightly after two cycles, and it was tolerant to SCN⁻ ions and resistant against N or S poisoning. Furthermore, the use of this catalytic system can be expanded to various substituted aromatic alcohols, such as benzyl alcohols with different substituents, furfuryl alcohol, and heterocyclic alcohols. Simultaneously, the product type was further extended from methyl esters to ethyl esters with a high yield when the substrate reacted with ethanol. In conclusion, this catalytic system can be applied in the production of carboxylic esters for polymers.     

改性Y沸石上苯与二异丙苯烷基转移反应活性及结炭失活的研究Ⅰ.沸石的钠含量和硅铝比对表面酸性的影响

用调节交换液ｐＨ值、高温水蒸气处理和不同浓度磷酸溶液等三种不同的改性方法对国产Ｙ型沸石进行了改性处理，运用ＴＰＤ、红外光谱、ＸＲＤ、原子吸收光谱测试了催化剂的物理性质，考察了不同改性方法对催化剂中的钠含量及骨架硅铝比的影响，以及由此造成对催化剂表面酸性质的影响。实验结果表明，这三种改性方法均能将沸石中深层次的钠交换下来。钠的减少主要产生的是Ｂｒｏｎｓｔｅｄ酸中心，而当Ｎａ２Ｏ含量低于０．２‰时，产生的又主要是强Ｂｒｏｎｓｔｅｄ酸中心。其中，高温水蒸气处理不仅影响钠的含量，而且影响硅铝比。催化剂酸性质是钠含量和硅铝比两个相反因素结合作用的结果。此外，实验结果还发现高温水蒸气处理一方面影响Ｂｒｏｎｓｔｅｄ酸量，一方面又能降低Ｂｒｏｎｓｔｅｄ酸强度。而磷酸改性只能同时改变各种强度的Ｂｒｏｎｓｔｅｄ酸量，对酸强度则没有影响。
