Electrocatalytically Active Fe‐(O‐C2)4 Single‐Atom Sites for Efficient Reduction of Nitrogen to Ammonia

Single‐atom catalysts have demonstrated their superiority over other types of catalysts for various reactions. However, the reported nitrogen reduction reaction single‐atom electrocatalysts for the nitrogen reduction reaction exclusively utilize metal–nitrogen or metal–carbon coordination configurations as catalytic active sites. Here, we report a Fe single‐atom electrocatalyst supported on low‐cost, nitrogen‐free lignocellulose‐derived carbon. The extended X‐ray absorption fine structure spectra confirm that Fe atoms are anchored to the support via the Fe‐(O‐C₂)₄ coordination configuration. Density functional theory calculations identify Fe‐(O‐C₂)₄ as the active site for the nitrogen reduction reaction. An electrode consisting of the electrocatalyst loaded on carbon cloth can afford a NH₃ yield rate and faradaic efficiency of 32.1 μg h^?1 mg_cat.^?1 (5350 μg h^?1 mg_Fe^?1) and 29.3 %, respectively. An exceptional NH₃ yield rate of 307.7 μg h^?1 mg_cat.^?1 (51 283 μg h^?1 mg_Fe^?1) with a near record faradaic efficiency of 51.0 % can be achieved with the electrocatalyst immobilized on a glassy carbon electrode.     

Enantiomeric Discrimination by Surface‐Enhanced Raman Scattering–Chiral Anisotropy of Chiral Nanostructured Gold Films

A surface‐enhanced Raman scattering‐chiral anisotropy (SERS‐ChA) effect is reported that combines chiral discrimination and surface Raman scattering enhancement on chiral nanostructured Au films (CNAFs) equipped in the normal Raman scattering Spectrometer. The CNAFs provided remarkably higher enhancement factors of Raman scattering (EFs) for particular enantiomers, and the SERS intensity was proportional to the enantiomeric excesses (ee) values. Except for molecules with mesomeric species, all of the tested enantiomers exhibited high SERS‐ChA asymmetry factors (g), ranging between 1.34 and 1.99 regardless of polarities, sizes, chromophores, concentrations and ee. The effect might be attributed to selective resonance coupling between the induced electric and magnetic dipoles associated with enantiomers and chiral plasmonic modes of CNAFs.

Two new metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), namely, three‐dimensional poly[diaquabis{μ₂‐1,4‐bis[(2‐methyl‐1H‐imidazol‐1‐yl)methyl]benzene}bis(μ₂‐glutarato)dinickel(II)] monohydrate], {[Ni₂(C₅H₆O₄)₂(C₁₆H₁₈N₄)₂(H₂O)₂]·H₂O}_n or {[Ni₂(Glu)₂(1,4‐mbix)₂(H₂O)₂]·H₂O}_n, ( I ), and two‐dimensional poly[[{μ₂‐1,4‐bis[(2‐methyl‐1H‐imidazol‐1‐yl)methyl]benzene}(μ₂‐glutarato)zinc(II)] tetrahydrate], {[Zn(C₅H₆O₄)(C₁₆H₁₈N₄)]·4H₂O}_n or {[Zn(Glu)(1,4‐mbix)]·4H₂O}_n ( II ), have been synthesized hydrothermally using glutarate (Glu^2?) mixed with 1,4‐bis[(2‐methyl‐1H‐imidazol‐1‐yl)methyl]benzene (1,4‐mbix), and characterized by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction, IR and UV–Vis spectroscopy, powder X‐ray diffraction, and thermogravimetric and photoluminescence analyses. Ni^II MOF ( I ) shows a 4‐connected 3D framework with point symbol 6⁶, but is not a typical dia network. Zn^II MOF ( II ) displays a two‐dimensional 4⁴‐ sql network with one‐dimensional water chains penetrating the grids along the c direction. The solid‐state photoluminescence analysis of ( II ) was performed at room temperature and the MOF exhibits highly selective sensing toward Fe³⁺ and Cr₂O₇^2? ions in aqueous solution.     

双功能MoNi4电极实现水参与的氮杂环化合物转移氢化与脱氢

氮杂环的催化氢化在有机合成、药物研发、石油化工等领域有着重要应用.尽管发展了一系列均相和非均相催化加氢体系,但由于通常使用易燃易爆的氢气或价格昂贵且毒性较高的试剂(如:水合肼和硼氢化钠)为氢源,给安全生产及生态环境带来了严重的问题.此外,由于动力学同位素效应,氘代药物具有重要应用.氮杂环结构作为生物医药的构筑单元与关键中间体,现有的策略由于没有合适的氘源难以用于氘代氮杂环化合物的合成.因此,急需开发一种基于非贵金属催化剂和安全易得氢(氘)源的氮杂环催化氢(氘)化策略.水相中的电化学氢化可利用水电解原位产生的活性氢替代传统的氢气裂解实现有机氢化产物的合成,已成为一种理想氢化策略,被广泛应用于二氧化碳还原、硝酸根还原和生物质氢解等.本课题组前期研究已经实现了以氘水为氘源的氘代分子的高效电化学合成(Angew.Chem.Int.Ed.,2020,59,18527–18531;Angew.Chem.Int.Ed.,2020,59,21170–21175;CCS Chem.,2021,3,507–515).然而,要开发一种电化学的杂环氢化方法,一方面要克服氮杂环化合物对催化剂的毒化,另一方面要在电极表面产生大量的活性氢.因此,开发具有较好的水离解性能的非贵金属电极材料是实现氮杂芳烃电化学氢化和氘代的关键.基于上述要求,MoNi4(目前用于碱性电催化水分解制氢的活性较高的非贵金属材料)成为理想的电极材料.本文以喹喔啉(1,2,3,4-四氢喹喔啉骨架作为重要的结构单元存在于许多生物活性化合物中)作为模板底物,设计并制备了三维自支撑的MoNi4多孔纳米片为双功能电极,以水和氘水为氢源和氘源,实现了喹喔啉及其他氮杂环分子的氢化与氢化,同时实现了四氢喹喔啉的电化学氧化脱氢.制备了MoNi4纳米片阵列,利用扫描电子显微镜、透射电子显微镜、X射线衍射和X光电子能谱等手段进行表征,评估了其在碱性电解液中用于喹喔啉电化学转移氢化的性能.结果表明,MoNi4电极加速了动力学缓慢的Volmer步骤,在仅50 mV的过电势下以80％的法拉第效率实现了喹喔啉的电化学氢化.电子顺磁共振等证实水电解生成了H*,并与喹喔啉自由基阴离子偶联实现喹喔啉的氢化.同时,该电化学转移氢化方法可很好地应用于一系列喹喔啉衍生物和其他氮杂芳烃化合物.克级合成体现了该电化学转移氢化方法的潜在应用性.原位拉曼实验结果表明,在MoNi4表面形成的NiOOH是实现1,2,3,4-四氢喹喔啉氧化脱氢的重要物种.此外,以D2O代替H2O,可以较好的收率和高达99％的氘化率实现氘代氮杂环的合成.与传统的氮杂环氢化方法相比,本文的电化学转移氢化策略具有绿色、温和、高效的特点,同时拓宽了电化学氢化在合成化学中的应用.

NASICON-based H2 Sensor Using CoCrMnO4 Insensitive Reference Electrode and Buried Au Sensing Electrode

This work focuses on the H2 sensing performance of the sensor with buried Au sensing electrode and spi- nel-type oxide CoCrMnO4 insensitive reference electrode within sodium super ionic conductor（NASICON） film. The sensor showed the highest response to H2 gas on the insensitive material sintering at 800 ~C. Compared with those of the traditional structure device, the sensitivity and selectivity of the sensor using buried sensing electrode were greatly improved, giving a response of-177 mV in 9x10 5 g/L H2, which was about 3.5 times higher than that of sensors with traditional structure. Moreover, the AV value of the sensing device exhibited linear relationship to the logarithm of H2 concentration and the sensitivity（slope） was -135 mV/decade. A sensing mechanism related to the mixed potential was proposed for the present sensor.
