| 1 | Engineering local coordination environments and site densities for high-performance Fe-N-C oxygen reduction reaction electrocatalysis显示文摘Fe-N-C catalysts represent very promising cathode catalysts for polymer electrolyte fuel cells,owing to their outstanding activity for the oxygen reduction reaction(ORR),especially in alkaline media.In this review,we summarize recent advances in the design and synthesis of Fe-N-C catalysts rich in highly dispersed FeNx active sites.Special emphasis is placed on emerging strategies for tuning the electronic structure of the Fe atoms to enhance the ORR activity,and also maximizing the surface concentration of FeNx sites that are catalytically accessible during ORR.While great progress has been made over the past 5 years in the development of Fe-N-C catalyst for ORR,significant technical obstacles still need to be overcome to enable the large-scale application of Fe-N-C materials as cathode catalysts in real-world fuel cells. | Qing Wang Lu Shang Dongxiao Sun-Waterhouse Tierui Zhang Geoffrey Waterhouse | 2021 | SmartMat2021,2,2: | 5 |
| 2 | Effect of Zn atom in Fe-N-C catalysts for electro-catalytic reactions: theoretical considerations显示文摘Due to the high specific surface area,abundant nitrogen and micropores,ZIF-8 is a commonly used precursor for preparing high performance Fe-N-C catalysts.However,the Zn element is inevitably remained in the prepared Fe-N-C catalyst.Whether the residual Zn element affects the catalytic activity and active site center of the Fe-N-C catalyst caused widespread curiosity,but has not been studied yet.Herein,we built several Fe,Zn,and N co-doped graphene models to investigate the effect of Zn atoms on the electrocatalytic performance of Fe-N-C catalysts by using density functional theory method.The calculation results show that all the calculated Fe-Zn-N_(x) structures are thermodynamically stable due to the negative formation energies and relative stabilities.The active sites around Fe and Zn atoms in the structure of Fe-Zn-N_(6)(III)show the lowest oxygen reduction reaction(ORR)and oxygen evolution reaction(OER)overpotentials of 0.38 and 0.43 V,respectively.The bridge site of Fe-Zn in Fe-Zn-N_(5) shows the lowest η^(HER) of−0.26 V.A few structures with a better activity than that of FeN_(4) or ZnN_(4) are attributed to the synergistic effects between Fe and Zn atoms.The calculated ORR reaction pathways on Fe-Zn-N6(III)show that H_(2)O is the final product and the ORR mechanism on the catalyst would be a four-electron process,and the existence of Zn element in the Fe-N-C catalysts plays a key role in reducing the ORR activation energy barrier.The results are helpful for the deep understand of high-performance Fe-N-C catalysts. | Yongcheng Li Riming Hu Zhibin Chen Xin Wan Jia-Xiang Shang Fu-He Wang Jianglan Shui | 2021 | Nano Research2021,14,3: | 3 |
| 3 | Comparison of catalyst-coated membranes and catalyst-coated substrate for PEMFC membrane electrode assembly:A review显示文摘Catalyst-coated membranes(CCMs)have gained popularity among membrane electrode assembly(MEA)fabricators for their abilities and advantages compared with those of other methods,such as catalyst-coated substrates(CCSs).CCMs show a profound new analysis for reducing platinum(Pt)catalyst loading.In addition,they increase the total number of reactions that occur on the MEA because of their active area amplification,which leads to an improved catalyst-utilization efficiency rate.Moreover,several characteristics are involved in the MEA fabrication methods.Material-manufacturing effects with regard to catalyst inks and analysis of the overall performance of MEAs prepared by the CCM and CCS methods are deliberated.This deliberation emphasizes the practical approaches in minimizing performance deterioration during the fabrication of MEAs using the CCM method and converses the commercialization of the CCM fabrication method toward developing an end product.Novel research is required for MEA fabrication using the CCM methods to ensure that the fuel cell performance is improved.Therefore,this review is focusing on the pros and cons of both distinguished methods,that is,CCM and CCS fabrication,for better comparison. | Bee Huah Lim Edy Herianto Majlan Ahmad Tajuddin Teuku Husaini Wan Ramli Wan Daud Nabilah Afiqah Mohd Radzuan Md.Ahsanul Haque | 2021 | Chinese Journal of Chemical Engineering2021,34,5: | 2 |
| 4 | Atomically Dispersed Fe-N_4 Modified with Precisely Located S for Highly Efficient Oxygen Reduction显示文摘Immobilizing metal atoms by multiple nitrogen atoms has triggered exceptional catalytic activity toward many critical electrochemical reactions due to their merits of highly unsaturated coordination and strong metal-substrate interaction.Herein,atomically dispersed Fe-NC material with precise sulfur modification to Fe periphery(termed as Fe-NSC) was synthesized,X-ray absorption near edge structure analysis confirmed the central Fe atom being stabilized in a specific configuration of Fe(N3)(N-C-S).By enabling precisely localized S doping,the electronic structure of Fe-N4 moiety could be mediated,leading to the beneficial adjustment of absorption/desorption properties of reactant/intermediate on Fe center.Density functional theory simulation suggested that more negative charge density would be localized over Fe-N4 moiety after S doping,allowing weakened binding capability to *OH intermediates and faster charge transfer from Fe center to O species.Electrochemical measurements revealed that the Fe-NSC sample exhibited significantly enhanced oxygen reduction reaction performance compared to the S-free Fe-NC material(termed as Fe-NC),showing an excellent onset potential of 1.09 V and half-wave potential of 0.92 V in 0.1 M KOH.Our work may enlighten relevant studies regarding to accessing improvement on the catalytic performance of atomically dispersed M-NC materials by managing precisely tuned local environments of M-Nx moiety. | Yin Jia Xuya Xiong Danni Wang Xinxuan Duan Kai Sun Yajie Li Lirong Zheng Wenfeng Lin Mingdong Dong Guoxin Zhang Wen Liu Xiaoming Sun | 2020 | Nano-Micro Letters2020,12,9: | 1 |
| 5 | Cathode Design for Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells in Automotive Applications显示文摘An advanced cathode design can improve the power performance and durability of proton exchange membrane fuel cells(PEMFCs),thus reducing the stack cost of fuel cell vehicles(FCVs).Recent studies on highly active Pt alloy catalysts,short-side-chain polyfluorinated sulfonic acid(PFSA)ionomer and 3D-ordered electrodes have imparted PEMFCs with boosted power density.To achieve the compacted stack target of 6 kW/L or above for the wide commercialization of FCVs,developing available cathodes for high-power-density operation is critical for the PEMFC.However,current developments still remain extremely challenging with respect to highly active and stable catalysts in practical operation,controlled distribution of ionomer on the catalyst surface for reducing catalyst poisoning and oxygen penetration losses and 3D(three-dimensional)-ordered catalyst layers with low Knudsen diffusion losses of oxygen molecular.This review paper focuses on impacts of the cathode development on automotive fuel cell systems and concludes design directions to provide the greatest benefit. | Haojie Wang Ruiqing Wang Sheng Sui Tai Sun Yichang Yan Shangfeng Du | 2021 | Automotive Innovation2021,4,2: | 0 |
