The impact of second coordination sphere functional group extension on product selectivity for manganese bipyridyl CO 2 reduction electrocatalysts

Utilizing the well established manganese bipyridyl class of homogeneous electrocatalyst, four new ligands are studied to probe the influence of distal, outer coordination sphere, H-bonding and steric effects on product selectivity for proton-coupled electrocatalytic CO 2 reduction. The presence of a simple acetate functional group in the second coordination sphere provides a high selectivy for CO 2 -to-CO conversion irrespective of proton source (H 2 O vs. PhOH) or applied potential. The o-(methoxybenzoate)phenyl second/outer coordination sphere at the bipyridyl 6,6′-positions imparts poor product selectivity. In contrast, upon conjugation of the acetate functional group with the N-Boc-alanine moiety, a CO : HCO 2 − product selectivity of ∼1 : 1 is observed at the high overpotential catalytic wave (for both H 2 O and PhOH acids). Computed enthalpy and free energy of activation parameters suggest that selective CO 2 insertion at the manganese hydride transition state is favored, over protonation, consistent with negligible hydrogen production during controlled potential electrolysis studies.

Balancing solvation: stabilizing lithium metal batteries via optimized cosolvents for ionic-liquid electrolytes

In this study, we examined three cosolvents with distinct solvation capabilities for ionic-liquid electrolytes based on 1-methyl-1-propyl pyrrolidinium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide (Py13FSI). We demonstrate that 1,1,1-trifluoro-2-(2-(2-(2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy)ethoxy)ethoxy)ethane (FDG) notably enhances the cycle life of Py13FSI-based electrolytes, outperforming 1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethyl 2,2,3,3-tetrafluoropropylether (TTE) and diglyme (DG). Electrochemical and surface analyses showed that this improvement could be attributed to the formation of a favorable cathode interphase, promoting efficient Li+ transport with reduced overpotential. Spectroscopic techniques (FTIR, Raman, and NMR spectroscopy) and molecular dynamics simulations revealed that cosolvents with varying solvation abilities can influence the solvation structures in Py13FSI-based electrolytes. The mild solvating strength and lithium stability of FDG are key contributors to its effectiveness. Conversely, DG, a strong solvating solvent, destabilized the Py13FSI-DG electrolyte at the lithium metal anode, while TTE, a non-solvating solvent, failed to enhance lithium transport or form a stable cathode interphase. Our findings highlight that balanced solvation exerted by the cosolvents is critical for forming a stable electrolyte–cathode interface, potentially through FSI decomposition. This study offers valuable insights into the development of durable ionic-liquid electrolytes, emphasizing the importance of selecting cosolvents with optimal solvation properties.

Correlating binding energies of adsorbed CO and H on model surfaces with CO/H 2 selectivity from co-electrolysis of CO 2 and H 2 O over copper–palladium bimetallic catalysts

Binding energies of adsorbed CO and H are key descriptors governing the activity and selectivity of the co-electrolysis of CO 2 and H 2 O to produce syngas with desired CO/H 2 ratios. Palladium hydride (PdH), which forms in situ at negative overpotentials, has been identified as the active Pd phase for CO 2 reduction to syngas. Herein, binding energies of CO and H are determined using temperature programmed desorption (TPD) of CO and H 2 from Pd(111), PdH/Pd(111), and Cu/PdH/Pd(111) under ultra-high vacuum (UHV) conditions. TPD results reveal that desorption of H 2 from subsurface PdH occurs at 460 K, while desorption from surface PdH is more facile at 320 K. CO desorption temperatures shift 20 K lower on PdH/Pd(111) compared to on Pd(111). The presence of 0.7 ML Cu further increases the desorption temperature of H 2 by 30 K while simultaneously reducing CO desorption temperatures by 70 K. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations show that CO adsorption onto Pd sites is hindered on the 0.7 ML Cu/PdH/Pd(111) surface while the kinetic barrier for H 2 desorption is increased. The trends in the binding energies of CO and H on model surfaces are consistent with electrochemical measurements of CuPd powder catalysts in a membrane electrode assembly (MEA), where H 2 evolution is reduced while CO production is enhanced compared to unmodified Pd catalysts. Overall, the results from model surface studies (TPD and DFT) provide a prediction and explanation for the activity and CO/H 2 ratios observed in electrochemical experiments. This study also demonstrates that CuPd is a promising catalyst with reduced Pd-loading to produce CO-rich syngas.

Enhanced cycling stability of Ni-rich Li-metal cells enabled by dual vinylene carbonate and tris(trimethylsilyl)borate electrolyte additives

NMC811 (LiNi 0.8 Co 0.1 Mn 0.1 O 2 ) and other high-Ni chemistries are promising cathode candidates for high-performance electric vehicles, owing to their high energy density and reduced cobalt content. However, their long-term cycling stability is hindered by surface degradation, particularly when paired with conventional electrolytes and a lithium metal anode. Electrolyte additives represent a practical approach to enhance interfacial stability and improve overall battery performance by promoting the formation of a robust electrolyte–electrode interphase (EEI). In this study, we revisit the effects of vinylene carbonate (VC) and tris(trimethylsilyl)borate (TMSB) additives on single-crystal SC-NMC811||Li cells. While TMSB only increases the open-circuit voltage and initial overpotential, it delivers superior capacity retention at C/3 compared to cells containing only VC or a dual additive system (VC and TMSB). Notably, under fast-charging conditions (1C, 2C, and 5C), the dual-additive system significantly outperforms other formulations, achieving markedly enhanced long-term capacity retention. Comprehensive electrochemical and spectroscopic analyses reveal that the VC/TMSB dual-additive system suppresses surface transition in NMC811, mitigates structural degradation by forming a thin, LiF-deficient cathode-electrolyte interface (CEI) layer. Moreover, they promote smooth and dense Li deposition and generate a LiF-deficient solid-electrolyte interphase (SEI). Consequently, the synergistic stabilization of both the CEI and SEI effectively limits the overall cell impedance growth during extended cycling. These findings provide key insights into co-additive strategies for engineering stable interfaces in high-energy Ni-rich Li-metal batteries.

Single-atom molybdenum doping induces nickel oxide-to-hydroxide transformation for enhanced alkaline hydrogen evolution

NiMoO x compounds are widely regarded as among the most efficient non-noble metal catalysts for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Nevertheless, understanding the structural evolution under in situ conditions and further enhancing their performance remain key challenges. Herein, we report that single-atom Mo doping in NiO significantly enhances its HER activity, reducing the overpotential to 131 mV at 10 mA cm −2 compared to undoped NiO. In situ X-ray absorption spectroscopy and Raman spectroscopy reveal that under catalytic conditions, Mo single atoms remain structurally stable, while Ni 2+ species in NiO are converted to Ni(OH) 2 in alkaline media under the applied working potential for HER. Notably, this transformation is absent in undoped NiO, indicating that Mo doping promotes the formation of active Ni(OH) 2 sites, which, in turn, accelerate the rate-limiting water dissociation step. These findings provide critical mechanistic insights into the structural evolution of NiMoO x during alkaline HER and highlight the importance of in situ studies in the development of highly efficient catalysts.

A new quinoline-based cobalt( II ) catalyst capable of bifunctional water splitting

We report on a new water-soluble cobalt( II ) complex capable of water splitting bifunctionality, i.e., water reduction and water oxidation. The species [Co II (L Qpy )H 2 O]ClO 4 (1), where L Qpy is the deprotonated form of the new tripodal ligand N 1 ,N 1 -bis(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)-N 2 -(quinolin-8-yl)benzene-1,2-diamine, HL Qpy , was developed aiming to replace an oxidation prone methylene group by a sturdy and redox stable quinoline. The molecular and electronic structures of 1 were evaluated by multiple spectroscopic, spectrometric, electrochemical and computational methods, and detailed pre- and post-catalytic studies were conducted to ascertain the molecular nature of the conversions. Complex 1 performs water reduction at a low onset overpotential (η) of 0.65 V at pH 7, reaching TON 3h 2900 (TOF 970 h −1 ) and TON 18h 12 100 (TOF 672 h −1 ) with up to 98% faradaic efficiency (FE). Species 1 also promotes water oxidation at η = 0.34 V under pH 8, achieving TON 3h 193 (TOF 64 h −1 ) at 84% FE. Experimental and DFT results enabled us to propose reaction intermediates and mechanisms.

Photosynthesis of CO from CO 2 with an iron polypyridyl catalyst at a passivated silicon photoelectrode

A first-row transition metal catalyst, [Fe(tpy)(Mebim-py)(NCCH 3 )] 2+ (tpy = 2,2′:6′,2′′-terpyridine, Mebim-py = 1-methylbenzimidazol-2-ylidene-3-(2′-pyridine)) mediates CO 2 reduction to CO at passivated p-Si photoelectrodes with applied potentials 240 mV positive of the standard CO 2 /CO reduction potential. The molecular catalyst's selectivity for CO was retained under photoelectrochemical conditions, with negligible direct proton reduction promoted by the photoelectrode. The faradaic efficiency for CO (44 ± 6%) was slightly enhanced relative to the catalyst performance in the dark (33%). A photosynthetic cell based on this photocathode system, coupled with ferrocene oxidation at the anode, successfully operated at a cell voltage of −1.2 V. The photovoltage generated by illumination of p-Si–CH 3 met and surpassed the potential required for CO 2 reduction when coupled with ferrocene oxidation. By leveraging a low-overpotential CO 2 reduction electrocatalyst, a photo-assisted electrochemical efficiency of 0.15% and applied bias photon-to-current efficiency of 0.05% was achieved for this single-junction cell, ultimately storing 46 kJ mol −1 (11 kcal mol −1 ) of photon energy.

Operando APXPS for direct probing of Li ion battery LCO electrode/electrolyte interface chemistry during lithiation/delithiation

The real-time interface chemistry between the lithium cobalt oxide (LCO) working electrode and the LiClO 4 /propylene carbonate (PC) electrolyte is investigated during lithiation/delithiation using dip-and-pull ambient pressure photoelectron spectroscopy (APXPS). The APXPS results appear to exhibit the seldom discussed Co 2+ state in the LCO structure, where the operando measurements indicate electron transfer among Co 2+ , Co 3+ , and Co 4+ states. Specifically, the lithiation of LCO reduces the Co 4+ state to both Co 3+ and Co 2+ states, where, as a function of voltage, reduction to the Co 2+ state is initially more pronounced followed by Co 3+ formation. In addition, a delay in surface delithiation is observed during the reverse potential steps. This is discussed in terms of overpotential at the interface measurement position as a consequence of the dip-and-pull setup for this experiment. Finally, the shifts in the apparent binding energies of the spectral features corresponding to the electrolyte and LCO at their interface show that the electrochemical potentials at delithiation voltage steps are different from the lithiation steps at the same applied voltages. This further explains the non-responsive delithiation. The BE shift observed from the LCO surface is argued to be dominantly due to the semi-conductive nature of the sample. Overall, this article shows the importance of operando APXPS for probing non-equilibrium states in battery electrodes for understanding electron transfer in the reactions.

Low-temperature access to active iron and iron/nickel nitrides as potential electrocatalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction

Low-temperature, scalable routes to transition metal nitride (TMN) nanoparticles are desirable for a wide range of applications, yet their synthesis typically requires high temperatures (>350 °C) and reactive gas environments (e.g., NH 3 or H 2 /N 2 ). Here, we report a colloidal synthesis of mono- and bimetallic TMN nanoparticles using preformed metal carbonyl clusters as precursors and urea or diethylenetriamine (DETA) as nitrogen sources. This strategy enables access to size-controlled, phase-pure ε-Fe 3 N x and Fe y Ni 3−y N nanoparticles at temperatures below 300 °C, without the need for flowing reactive gas atmospheres. By systematically varying nitrogen precursor, reaction temperature, and cluster identity, we achieve tunable nitrogen stoichiometry (x) and phase selectivity between N-rich and N-poor TMNs. Structural and magnetic characterization confirms clean decomposition of the precursors and phase formation consistent with controlled nitridation at the nanoscale. Preliminary electrochemical measurements in alkaline media demonstrate that these materials exhibit oxygen evolution reaction (OER) overpotentials comparable to RuO 2 , highlighting their viability for future electrocatalytic applications.

Mechanistic insights into CO 2 capture and electrochemical conversion in nonaqueous Na–CO 2 batteries

Developing efficient energy storage systems that capture and convert CO 2 is critical for mitigating carbon emissions. Here, we report a Na–CO 2 battery with ruthenium dioxide (RuO 2 ) cathode catalysts and propane-1,3-diamine (PDA) as an electrolyte additive to enhance CO 2 capture and conversion efficiency. The integration of CO 2 adsorption and electrochemical reduction facilitates activation of the inert CO 2 molecule and circumvents gas–solid–liquid ternary-phase reactions at the interface. We employed density functional theory (DFT) calculations to systematically unravel the reaction mechanisms and energetics governing CO 2 reduction, both with and without PDA. Our results reveal an energetically favorable pathway toward the formation of Na 2 CO 3 and C as final discharge products, rather than sodium oxalate (Na 2 C 2 O 4 ). The CO 2 –amine adduct facilitates charge transfer from PDA to CO 2 , which results in activation of CO 2 . The kinetics of CO 2 conversion and regeneration of PDA were found to be significantly enhanced on the RuO 2 surface compared to the bulk electrolyte. More importantly, pre-activation of CO 2 via the amine–CO 2 adduct lowers the total overpotential to 2.44 V, compared to 3.13 V without PDA. This study provides fundamental insights into CO 2 electroreduction in Na–CO 2 batteries and underscores the promise of electrolyte engineering for sustainable CO 2 utilization and high-performance energy storage.

Photo-driven oxidation of water on α-Fe{sub 2}O{sub 3} surfaces: An ab initio study

Adopting the theoretical scheme developed by the Nørskov group [see, for example, Nørskov et al., J. Phys. Chem. B 108, 17886 (2004)], we conducted a density functional theory study of photo-driven oxidation processes of water on various terminations of the clean hematite (α-Fe{sub 2}O{sub 3}) (0001) surface, explicitly taking into account the strong correlation among the 3d states of iron through the Hubbard U parameter. Six best-known terminations, namely, Fe − Fe −O{sub 3}− (we call S{sub 1}), O− Fe − Fe − (S{sub 2}), O{sub 2}− Fe − Fe −(S{sub 3}), O{sub 3}− Fe − Fe − (S{sub 4}), Fe −O{sub 3}− Fe − (S{sub 5}), and O− Fe −O{sub 3}−(S{sub 6}), are first exposed to water, the stability of resulting surfaces is investigated under photoelectrochemical conditions by considering different chemical reactions (and their reaction free energies) that lead to surfaces covered by O atoms or/and OH groups. Assuming that the water splitting reaction is driven by the redox potential for photogenerated holes with respect to the normal hydrogen electrode, U{sub VB}, at voltage larger than U{sub VB}, most 3-oxygen terminated substrates are stable. These results thus suggest that the surface, hydroxylated in the dark, should release protons under illumination. Considering the surface free energy of all the possible terminations shows that O{sub 3}–S{sub 5} and O{sub 3}–S{sub 1} are the most thermodynamically stable. While water oxidation process on the former requires an overpotential of 1.22 V, only 0.84 V is needed on the latter.

Active sites of ligand-protected Au{sub 25} nanoparticle catalysts for CO{sub 2} electroreduction to CO

Recent experimental studies have reported the electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide (CO{sub 2}) into CO at atomically precise negatively charged Au{sub 25}{sup −} nanoclusters. The studies showed CO{sub 2} conversion at remarkably low overpotentials, but the exact mechanisms and nature of the active sites remain unclear. We used first-principles density functional theory and continuum solvation models to examine the role of the cluster during electrochemical CO{sub 2} reduction and analyze the free energies of proposed intermediate species. Contrary to previous assumptions, our results show that the fully ligand protected cluster is not an active CO{sub 2} reduction catalyst because formation of the crucial carboxyl intermediate required very high electrochemical potentials. Instead, our calculations suggest that the reduction process likely occurs on a dethiolated gold site, and adsorbed carboxyl intermediate formation was significantly stabilized at dethiolated gold sites. These findings point to the crucial role of exposed metal sites during electrochemical CO{sub 2} reduction at gold nanocluster catalysts.

Relaxation of asymmetric crystallographic tilt: In situ x-ray diffraction studies of epitaxial electrodeposition of bismuth on GaAs (110)

High quality, epitaxial thin-films are key components of almost all modern electronic devices. During deposition, lattice mismatch between the substrate and the film generates elastic strain. The strain energy grows with film thickness until a defect is generated that relieves the strain. The strain relaxation mechanism is critical in epitaxial electrodeposition. Here, we study how a metal (bismuth) film growing via electrodeposition on a semiconductor substrate [GaAs(110)] relaxes the lattice mismatch-induced strain. Using in situ synchrotron-based X-ray techniques, we monitor the crystallographic orientation and grain size of the growing film during electrochemical deposition. We (1) confirm that a single crystallographic orientation of the film, with ($01\bar{1}8$) as the oriented plane, can be selected by controlling the overpotential, η, and (2) find that, after a threshold thickness is reached, the tilt angle varies monotonically with film thickness. Our data are consistent with the film relaxing the strain by forming low-energy, asymmetric tilt boundaries.

Magnetic and electrocatalytic properties of transition metal doped MoS 2 nanocrystals

In this paper, the magnetic and electrocatalytic properties of hydrothermally grown transition metal doped (10% of Co, Ni, Fe, and Mn) 2H-MoS 2 nanocrystals (NCs) with a particle size 25–30 nm are reported. The pristine 2H-MoS 2 NCs showed a mixture of canted anti-ferromagnetic and ferromagnetic behavior. While Co, Ni, and Fe doped MoS 2 NCs revealed room temperature ferromagnetism, Mn doped MoS 2 NCs showed room temperature paramagnetism, predominantly. The ground state of all the materials is found to be canted-antiferromagnetic phase. To study electrocatalytic performance for hydrogen evolution reaction, polarization curves were measured for undoped and the doped MoS 2 NCs. At the overpotential of η = –300 mV, the current densities, listed from greatest to least, are FeMoS 2 , CoMoS 2 , MoS 2 , NiMoS 2 , and MnMoS2, and the order of catalytic activity found from Tafel slopes is CoMoS2 > MoS 2 > NiMoS 2 > FeMoS 2 > MnMoS 2 . The increasing number of catalytically active sites in Co doped MoS 2 NCs might be responsible for their superior electrocatalytic activity. In conclusion, the present results show that the magnetic order-disorder behavior and catalytic activity can be modulated by choosing the suitable dopants in NCs of 2D materials.

Elementary kinetics of nitrogen electroreduction on Fe surfaces

Electrochemical ammonia synthesis could provide a sustainable and efficient alternative to the energy intensive Haber-Bosch process. Development of an active and selective N 2 electroreduction catalyst requires mechanism determination to aid in connecting catalyst composition and structure to performance. Density functional theory calculations are used to examine the elementary step energetics of associative N 2 reduction mechanisms on two low index Fe surfaces. Interfacial water molecules in the Heyrovsky-like mechanism help lower some of the elementary activation barriers. Electrode potential dependent barriers show that cathodic potentials below -1.5 V-RHE are necessary to give a significant rate of N 2 electroreduction. DFT barriers suggest a larger overpotential than expected based on elementary reaction free energies. Linear Brønsted-Evans-Polanyi relationships do not hold across N–H formation steps on these surfaces, further confirming that explicit barriers should be considered in DFT studies of the nitrogen reduction reaction.

Face-centered tetragonal (FCT) Fe and Co alloys of Pt as catalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR): A DFT study

Proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) are promising candidates for alternate energy conversion devices owing to their various advantages including high efficiency, reliability, and environmental friendliness. The performance of PEMFCs is fundamentally limited by the sluggish kinetics of the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) at the cathode. Various studies have addressed myriads of Pt-based alloys as potential catalysts for ORR. However, most of these studies only focus on the cubic-structured Pt-based alloys which require further improvements especially in terms of stability and required loading. We perform first-principle density functional theory calculations to explore Fe and Co alloys of Pt in a different face centered tetragonal (L1 0 ) geometry as potential catalysts for ORR. The work focuses on understanding the reaction mechanism of ORR by both dissociative and associative mechanisms on L1 0 –FePt/Pt(111) and L1 0 –CoPt/Pt(111) surfaces. The binding pattern of each reaction intermediate is studied along with the complete reaction free energy landscape as a function of Pt overlayers. The L1 0 –FePt/Pt(111) and L1 0 –CoPt/Pt(111) surfaces show higher calculated surface activity for ORR as compared to the native fcc Pt(111) surface. The decrease in the required overpotential (η) for the alloys with respect to the unstrained Pt(111) surface is found to be in the range (0.04 V–0.25 V) assuming the dissociative mechanism and (0.02 V–0.10 V) assuming the associative mechanism, where the variation depends on the thickness of Pt overlayers. We further correlate the binding behavior of the reaction intermediates to the applied biaxial strain on the Pt(111) surface with the help of a mechanical eigenforce model. The eigenforce model gives a (semi-) quantitative prediction of the binding energies of the ORR intermediates under applied biaxial strain. The numerical values of the limiting potential (U L ) obtained from the eigenforce model are found to be very close to ones obtained from electronic structure calculations (less than 0.1 V difference). Finally, the eigenforce model is further used to predict the ideal equi-biaxial strain range required on Pt(111) surfaces for optimum ORR activity.

Toward quantifying capacity losses due to solid electrolyte interphase evolution in silicon thin film batteries

To understand the origins of failure and limited cycle life in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), it is imperative to quantitatively link capacity-fading mechanisms to electrochemical and chemical processes. This is extremely challenging in real systems where capacity is lost during each cycle to both active material loss and solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) evolution, two indistinguishable contributions in traditional electrochemical measurements. Here, we have used a model system in combination with (1) precision measurements of the overall Coulombic efficiency via electrochemical experiments and (2) x-ray reflectivity measurements of the active material losses. The model system consisted of a 515 Å thick amorphous silicon (a-Si) thin film on silicon carbide in half-cell geometry using a carbonate electrolyte with LiPF6 salt. This approach allowed us to quantify the capacity lost during each cycle due to SEI evolution. Combined with electrochemical analysis, we identify SEI growth as the major contribution to capacity fading. Specifically, the continued SEI growth results in increasing overpotentials due to increased SEI resistance, and this leads to lower extent of lithiation when the cutoff voltage is reached during lithiation. Our results suggest that SEI grows more with increased time spent at low voltages where electrolyte decomposition is favored. Finally, we extracted a proportionality constant for SEI growth following a parabolic growth law. Our methodology allows for the quantitative determination of lithium-ion loss mechanisms in LIBs by separately tracking lithium ions within the active materials and the SEI and offers a powerful method of quantitatively understanding LIB loss mechanisms.
