Here, a novel composite catalyst of Co_(1-x)S embedded in porous dodecahedron carbon hybrid was synthesized by a two-step conversion protocol of a cobalt-based metal-organic framework(ZIF-67). The porous dodecahedron Co_(1-x)S@C composite catalyst was prepared by direct oxidation of ZIF-67 followed by sulfurization reaction. The Co_(1-x)S@C composite exhibit superior OER performance, including a low overpotential of 260 mV for 10 mA/cm2, a small Tafel slope of ~85 mV/dec, outstanding stability over 80 h and almost 100% Faradaic efficiency. The various material characterizations indicate that the excellent activity and strong stability of Co_(1-x)S@C might be attributed to good conductivity of Co_(1-x)S, mesoporous nanostructure, and synergistic effect of Co_(1-x)S encapsulated within porous carbon.

This impressive performance was attributed to the high charge transfer rate, large specific surface area, and synergistic effects of the cobalt and iron centers.展开更多

However, most of their performances are still inferior to state-of-the-art precious metals especially for Ru and Ir.Herein, we apply a continuous ion exchange method and further hydrothermal treatment to synthesize the flake-like Ag-CoSO4 nanohybrids beginning from Co-BTC (BTC:benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylic acid) metal-organic frameworks precursor. The catalyst exhibits superior OER performance under the alkaline electrolyte solution (a low overpotential of 282 mV at 10 mA/cm2 in 1 mol/L KOH), which is even better than RuO2 due to the improved conductivity and rapid electrons transfer process via introducing small amount of Ag. The existence of Ag in the hybrids is beneficial for increasing the Co(IV) concentration, thus promoting the *OOH intermediate formation process. Besides, due to the very low requirement of Ag content (lower than 1 atom%), the cost of the catalyst is also limited. This work provides a new insight for designing of inexpensive OER catalysts with high performance and low cost.展开更多

文摘Pt-based materials are the benchmarked catalysts in the cathodic hydrogen evolution reaction(HER)of water splitting;the prohibitive cost and scarcity of Pt immensely impede the commercialization of hydrogen energy.Ru has aroused significant concern because of its Pt-like activity and much lower price.However,it’s still a top priority to minimize the Ru loading and pursue the most superior cost performance.
文摘Binary composites(ZIF-67/rGO)were synthesized by one-step precipitation method using cobalt nitrate hexahydrate as metal source,2-methylimidazole as organic ligand,and reduced graphene oxide(rGO)as carbon carrier.Then Ru3+was introduced for ion exchange,and the porous Ru-doped Co_(3)O_(4)/rGO(Ru-Co_(3)O_(4)/rGO)composite electrocatalyst was prepared by annealing.The phase structure,morphology,and valence state of the catalyst were analyzed by X-ray powder diffraction(XRD),scanning electron microscope(SEM),transmission electron microscopy(TEM),and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS).In 1 mol·L^(-1)KOH,the oxygen evolution reaction(OER)performance of the catalyst was measured by linear sweep voltammetry,cyclic voltammetry,and chronoamperometry.The results show that the combination of Ru doping and rGO provides a fast channel for collaborative electron transfer.At the same time,rGO as a carbon carrier can improve the electrical conductivity of Ru-Co_(3)O_(4)particles,and the uniformly dispersed nanoparticles enable the reactants to diffuse freely on the catalyst.The results showed that the electrochemical performance of Ru-Co_(3)O_(4)/rGO was much better than that of Co_(3)O_(4)/rGO,and the overpotential of Ru-Co_(3)O_(4)/rGO was 363.5 mV at the current density of 50 mA·cm^(-2).

文摘The establishment of efficient oxygen evolution electrocatalysts is of great value but also challenging.Herein,a durable metal–organic framework(MOF)with minor atomically dispersed ruthenium and an optimized electronic structure is constructed as an efficient electrocatalyst.Significantly,the obtained NiRu_(0.08)-MOF with doping Ru only needs an overpotential of 187 mV at 10 mA cm^(-2) with a Tafel slop of 40 mV dec^(-1) in 0.1M KOH for the oxygen evolution reaction,and can work continuously for more than 300 h.Ultrahigh Ru mass activity is achieved,reaching 56.7 Ag^(-1)_(Ru) at an overpotential of 200 mV,which is 36 times higher than that of commercial RuO_(2).X-ray adsorption spectroscopy and density function theory calculations reveal that atomically dispersed ruthenium on metal sites in MOFs is expected to optimize the electronic structure of nickel sites,thus improving the conductivity of the catalyst and optimizing the adsorption energy of intermediates,resulting in significant optimization of electrocatalytic performance.This study could provide a new avenue for the design of efficient and stable MOF electrocatalysts.
文摘The development of novel porous materials have attracted significant attention owing to its possible application in several fields.In this study,we designed a novel covalent organic framework‐metal‐organic framework(COF‐MOF)material through an in‐situ ligand self‐assembly method.The in‐situ modified ligands not only act as nucleation sites to form Ti‐MOF,but also as a channel to rapidly transfer photogenerated electrons without introducing additional chemical bonds.The photocatalytic hydrogen production rate achieved over B‐CTF‐Ti‐MOF(1:1)was 1975μmol·g^(–1)·h^(–1) with an apparent quantum efficiency of 4.76%,which is 11.8 times higher than that of the pure CTF‐1.In addition,compared with the sample prepared by separating the ligands(CTF‐1/Ti‐MOF),B‐CTF‐Ti‐MOF shows excellent activity and stability.Finally,a reasonable photocatalytic mechanism was proposed using the results of electrochemical tests and spectral analyses.This study provides a universal method for the construction of highly efficient and stable COF/MOF materials with excellent properties.

文摘Covalent organic frameworks(COFs)with high crystallinity and flexible designability have been consid-ered as promising candidates for photocatalytic hydrogen evolution.However,the existence of unpropi-tious exciton effects in COFs leads to poor charge separation,and thus results in low photocatalytic effi-ciency.Herein,to improve the photoelectron migration efficiency,we designed a 2D/2D organic/inorganic direct Z-scheme COF-based heterojunction(TpTAP/CdS),by the in-situ growing of CdS nanosheets on the COF copolymerized via 2,4,6-tris(4-aminophenyl)-1,3,5-triazine(TAP)and 1,3,5-triformylphloroglucinol(Tp).The femtosecond transient absorption(fs-TA)decay kinetics of TpTAP-COF and TpTAP/CdS further reveal the processes of shallow electron trapping and the recombination of the free photogenerated electron-hole pairs.In particular,the transient absorption traces for TpTAP-COF and TpTAP/CdS normal-ized to the photoinduced absorption peak can effectively verify the Z-scheme charge transfer between TpTAP-COF and CdS,which could enhance the charge mobility and separation,thus reducing the pho-tocorrosion of CdS.Additionally,ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy(UPS),in-situ X-ray photoelec-tron spectroscopy(XPS),transient photovoltage measurements,and electron spin resonance(ESR)spec-troscopy further confirm the establishment of the internal electric field(IEF).This work demonstrates the important role of COFs in the construction of 2D/2D organic/inorganic direct Z-scheme heterojunctions and offers a new avenue to explain the criticality of dynamics of the photogenerated carriers for the construction of Z-scheme heterojunctions.

文摘Developing active, robust, and cost-efficient electrocatalysts is critical for oxygen evolution reaction(OER). Here, a novel composite catalyst of Co_(1-x)S embedded in porous dodecahedron carbon hybrid was synthesized by a two-step conversion protocol of a cobalt-based metal-organic framework(ZIF-67). The porous dodecahedron Co_(1-x)S@C composite catalyst was prepared by direct oxidation of ZIF-67 followed by sulfurization reaction. The Co_(1-x)S@C composite exhibit superior OER performance, including a low overpotential of 260 mV for 10 mA/cm2, a small Tafel slope of ~85 mV/dec, outstanding stability over 80 h and almost 100% Faradaic efficiency. The various material characterizations indicate that the excellent activity and strong stability of Co_(1-x)S@C might be attributed to good conductivity of Co_(1-x)S, mesoporous nanostructure, and synergistic effect of Co_(1-x)S encapsulated within porous carbon. This work provides a novel strategy for designing and synthesizing advanced composite

文摘The ferrocene(Fc)-based metal-organic frameworks(MOFs)are regarded as compelling platforms for the construction of efficient and robust oxygen evolution reaction(OER)electrocatalysts due to their superior conductivity and flexible electronic structure.Herein,density functional theory simulations were addressed to predict the electronic structure regulations of CoFc-MOF by nickel doping,which demonstrated that the well-proposed CoNiFc-MOFs delivered a small energy barrier,promoted conductivity,and well-regulated d-band center.Inspired by these,a series of sea-urchin-like CoNiFc-MOFs were successfully synthesized via a facile solvothermal method.Moreover,the synchrotron X-ray and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy measurements manifested that the introduction of nickel could tailor the electronic structure of the catalyst and induce the directional transfer of electrons,thus optimizing the rate-determining step of^(*)O→^(*)OOH during the OER process and yielding decent overpotentials of 209 and 252 mV at 10 and 200 mA cm^(−2),respectively,with a small Tafel slope of 39 mV dec^(−1).This work presents a new paradigm for developing highly efficient and durable MOF-based electrocatalysts for OER.
文摘Oxygen evolution from water driven by electrocatalysis or photocatalysis poses a significant challenge as it requires the use of efficient electro-/photo-catalysts to drive the four-electron oxygen evolution reaction(OER).Herein,we report the development of an effective strategy for the in situ chemical transformation of Fe-based bimetallic MIL-88 metal-organic frameworks(MOFs)into corresponding bimetallic hydroxides,which are composed of amorphous ultrasmall nanoparticles and afford an abundance of catalytically active sites.Optimized MOF-derived NiFe-OH-0.75 catalyst coated on glassy carbon electrodes achieved a current density of 10 mA cm^(-2)in the electrocatalytic OER with a small overpotential of 270 mV,which could be decreased to 235 mV when loading the catalysts on a nickel foam substrate.Moreover,these MOF-derived Fe-based bimetallic hydroxides can be used as efficient cocatalysts when combined with suitable photosensitizers for photocatalytic water oxidation.

文摘The development of high efficiency and stable electrocatalysts for oxygen evolution is critical for energy storage and conversion systems. Herein, a series of Co/Fe bimetal-organic frameworks (MOFs) were fabricated using a facile ultrasonic method at room temperature, as electrocatalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in alkaline solution. The Co2Fe-MOF exhibited an overpotential of 280 mV at a current density of 10 mA cm^-2, a low Tafel slope of 44.7 mV dec^-1, and long-term stability over 12000 s in 1 mol L^-1 KOH. This impressive performance was attributed to the high charge transfer rate, large specific surface area, and synergistic effects of the cobalt and iron centers.

文摘The Liao-Ji belt(LJB)is one of the Paleoproterozoic tectonic belts located in the North China Craton.A large number of Paleoproterozoic meta-volcanic-sedimentary rock and intrusive rocks are preserved in the LJB,which provide reliable carriers for the study of the Paleoproterozoic tectonic evolution of the North China Craton.The Paleoproterozoic intrusive rock in the LJB can be divided into the following seven types:syenogranite,quartz diorite,porphyry granite,migmatitic granite,sye-nite,metamorphic plutonic rock,and granitic pegmatite and metagabbro(metamorphic diabase).Zir-con U-Pb dating of 15 samples from intrusive rocks was carried out in this study.The chronology framework of the Paleoproterozoic intrusive rock in the LJB was established,and the magmatism of intrusive rocks can be divided into three stages:2200 to 2110,2010 to 1937,1900 to 1820 Ma.The chronological framework supported the evolution model of subduction accretionary arc-continent colli-sion in the LJB effectively.Combined with previous geochemical work,it was a passive continental margin environment at approximately 2200 Ma,and then transformed into and active continental margin.The bimodal intrusive rocks between 2180 and 2150 Ma indicated a back-arc tension envi-ronment which lasted until approximately 2110 Ma with a large number of basic intrusive rocks.And then the back-arc basin began to contract and the magmatic activities were reduced,with only a small number of intrusive rock activities occurring at approximately 2040,2010 and 1937 Ma.After the orogenic activities,there was a post-orogenic extension stage from 1900 to 1820 Ma.Magmatic activi-ties caused by the environmental extension started to occur more frequently and subsequently resulted in the large-scale intrusive rocks in eastern Liaoning.

文摘Development of high-efficiency and low-cost electrocatalyst for oxygen evolution reaction(OER) is very important for use at alkaline water electrolysis.Metal-organic frameworks(MOF) provide a rich platform for designing multi-functional materials due to their controllable composition and ultra-high surface area.Herein,we report our findings in the development of amorphous nickel-cobalt bimetal-organic framework nanosheets with crystalline motifs via a simple "ligands hybridization engineering" strategy.These complexes' ligands contain inorganic ligands(H_2 O and NO_3) and organic ones,hexamethylenetetramine(HMT).Further,we investigated a series of mixed-metal with multi-ligands materials as OER catalysts to explore their possible advantages and features.It is found that the Ni doping is an effective approach for optimizing the electronic configuration,changing lattice ordering degree,and thus enhancing activities of HMT-based electrocatalysts.Also,the crystalline-amorphous boundaries of various HMTbased electrocatalyst can be easily controlled by simply changing amounts of Ni-precursor added.As a result,the optimized ultrathin(Co,0.3 Ni)-HMT nanosheets can reach a current density of 10 mA cm^(-2)at low overpotential of 330 mV with a small Tafel slope of 66 mV dec^(-1).Our findings show that the electronic structure changes induced by Ni doping,2 D nanosheet structure,and MOF frameworks with multiligands compositions play critical roles in the enhancement of the kinetically sluggish electrocatalytic OER.The present study emphasizes the importance of ligands and active metals via hybridization for exploring novel efficient electrocatalysts.
文摘First-row transition metal compounds have been widely explored as oxygen evolution reaction(OER)electrocatalysts due to their impressive performance in this application.However,the activity trends of these electrocatalysts remain elusive due to the effect of inevitable iron impurities in alkaline electrolytes on the OER;the inhomogeneous structure of iron-based(oxy)hydroxides further complicates this situation.Bimetallic metal-organic frameworks(MOFs)have the advantages of well-defined and uniform atomic structures and the tunable coordination environments,allowing the structure-activity relationships of bimetallic sites to be precisely explored.Therefore,we prepared a series of iron-based bimetallic MOFs(denoted as Fe_(2)M-MIL-88B,M=Mn,Co,or Ni)and systematically compared their electrocatalytic performance in the OER in this work.All the bimetallic MOFs exhibited higher OER activity than their monometallic iron-based counterpart,with their activity following the order FeNi>FeCo>FeMn.In an alkaline electrolyte,Fe2Ni-MIL-88B showed the lowest overpotential to achieve a current density of 10 mA cm^(–2)(307 mV)and the smallest Tafel slope(38 mV dec^(–1)).The experimental and calculated results demonstrated that iron and nickel exhibited the strongest coupling effect in the series,leading to modification of the electronic structure,which is crucial for tuning the electrocatalytic activity.

文摘Cobalt-based nanomaterials have been intensively explored as one of the most promising noble-metal-free oxygen evolution reaction (OER) electrocatalysts. However, most of their performances are still inferior to state-of-the-art precious metals especially for Ru and Ir.Herein, we apply a continuous ion exchange method and further hydrothermal treatment to synthesize the flake-like Ag-CoSO4 nanohybrids beginning from Co-BTC (BTC:benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylic acid) metal-organic frameworks precursor. The catalyst exhibits superior OER performance under the alkaline electrolyte solution (a low overpotential of 282 mV at 10 mA/cm2 in 1 mol/L KOH), which is even better than RuO2 due to the improved conductivity and rapid electrons transfer process via introducing small amount of Ag. The existence of Ag in the hybrids is beneficial for increasing the Co(IV) concentration, thus promoting the *OOH intermediate formation process. Besides, due to the very low requirement of Ag content (lower than 1 atom%), the cost of the catalyst is also limited. This work provides a new insight for designing of inexpensive OER catalysts with high performance and low cost.
