Published: June 2009

A closer look: Investigation of the reduction properties of a single Fischer-Tropsch catalyst particle, using in situ scanning transmission X-ray microscopy with spatial resolution of 35 nm, reveals a heterogeneous distribution of Fe(0), Fe(2+), and Fe(3+) species. Regions of different reduction properties are defined and explained on the basis of local chemical interactions and catalyst morphology.

Developing highly efficient and cost-competitive electrocatalysts for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), which can be applied to hydrogen production by water splitting, is of great significance in the future of the zero-carbon economy. Here, by means of first-principles calculations, we have scrutinized the HER catalytic capacity of single-atom catalysts (SACs) by embedding transition-metal atoms in the C and Mo vacancies of a tetragonal MoC slab, where the transition-metal atoms refer to Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni and Cu. All the MoC-based SACs exhibit excellent electrical conductivity, which is favorable to charge transfer during HER.

In the electrocatalytic (EC) degradation process, challenges such as inefficient mass transfer, suboptimal mineralization rates, and limited current efficiency have restricted its broader application. To overcome these obstacles, this study synthesized spherical particle electrodes (FeNi@BC) with superior electrocatalytic performance using a bio-inspired preparation method. A three-dimensional electrocatalytic oxidation system based on FeNi@BC electrode, EC/FeNi@BC, showed excellent degradation efficiency of sulfamethoxazole (SMX), reaching 0.

The bi-transition-metal interstitial compounds (BTMICs) are promising for water electrolysis. The previous BTMICs are usually composed of irregular particles. Here, this work shows the synthesis of novel 1D CoMoC-based heterojunction nanowires (1D Co/CoMoC) with diameters about 50 nm and a length-to-diameter ratio about 20 for efficient water electrolysis.
