The coexistence of antibiotics and hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) in aquatic environments complicates remediation due to their incompatible transformation pathways. Herein, a Co/N-doped carbon catalyst (CoNC) was prepared to activate peroxymonosulfate (PMS) for co-removal of norfloxacin (NOR) and Cr(VI), achieving 91.69% NOR degradation (k obs = 0.3135 min −1 ) within 60 min and near-complete Cr(VI) reduction (k obs = 0.5098 min −1 ) within 20 min. Mechanistic analysis revealed that NOR degradation was mainly governed by singlet oxygen ( 1 O 2 ) and electron transfer mediated non-radical pathways, while Cr(VI) reduction was facilitated through interfacial electron transfer. Electrons released during NOR oxidation enhanced Cr(VI) reduction and promoted the Co(II)/Co(III) cycle, maintaining PMS activation and 1 O 2 generation. Co–N coordination sites promoted 1 O 2 formation, and the N-doped carbon matrix mediates interfacial electron transfer. This work highlights the potential of CoNC/PMS system for efficient treatment of wastewater co-contaminated with antibiotics and Cr(VI), providing insights into coupled oxidative-reductive mechanisms.

Designing highly active and durable electrocatalysts towards oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) plays a paramount importance for proton exchange membrane fuel cells. Pt-based binary alloys Pt-M (M = 3d-transition metals) possessing excellent electronic and geometric properties have received increasing interests as highly active electrocatalysts. Herein, we report a series of Pt x Co/C ( x = 1, 2, 3) catalysts by a facile one-pot soft-chemistry method. In the acidic conditions, the mass activities of PtCo/C, Pt 2 Co/C and Pt 3 Co/C are 0.526, 0.462 and 0.441 A·mg Pt −1 , which are 2.60, 2.31 and 2.22 times higher than that of Pt/C (0.200 A·mg Pt −1 ), respectively. The specific activities of PtCo/C, Pt 2 Co/C and Pt 3 Co/C are 706.59, 679.41 and 801.83 μA·cm −2 , which are accordingly 2.89, 2.76 and 3.28 times higher than that of Pt/C (244.75 μA·cm −2 ). Notably, Pt 3 Co/C shows a remarkable durability. After 5000 cycles of the accelerated durability testing, the mass activity and specific activity of Pt 3 Co/C catalyst are 2.47 and 3.80 times higher than that of the commercial Pt/C, respectively. The improved ORR activity and durability can be ascribed to the synergistic interaction between Pt and Co. Graphical

The synthesis of renewable fuel by CO 2 reduction is a promising research direction. The CO 2 reduction reaction may be promoted using photothermal catalysis to achieve efficient CO 2 conversion under mild conditions. In this context, designing efficient catalysts is urgent. In this work, ABO 3 (A = La, Ce; B = Ni, Co, Fe) perovskite catalysts were prepared by coprecipitation and calcination . Experimental results show that the A-site ions and B-site ions in ABO 3 perovskite nanomaterials have a great influence on their structure and photothermal catalytic performance. Among them, the LaNiO 3 catalyst shows excellent photothermal catalytic performance in the conversion of CO 2 to CO and CH 4 , which can generate 0.16 mmol g −1 h −1 CO and 1.38 mmol g −1 h −1 CH 4 at low CO 2 and H 2 concentrations. For the LaNiO 3 sample, its enhancement of catalytic performance mainly benefits from the largest number of active sites, the fastest carrier transport rate, and a relatively suitable band edge position compared with other catalysts. This study proposes a new method for improving the activity and selectivity of photothermal CO 2 reduction and offers a new direction for the recycling of waste gas.

Herein, Pd and Pt-catalysts loaded on non-oxide support (g-C 3 N 4 ) were prepared and compared for CO and toluene co-oxidation, and Pt/C 3 N 4 presented excellent catalytic performance. A series of characterizations including TEM, H 2 -TPR, O 2 -TPR and XPS etc., indicated that Pt/C 3 N 4 exhibited the smaller Pt NPs, better low temperature reduction ability, more active oxygen species and positive charged Pt species, which could account for its better catalytic performance. Additionally, DFT calculations further confirmed that the lower activation barrier of O 2 and the higher adsorption for CO and toluene triggered the efficient CO and toluene degradation over Pt/C 3 N 4 . Interestingly, the introduction of H 2 O (10.0 vol%) suppressed the catalytic performance of Pd/C 3 N 4 , while expedited CO and toluene oxidation over Pt/C 3 N 4 , which was revealed by DFT calculations. Furthermore, the difference in degradation intermediates, corresponding distributions and toxicity generated during toluene oxidation under different conditions over Pd/C 3 N 4 and Pt/C 3 N 4 were exposed. Compared with Pd/C 3 N 4 , less variety, toxicity and content of intermediates produced over Pt/C 3 N 4 . This work would inspire many rational designs of supported noble metal catalysts for environmentally friendly catalysis.

Trace precious metal modifying inexpensive transition metal catalyst is an effective method to optimize the activity, stability and cost of hydrogen evolution catalysts. In this feature work, self-supporting sandwich structured Co–Pt–Co/CC sheets were assembled on a carbon cloth (CC) by a simple electrodeposition/chemical displacement alternate growth method. Surprisingly, only 2.1 wt % Pt sandwich layer greatly improved the electrochemical activity of Co–Pt–Co/CC, which delivered a current density of 10 mA cm −2 at an overpotential as low as 46 mV. Importantly, its overpotential is almost 6 times lower than that of Co/CC, and is comparable to that of Pt–Co/CC. After well-tuning the sandwich layer, the optimized Co–Pt–Co/CC exhibited a higher current density and better long-term durability compared with Pt–Co/CC and Co/CC, which can be attributed to the unique tissue-structure and electronic structure optimization of the Co–Pt–Co/CC by the Pt sandwich layer.

Heteroatom modified catalyst applying for the two-electron oxygen reduction reaction has the potential application for efficient on-site production of H 2 O 2 . At present, state of the art catalyst synthesis is often energy-intensive and tends to destroy the original structure of heteroatoms. Based on the above considerations, Co-O, pyrrolic N structures co-modified graphite felt catalyst (Co-PDA-GF) is successfully synthesized by a simple two-step electrochemical method . Interestingly, the introduction of Co 2+ during the dopamine (DA) polymerization process changes the surface morphology of GF from a “thin-film” like to an “ant-nest” like. The cumulative H 2 O 2 concentration achieves 421 mg L −1 in 6 h test time, which is 16 times higher than that of R-GF, and the Methylene blue (MB) in-situ removal rate reaches 97.2% within 3 h. The enhanced H 2 O 2 yield of Co-PDA-GF catalyst is attributed to the increased oxygen-containing functional groups (-COOH, -C-O-C) and defect structures , and most importantly, Co-O and pyrrolic N synergistic modulation effects on local electronic modulation. This work provides new insights on DA polymerization morphology control and designing of high-efficient 2e − ORR catalyst with a low-energy method.

To develop green and renewable energy, subtle design and synthesis of non-precious metal catalysts with low-price, high-efficiency, and robust stability are of paramount significance for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). In this study, we synthesized graphitic carbon wrapped Co on Zn, Co, N-codoped 3D tremella-like carbon with abundant nanocages (G-Co/Zn, Co, N-TCs) by one-step coordination pyrolysis in the presence of azacytosine. The pyrolysis temperature and Zn/Co feeding ratio were carefully investigated. Integrating the unique structure and synergistic effect of the bimetals , the resulting G-Co/Zn, Co, N-TCs exhibited remarkable ORR activity ( E onset = 0.99 V; E 1/2 = 0.88 V vs. RHE), and excellent stability (only 13 mV negative shift of E 1/2 after scanning 2000 cycles), outperforming the control groups and commercial Pt/C under alkaline condition. This research presents some precious viewpoints for fabricating advanced N- and transition metal-dual doped carbon electrocatalysts in energy conversion and storage correlated devices.

Summary Highly stable and cost-effective electrocatalysts are of importance in regulating energy conversion efficiency and commercial feasibility of direct methanol fuel cells (DMFCs). So far, integrating transition metals into Pt-based catalysts to enhance their catalytic performances for methanol electro-oxidation reaction (MOR) at the anode of DMFCs has received significant interest. This study witnessed the first time of depositing Pt 3 Co 1 alloy nanoparticles (NPs) on robust Ti 0.9 Ir 0.1 O 2 supports utilizing a modified reduction method that used NaBH 4 as a reducing agent in the absence of surfactants or stabilizers. This novel combination not only reduces the usage of costly and easily-deactivated Pt but also significantly improves catalytic activity and poisoning tolerance for MOR. Regarding electrocatalytic performance, the onset potential and the mass activity of the Pt 3 Co 1 /Ti 0.9 Ir 0.1 O 2 catalyst are ~0.1 V vs NHE and 316.16 mA/mg Pt , respectively, which are 4.5-fold lower and 1.5-fold higher than the corresponding figures for the commercial Pt/C (E-TEK) catalyst, ~0.45 vs NHE and 206.83 mA/mg Pt , indicating superior catalytic activity and CO-tolerance of the former over the latter. Furthermore, the superior anti-poisoning ability and stability of the Pt 3 Co 1 /Ti 0.9 Ir 0.1 O 2 catalyst are demonstrated by its 2.2-fold higher I f /I b ratio in MOR and lower degradation rate in the 60-min chronoamperometry (CA) and 3000-cycle scanning tests than the Pt/C counterpart. These enhancements could be abscribed to synergistic influence between the Pt-Co alloy NPs and the robust Ti 0.9 Ir 0.1 O 2 support. The addition of Co into the catalyst to promote removal of Pt-poisoning species as well as the use of highly corrosion-resistant Ir-doped TiO 2 as a catalyst support play a decisive role in boosting electrochemical behaviors of the Pt 3 Co 1 / Ti 0.9 Ir 0.1 O 2 catalyst. Generally, the success of this work in synthesizing high-performance Pt 3 Co 1 /Ti 0.9 Ir 0.1 O 2 catalyst could serve as groundwork for further development of TiO 2 -based material supported bimetallic catalysts for applications in the electrochemical catalysis field.

Transition metal supported N-doped carbon (M-N-C) catalysts for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) are viewed as the promising candidate to replace Pt-group metal (PGM) for proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs). However, the stability of M-N-C is extremely challenging due to the demetalation, H 2 O 2 attack, etc. in the strongly oxidative conditions of PEMFCs. In this study, we demonstrate the universal effect of Zn on promoting the stability of atomically dispersed M-N x /C (M = Co, Fe, Mn) catalysts and the enhancement mechanism is unveiled for the first time. The best-performing dual-metal-site Zn-Co-N-C catalyst exhibits a high half-wave potential ( E 1/2 ) value of 0.81 V vs. reversible hydrogen electrode (RHE) in acid and outstanding durability with no activity decay after 15,000 accelerated degradation test (ADT) cycles at 60 °C, surpassing most reported Co-based PGM-free catalysts in acid media. For comparison, the Co-N-C in the absence of Zn suffers from a rapid degradation after ADT due to the demetalation and higher H 2 O 2 yield. X-ray adsorption spectroscopy (XAS) and density functional theory (DFT) calculations suggest the more negative formation energy (by 1.2 eV) and increased charge transfer of Zn-Co dual-site structure compared to Co-N-C could strength the Co-N bonds against the demetalation and the optimized d-band center accounts for the improved ORR kinetics.

Heterostructured materials favoring synergism, efficient charge transfer, and abundant active sites have aroused enormous interests for water electrolysis. Here heterogeneous Co@CoO encapsulated in P, N co-doped carbon nanofibers supported on carbon cloth (Co@CoO-PNC/CC) has been prepared to pursue attractive synergism for the application of pH-tolerant catalyst for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in both alkaline and neutral solutions. The prepared Co@CoO-PNC/CC exhibits advanced OER performances, generating a current density of 10 mA cm −2 at overpotential of 289 mV in alkaline media and 371 mV in neutral media. The high OER activity can be assigned to the synergistic effect of abundant active sites and enhanced charge transfer between Co and CoO, as well as the specific P, N co-doped carbon nanofiber architecture.

Transition metal phosphide based orange-like Pd@Co@P nanoparticles supported on reduced graphene oxide (Pd@Co@P/rGO) have been synthesized by a one-pot co-reduction at room temperature using methylamine borane (MeAB) as the reducing agent. The prepared Pd@Co@P/rGO nanoparticles were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscope (TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), selected area electron diffraction (SAED) and confocal Raman microscopy (Raman). Compared with Pd/rGO and Pd@Co/rGO, the Pd@Co@P/rGO catalyst has higher catalytic activity for the hydrolytic production of ammonia borane (AB) with the turnover frequency value (TOF) of 127.57 min −1 and the activation energy of 39.05 kJ mol −1 . This excellent catalytic performance may be caused by the orange-like structure and good dispersion of Pd@Co@P/rGO nanoparticles, and the synergistic electron interactions between palladium , cobalt, and phosphorus.

In the present study, three types of specific solid, core–shell, and hollow structured cobalt and iron co-doped MoS2 nanocubes (denoted as s-Co-Fe-MoSx, c-Co-Fe-MoSx, and h-Co-Fe-MoSx) are controllably synthesized for the first time by regulating the reactant mass ratios. The prepared Co-Fe-MoSx nanocubes can function as a counter electrode in dye-sensitized and perovskite solar cells (DSCs and PSCs) and a working electrode in a supercapacitor. In the DSC system, the c-Co-Fe-MoSx nanocubes exhibit the maximum catalytic activity to the Co3+/2+ redox couple regeneration, and the device achieves a power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 8.69%, significantly higher than the devices using s-Co-Fe-MoSx (6.61%) and h-Co-Fe-MoSx (7.63%) counter electrodes. Similarly, all of the prepared Co-Fe-MoSx nanocubes show decent activity in PSCs and the device using the c-Co-Fe-MoSx counter electrode achieves the highest PCE of 6.88%. It is worth noting that, as the supercapacitor working electrode, the h-Co-Fe-MoSx exhibits a specific capacitance of 85.4 F g–1, significantly higher than the parallel values achieved by the s-Co-Fe-MoSx and c-Co-Fe-MoSx electrodes under identical conditions.
