Catalysts with high oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) performances are crucial to the development of lithium-oxygen batteries (LOBs), which aim to promote Li2O2 deposition and decomposition and then avoid the active site passivation. Considering the metallic Ag possessing good electrical conductivity and excellent catalytic activity and perovskite oxides exhibiting high abundance, an easily tunable structure, and excellent intrinsically catalytic activity, we adopt the ultraviolet light to realize the deposition of Ag nanoparticles on the La0.6Sr0.4Fe0.9Mn0.1O3 (LSFM) substrate as a high-performance cathode for LOBs. The results confirm that the synergetic effect of Ag nanoparticle decoration and the La0.6Sr0.4Fe0.9Mn0.1O3 substrate could dramatically improve the electronic conductivity and ORR/OER kinetics of the nanohybrids. Ag@LSFM hybrids with abundant active sites and considerable electronic conductivity promote the deposition of a thinner discharge product film, and the corresponding LOBs deliver high discharge capacity (12 477 mAh g–1), a small gap between charge and discharge potentials (∼1.3 V), and high cycling stability (147 cycles). Overall, the study suggests that such a bifunctional catalyst is a promising candidate in LOBs.

The fabrication of qualified catalysts is a key issue to implement gas-phase aerobic alcohol oxidation but necessarily requires understanding the structures of catalytic active sites and the supply of active oxygen species. Herein, we present one example of the Ag–CoO/Ti- powder catalyst for gas-phase benzyl alcohol aerobic oxidation. The first interesting observation is that the Ag–Co3O4 ensembles on the fresh catalyst could be transformed into Ag–CoO due to the presence of reductive benzyl alcohol. The preferred catalyst with 3 wt% Ag and 3 wt% CoO exhibits 93% benzyl alcohol conversion and 99% benzaldehyde selectivity at a weight hourly space velocity of 20 h−1 and a temperature of 240 °C. The structures of Ag–CoO ensembles and oxygen species supply were probed and identified by electron microscopy and other spectroscopy techniques in combination with temperature-programmed thermal analyses, pulse experiments, and kinetic studies. In nature, the oxygen species is generated at the Ag–CoO interfacial sites in the form of atomic oxygen with appropriate chemisorption strength on these sites to achieve a high oxidation activity of benzyl alcohol. Moreover, the Co3O4 ↔ CoO cycle is promoted by Ag at low temperature such as 240 °C to endow the Ag–CoO ensembles with excellent catalytic performance.

O 2 (M=Zr, Ce) was prepared by urea gelation/co-precipitation method, and characterized by N 2 adsorption, XRD and UV-vis spectra. UV irradiation greatly enhanced the adsorptive capacity and selectivity of TiO 2 -ZrO 2 for organosulfur in model oil because organosulfur compounds were first photocatalytically oxidized to sulfoxides and sulfones over TiO 2 -ZrO 2 , which were then selectively adsorbed on the bifunctional material due to much higher polarities of generated sulfoxides and sulfones. The Ti/Zr molar ratio and calcination temperature were optimized to 5 : 5 and 500 °C with the sulfur removal of 99.6% after reaction for 2 h under UV irradiation. After adding 25 wt% toluene into model oil, the sulfur removal could still reach 97.2% after reaction for 7 h. TiO 2 -ZrO 2 could be well regenrated by washing with acetonitrile followed by thermal treatment in air.

Introducing electron-rich nitrogen atoms to ordered mesoporous carbons (OMC) as supports for noble metal catalysts, not only improves the hydrophilic properties of a mesoporous carbon surface, but also enhances the coordination and binding abilities of metal ion. In the present work, nitrogen-doped ordered mesoporous carbons (NOMCs) were successfully fabricated via a facile hydrothermal self-assembly. The prepared NOMCs were characterized through powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherm. The analyses demonstrated that the NOMCs prepared at a pyrolysis temperature of 750°C possessed an ordered 2D hexagonal mesoporous structure, a high graphitization degree, large surface area, and a well-distributed pore size. In particular, NOMCs could anchor Pd nanoparticles uniformly because of the introducing N atoms with strong electronegativity, which were selected as efficient catalysts for the partial oxidation of benzyl alcohol to benzaldehyde. Approximately 24.63% conversion with 85.71% selectivity to benzaldehyde was obtained without using any solvent by molecular O2 oxidation. Most importantly, the TOF value of the catalyst in the reaction system was up to 8698 h−1. After five runs reaction, TOF and selectivity of the catalyst remained essentially same. Hence, the proposed catalyst has a potential engineering application value.

High-voltage and low-cost manganese-based P 2-type oxides show real promise as promising cathode for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). But the P 2 − O2 phase transformation and Na + /vacancy ordering results in the inferior structural stability and Na + diffusion coefficient , which further leads to rapid decay of capacity and poor rate capability. Herein, in consideration of the synergetic effects of dual cationic doping, electrochemically inactive Li + and active Co 3+ codoping are proposed to solve the above issues. The novel two-step doping strategy, Co doping during synthesis of precursors via coprecipitation reaction followed by Li doping during solid-state reaction, are rationally developed. As anticipated, the Li/Co codoped P 2-type oxide exhibits the absence of P 2 − O2 phase transformation and Na + /vacancy disordering, which gives rise to an outstanding cycling stability (86.7% capacity retention within 100 cycles at 0.1C) and high-rate capability (reversible capacity of 109 mAh g −1 even at 10C). In addition, the full-cells composed of the codoped P 2-type positive and hard carbon negative show high energy-density, good lifespan and high-rate property. This proposed cationic codoping provides an effective and scalable tactics for modulating the structural properties of high-voltage P 2-type cathodes for advanced SIBs.

The high-temperature proton ceramic membranes with simultaneous separation of hydrogen and oxygen exhibit promising applications in the catalytic conversion field. However, their separation performance often relies on external electrical circuits, which limits practical application. To overcome this limitation, doping strategies have emerged as a viable approach to develop triple-conducting (H+/e−/O2−) membranes for simultaneous hydrogen and oxygen separation in non-electrochemical mode. In this study, honeycomb-structured hollow fiber membranes were fabricated, and the effects of varying Fe3+and Y3+doping concentrations on hydrogen and oxygen permeation fluxes were systematically investigated. At the Fe3+doping level of 0.2 mol, the oxygen permeation flux of 0.692 mL min−1cm−2in BaCe0.6Zr0.2Fe0.2O3−δ(BCZF) was achieved at 1000 °C, while the hydrogen permeation flux was 0.201 mL min−1cm−2. The BaCe0.55Fe0.05Zr0.2Y0.2O3−δ(Fe-BCZY) hollow fiber membrane can enhance the hydrogen permeation flux by 75% at 1000 °C. Furthermore, during the simultaneous permeation of hydrogen and oxygen, a 1.7-fold enhancement in hydrogen permeation performance was achieved for the Fe-BZCY hollow fiber membrane at 1000 °C, and with oxygen permeation flux of 1.76 mL min−1cm−2at the same temperature. More significantly, a hydrogen permeation flux of 0.34 mL min−1cm−2can be achieved at 700 °C under simultaneous hydrogen and oxygen permeation, which is favorable for the application of membrane reactors in catalytic reactions.

The electrocatalytic reduction of O2via two-electron reaction (2e-ORR) to H2O2represents a promising alternative to the current anthraquinone process, since it is advantageous in the sustainable and decentralized production of H2O2. Herein, we report the development of oxygen and nitrogen-rich few-layered graphene-like materials (ms-dcda) by the one-step carbonization of biomass-sourced monosaccharides (D-glucose, D-fructose, D-galactose, D-ribose, D-xylose, L-arabinose, and D-mannose) with the aid of dicyandiamide for electrochemical O2reduction to H2O2. The ms-dcdamaterials were porous and possessed wrinkled morphology typical of graphene nanosheets. In H2O2production via 2e-ORR in an acidic electrolyte, these ms-dcdamaterials were all active and stable catalysts, among which glu-dcdaderived from D-glucose and dicyandiamide displayed the lowest onset potential of 0.553 V and the highest selectivity of up to 91.6%. The catalyst was also highly stable in chronoamperometric tests. Selective chemical titration of the C–OH and C=O groups revealed that the latter is far more active and selective than the former in 2e-ORR. Moreover, a positive correlation between the contents of C=O and pyrrolic N and the H2O2partial current suggests that the pyrrolic N group also contributes to 2e-ORR. This work affords a facile strategy for the sustainable fabrication of metal-free carbon-based catalysts efficient for H2O2electrosynthesis.

Selective oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) to 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) is one of the key reactions for producing chemical commodities from biomass and their derivatives. The challenge for this reaction is to develop an efficient catalytic process that can be conducted under mild conditions (room temperature and atmospheric pressure, using oxygen molecules in air as the oxidant) and a recyclable catalyst. Herein we report a photocatalyst of cobalt thioporphyrazine (CoPz) dispersed on g-C3N4 (abbreviated as CoPz/g-C3N4), which exhibits excellent catalytic activity toward the selective oxidation of HMF into FDCA under simulated sunlight using oxygen molecules in air as a benign oxidant. For example, an FDCA yield of 96.1% in an aqueous solution at pH = 9.18 is achieved at ambient temperature and air pressure. At lower pH (4.01), the product generated is 2,5-diformylfuran. Hence, it is possible to control the reaction outcome by control of the pH of the reaction system. g-C3N4 itself is not a suitable catalyst for the selective oxidation because under the experimental conditions g-C3N4 generates hydroxyl radicals that initiate processes that oxidize HMF directly to CO2 and H2O. CoPz on the other hand activates O2 to give singlet oxygen (1O2), which more controllably oxidizes HMF to FDCA albeit at a more moderate yield (36.2%). The strong interaction between the CoPz and g-C3N4 in the CoPz/g-C3N4 catalyst is experimentally evidenced, which not only improves accessibility of the CoPz sites and makes the catalyst recyclable but also disables the hydroxyl radical generation by g-C3N4 and promotes 1O2 generation on the CoPz sites, significantly enhancing the catalytic performance. This study demonstrates the potential for efficient non-noble metal photocatalysts for organic transformations driven by sunlight.

The photocatalytic direct one-step two-electron (2e-) oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) holds great potential in efficient H2O2 synthesis. However, it is still a significant challenge to design photocatalysts for achieving high-efficiency H2O2 production via this direct one-step 2e- ORR pathway. To address this, we have constructed a Z-scheme BAIO/C3N4 heterojunction by in situ growing Ba2AgIO6 (BAIO) on the surface of C3N4 nanosheets. Under visible light irradiation, the optimal sample, with a BAIO:C3N4 mass ratio of 1:1.5, exhibited a remarkable H2O2 yield of up to 535.9 μmol g-1 h-1, which is 8.8 times higher than that of pure C3N4. This enhancement is attributed to the improved charge separation and migration efficiency facilitated by the enhanced internal electric field (IEF) in BAIO/C3N4 heterojunction. Furthermore, the heterojunction altered the O2 adsorption configuration to the Yeager-type, promoting a more efficient and selective direct one-step 2e- ORR for H2O2 production. This study highlights the importance of regulating the reaction pathway to enhance photocatalytic H2O2 production activity and offers a new insight for designing highly active photocatalysts.

Spinel-type Co3O4 has been identified as a highly prospective cathode catalyst for lithium-oxygen batteries (LOBs), attributable to its distinctive bimetallic active sites that manifest exceptional bifunctional catalytic characteristics. Nonetheless, the practical implementation of this process is constrained by the inherent conductivity limitations of Co3O4 and the suboptimal utilization of active sites. In this study, a Cu-Mn bimetallic doping strategy is employed to prepare a spherical-like structure of Co3O4 formed by self-assembling one-dimensional nanorods. The introduction of Cu²⁺ results in a reduction of the surface energy of the system, thereby facilitating the directional growth of the nanorods. The redox-active Mn³⁺/Mn⁴⁺ pairs exhibit an inhibitory effect on Ostwald ripening, achieved by stabilizing the fine particles during synthesis and regulating solute diffusion kinetics. This combined action of Cu and Mn enhances active site exposure and optimizes charge transfer kinetics. Furthermore, the doping of bimetallic ions resulted in the redistribution of the Co3+/Co2+ ratio, optimizing the electronic structure for efficient charge transfer during the reaction. The combination of tailored electronic states and optimized nanostructures demonstrates excellent dual-functional catalytic activity for ORR and OER, with a half-wave potential of 0.71 V (vs RHE) for OER and an overpotential of 400 mV (10 mA cm-2) for ORR. The assembled LOBs can be stably cycled up to 450 cycles and an ultra-high discharge capacity of 7268 mAh g-1 for LOBs. This study provides a novel reference for the design of efficient bifunctional catalysts.

N -cyclohexylcyclohexanimine (N-CCA), a by-product of cyclohexylamine (CHA) oxidation to cyclohexanone oxime (CHO), was used as the starting reactant for the efficient conversion to CHO under an oxygen atmosphere, utilizing the constructed surface hydroxyl-rich Ti-based catalysts. Of these, the 20% TiO 2 /Hβ catalyst exhibited unique catalytic activity and stability, achieving 45.9% N-CCA conversion and 82.1% CHO selectivity, with the content of high-boiling by-products not exceeding 1.0%. The superior catalytic performance, as evidenced by characterization results, stems primarily from: (i) the combination of TiO 2 and Hβ, which promotes the formation of a high specific surface area with fine TiO 2 nanoparticles and high-density Ti δ+ active sites, which facilitate the adsorption and activation of N-CCA; (ii) the construction of rich hydroxyl groups, which enhances the Brønsted acid sites, thereby improving the generation of active oxygen species; (iii) the intercrystalline embedding of TiO 2 and Hβ, which forms Ti–O–Si bonds, effectively inhibiting Ti leaching and ensuring excellent catalyst stability. The conversion of N-CCA, the main by-product of CHA oxidation, to the desired CHO using an efficient and robust 20% TiO 2 /Hβ catalyst represents an attractive pathway.

The need for bi-functional catalysts that facilitate both the oxygen reduction (ORR) and carbon dioxide reduction (CO 2 RR) reactions arises from their potential to help solve the critical problems of carbon neutrality and renewable energy conversion. However, there are few reports on the development of bi-functional catalysts for zinc-air battery-driven CO 2 RR devices. We introduce a novel approach for synthesizing Fe 2 N/Fe 3 C species embedded in nitrogen-doped carbon nanofibers by electrospinning a solution of Hemin and polyacrylonitrile in N,N-dimethylformamide. The material has an exceptional catalytic performance, with a half-wave potential of 0.91 V versus RHE for the ORR and values of over 90% for both the selectivity and Faradaic efficiency for the CO 2 RR. The high catalytic performances are attributed to the strong coupling between the Fe 3 C/Fe 2 N heterostructure and the Fe-N-C sites in the nitrogen-doped carbon nanofibers. Notably, both Fe 3 C and Fe 2 N play distinct roles in both the ORR and CO 2 RR. This investigation indicates a way for designing advanced carbon-based bi-functional catalysts for use in this field.
