Regulating the spin density of Co^IIIusing boron-doped carbon dots for enhanced electrocatalytic nitrate reduction

Abstract

Controlling the electron spin state on the catalyst surface can regulate the reaction activity, rate, and selectivity of surface reactions. However, there are still many challenges to explore new strategies...

Tandem Nitrate‐to‐Ammonia Conversion on Atomically Precise Silver Nanocluster/MXene Electrocatalyst

“…In addition, we also used energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) mapping to analyze the elemental distribution of the composite sample (Figure 1g). [22] The Ti, C, O elements belonging to MXene correspond to the shape of the sample in the STEM image, while the Ag and S elements belonging to Ag 9 NCs are uniformly distributed on the sample, further confirming our successful Electrocatalytic reduction reactions of nitrate were performed in an H-cell with the Nafion 117 membrance (Figure 2a). [23] Among them, Ag 9 /MXene catalyst was loaded on carbon paper as the working electrode, saturated calomel electrode (SCE) was used as the reference electrode, and platinum foil was used as the counter electrode.…”

Advancing electrocatalytic reactions through mapping key intermediates to active sites via descriptors

“…Experimental results and theoretical calculations further supported that the modulation of spin-density affected the PDS, reducing the energy barrier that needed to be overcome, and ultimately optimizing the catalytic activity. 267…”
