Mo–Fe catalysts with different Mo dispersions were synthesized with fast (Cat-FS, 600 r·min−1) or slow stirring speed (Cat-SS, 30 r·min−1) by the coprecipitation method. Improving the stirring speed strengthened the mixing of the solution and increased the dispersion of particles in the catalyst, which exhibited favorable activity and selectivity. The byproduct (dimethyl ether (DME)) selectivity increased from 2.3% to 2.8% with Cat-SS, while it remained unchanged with Cat-FS in a stability test. The aggregation of particles and thin Mo-enriched surface layer decreased the catalyst surface area and slowed down the reoxidation of reduced active sites with Cat-SS, leaving more oxygen vacancies which promoted the formation of DME by the nonoxidative channel.

The electronic and magnetic properties of Mn and oxygen vacancies codoped anatase TiO2were investigated. The calculated results showed that the TiO2codoped with Mn and oxygen vacancies have a magnetic moment value of 3.415 μBper Ti31MnO63supercell. Furthermore, Ti31MnO63gets the lowest energy with a geometrical optimization where the Mn ions locate at the nearest-neighbor sites of the oxygen vacancy. And experimental results indicated the magnetism is associated with the defects of Mn ions and oxygen vacancies induced by the Mn doping, which is consistent with the calculation results.

Abstract Oxygen vacancies are considered to be an important factor to influence the electronic structure and charge transport of electrocatalysts in the field of energy chemistry. Various strategies focused on oxygen vacancy engineering are proved to be efficient for further improving the electrocatalytic performance of Co3O4. Herein, an optimal Co3O4 with rich oxygen vacancies have been synthesized via a two-step process combining solution reduction and Ni2+ impregnation. The as-prepared electrocatalyst exhibits an enhanced oxygen evolution performance with the overpotential of 330 mV at the current density of 10 mA cm−2 in alkaline condition, which is 84 mV lower than that of pristine one. With the increasing of oxygen vacancies , the charge transfer efficency and surface active area are relatively enhanced reflected by the Tafel slope and double-layer capacitance measurement. These results indicate that combining solution reduction and heteroatom doping can be a valid way for efficient metal oxides-based electrocatalyst development by constructing higher concentration of oxygen vacancy.
