Nitrogen-coordinated single-atom catalysts (SACs) have emerged as a frontier for electrocatalysis (such as oxygen reduction) with maximized atom utilization and highly catalytic activity. The precise design and operable synthesis of SACs are vital for practical applications but remain challenging because the commonly used high-temperature treatments always result in unpredictable structural changes and randomly created single atoms. Here, we develop a pyrolysis-free synthetic approach to prepare SACs with a high electrocatalytic activity using a fully π-conjugated iron phthalocyanine (FePc)–rich covalent organic framework (COF). Instead of randomly creating Fe-nitrogen moieties on a carbon matrix (Fe-N-C) through pyrolysis, we rivet the atomically well-designed Fe-N-C centers via intermolecular interactions between the COF network and the graphene matrix. The as-synthesized catalysts demonstrate exceptional kinetic current density in oxygen reduction catalysis (four times higher than the benchmark Pt/C) and superior power density and cycling stability in Zn-air batteries compared with Pt/C as air electrodes.

Nitrogen-coordinated single-atom manganese in multi-dimensional nitrogen-doped carbon electrocatalysts (Mn-NC) was successful constructed by combing two-dimensional nanosheets and one-dimensional nanofibers. The Mn-NC exhibited excellent oxygen reduction reaction catalytic activity with half-wave...

Stabilization Temperature

Highly decationized zeolite NH4NaY, stabilized by water vapour under steaming conditions at 1030 K, was characterized by its lattice constant, sorption capacity, quantity of extralattice Al, number and character of OH groups present after dehydration in vacuum at 670 K. The catalytic activity and the effect of Lewis and Broensted type acid centers were tested by oligomeration of ethylene and propylene at 310 K and isotopic exchanges of ethylene-d4 + OH and propylene-d6 + OH at 570 K. The properties of this zeolite were compared with zeolites stabilized under selfsteaming conditions at 1040 and 820 K. Structural changes caused by the stabilization process are more pronounced with the steamed zeolite than with the selfsteamed one; in the latter case they diminish with stabilization temperature. Accordingly, the results of catalytic measurements reveal the effect of strong Broensted acid centers in the case of low-temperature selfsteamed zeolite; these centers apparently originate from remainders of the original decationized zeolite. The high-temperature self-steamed zeolite is essentially inactive, whereas the activity of the high-temperature steamed zeolite suggest the presence of catalytically active electron-acceptor centers.

Wide Range

Transition metal and nitrogen co-doped carbon-based catalysts (TM-N-C) have become the most promising catalysts for Pt/C due to their wide range of sources, low cost, high catalytic activity, excellent stability and strong resistance to poisoning, especially Fe–N–C metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), which are some of the most promising precursors for the preparation of Fe–N–C catalysts due to their inherent properties, such as their highly ordered three-dimensional framework structure, controlled porosity, and tuneable chemistry. Based on these, in this paper, different iron sources were added to synthesis a sort of zeolitic imidazole frameworks (ZIF-8). Then the imidazole salt in ZIF-8 was rearranged into high N-doped carbon by high-temperature pyrolysis to prepare the Fe–N–C catalyst. We studied the physical characteristics of the catalysts by different iron sources and their effects on the catalytic properties of the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). From the point of morphology, various iron sources have a positive influence on maintaining the morphology of ZIF-8 polyhedron. Fe–N/C–Fe(NO3)3 has the same anion as zinc nitrate, and can maintain a polyhedral morphology after high-temperature calcination. It had the highest ORR catalytic activity compared to the other four catalyst materials, which proved that there is a certain relationship between morphology and performance. This paper will provide a useful reference and new models for the development of high-performance ORR catalysts without precious metals.
