Understanding carbon-supported Pt-catalyzed oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) from the perspective of the active sites is of fundamental and practical importance.In this study,three differently sized carbon nanotube-supported Pt nanoparticles (Pt/CNT) are prepared by both atomic layer deposition (ALD) and impregnation methods.The performances of the catalysts toward the ORR in acidic media are comparatively studied to probe the effects of the sizes of the Pt nanoparticles together with their distributions,electronic properties,and local environments.The ALD-Pt/CNT catalysts show much higher ORR activity and selectivity than the impregnation-Pt/CNT catalysts,This outstanding ORR performance is ascribed to the well-controlled Pt particle sizes and distributions,desirable Pt0 4f binding energy,and the Cl-free Pt surfaces based on the electrocatalytic measurements,catalyst characterizations,and model calculations.The insights reported here could guide the rational design and fine-tuning of carbon-supported Pt catalysts for the ORR,

The oxide-zeolite process provides a promising way for one-step production of aromatics from syngas,whereas the reasons for the dramatic effect of intimacy between oxide and zeolite in the composite catalyst on the product selectivity are still unclear.In
Fabricating of high performance electrodes by a sustainable and cost effective method is essential to the development of vanadium redox flow batteries (VRFBs).In this work,an effective strategy is proposed to deposit carbon nanoparticles on graphite felts
We used a chemical reduction method to synthesize the catalysts of cobalt (Co) and cobalt-ruthenium (Co-Ru) bifunctional supported on carbon nanotubes (CNTs) for Fischer–Tropsch synthesis (FTS) in a fixed-bed reactor. These Co-Ru/CNTs catalysts were synth
Methylcyclopentenyl cations (MCP+) have been regarded as active intermediates during methanol conversion,however,their function mode in the reaction are still uncertain.In our recent report,trimethylcyclopentenyl cation (triMCP+) and its deprotonated coun
Aromatics are important basic chemicals.However,direct conversion of syngas via the conventional Fischer-Tropsch synthesis produces little aromatics.We presented herein that a bifunctional composite of ZSM-5 in combination with ZnCrOx catalyzes syngas con
Development of efficient molecular devices for overall water splitting has always been a hotspot of research to realize clean and sustainable energy conversion.In the case,long-term durability of molecular devices is a crucial factor to determine their pr
The ternary amides LiK2(NH2)3,LiK(NH2)2,and Li3K(NH2)4 are successfully synthesized by ball milling mixtures of LiNH2 and KNH2,and the hydrogen storage properties of Li3K(NH2)4-xMgH2 (x =1,2,3,4) are systematically investigated.The Li3K(NH2)4-2MgH2 sample
CO2 hydrogenation to methanol on small size Pdx clusters (x=7,9 and 13) has been studied using density functional theory calculations.It has been found that in contrast to metallic Pd system,these small Pdx clusters can interact well with CO2 molecule.CO2
Although there have been many reports of metal doping to ameliorate the drawbacks of hematite as the photoanode for water oxidation,most of them focused on monometallic doping,and only a few of them payed attention to bimetallic doping.What is worse,the s
A phosphorous-doped graphite felt (PGF) is fabricated and examined as electrode for vanadium flow battery (VFB).P doping improves the electrolyte wettability of GF and induces more defect sites on its surface,resulting in significantly enhanced activity a
