Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Catalysis
  • Electrochemistry

Background:

  • Metal single-atom catalysts (M-SACs) are promising for heterogeneous reactions.
  • Synthesizing high-loading M-SACs presents a significant challenge.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a novel strategy for constructing high-loading M-SACs.
  • To demonstrate the efficacy of these M-SACs in catalytic applications and energy storage.

Main Methods:

  • A multilayer stabilization strategy involving perfluorotetradecanoic acid and polypyrrole coating.
  • Pyrolysis of metal precursors embedded in multilayers to form M-SACs.
  • Characterization of M-SACs with high metal loading (~16 wt%).

Main Results:

  • Successfully synthesized M-SACs (Fe, Co, Ru, Ir, Pt) with inhibited metal aggregation.
  • Fe-SAC exhibited excellent oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) activity (0.91 V alkaline, 0.82 V acidic).
  • Fe-SAC demonstrated high performance as an air electrode in zinc-air batteries (247.7 mW cm⁻² peak power density).

Conclusions:

  • The multilayer stabilization strategy is effective for producing high-loading M-SACs.
  • Developed M-SACs show significant potential for catalysis and energy storage applications.
  • This versatile method offers a pathway for advanced M-SAC development.
