概括
在氧化物 (Co3O4) 电催化剂中加入兰,通过促进晶格解构和形成更活跃的位点来增强氧化演化反应 (OER) 的活性,而不是改善内在催化.
科学领域:
- 材料科学
- 电化学
- 催化剂
背景情况:
- 常规氧演化反应 (OER) 催化剂的评估依赖于当前密度在设置过量的潜力.
- 这一指标对于OER催化剂是不可靠的,因为格子解构和无形化在工作条件下增加了活性位点.
研究的目的:
- 研究 (La3+) 加入氧化物 (Co3O4) 对OER性能的影响.
- 在OER催化过程中阐明La-改性CO3O4的结构和化学变化.
主要方法:
- 用粉末X射线衍射 (PXRD),拉曼光谱和扩展X射线吸收细结构 (EXAFS) 来分析材料结构.
- 操作光谱和高分辨率传输电子显微镜 (HRTEM) 用于在OER条件下研究催化剂的行为.
- 在催化后测定表面化学状态的X射线光电谱 (XPS).
主要成果:
- 加入到CO3O4导致域大小减少,远程顺序减少和无形化增加.
- 在OER条件下,La3+加速了格子的解构,形成了一个无形的上层.
- 随着La3+度的增加,OER过量降低,达到17%的La合.
- 后OERXPS显示了格子氧化物的损失和化/缺陷的Co (O) (OH) 物种的形成.
结论:
- 在Lad-doped Co3O4中改善的OER活性是由于格子解构和形成更活跃的Co ((O)) ((OH)) 边缘位点.
- 增强的性能源于增加的活性位点数,而不是改善的内在催化性能.
- 这种机制可能适用于氧化物催化剂中的其他金属离子剂.

Thermal and Photochemical Electrocyclic Reactions: Overview
2.3K
Electrocyclic reactions are reversible reactions. They involve an intramolecular cyclization or ring-opening of a conjugated polyene. Shown below are two examples of electrocyclic reactions. In the first reaction, the formation of the cyclic product is favored. In contrast, in the second reaction, ring-opening is favored due to the high ring strain associated with cyclobutene formation.

Ladder Diagrams: Redox Equilibria
428
Ladder diagrams are useful tools for understanding redox equilibrium reactions, especially the effects of concentration changes on the electrochemical potential of the reaction. The vertical axis in the redox ladder diagrams represents the electrochemical potential, E. The area of predominance is demarcated using the Nernst equation.
Consider the Fe3+/Fe2+ half-reaction, which has a standard-state potential of +0.771 V. At potentials more positive than +0.771 V, Fe3+ predominates, whereas Fe2+...

Electrolysis
26.0K
In a galvanic cell, the electrical work is done by a redox system on its surroundings as electrons produced by the spontaneous redox reactions are transferred through an external circuit. Alternatively, an external circuit does work on a redox system by imposing a voltage sufficient to drive an otherwise nonspontaneous reaction in a process known as electrolysis. For instance, recharging a battery involves the use of an external power source to drive the spontaneous (discharge) cell reaction in...
