Journal ArticleDOI
Recent progress made in the mechanism comprehension and design of electrocatalysts for alkaline water splitting
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the fundamentals of the hydrogen evolution reaction/oxygen evolution reaction (HER/OER) and construct efficient electrocatalysts based on the structure-activity relationship.
Journal ArticleDOI
Platinum-based nanocages with subnanometer-thick walls and well-defined, controllable facets
Lei Zhang,Lei Zhang,Luke T. Roling,Xue Wang,Xue Wang,Madeline Vara,Miaofang Chi,Jingyue Liu,Sang-Il Choi,Jinho Park,Jeffrey A. Herron,Zhaoxiong Xie,Manos Mavrikakis,Younan Xia +13 more
TL;DR: Nanocages of platinum are fabricated by depositing a few atomic layers of platinum as conformal shells on palladium nanocrystals with well-defined facets and then etching away the Pd templates.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nanostructured Materials for Heterogeneous Electrocatalytic CO2 Reduction and their Related Reaction Mechanisms
TL;DR: Recent progress on the design and synthesis of solid-state catalysts for the electrochemical reduction of CO2 is described, followed by the general parameters for CO2 electroreduction and a summary of the reaction apparatus.
Journal ArticleDOI
Palladium–platinum core-shell icosahedra with substantially enhanced activity and durability towards oxygen reduction
Xue Wang,Sang-Il Choi,Luke T. Roling,Ming Luo,Cheng Ma,Lei Zhang,Lei Zhang,Miaofang Chi,Jingyue Liu,Zhaoxiong Xie,Jeffrey A. Herron,Manos Mavrikakis,Younan Xia +12 more
TL;DR: This work reports a system based on palladium icosahedra that demonstrates an effective approach to the development of electrocatalysts with greatly enhanced activity and durability.
Journal ArticleDOI
Atomic Layer-by-Layer Deposition of Pt on Pd Nanocubes for Catalysts with Enhanced Activity and Durability toward Oxygen Reduction
Shuifen Xie,Sang-Il Choi,Ning Lu,Luke T. Roling,Jeffrey A. Herron,Lei Zhang,Lei Zhang,Jinho Park,Jinguo Wang,Moon J. Kim,Zhaoxiong Xie,Manos Mavrikakis,Younan Xia +12 more
TL;DR: Both theoretical and experimental studies indicate that the ORR specific activity was maximized for the catalysts based on Pd@Pt2-3L nanocubes, which showed enhancements in specific activity and durability toward the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR).
