TL;DR: In this paper , an earth-abundant cobalt-copper (Co1-xCux) nanoparticles supported on a three-dimensional substrate for efficient and selective ammonia (NH3) synthesis via electrocatalytic nitrate reduction is presented.
Abstract: Ammonia (NH3) is a valuable chemical for fertilizer production and for use as an effective hydrogen carrier. Electrocatalytic nitrate reduction has recently received great attention as an alternative for NH3 synthesis due to its kinetically favorable reaction. However, this promising strategy suffers from low Faradaic efficiency (FE) at large current density (>100 mA cm–2) and low nitrate concentrations because of the competing hydrogen evolution reaction. Herein, we report a catalyst consisting of earth-abundant cobalt–copper (Co1–xCux) nanoparticles supported on a three-dimensional substrate for efficient and selective NH3 synthesis via electrocatalytic nitrate reduction. Typically, the optimized Co0.5Cu0.5 catalyst performs at a high NH3 Faradaic efficiency (FE) of over 95% at −0.03 V with NH3 partial current density of ∼176 mA cm–2 at 50 mM nitrate, which is 7.3- and 1.7-fold higher than that of pure Co and Cu counterparts. Importantly, replacing Co with Cu enables the tuning of onset potential on Co catalyst maintaining high selectivity toward NH3. A stability test over 12 cycles confirmed the long-term operation of this catalyst. This work offers a facile strategy for tuning the catalyst’s elemental composition to attain a desired electrocatalytic activity.

TL;DR: In this paper , the first example of phenanthroimidazole-based COFs is reported: PImCOF1 with an imine linkage and PIm-COF2 with a β-ketoenamine-linkage.
Abstract: The rational design of organic semiconductors based on crystalline covalent organic frameworks (COFs) as efficient photocatalysts is highly desirable. In this study, the first example of phenanthroimidazole-based COFs is reported: PImCOF1 with an imine linkage and PIm-COF2 with a β-ketoenamine-linkage. Both COF materials showed substantial optical properties. The average hydrogen evolution rate was 7417.5 μmolg-1h-1 for PIm-COF2, which was 20 times higher than that of PIm-COF1 (358.5 μmolg-1h-1). This can be attributed to the strong donor-acceptor effect of PIm-COF2 and the continuous separation and transfer of the photoexcited electron-hole pair from the phenanthro[9,10-d]imidazole moiety.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article , a road map article explores a range of issues related to both photocatalytic and photoelectrocatalytic hydrogen generation ranging from basic processes, materials science through to reactor engineering and applications for biomass reforming.
Abstract: As a consequence of the issues resulting from global climate change many nations are starting to transition to being low or net zero carbon economies. To achieve this objective practical alternative fuels are urgently required and hydrogen gas is deemed one of the most desirable substitute fuels to traditional hydrocarbons. A significant challenge, however, is obtaining hydrogen from sources with low or zero carbon footprint i.e. so called ‘green’ hydrogen. Consequently, there are a number of strands of research into processes that are practical techniques for the production of this ‘green’ hydrogen. Over the past five decades there has been a significant body of research into photocatalytic (PC)/photoelectrocatalytic processes for hydrogen production through water splitting or water reduction. There have, however been significant issues faced in terms of the practical capability of this promising technology to produce hydrogen at scale. This road map article explores a range of issues related to both PC and photoelectrocatalytic hydrogen generation ranging from basic processes, materials science through to reactor engineering and applications for biomass reforming.
