01 Mar 2018TL;DR: An approach to tuning a redox-active electrocatalyst based on the doping of molybdenum into the tungsten framework of [Co4(H2O)2(PW9O34)2]10–, known as the Weakley sandwich is presented.
Abstract: Water oxidation is a key reaction for the conversion of solar energy into chemical fuels, but effective water-oxidation catalysts are often based on rare and costly precious metals such as Pt, Ir or Ru. Developing strategies based on earth-abundant metals is important to explore critical aspects of this reaction, and to see whether different and more efficient applications are possible for energy systems. Herein, we present an approach to tuning a redox-active electrocatalyst based on the doping of molybdenum into the tungsten framework of [Co4(H2O)2(PW9O34)2]10–, known as the Weakley sandwich. The Mo-doped framework was confirmed by X-ray crystallography, electrospray ionization mass spectrometry and inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry studies. The doping of molybdenum into the robust Weakley sandwich framework leads to the oxidation of water at a low onset potential, and with no catalyst degradation, whereby the overpotential of the oxygen evolution reaction is lowered by 188 mV compared with the pure tungsten framework.

TL;DR: In this article, a single Pd atom was constructed in a polyoxometalate-based metal-organic framework (POMOF) to separate acetylene from acetylene/ethylene gas mixtures.
Abstract: Achieving highly selective acetylene semi-hydrogenation in an ethylene-rich gas stream is of great industrial importance. Herein, we construct isolated single Pd atom in a polyoxometalate-based metal-organic framework (POMOF). The unique internal environment allows this POMOF to separate acetylene from acetylene/ethylene gas mixtures and confine it close to the single Pd atom. After semi-hydrogenation, the resulting ethylene is preferentially discharged from the pores, achieving a selectivity of 92.6 %. First-principles simulations reveal that the adsorbed acetylene/ethylene molecules form hydrogen bond networks with oxygen atoms of SiW12 O404- and create dynamic confinement regions, which preferentially release the produced ethylene. Besides, at the Pd site, the over-hydrogenation of ethylene exhibits a higher reaction energy barrier than the semi-hydrogenation of acetylene. The combined advantages of POMOF and single Pd atom provides an effective approach for the regulation of semi-hydrogenation selectivity.
