All Platinum Group Metal-Free and Durable Catalysts for Direct Borohydride Fuel Cells

Andreas Züttel, Thi Ha My Pham, Victor Carle Adrien Boureau, Youngdon Ko, Liping Zhong

Platinum group metal-free catalysts (e.g., Fe-N-C and Co-N-C) are used as hydrogen peroxide reduction reaction (PRR) catalysts in direct borohydride fuel cells (DBFCs). Fe-N-C is more active in the PRR and demonstrates high performance at the beginning of ...

Solvent- and catalyst-free reduction of CO2 with ammonia borane

Andreas Züttel, Youngdon Ko, Liping Zhong

Ammonia borane (AB) has been extensively studied as a solid-state hydrogen storage material. On the other hand, its reactivity with CO2 is still unclear, especially in the solid state. By carefully controlling the CO2 pressure and temperature, AB efficient ...

Understanding the role of surface oxygen-containing functional groups on carbon-supported cobalt catalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction

Andreas Züttel, Thi Ha My Pham, Kangning Zhao, Youngdon Ko, Liping Zhong, Manhui Wei

Supported Co-based catalysts exhibit promising catalytic activities in the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) during alkaline water electrolysis. Surface functionalization of the support modulates the dispersion of the catalysts and their interaction with the ...

Graphene nanoplatelets promoted CoO-based catalyst for low temperature CO2 methanation reaction

Andreas Züttel, Thi Ha My Pham, Youngdon Ko, Liping Zhong

Methanation of CO2 is an important reaction for reducing CO2 emissions in a power-to-gas system. Compared to cobalt supported on gamma-Al2O3, cobalt supported on graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs) showed significantly better performance for CO2 methanation. Cob ...

Tandem effect of Ag@C@Cu catalysts enhances ethanol selectivity for electrochemical CO2 reduction in flow reactors

Andreas Züttel, Thi Ha My Pham, Cedric David Koolen, Wen Luo, Jie Zhang, Mo Li, Youngdon Ko, Liping Zhong

CO-selective metals (e.g., Ag) on Cu catalysts improve the selec-tivity of multi-carbon (C2+) products in electrochemical CO2 reduc-tion. However, the origin of the improvement remains unclear due to the convolution of tandem and interface effects. Here, A ...

Selective Borohydride Oxidation Reaction on Nickel Catalyst with Anion and Cation Exchange Ionomer for High-Performance Direct Borohydride Fuel Cells

Andreas Züttel, Thi Ha My Pham, Loris Giovanni Lombardo, Heena Yang, Mo Li, Youngdon Ko

Direct borohydride fuel cells (DBFCs) operate with liquid H2O2 and a high-energy-density NaBH4 solution. A facile, direct synthesis method using a non-noble nickel catalyst for the DBFC anode is shown. The complex anode reaction with an anion-exchange iono ...

Direct CO2 Capture and Reduction to High-End Chemicals with Tetraalkylammonium Borohydrides

Andreas Züttel, Loris Giovanni Lombardo, Kun Zhao, Heena Yang, Youngdon Ko

We demonstrate the ability of tetraalkylammonium borohydrides to capture large amounts of CO2, even at low CO2 concentrations, and reduce it to formate under ambient conditions. These materials show CO2 absorption capacities up to 30 mmolCO2 g(-1) at room ...
