A colloidal aqueous electrolyte modulated by oleic acid for durable zinc metal anode

Continuous dendrites growth, as well as corrosion and side reactions of Zn metal anode seriously hinder the development of aqueous zinc ion batteries. To address these issues, oleic acid (OA) is dispersed into a 2 M ZnSO4 solution to form a novel colloidal ...

What do we talk about, when we talk about single-crystal termination-dependent selectivity of Cu electrocatalysts for CO2 reduction? A data-driven retrospective

Kevin Rossi

We mine from the literature experimental data on the CO2 electrochemical reduction selectivity of Cu single crystal surfaces. We then probe the accuracy of a machine learning model trained to predict faradaic efficiencies for 11 CO2 reduction reaction prod ...

A water-gating and zinc-sieving lignocellulose nanofiber separator for dendrite-free rechargeable aqueous zinc ion battery

Kangning Zhao, Zequan Li, Xu Zhang

The sustainable development of rechargeable aqueous zinc-ion batteries (RZIBs) is severely limited by the uncontrolled zinc dendritic growth and side reactions on the anode. Herein, a lignocellulose nanofiber (LCNF) separator from waste palm with dual-func ...

Electrochemically CO2 conversion using homogeneous and nanostructured heterogeneous Ru (II) electrocatalysts

Farzaneh Fadaei Tirani

The reduction of carbon dioxide to desirable products is an urgent goal in favour of the environment, the energy-cycle and mankind. We report the electrochemical reduction of CO2 to carbon monoxide by means of the ho-mogeneous electrocatalyst (1), [Ru(bpy) ...

Realistic Modelling of Dynamics at Nanostructured Interfaces Relevant to Heterogeneous Catalysis

Kevin Rossi

The focus of this short review is directed towards investigations of the dynamics of nanostructured metallic heterogeneous catalysts and the evolution of interfaces during reaction-namely, the metal-gas, metal-liquid, and metal-support interfaces. Indeed, ...

Cluster Catalysis with Lattice Oxygen: Tracing Oxygen Transport from a Magnetite (001) Support onto Small Pt Clusters

Wolfgang Harbich, Giulia Elisabetta Pacchioni, Ke Zhang

Oxidation catalysis on reducible oxide-supported small metal clusters often involves lattice oxygen. The present work aims at differentiating whether the reaction takes place at the cluster/support interface or on the cluster. To that purpose, we trace the ...
