Researchers spare no effort to find catalytic reactivity “descriptor”, which is correlated with catalytical properties and could be utilized for guiding the rational design of high-performance catalysts. In recent years, benefited from the development of computational technology, theoretical calculation came into being as a powerful tool to understand catalytic mechanisms from an atomic level as well as to accelerate the process of finding a catalytic reactivity descriptor and promoting the development of effective catalysts. In the present review, we provide the latest theoretical research toward energetic and electronic descriptors for metal-nitrogen-doped carbon (M-N-C) materials, which have shown excellent electrocatalytic performance and provide a prototype for the mechanistic understanding of electrocatalytic reactions. This review uses density functional theory calculation and the most advanced machine learning method to describe the exploration of four kinds of electrocatalytic reaction descriptors, namely oxygen reduction reaction, carbon dioxide reduction reaction, hydrogen evolution reaction, and nitrogen reduction reaction. The aim of this review is to inspire the future design of high-efficiency M-N-C catalysts by providing in-depth insights into the electrocatalytic activity of these materials.","PeriodicalId":100387,"journal":{"name":"EcoEnergy","volume":"1 1","pages":"154-185"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/ece2.12","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138468640","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, hydrogen production from seawater electrolysis faces many challenges, including corrosion caused by insoluble precipitates such as Cl−, Mg2+ and Ca2+ in alkaline seawater as well as marine pollutants can lead to blocking active sites, together with high energy consumption, resulting in low efficiency and poor stability of electrocatalyst, which hinders the application of seawater electrolysis technology. In this work, we report H2O enrichment of the Pt/hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) electrocatalyst. Electrochemical tests and in situ experiments both demonstrate that h-BN as the support loaded Pt effectively prevents the corrosion of the cathode, the formation of fouling, and reduces energy consumption, resulting in prolonged operating stability at high current density. The electrocatalyst works stably for over 1000 h at a high current density of 500 mA cm−2 in alkaline seawater electrolytes. Pt/h-BN shows better hydrogen evolution performance than Pt/C under industrial production conditions and has good industrial application prospects.","PeriodicalId":100387,"journal":{"name":"EcoEnergy","volume":"1 2","pages":"405-413"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/ece2.9","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143253423","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, designing a catalyst that operates at low temperatures and remains cost-effective poses a significant challenge. We successfully synthesized Pd species (single atoms, fully exposed clusters, and nanoparticles) on a nanodiamond/graphene (ND@G) hybrid support for toluene hydrogenation. The structure of as-developed Pd catalyst was investigated by HAADF-STEM, X-ray absorption fine structure, Raman, XRD, XPS, and other characterizations. Remarkably, the Pdn/ND@G catalyst achieved a toluene conversion rate of 99.3% (100°C, 2.0 MPa H2) without loss of catalytic ability after 5 runs, which exhibited excellent catalytic performance and stable activity. Furthermore, the Pdn/ND@G catalyst exhibited an apparent activation energy as low as 62.36 ± 3.33 kJ mol−1 and an initial turnover frequency of 33.1 h−1 at 100°C. By adjusting the size and metal-dependent effects, we have achieved enhanced catalytic performance for toluene hydrogenation, thus paving the way for the design of efficient liquid organic hydrogen storage catalysts.","PeriodicalId":100387,"journal":{"name":"EcoEnergy","volume":"1 1","pages":"207-214"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/ece2.13","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138468644","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Electrochemical nitrogen (N2) reduction reaction (ENRR) emerges as the most attractive pathway to produce NH3. The process utilizes H2O as a proton source under mild temperature and pressure, which can reduce CO2 emissions and energy input compared to the traditional Haber-Bosch process. However, ENRR is severely insufficient for practical applications due to its kinetically sluggish steps compared to its competitive hydrogen evolution reaction. Also, the imbalanced reactant concentrations of N2 and H2O, resulting from the low N2 solubility, and oppositely, free H2O accessibility toward catalysts, cause the ineffective three-phase-boundary that acts as active sites for ENRR. To overcome these challenges, it is essential to perform interfacial engineering for each part of the catalyst and reaction environment. In this perspective, recent advances in interfacial engineering are examined and critically reviewed, and further research directions are proposed to develop ENRR significantly. The sections cover catalytic active site modification, hydrophobic/hydrophilic control, electrolyte engineering, and system design. The insights and prospects in this perspective will be effective for developing ENRR in a scientific and practical manner.","PeriodicalId":100387,"journal":{"name":"EcoEnergy","volume":"1 1","pages":"3-15"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/ece2.10","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136347199","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Unfortunately, most of the common semiconductors used in PEC water splitting have wide bandgaps, which greatly restrict the utilization efficiency of sunlight. To promote the solar-to-hydrogen (STH) efficiency of PEC water splitting, atomically precise clusters with regular crystal structures have been introduced in the PEC systems.
