This work presents the design and validation of a 100 cm2 electrolyzer prototype featuring a zero-gap configuration and a serpentine flow field to ensure uniform CO2 distribution. Scaling up a CO2 electrolyzer requires optimized flow field design, in this case, a serpentine geometry enhances CO2 transport and minimizes mass transfer limitations, thereby improving overall performance. Experimental prototype testing is conducted to evaluate the effects of current density and water content in the CO2 feed. Optimal performance is achieved at 200 mA cm- 2 and a water content of 15 g h- 1, yielding a formate concentration of 760 g L- 1, a Faradaic efficiency of 67%, a production rate of 7 mmol m- 2 s- 1, and an energy consumption of 507 kWh kmol- 1. Comparisons with a 10 cm2 lab-scale reactor reveal improved CO2 conversion and production rate, validating the benefits of optimized flow field design and scale-up approach. While energy efficiency is somewhat reduced to increased Ohmic losses, the overall results support the technical feasibility of scaling gas-phase CO2-to-formate electrolysis. Further improvements in design and energy management are still needed to advance toward industrial implementation.","PeriodicalId":149,"journal":{"name":"ChemSusChem","volume":" ","pages":"e2501116"},"PeriodicalIF":7.5,"publicationDate":"2025-07-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144705834","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, issues such as the polysulfide shuttle effect and sluggish redox kinetics lead to low sulfur utilization efficiency and poor cycling lifespan, hindering their commercial viability. Heterogeneous catalysts have become essential for regulating sulfur in high-performance Li-S batteries. This review starts by reviewing the fundamental mechanisms involved in the redox reactions of sulfur species. The critical roles of heterogeneous catalysts in sulfur modulation are then discussed, including their ability of relieving the shuttle effect and facilitating catalytic conversions by summarizing the recent theoretical explorations and experimental findings based on various advanced characterization techniques. Additionally, the existing challenges in the field are summarized and strategic directions are proposed for heterogeneous electrocatalysts in future research on Li-S batteries.

Moreover, In2O3 tends to migrate near Ni species, forming the NiInOx complex structure decorated by InOx layers. It is demonstrated that indium oxide serves as the main active site in the reverse water-gas conversion reaction, and Ni species function as an auxiliary agent to generate the strong metal-support interaction effect with indium oxide, facilitate the formation of the key intermediates HCOO* and CO*, and further enhance the CO yield.

Herein, an alternative approach is adopted to demonstrate that a simple alteration in just one atom (oxygen vs. sulfur) in monomer design can result in significant differences in the physical, chemical, and photophysical properties of the resulting COFs. Specifically, monomers with the same symmetry but containing either urea or thiourea functionalities are used to synthesize two crystalline, fully conjugated emissive COFs, COF-SMU-2 (urea-based), and COF-SMU-3 (thiourea-based), with sql type topology. Steady-state (both in solid state and solution), time-resolved, and broadband femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopies reveal the excited-state exciton dynamics of the two COFs, explaining the dramatic differences in their photoluminescence behaviors. Further, density functional theory (DFT) studies are performed, which confirm the occurrence of charge transfer in these systems. A direct impact of the single atom variation is also observed during I2 adsorption studies. Taken together, this study presents new routes to fabricate COFs with distinct properties by making single-atom modulations, and widens the scope of developing emissive COFs capable of demonstrating excited-state charge transfer, with potential applications in optoelectronics and environmental remediation.","PeriodicalId":149,"journal":{"name":"ChemSusChem","volume":" ","pages":"e2500791"},"PeriodicalIF":7.5,"publicationDate":"2025-07-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144697210","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To date, research has primarily focused on three major processes in SOEC: H2O electrolysis, CO2 electrolysis, and H2O/CO2 co-electrolysis. In contrast, the electrochemical conversion of hydrocarbon fuels, despite its significant potential for value-added chemical production, remains underexplored and lacks a comprehensive systematic review. This review addresses recent progress in SOEC-mediated hydrocarbon conversion, including H2O/CO2 co-electrolysis for syngas generation, methane-assisted electrolysis, and the electrochemical transformation of C2H4 and other hydrocarbons. Particular attention is given to the integration of SOEC with partial oxidation, dry reforming, and oxidative coupling of methane. The review first outlines the structure and key materials of SOEC. It then summarizes the reaction mechanisms, current progress, and major technical challenges associated with each conversion pathway. Finally, it analyzes how advances in electrode material design, reaction mechanism modulation, and reactor engineering influence SOEC performance and long-term durability. Several critical technical bottlenecks, including carbon deposition, electrode degradation, and limited selectivity, are identified. A forward-looking research roadmap is proposed to guide the scale-up and practical deployment of SOEC for sustainable hydrocarbon fuel conversion.","PeriodicalId":149,"journal":{"name":"ChemSusChem","volume":" ","pages":"e2501131"},"PeriodicalIF":7.5,"publicationDate":"2025-07-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144697213","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Efforts have been undertaken to lower these requirements by utilizing ruthenium-based catalysts promoted with alkali metals, which have the potential to lower the energy barrier associated with the dissociative adsorption of nitrogen. In this work, the structure of Ru and Cs species is probed in impregnated RuCs/MgO and Ru/MgO catalysts by operando X-ray absorption spectroscopy during reduction and ammonia synthesis at pressures up to 19 bar(a) in pure gas feed as well as the deactivation behavior with unpure feed containing 25 ppm oxygen. Interconversion of three types of Ru species, including RuO2, highly dispersed RuOx, and metallic Ru, occurs for both studied catalysts. Promotion by Cs leads to higher content of metallic Ru at the expense of dispersed RuOx and results in higher NH3 concentration at the reactor outlet. Exposure of the catalysts to traces of oxygen enables a gradual transformation of bare Cs+ cations to hydrated species [Cs(H2O)x]+. The irreversible deactivation of the catalyst is traced back to the leaching of cesium species, which has a disproportionate effect on the catalytic activity.","PeriodicalId":149,"journal":{"name":"ChemSusChem","volume":" ","pages":"e2501035"},"PeriodicalIF":7.5,"publicationDate":"2025-07-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144697214","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
