The optimized Cu@C/SiO₂–1/4 catalyst exhibited an MG yield of 63 % during 90 h long-term evaluation under temperature of 210 °C, pressure of 1.9 MPa, WHSV of 1.25 g_DMO·g_Cu^-1·h^-1 and H₂/DMO of 150.

The catalytic activity of Cu@C/SiO₂ was linearly dependent on specific area of Cu⁺ species under the sufficient specific area of Cu° for H₂ dissociation. In addition, the sorbitol–derived carbon species on the catalyst were also favorable for the enhanced stability owing to the suppression of Cu sintering.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":22081,"journal":{"name":"Surfaces and Interfaces","volume":"56 ","pages":"Article 105494"},"PeriodicalIF":5.7,"publicationDate":"2024-11-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142721021","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Among the materials, Co-based N-doped carbon (Co-NC) catalysts attract significant attention owing to the appropriate adsorption energy of oxygen intermediates. Nevertheless, the achievement of Co-NC catalysts often suffers from serious agglomeration of cobalt sites under high-temperature pyrolysis, which greatly restricts the electrocatalytic performance of the catalysts. Therefore, increasing the active sites and the intrinsic activity of the catalysts, thus enhancing the oxygen reduction reaction activity remain a challenge. Herein, an ultrasound-assisted fabrication of zeolitic imidazole frameworks (ZIFs) doping strategy is developed to synthesize a cobalt, nickel and nitrogen co-doped carbon catalyst in oxygen electrocatalysis. The introduction of zinc and nickel domains during the synthesis process can avoid the metallic sites from agglomeration and promote the intrinsic activity of Co sites, respectively. In addition, three factors are modulated to control the intensity of the acoustic cavitation effect induced by ultrasound irradiation, including ultrasonic power, ultrasonic frequency and the surface tension of liquid media. The optimized ultrasonic conditions can regulate the pore structure of the carbon substrate, which is beneficial to expose the active sites and boost the mass transfer, thus enhancing the ORR activity maximally. Consequently, the obtained Co₃Ni₁-NC catalyst exhibits an outstanding onset potential at 0.928 V and a half-wave potential at 0.895 V and a power density at 122.73 mW cm^-2 in the zinc-air battery.
