However, its practical implementation still faces substantial obstacles, including high energy input and limited selectivity. Here, we report a paired electrochemical system that combines the anodic oxidation of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) hydrolysate, specifically its ethylene glycol (EG) monomer, to glycolic acid (GA) with the cathodic reduction of NO3− to ammonia. All of this is made possible by the discovery of a PdCu alloy anode and a CuCo alloy cathode. Built upon experimental demonstration and a theoretical understanding of the improved CO resistance on the PdCu alloy for EG oxidation, as well as the synergy between Cu and Co for NO3− reduction, our paired system enables the efficient co-production of GA and ammonia from PET hydrolysate and NO3−-containing wastewater. This conceptual design of paired electrochemistry provides an intriguing way to synthesize high-value chemicals from waste resources.","PeriodicalId":53121,"journal":{"name":"Chem Catalysis","volume":"21 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":9.4,"publicationDate":"2025-04-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143790049","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Unfortunately, oxygen vacancies are prone to disappear during photocatalysis processes. Herein, antimony molybdate (Sb2MoO6) is proposed as a photocatalyst for green ammonia synthesis, which achieves ammonia generation rate of 6.39 μM h−1⋅g−1. Oxygen vacancies modulate the MoO6 octahedra, not the tetrahedral, SbO4 bilayers in the triclinic structure of Sb2MoO6 and result in partial reduction of Mo6+ to Mo5+. Instead of oxygen vacancies themselves, Mo5+ serves as active sites, favoring surface adoption of N2 and formation of reaction intermediates. Oxygen vacancies are predominantly refilled over extended photocatalysis, leading to conversion of Mo5+ back to Mo6+ and consequent photocatalyst deactivation. Therefore, cobalt dopant is introduced to stabilize the oxygen vacancies effectively. The scientific insights obtained will guide the development of stable photocatalysts for green ammonia synthesis.","PeriodicalId":53121,"journal":{"name":"Chem Catalysis","volume":"13 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":9.4,"publicationDate":"2025-04-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143776201","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Based on electrochemical analysis and ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) simulation, the identity and concentration of the cation and anion play more important roles in controlling the CO2R reaction pathway than the bulk CO2 solubility and the bulk pH of electrolytes. In situ attenuated reflectance surface enhanced infrared absorption spectroscopy (ATR-SEIRAS) suggests that, unlike 1 M HCOOK, the ∗CO-bridge-binding mode on Cu is dominant in 7.1 M HCOOK electrolyte, which potentially results in less CO release and higher yield of C2H4.

However, the prominent lattice-oxygen-mediated mechanism (LOM) at high oxidative potential leads to crystal destruction and poor operational stability for RuO2. Here, we report that introducing equivalent Ti4+ into RuO2 can significantly suppress the oxidation of lattice oxygen. Spectroscopic and theoretical results demonstrate that Ti4+ incorporation not only decreases the LOM ratio by weakening Ru–O bond covalency but also suppresses the dynamic activation of lattice oxygen at high oxidative bias by inhibiting Ru–O bond contraction. Potential-resolved differential electrochemical mass spectrometry (DEMS) verified the decreased LOM ratio (from 53.45% to 5% at 1.8 V) after Ti4+ incorporation. The equivalent-Ti4+-substituted RuO2 not only exhibits an extended operation time of over 500 h at 100 mA cm−2 but also withstands fluctuating voltage input (1.5–1.8 V) for 120 h in PEMWEs.","PeriodicalId":53121,"journal":{"name":"Chem Catalysis","volume":"73 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":9.4,"publicationDate":"2025-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143766700","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

On this basis, we offer a comprehensive discussion on experimental evidence for identifying OER intermediates experimentally, aligning them with theoretical calculations in designing future green energy systems.

Here, a porous crystalline covalent organic framework (COF) containing Br-bridged dual single-atom Cu(I) sites with an asymmetric coordination environment was rationally designed and confirmed by combining single-crystal X-ray diffraction and X-ray absorption fine structure analyses. The as-synthesized COF-based single-atom Cu catalyst exhibits exceptional performance in the electrochemical CO2 reduction reaction to C2+ products, which surpasses that of most previously reported single-atom catalysts with defined coordination structures. Operando Raman spectroscopy, theoretical calculations, and control experiments were employed to verify the mechanism behind the effectiveness of the catalyst.
