Urea electrolysis (UE) represents a promising path for hydrogen production as an alternative to water electrolysis with a low thermodynamic potential of 0.37 V and the additional function of urea pollutant degradation. However, the sluggish kinetics caused by the six-electron processes increase the barrier energy for the urea oxidation reaction (UO...

Ionic liquids (ILs) can significantly reduce the overpotential of CO2 electrocatalytic reduction reaction (CO2RR) and thus show a huge application potential in the CO2 conversion. However, it has not been clear what role ILs play in the reaction occurring at the solid-liquid interface of the electrodes. In this work, we performed comprehensive DFT ...

The electrocatalytic transformation of carbon dioxide (CO2) to formate is a promising route for highly efficient conversion and utilization of CO2 gas, due to the low production cost and the ease of storage of formate. In this work, porous poly(ionic liquid) (PPIL)-based tin-silver (Sn-Ag) bimetallic hybrids (PPILm-SnxAg10-x) are prepared for high-...

The catalytic activity and stability of palladium (Pd)-based electrocatalysts for ethanol oxidation reaction (EOR) and oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) can be improved by optimizing their composition and structure. Alloying tin (Sn) into Pd can induce electronic and synergistic effects, which weaken the adsorption of intermediate species (e.g., O an...
