Mixed‐Phase Niobium Oxide as a Durable and Ultra‐Fast Charging Anode for High‐Power Lithium‐Ion Batteries
The development of low‐cost, high‐power lithium‐ion batteries requires durable anode materials that can store and release lithium quickly. Here a mixed phase of H‐Nb2O5 and M‐Nb2O5 (denoted as d‐H,M‐Nb2O5) that demonstrates excellent performance as an anode material for lithium storage is reported. Experimental and computational analyses reveal several salient features of d‐H,M‐Nb2O5. First, the edge‐sharing arrangement between the mixed niobium oxygen polyhedral block structures helps alleviate volume expansion during cycling, thereby enhancing stability and reversibility. Second, the mixed‐phase structure facilitates a continuous pathway for lithium ion adsorption These characteristics allow for sequential transport of lithium ions, enabling fast charging. As a result, the d‐H,M‐Nb2O5 electrode material exhibits a high capacity of 142 mAh g−1 at an ultra‐fast charging rate of 100 C, while …

Harnessing High‐Throughput Computational Methods to Accelerate the Discovery of Optimal Proton Conductors for High‐Performance and Durable Protonic Ceramic Electrochemical Cells
The pursuit of high‐performance and long‐lasting protonic ceramic electrochemical cells (PCECs) has been impeded by the lack of efficient and enduring proton conductors. Conventional research approaches, predominantly based on a trial‐and‐error methodology, have proven to be demanding of resources and time‐consuming. Here we report our findings in harnessing high‐throughput computational methods to expedite the discovery of optimal electrolytes for PCECs. We methodically computed the oxygen vacancy formation energy (EV), hydration energy (EH), and the adsorption energies of H2O and CO2 for a set of 932 oxide candidates. Notably, our findings highlight BaSnxCe0.8‐xYb0.2O3‐δ (BSCYb) as a prospective game‐changing contender, displaying superior proton conductivity and chemical resilience when compared to the well‐regarded BaZrxCe0.8‐xY0.1Yb0.1O3‐δ (BZCYYb) series …

Rh@ Au Core–Shell Nanocrystals with the Core in Tensile Strain and the Shell in Compressive Strain
Bimetallic nanocrystals provide a versatile platform for utilizing the desired characteristics of two different elements within one particle. Core–shell nanocrystals, in particular, have found widespread use in catalysis by providing an ability to leverage the strains arising from the lattice mismatch between the core and the shell. However, large (>5%) lattice mismatch tends to result in nonepitaxial growth and lattice defects in an effort to release the strain. Herein, we report the epitaxial growth of Au on Rh cubic seeds under mild reaction conditions to generate Rh@Au truncated octahedra featuring a lattice mismatch of 7.2%. Key to the success was the use of small (4.5 nm) Rh cubes as seeds, which could homogeneously distribute the tensile strain arising from the epitaxial growth of a conformal, compressively strained Au shell. Further, delicate tuning of kinetic parameters through the introduction of NaOH and KBr into …

Thermal Stability of Au Rhombic Dodecahedral Nanocrystals Can Be Greatly Enhanced by Coating Their Surface with an Ultrathin Shell of Pt
Rhombic dodecahedral nanocrystals have been considered particularly difficult to synthesize because they are enclosed by {110}, a low-index facet with the greatest surface energy. Recently, we demonstrated the use of seed-mediated growth for the facile and robust synthesis of Au rhombic dodecahedral nanocrystals (AuRD). While the unique shape and surface structure of AuRD are desirable for potential applications in plasmonics and catalysis, respectively, their high surface energy makes them highly susceptible to thermal degradation. Here we demonstrate that it is feasible to greatly improve the thermal stability with some sacrifice to the plasmonic properties of the original AuRD by coating their surface with an ultrathin shell made of Pt. Our in situ electron microscopy analysis indicates that the ultrathin Pt coating can increase the thermal stability from 60 up to 450 °C, a trend that is also supported by the …

Highly Efficient La/Ni Co-doped Strontium Titanate Catalyst for Co-production of Propylene and Hydrogen from Propane in Protonic Ceramic Electrochemical Cells
A highly efficient La/Ni co-doped strontium titanate (LSNT) perovskite catalyst is developed and integrated in a protonic ceramic electrochemical cell for co-production of propylene and high-purity hydrogen from commercial propane feedstock. Propane conversion and hydrogen production rate can be effectively enhanced under an applied current due to the electrochemical promotion effect and/or shifted reaction equilibrium induced by rapid separation of hydrogen product. Water vapor in the feed gas could significantly improve the catalyst stability by suppressing the coke formation. The propane conversion could reach up to 53% at 600 °C under a current density of 90 mA cm-2. The LSNT catalyst also shows excellent tolerance for the sulfur contaminant in commercial propane gas. The excellent performance of the LSNT catalyst is attributed to the highly active and selective Ni species at the interface with the …

Elucidating the Role of Reduction Kinetics in the Phase-Controlled Growth on Preformed Nanocrystal Seeds: A Case Study of Ru
This study demonstrates the crucial role of reduction kinetics in phase-controlled synthesis of noble-metal nanocrystals using Ru nanocrystals as a case study. We found that the reduction kinetics played a more important role than the templating effect from the preformed seed in dictating the crystal structure of the deposited overlayers despite their intertwined effects on successful epitaxial growth. By employing two different polyols, a series of Ru nanocrystals with tunable sizes of 3–7 nm and distinct patterns of crystal phase were synthesized by incorporating different types of Ru seeds. Notably, the use of ethylene glycol and triethylene glycol consistently resulted in the formation of Ru shell in natural hexagonal close-packed (hcp) and metastable face-centered cubic (fcc) phases, respectively, regardless of the size and phase of the seed. Quantitative measurements and theoretical calculations suggested that this …

Catalysis Sans Catalyst Loss: The Origins of Prolonged Stability of Graphene–Metal–Graphene Sandwich Architecture for Oxygen Reduction Reactions
Over the past decades, the design of active catalysts has been the subject of intense research efforts. However, there has been significantly less deliberate emphasis on rationally designing a catalyst system with a prolonged stability. A major obstacle comes from the ambiguity behind how catalyst degrades. Several degradation mechanisms are proposed in literature, but with a lack of systematic studies, the causal relations between degradation and those proposed mechanisms remain ambiguous. Here, a systematic study of a catalyst system comprising of small particles and single atoms of Pt sandwiched between graphene layers, GR/Pt/GR, is studied to unravel the degradation mechanism of the studied electrocatalyst for oxygen reduction reaction(ORR). Catalyst suffers from atomic dissolution under ORR harsh acidic and oxidizing operation voltages. Single atoms trapped in point defects within the top …

A new class of proton conductors with dramatically enhanced stability and high conductivity for reversible solid oxide cells
Reversible solid oxide cells based on proton conductors (P‐ReSOCs) have potential to be the most efficient and low‐cost option for large‐scale energy storage and power generation, holding promise as an enabler for the implementation of intermittent renewable energy technologies and the widespread utilization of hydrogen. Here, the rational design of a new class of hexavalent Mo/W‐doped proton‐conducting electrolytes with excellent durability while maintaining high conductivity is reported. Specifically, BaMo(W)0.03Ce0.71Yb0.26O3‐δ exhibits dramatically enhanced chemical stability against high concentrations of steam and carbon dioxide than the state‐of‐the‐art electrolyte materials while retaining similar ionic conductivity. In addition, P‐ReSOCs based on BaW0.03Ce0.71Yb0.26O3‐δ demonstrate high peak power densities of 1.54, 1.03, 0.72, and 0.48 W cm−2 at 650, 600, 550, and 500 °C, respectively …
