Worldwide, researchers and companies are continuously working on this matter, taking one of two approaches: either finding new energy sources or improving the efficiency of existing ones. Hydrogen is a well-known energy carrier due to its high energy content, but a somewhat elusive one for being a gas with low molecular weight. This review examines the current electrolysis processes for obtaining hydrogen, with an emphasis on alkaline water electrolysis. This process is far from being new, but research shows that there is still plenty of room for improvement. The efficiency of an electrolyzer mainly relates to the overpotential and resistances in the cell. This work shows that the path to better Citation: Santos, A.L.; Cebola, M.-J.; electrolyzer efficiency is through the optimization of the cell components and operating conditions.

Nitrogen-Rich Graphitic-Carbon@Graphene As A
www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Nitrogen‑rich graphitic‑carbon@ graphene as a metal‑free electrocatalyst for oxygen reduction reaction Halima Begum, Mohammad Shamsuddin Ahmed & Young‑Bae Kim* The metal‑free nitrogen‑doped graphitic‑carbon@graphene (Ng‑c@G) is prepared from a composite of polyaniline and graphene by a facile polymerization following by pyrolysis for electrochemical oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). Pyrolysis creates a sponge‑like with ant‑cave‑architecture in the polyaniline derived nitrogenous graphitic‑carbon on graphene. The nitrogenous carbon is highly graphitized and most of the nitrogen atoms are in graphitic and pyridinic forms with less oxygenated is found when pyrolyzed at 800 °C. The electrocatalytic activity of Ng-C@G-800 is even better than the benchmarked Pt/C catalyst resulting in the higher half-wave potential (8 mV) and limiting current density (0.74 mA cm−2) for ORR in alkaline medium. Higher catalytic performance is originated from the special porous structure at microscale level and the abundant graphitic‑ and pyridinic‑n active sites at the nanoscale level on carbon-graphene matrix which are benefcial to the high O2‑mass transportation to those accessible sites. Also, it possesses a higher cycle stability resulting in the negligible potential shift and slight oxidation of pyridinic‑n with better tolerance to the methanol. To save the world from day-by-day increasing energy demands and environmental concerns, the clean, highly efcient and renewable energy technologies are immediately required to be implemented 1. Among various renewable energy technologies, fuel cells (FCs) and metal-air batteries are regarded as the promising clean energy sources because of their high energy conversion efciency and emission-free power generation 2,3.

Herein, BPE is performed to derive both of cathode and anode electrodes for the development of mediatorless/membraneless biofuel cell (BFC). On one hand, a preferable substrate for immobilization of bilirubin oxidase enzyme is prepared based on the electropolymerization of thiophene-3-carboxcylic acid (TCA) on an Au microflm as a bipolar electrode. The resulted biocathode as novel bioelectrocatalyst ofers a high electrocatalytic activity toward direct oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) with onset potential and current density of 0.55 V (vs. Ag/AgCl) and 867 μA cm−2, respectively. On the other hand, another analogous Au bipolar electrode is electroplated through BPE to derive Au nanostructures (AuNSs). This modifed Au electrode is utilized as an anodic platform for immobilization of favin adenine dinucleotide-dependent glucose dehydrogenase (FAD-GDH) enzyme aimed at electrocatalytic glucose oxidation. The prepared bioanode displays a current density of 2.7 mA cm−2 with onset potential of −0.03 V. Finally, the proposed bioanode and biocacthode in an assembled membraneless glucose/O2 BFC ofers a power output of 146 μW cm−2 with open circuit voltage of 0.54 V. This novel BPE method provides disposable electrochemical platforms for design of novel sensors, biosensors or other devices.

The Pt-based expensive catalysts and sluggish kinetics at cathode in oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) hinder the rapid commercialization of fuel cells. The quest for cheap, non-noble metal catalysts to replace Pt-based catalysts has thus become a critical issue in the field of fuel cells. The carbon black (CB) and CB supported catalyst have been explored with the ultimate goal of finding a substitute for Pt-based catalysts in fuel cells. In the present work, we synthesized Zn-based MOF (1), 1 selectivity gives H2O2 followed by two-electron pathways. However, sample 1 modification might be needed to enhance its selectivity for the generation of H2O. Two composites of MOFs with carbon black and 1 were prepared to increase the H2O yield, called 1.CB and 1.SCB. The electrochemical generation of H2O2 was analyzed by the rotating ring disk electrode (RRDE) using catalyst 1. Following the addition of CB, H2O2 yields decreased from above 93% (1) to 59% and 75% for 1.CB and 1.SCB, respectively.

Here we demonstrate that the electrocatalytic activity of manganese-based heterogeneous catalyst can be significantly improved through halogen and nitrogen dual-coordination to modulate the electronic structure of manganese atom. Such an electrocatalyst for CO2 reduction exhibits a maximum CO faradaic efficiency of 97% and high current density of ~10 mA cm−2 at a low overpotential of 0.49 V. Moreover, the turnover frequency can reach 38347 h−1 at overpotential of 0.49 V, which is the highest among the reported heterogeneous electrocatalysts for CO2 reduction. In situ X-ray absorption experiment and density-functional theory calculation reveal the modified electronic structure of the active manganese site, on which the free energy barrier for intermediate formation is greatly reduced, thus resulting in a great improvement of CO2 reduction performance. 1 Beijing National Laboratory for Molecular Sciences (BNLMS), CAS Key Laboratory of Colloid, Interface and Chemical Thermodynamics, CAS Research/ Education Center for Excellence in Molecular Sciences, Institute of Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100190, P.

ABSTRACT Environmental problems and the world growing demand for energy has mobilized the scientific community in finding of clean and renewable energy sources. In this context, fuel cells appear as appropriate technology for generating electricity through alcohols electro-oxidation. Multi Wall Carbon Nanotubes (MWCNT)-supported Pd and trimetallic PdAuSn (Pd:Au:Sn 50:10:40 atomic ratio) electrocatalysts were prepared using electron beam irradiation. The obtained materials were characterized by VC, Chronoamperometry, EDX, TEM and XRD. The catalytic activities of electrocatalysts toward ethanol electro-oxidation were evaluated in alkaline medium in a single alkaline direct ethanol fuel cell (ADEFC) in a range temperature 60 to 90 oC. The best performances were obtained at 85 oC: 33 mW.cm -2 and 31 mW.cm -2 for Pd/ MWCNT and PdAuSn/MWCNT electrocatalysts, respectively. X-ray diffractograms of electrocatalysts showed the presence of Pd-rich (fcc) and Au-rich (fcc) phases.

Earth-Abundant Electrocatalysts for Water Splitting: Current and Future Directions
catalysts Review Earth-Abundant Electrocatalysts for Water Splitting: Current and Future Directions Sami M. Ibn Shamsah Department of Mechanical Engineering, College of Engineering, University of Hafr Al Batin, P.O. Box 1803, Hafr Al Batin 31991, Saudi Arabia; [email protected] Abstract: Of all the available resources given to mankind, the sunlight is perhaps the most abundant renewable energy resource, providing more than enough energy on earth to satisfy all the needs of humanity for several hundred years. Therefore, it is transient and sporadic that poses issues with how the energy can be harvested and processed when the sun does not shine. Scientists assume that electro/photoelectrochemical devices used for water splitting into hydrogen and oxygen may have one solution to solve this hindrance. Water electrolysis-generated hydrogen is an optimal energy carrier to store these forms of energy on scalable levels because the energy density is high, and no air pollution or toxic gas is released into the environment after combustion. However, in order to adopt these devices for readily use, they have to be low-cost for manufacturing and operation. It is thus crucial to develop electrocatalysts for water splitting based on low-cost and land-rich elements. In this review, I will summarize current advances in the synthesis of low-cost earth-abundant electrocatalysts for overall water splitting, with a particular focus on how to be linked with photoelectrocatalytic water splitting devices. The major obstacles that persist in designing these devices. The potential future developments in the production of efﬁcient electrocatalysts for water electrolysis are also described.
