Breaking current limitation of electrochemical CO2 reduction via silica-hydroxide cycle Energy Environ. Sci. (IF 32.5) Pub Date : 2024-04-30 Chulwan Lim, Sangkuk Kim, Ji Hwan Song, Man Ho Han, Young-Jin Ko, Kwan-Young Lee, Jae-Young Choi, Woong Hee Lee, Hyung-Suk Oh
Alkaline local pH during vigorous electrochemical CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) can improve the activity and selectivity of CO2RR. However, it also leads an alkalinity problem that hydroxide ion obstructs the mass transfer of CO2 to the active site, thereby limiting the current density. In this study, we introduce the silica-hydroxide cycle, which moderates the local pH by redistributing hydroxide

Ruthenium nanoparticles decorated with surface hydroxyl and borate species boost the overall seawater splitting via increased hydrophilicity Energy Environ. Sci.

The use of seawater electrolysis for hydrogen production faces several serious challenges including rapid deactivation of electrocatalysts through chloride anion (Cl-) induced corrosion. We have demonstrated that Ru nanoparticles possessing an abundance of surface hydroxyl groups along with borate species (Ru-BOx-OH) have high activity and stability as electrocatalyst for seawater splitting. The optimal

Tubulin, one of the most abundant cytoskeletal building blocks, has numerous isotypes in metazoans encoded by different conserved genes. Whether these distinct isotypes form cell type– and context-specific microtubule structures is poorly understood. Based on a cohort of 12 patients with primary ciliary dyskinesia as well as mouse mutants, we identified and characterized variants in the TUBB4B isotype

In composite solid-state electrolytes, the functional fillers with ferroelectric properties have demonstrated their ability to prompt the dissociation of lithium salt (LiFSI), thereby significantly enhancing ionic conductivity. However, the underlying mechanism has been challenging to fully comprehend, which hinders further improvement in electrolyte performance. Herein, we elucidate the dissociation

As the commercial cathode with the highest practical capacity, the structural nature of Li-rich Mn-based cathodes (LMR), composite or solid solution, is still under debate. Due to the extreme structure similarity of two layered-phase components, monoclinic phase (C2/m) and rhombohedral phase (R-3m), no single tool can resolve this concern alone.
