A Pt cathode (Pt(w-MeIm)) prepared by a mixed metal-imidazole casting (MiMIC) method showed a remarkably superior hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) performance compared to the cathode prepared without imidazole (Pt(w/o-MeIm)), and the common Pt-based benchmark cathodes of Pt/C or the Pt plate.

The understanding of O–O bond formation is of great importance for revealing the mechanism of water oxidation in photosynthesis and for developing efficient catalysts for water oxidation in artificial photosynthesis. The chemical oxidation of the Ru^II₂(OH)(OH₂) core with the vicinal OH and OH₂ ligands was spectroscopically and theoretically investigated to provide a mechanistic insight into the O–O bond formation in the core. We demonstrate O–O bond formation at the low-valent Ru^III₂(OH) core with the vicinal OH ligands to form the Ru^II₂(μ-OOH) core with a μ-OOH bridge. The O–O bond formation is induced by deprotonation of one of the OH ligands of Ru^III₂(OH)₂ via intramolecular coupling of the OH and deprotonated O⁻ ligands, conjugated with two-electron transfer from two Ru^III centers to their ligands. The intersystem crossing between singlet and triple states of Ru^II₂(μ-OOH) is easily switched by exchange of H⁺ between the μ-OOH bridge and the auxiliary backbone ligand.

The unprecedentedly low overpotential of 32 mV for oxygen evolution was attained by forming a unique motif of NiS_{<italic>x</italic>} nanowires stuffed into C₃N₄ scabbards. With this system, electrocatalytic water splitting was demonstrated at the lowest overall overpotential of 72 mV.

© 2020 A mononuclear Ru aquo complex, [Ru(C8Otpy)(H2dcbpy)(OH2)]2+ (C8Otpy = 4′-octyloxy-2,2′:6′,2′′-terpyridine, H2dcbpy = 4,4′-dicarboxy-2,2′-bipyridine) was stably adsorbed on a nanoporous TiO2 surface to afford a TiO2 electrode anchoring the complex. The adsorption isothermal of the complex on the TiO2 surface was analyzed by the Langmuir adsorption model to provide a maximum coverage of Гmax = 4.4 × 10−8 mol cm−2 and an adsorption equilibrium constant of Kads = 1.1 × 104 M−1, suggesting that the monolayer of the complex is formed on the TiO2 surface. The cyclic voltammetry measurement of the complex on the TiO2 surface suggested the diffusion-controlled charge transport via electron hopping between the complexes through the TiO2 layer. Pourbaix diagram showed that the complex undergoes a non-H+-coupled 1e- redox reaction of a RuIIOH/RuIIIOH pair of the complex on the TiO2 electrode due to pH buffering ability of the TiO2 surface in a range of pH 5−11. Bulk electrolysis at 1.7 V vs Ag/AgCl using the complex-anchoring TiO2 electrode provided a high and steady catalytic current density of 0.39 mA cm−2 with 83 % Faradaic efficiency for O2 evolution during 1 h electrolysis. However, we presume that the complex is transformed to RuOx nanoparticles on the TiO2 electrode during the electrocatalysis, on the basis of our earlier report on the complex / mesoporous ITO electrode system (Dalton Trans., 2020, 49, 1416−1423.). The RuOH/TiO2 electrode is the efficient anode for water oxidation under the acidic conditions, irrespective of the molecular catalyst of RuOH and the alternative catalysts formed via its oxidative transformation.

A non-heme Fe complex with a tetradentate dicarboxamide N-4 in-plane ligand works efficiently and selectively for the electrocatalytic CO2-to-CO conversion in a homogeneous DMF solution. The complex was immobilized on a nitrogen-doped graphene (N-G) to achieve a CO2-to-CO conversion in neutral aqueous NaHCO3 solutions, affording CO with Faradaic efficiency of 90%, a current density of 6 mA cm(-2), and a turnover frequency of 2.1 s(-1), at an overpotential of 0.47 V, which is among those of the hitherto-reported efficient and selective Fe complexes electrocatalysts.

A new mononuclear Ru aquo complex [Ru(C8Otpy)(H2dcbpy)(OH2)]2+ with 4,4'-dicarboxy-2,2'-bipyridine (H2dcbpy) and 4'-octyloxy-2,2':6',2''-terpyridine (C8Otpy) ligands was synthesized to investigate electrocatalytic water oxidation by the complex immobilized on a mesoporous indium-doped tin oxide (meso-ITO) electrode using a multi-potential-step chronocoulospectrometric (MPSCCS) technique. UV-visible absorption spectroscopic data indicated that [Ru(C8Otpy)(dcbpy)(OH2)] (RuOH2) is deprotonated to [Ru(C8Otpy)(dcbpy)(OH)]- (RuOH) on the meso-ITO surface even at pH 5.9 of the electrolyte solution. The cyclic voltammogram (CV) of the RuOH/meso-ITO electrode showed a pH-independent redox response at E1/2 = 0.80 V vs. Ag/AgCl in the pH range of 5-12, being assigned to a non-proton-coupled 1e- redox process of RuIIOH/RuIIIOH. The MPSCCS measurement of the RuOH/meso-ITO electrode between 0.2 and 1.5 V vs. Ag/AgCl showed that RuIV species (tentatively RuIVO) exist in a steady state of the electrocatalysis in the initial stage. This suggests that the electrochemical oxidation from RuIVO to RuVO could compete with the water nucleophilic attack for O-O bond formation involved in the rate-determining step under the employed conditions. The possibility that the water nucleophilic attack on RuIVO could also compete with the electrochemical oxidation of RuIVO to RuVO was suggested by the electrocatalytic water oxidation at a low applied potential of 1.4 V prior to the formation potential of RuVO. The MPSCCS measurement at 1.4 V for 1 h showed that RuOH is gradually transformed into an alternative catalyst (most likely RuOx nanoparticles) on the electrode. The MPSCCS technique is promising to reveal the redox reactions and catalytic aspects of molecular catalysts immobilized on an electrode for water oxidation.

Nanorod architecture of a N-2-intercalated WO3 photoanode has been developed by emphasizing the dual role of N2H4, which functioned simultaneously as a structure-directing agent and as a nitrogen source for in situ N-2 intercalation. The N content for WO3-N2H4 increased with increase of calcination temperature from 350 to 420 degrees C and thereafter decreased up to 550 degrees C. This is different from the monotonously decreased N content with the calcination temperature increase for WO3-NH3. X-ray diffraction data indicated that the phase-pure monoclinic WO3 crystals are formed over 350 degrees C calcination for WO3-N2H4, in contrast to a mixed phase of hexagonal and monoclinic WO3 crystals below 500 degrees C for WO3-NH3. The crystallinity of the monoclinic phase for WO3-N2H4 is higher than those of WO3-neat and WO3-NH3 at each calcination temperature of 350-550 degrees C. The beta values of lattice parameters of the monoclinic phase changed significantly with the calcination temperature; this is consistent with the calcination temperature dependence of the N content, clarifying the intercalation of N-2 in the WO3 lattice. The UV-visible diffuse reflectance spectra of WO3-N2H4 exhibited a shoulder at 470-630 nm, which became more intense as the calcination temperature increased from 350 degrees C and then decreased up to 550 degrees C through the maximum at 420 degrees C. This temperature dependence is consistent with the cases of the N content and the lattice parameter of beta. This indicates that N-2 intercalation into the WO3 lattice is responsible for the considerable red shift in the absorption edge, with a new shoulder appearing at 470-630 nm due to transition from a new intermediate N 2p orbital formed in the conduction band of WO3. Based on this transition, the WO3-N2H4 photoanode can utilize the visible light in longer wavelength below 520 nm for photoelectrochemical water oxidation compared to 470 nm for WO3-neat. The high incident photon-to-current conversion efficiency of the WO3-N2H4 photoanode is due to efficient electron transport through the WO3 nanorod film.
