Abstract:
The cooperation between metal single atom (SA) and atomic cluster (AC) within an electrocatalyst has showcased enormous potential in 2e(-) oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) for hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) production. Nevertheless, developing an SA-AC catalyst with the synergy of optimized functional groups to afford advanced catalytic capability has been challenging. Herein, a new and highly effective catalyst with tandem cobalt SA-AC moieties and C & horbar;O & horbar;C functional group decorations anchored over carbon nanotubes is presented, which is denoted as Co SA-AC(C & horbar;O & horbar;C). As an electrocatalyst, Co SA-AC(C & horbar;O & horbar;C) demonstrates favorable activity, selectivity, and stability for 2e(-) ORR, delivering an onset potential of 0.72 V (vs RHE) and an H2O2 selectivity of 97.6% in 0.5 m H2SO4. In a flow-cell reactor, the Co SA-AC(C & horbar;O & horbar;C) realizes an H2O2 production rate of 3.88 mol g(cat)(-1) h(-1) at 300 mA cm(-2) targeting on-site pollutant treatment by integrating a Fenton-like process. The theoretical computations guide the selection of C & horbar;O & horbar;C among the functional group decorations and reveal the actual active sites to locate at Co SAs, while the synergistic effect of Co ACs and C & horbar;O & horbar;C groups helps optimize the *OOH binding and modulate the electronic structure.
