The distribution of Al and the adsorption of NH3 and pyridine in both Na-form and H-form ZSM-12 were investigated using dispersion-corrected density functional theory. It was found that the energy differences for Al atoms in the different T sites of ZSM-12 (both H form and Na form) were less than 0.3 eV, which indicates that the Al atoms could distribute in all kinds of T sites in ZSM-12. In addition, the small energy difference indicates that both H and Na atoms could stay in either the small cage or the main channel of ZSM-12. The adsorption of NH3 and pyridine on NaZSM-12 is weak, while the adsorption of NH3 and pyridine on HZSM-12 is strong, as they could form NH4+ and NC5H6+ species in the presence of protons. Both NH3 and pyridine could adsorb on the Lewis Al3+ sites in HZSM-12, while the adsorption of NH3 and pyridine on the Lewis acid sites are less stable than on the Brønsted acid sites of ZSM-12.

Abstract Elucidating the structure-property relationship is crucial for the design of advanced electrocatalysts towards the production of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). In this work, we theoretically and experimentally discovered that atomically dispersed Lewis acid sites (octahedral M–O species, M = aluminum (Al), gallium (Ga)) regulate the electronic structure of adjacent carbon catalyst sites. Density functional theory calculation predicts that the octahedral M–O with strong Lewis acidity regulates the electronic distribution of the adjacent carbon site and thus optimizes the adsorption and desorption strength of reaction intermediate (*OOH). Experimentally, the optimal catalyst (oxygen-rich carbon with atomically dispersed Al, denoted as O-C(Al)) with the strongest Lewis acidity exhibited excellent onset potential (0.822 and 0.526 V versus reversible hydrogen electrode at 0.1 mA cm−2 H2O2 current in alkaline and neutral media, respectively) and high H2O2 selectivity over a wide voltage range. This study provides a highly efficient and low-cost electrocatalyst for electrochemical H2O2 production.
