Experimental Values

In moving towards a greener global energy supply, hydrogen fuel cells are expected to play an increasingly significant role. New catalyst support materials are being sought with increased durability. MAX phases show promise as support materials due to their unique properties. The layered structure gives rise to various potential (001) surfaces. DFT is used to determine the most stable (001) surface terminations of Ti2AlC, Ti3AlC2 and Ti3SiC2. The electrical resistivities calculated using BoltzTraP2 show good agreement with the experimental values, with resistivities of 0.460  µΩ  m for Ti2AlC, 0.370  µΩ  m for Ti3AlC2 and 0.268  µΩ  m for Ti3SiC2. Surfaces with Al or Si at the surface and the corresponding Ti surface show the lowest cleavage energy of the different (001) surfaces. MAX phases could therefore be used as electrocatalyst support materials, with Ti3SiC2 showing the greatest potential.

Ensemble Effects

Single-entity electrochemistry allows for assessing electrocatalytic activities of individual material entities such as nanoparticles (NPs). Thus, it becomes possible to consider intrinsic electrochemical properties of nanocatalysts when researching how activity relates to physical and structural material properties. Conversely, conventional electrochemical techniques provide a normalized sum current referring to a huge ensemble of NPs constituting, along with additives (e.g., binders), a complete catalyst-coated electrode. Accordingly, recording electrocatalytic responses of single NPs avoids interferences of ensemble effects and reduces the complexity of electrocatalytic processes, thus enabling detailed description and modelling. Herein, we present insights into the oxygen evolution catalysis at individual cubic Co3O4 NPs impacting microelectrodes of different support materials. Simulating diffusion at supported nanocubes, measured step current signals can be analyzed, providing edge lengths, corresponding size distributions, and interference-free turnover frequencies. The provided nano-impact investigation of (electro-)catalyst-support effects contradicts assumptions on a low number of highly active sites.

AbstractOptical emission spectra of a CH4/H2/Ar gas mixture plasma were observed during carbon nanotube (CNT) growth in RF plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition. CNTs with diameters of ∼10-30 nm and length of ∼6 μm were grown on double- and triple-layered films of catalyst/support materials (FexOy/TiO2 and Al2O3/FexOy/Al2O3) at the total gas pressures of 1-10 Torr with gas flow rates of CH4 = 27 sccm, H2 = 3 sccm, and Ar = 1 sccm. The number density of CNTs increased with the gas pressure, and Al2O3/FexOy/Al2O3 (each thickness of 1 nm) film yielded the thinnest CNTs with a high number density among the present catalysts. The spatial distributions of H atom relative density in the plasma were obtained by actinometry. The H relative density decreased with the pressure, and this suggests the suppression of CH3 radical generation in the plasma.
