Abstract
The development of effective oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and urea oxidation reaction (UOR) on heterostructure electrocatalysts with specific interfaces and characteristics provides a distinctive character. In this study, heterostructure nanocubes (NCs) comprising inner cobalt oxysulfide (CoOS) NCs and outer CoFe (CF) layered double hydroxide (LDH) are developed using a hydrothermal methodology. During the sulfidation process, the divalent sulfur ions (S2-) are released from the breakdown of the sulfur source and react with the Co-precursors on the surface leading to the transformation of CoOH nanorods into CoOS nanocubes. Further, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) analyses reveal that the interactions at the interface of the CF@CoOS NCs significantly altered the electronic structure, thus enhancing the electrocatalytic performance. The optimal catalysts exhibited effective OER and UOR activities, the attained potentials are 1.51 and 1.36 V. This remarkable performance is attributable to the induction of electron transfer from the CoFe LDH to CoOS, which reduces the energy barrier of the intermediates for the OER and UOR. Furthermore, an alkaline water and urea two-cell electrolyzer assembled using CF@CoOS-2 NCs and Pt/C as the anode and cathode requires a cell voltage of 1.63 and 1.56 V along with a durability performance.

Abstract
Transition metal borides, carbides, pnictides, and chalcogenides (X-ides) have emerged as a class of materials for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Because of their high earth abundance, electrical conductivity, and OER performance, these electrocatalysts have the potential to enable the practical application of green energy conversion and storage. Under OER potentials, X-ide electrocatalysts demonstrate various degrees of oxidation resistance due to their differences in chemical composition, crystal structure, and morphology. Depending on their resistance to oxidation, these catalysts will fall into one of three post-OER electrocatalyst categories: fully oxidized oxide/(oxy)hydroxide material, partially oxidized core@shell structure, and unoxidized material. In the past ten years (from 2013 to 2022), over 890 peer-reviewed research papers have focused on X-ide OER electrocatalysts. Previous review papers have provided limited conclusions and have omitted the significance of "catalytically active sites/species/phases" in X-ide OER electrocatalysts. In this review, a comprehensive summary of (i) experimental parameters (e.g., substrates, electrocatalyst loading amounts, geometric overpotentials, Tafel slopes, etc.) and (ii) electrochemical stability tests and post-analyses in X-ide OER electrocatalyst publications from 2013 to 2022 is provided. Both mono and polyanion X-ides are discussed and classified with respect to their material transformation during the OER. Special analytical techniques employed to study X-ide reconstruction are also evaluated. Additionally, future challenges and questions yet to be answered are provided in each section. This review aims to provide researchers with a toolkit to approach X-ide OER electrocatalyst research and to showcase necessary avenues for future investigation.

Abstract
In this study, we investigated the thermal stabilities of butylphosphonic acid (BPA) and aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) self-assembled monolayers (SAM) on a Si substrate. The thermal desorption and the thermal cleavage of the BPA and APTES SAM film on the Si substrate were studied by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) upon thermal treatment from 50 to 550 °C. XPS analyses show that the onset of the thermal desorption of the APTES monolayer occurs at 250 °C and the APTES SAM completely decomposed at 400 °C. Conversely, BPA SAM on Si shows that the onset of thermal desorption occurs at 350 °C, and the BPA SAM completely desorbed at approximately 500 °C. Our study revealed that the organophosphonate SAM is a more stable SAM in modifying the dielectric sidewalls of a Cu interconnect when compared to organosilane SAM. To overcome the spontaneous reaction of the organophosphonate film on the metal substrate, a simple orthogonal functionalization method using thiolate SAM as a sacrificial layer was also demonstrated in this study.

Investigation of Sulfonium-Iodide-Based Ionic Liquids to Inhibit Corrosion of API 5L X52 Steel in Different Flow Regimes in Acid Medium. ACS OMEGA 2022; 7:42975-42993. [PMID: 36467960 PMCID: PMC9713877 DOI: 10.1021/acsomega.2c05192] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/12/2022] [Accepted: 10/20/2022] [Indexed: 05/13/2023]
Abstract
The present work deals with the corrosion inhibition mechanism of API 5L X52 steel in 1 M H2SO4 employing the ionic liquid (IL) decyl(dimethyl)sulfonium iodide [DDMS+I-]. Such a mechanism was elicited by the polarization resistance (R p), potentiodynamic polarization (PDP), and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) techniques, both in stationary and dynamic states. The electrochemical results indicated that the corrosion inhibition was controlled by a charge transfer process and that the IL behaved as a mixed-type corrosion inhibitor (CI) with anodic preference. The experimental results revealed maximal inhibition efficiency (IE) rates up to 93% at 150 ppm in the stationary state, whereas in turbulent flow, the IE fell to 65% due to the formation of microvortexes that promoted higher desorption of IL molecules from the surface. The Gibbs free energy of adsorption (ΔG°ads) value of -34.89 kJ mol-1, obtained through the Langmuir isotherm, indicated the formation of an IL monolayer on the metal surface by combining physisorption and chemisorption. The surface analysis techniques confirmed the presence of Fe x O y , FeOOH, and IL on the surface and showed that corrosion damage diminished in the presence of IL. Furthermore, the quantum chemistry calculations (DFT) indicated that the iodide anion hosted most of the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO), which eased its adsorption on the anodic sites, preventing the deposition of sulfate ions on the electrode surface.

Abstract
Facing low reactivity/selectivity of oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in electro-Fenton (EF), N, S atoms were introduced into carbon-based cathode. "End-on" O2 adsorption was achieved by adjusting electronic nature via N doping, while *OOH binding capability was tuned by spin density variation via S doping. Results showed the optimized N, S co-doped cathode presented a 42.47% improvement of H2O2 accumulation (7.95 ± 0.02 mg L-1 cm-2). According to density functional theory (DFT), N, S co-doped structure favored the "end-on" O2 adsorption as adsorption energy dropped to - 2.24 eV. Moreover, O-O/C-O bond lengths variation proved a possibility for *OOH desorption. The elaborated cathode was used in EF for sulfonamides (SAs) decay. A 100% removal rate of sulfadiazine (SDZ), sulfathiazole (STZ) and sulfadimethoxine (SDM) was achieved within 60 min, among which SDZ tended to be degraded easily. Because the absolute hardness (η) of those pollutants is ranked as follows: ηSDM> ηSTZ> ηSDZ. Degradation pathways were proposed based on the detected byproducts, along with toxicity was evaluated by ecological structure-activity relationship (ECOSAR) program. Results showed that toxic intermediates generated were reduced or even disappeared. EF with N, S co-doped cathode provides a promising process for antibiotics wastewater treatment.

Activation of peroxymonosulfate by cobalt-impregnated biochar for atrazine degradation: The pivotal roles of persistent free radicals and ecotoxicity assessment. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2020; 398:122768.

Abstract
Cobalt-mediated activation of peroxymonosulfate (PMS) has been extensively investigated for the degradation of emerging organic pollutants. In this study, PMS activation via cobalt-impregnated biochar towards atrazine (ATZ) degradation was systematically examined, and the underlying reaction mechanism was explicated. It was found that persistent free radicals (PFRs) contained in biochar play a pivotal role in PMS activation process. The PFRs enabled an efficient transfer electron to both cobalt atom and O2, facilitating the recycle of Co(III)/Co(II), and thereby leaded to an excellent catalytic performance. In contrast to oxic condition, the elimination of dissolved oxygen significantly retarded the ATZ degradation efficiency from 0.76 to 0.36 min-1. Radical scavenging experiments and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) analysis confirmed that the ATZ degradation was primarily due to SO4·- and, to a lesser extent, ·OH. In addition, dual descriptor (DD) method was carried out to reveal reactive sites on ATZ for radicals attacking and predicted derivatives. Meanwhile, the possible ATZ degradation pathways were accordingly proposed, and the ecotoxicity evaluation of the oxidation intermediates was also conducted by ECOSAR. Consequently, the cobalt-impregnated biochar could be an efficient and environmentally friendly catalyst to activate PMS for abatement and detoxication of ATZ.

Abstract
Rational synthesis of bifunctional electrocatalysts with high performance and strong durability is highly demanded rechargeable metal-air battery. In this work, ZIF-derived Co9S8/C coated with conductive graphene nanosheet (Co9S8/GN) was synthesized by a simple solvothermal method and formed a stable double-carbon structure. As expected, the prepared Co9S8/GN catalyst exhibits a high catalytic activity (ΔE: 0.88 V) and long-term durability toward both oxygen reduction reaction and oxygen evolution reaction (ORR and OER), which is even superior to the Pt/C + Ir/C mixture (0.91 V). In addition, the Zn-air battery with the Co9S8/GN catalyst showed higher power density (186 mW cm-2) and more stable charge-discharge cycling performances (2000 cycles) than the Pt/C + Ir/C (118 mW cm-2). Based on these analysis results, the favorable catalytic performance of ORR/OER should be illustrated by the following reasons: (i) large specific surface area and unique mesoporous structure, providing abundant active sites; (ii) good conductivity, accelerating the electrons transfer; and (iii) the unique stable "double-carbon" structures (metal-S-C-C), preventing the agglomeration of metal sulfide, building new quick transfer pathway, and forming the strong electron coupling ability and synergistic effect.

Abstract
Here, ferrocene(Fc)-incorporated cobalt sulfide (Cox Sy ) nanostructures directly grown on carbon nanotube (CNT) or carbon fiber (CF) networks for electrochemical oxygen evolution reaction (OER) using a facile one-step solvothermal method are reported. The strong synergistic interaction between Fc-Cox Sy nanostructures and electrically conductive CNTs results in the superior electrocatalytic activity with a very small overpotential of ≈304 mV at 10 mA cm-2 and a low Tafel slope of 54.2 mV dec-1 in 1 m KOH electrolyte. Furthermore, the Fc-incorporated Cox Sy (FCoS) nanostructures are directly grown on the acid pretreated carbon fiber (ACF), and the resulting fabricated electrode delivers excellent OER performance with a low overpotential of ≈315 mV at 10 mA cm-2 . Such superior OER catalytic activity can be attributed to 3D Fc-Cox Sy nanoarchitectures that consist of a high concentration of vertical nanosheets with uniform distribution of nanoparticles that afford a large number of active surface areas and edge sites. Besides, the tight contact interface between ACF substrate and Fc-Cox Sy nanostructures could effectively facilitate the electron transfer rate in the OER. This study provides valuable insights for the rational design of energy storage and conversion materials by the incorporation of other transition metal into metal sulfide/oxide nanostructures utilizing metallocene.
