English, Scientific journal, Abstract
The oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is a critical element for all sorts of reactions that use water as a hydrogen source, such as hydrogen evolution and electrochemical CO2 reduction, and novel design principles that provide highly active sites on OER electrocatalysts push the limits of their practical applications. Herein, Au‐cluster loading on unilamellar exfoliated layered double hydroxide (ULDH) electrocatalysts for the OER is demonstrated to fabricate a heterointerface between Au clusters and ULDHs as an active site, which is accompanied by the oxidation state modulation of the active site and interfacial direct OO coupling (“interfacial DOOC”). The Au‐cluster‐loaded ULDHs exhibit excellent activities for the OER with an overpotential of 189 mV at 10 mA cm−2. X‐ray absorption fine structure measurements reveal that charge transfer from the Au clusters to ULDHs modifies the oxidation states of trivalent metal ions, which can be active sites on the ULDHs. The present study, supported by highly sensitive spectroscopy combining reflection absorption infrared spectroscopy and modulation‐excitation spectroscopy and density functional theory calculations, indicates that active sites at the interface between the Au clusters and ULDHs promote a novel OER mechanism through interfacial DOOC, thereby achieving outstanding catalytic performance. - Enhanced Performance of Protonic Solid Oxide Steam Electrolysis Cell of Zr-Rich Side BaZr0.6Ce0.2Y0.2O3−δ Electrolyte with an Anode Functional Layer

Iridium clusters which are active for oxygen evolution reaction were composited with monolayer nanosheets of layered double hydroxide (LDH) and transition metal chalcogenides (TMD) as electrocatalysts. OER revealed that iridium clusters supported on LDH were highly active. We found that electronic states of iridium clusters were changed to reductive on the LDH nanosheets and oxidative on the TMD nanosheets. High OER performances were achieved on the iridium cluster-loaded TMD nanosheets.

In this study, we synthesized novel highly active electrocatalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER), metal nanoparticle-loaded layered double hydroxide (LDH) nanosheets. Loading of metal nanoparticles enabled to enhance catalytic activities of LDH nanosheets composed of Co2+ or Ni2+ as divalent metal ions. We found that enhancement of catalytic activities was achieved by construction of effective electrode structure for OER and change in electronic states of active sites due to charge transfer between nanosheets and nanoparticles.

種々の条件で合成したHyCOM-TiO_2を合成し、溶媒やカップリング剤の種類を変更してバスケット構造の構築を検討したが細孔を有するボール型のナノバスケットは構築されなかった。HyCOM-TiO_2の多くが球状のような微粒子ではなく、ある程度の厚みを有した六角板状の構造であるため、バスケット構造の構築が困難であることが原因であると考えられる。
焼成処理によって表面Rh種の状態を制御した高活性なRh^<3+>/TiO_2を用い、可視光照射下において本課題の反応の一つであるニトロベンゼンの光触媒的還元反応を行った。2-プロパノール溶媒を用いてこの反応を行ったところ、反応の進行が確認され、65%の選択率でアミノベンゼンを得ることに成功した。これは可視光照射下において金属イオン修飾TiO_2光触媒系を用いて還元的有機合成を行った初めての例である。また、この反応系はTiO_2をベースにした可視光応答型光触媒による還元反応であるため、既存の反応系への応用や他反応系との様々な組み合わせが期待できる。
金属イオン修飾TiO_2を用いたアルコールの選択酸化反応において、さらなる反応性の向上のために反応系における基質(ベンジルアルコールとその酸化生成物)の吸着特性の解析を行った。その結果、基質の酸化速度はTiO_2上への吸着量に依存することを見出した。金属イオン修飾TiO_2を用いた本反応系において基質の酸化速度は吸着量によって決定され、アルコールとアルデヒドの吸着量の差が、アルデヒド生成の高い選択性に寄与していることが明らかになった。これらの結果は、TiO_2ベースの光触媒を用いるアルコールの選択酸化反応系において、今後の触媒設計指針に大きく貢献すると考えられる。
総括すると、HyCOM-TiO_2を用いたバスケット構造の構築には至らなかったが、金属イオン修飾物の制御や、ソルボサーマル法によって合成した新規可視光応答型光触媒により、当初の計画以上の反応の多様性を得るとともに、今後の可視光応答型光触媒の発展が期待される結果を得た。
