  • Pentagon‐Rich Caged Carbon Catalyst for the Oxygen Reduction Reaction in Acidic Electrolytes

    研究論文(学術雑誌), The interaction between electron spin and oxygen molecules in non‐platinum catalysts, particularly carbon catalysts, significantly influences the catalytic performance of the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). A promising approach to developing high‐performance catalysts involves introducing five‐membered ring structures with spin electrons into graphitic carbons. In this study, we present the successful synthesis of cage‐like cubic carbon catalysts enriched with pentagon structures using pentagon ring‐containing C60 and a NaCl template. The number of pentagons contained in the structure was increased by doping with nitrogen and annealing, and the number of electron spins also increased, thereby improving catalytic activity. The prepared catalyst exhibits remarkable activity in ORR under acidic electrolytes. Furthermore, we elucidate the correlation between the pentagon structure, the number of spin electrons, and catalytic activity, demonstrating that enhanced activity is contingent upon the presence of spin electrons. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations support the role of spin electrons in improving activity. The concept of spin electrons and the introduction of pentagon structures provide new design principles for carbon catalysts.
  • Critical impacts of interfacial water on C–H activation in photocatalytic methane conversion

    研究論文(学術雑誌), Abstract

    On-site and on-demand photocatalytic methane conversion under ambient conditions is one of the urgent global challenges for the sustainable use of ubiquitous methane resources. However, the lack of microscopic knowledge on its reaction mechanism prevents the development of engineering strategies for methane photocatalysis. Combining real-time mass spectrometry and operando infrared absorption spectroscopy with ab initio molecular dynamics simulations, here we report key molecular-level insights into photocatalytic green utilization of methane. Activation of the robust C–H bond of methane is hardly induced by the direct interaction with photogenerated holes trapped at the surface of photocatalyst; instead, the C–H activation is significantly promoted by the photoactivated interfacial water species. The interfacial water hydrates and properly stabilizes hydrocarbon radical intermediates, thereby suppressing their overstabilization. Owing to these water-assisted effects, the photocatalytic conversion rates of methane under wet conditions are dramatically improved by typically more than 30 times at ambient temperatures (~300 K) and pressures (~1 atm) in comparison to those under dry conditions. This study sheds new light on the role of interfacial water and provides a firm basis for design strategies for non-thermal heterogeneous catalysis of methane under ambient conditions.

    On-site and on-demand photocatalytic methane conversion under mild conditions is one of the urgent global challenges for the sustainable use of ubiquitous methane resources. However, the lack of accurate knowledge of the reaction mechanism prevents the development of engineering strategies for methane photocatalysis. Combining real-time mass spectrometry and operando infrared absorption spectroscopy with ab initio molecular dynamics simulations, here we report key molecular-level insights into photocatalytic green utilization of methane. The photoactivated water dramatically promotes the activation of robust C–H bond of methane, and stabilizes the •CH3 intermediates in the interfacial hydrogen-bond network of water. Owing to the moderate stabilization of •CH3, the overall photocatalytic conversion rates are dramatically improved by typically more than 30 times at ambient temperatures (~300 K) and pressures (~1 atm). The increase in reaction activity is noticeable also in C1 to C2 evolution of methane, although water is not explicitly involved in the reaction equation (2CH4 → C2H6 + H2). These marked water-assisted effects in the interfacial chemistry should affect the basic understanding and the designing strategies on the non-thermal heterogeneous catalysis of methane under ambient conditions.

    英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), ABSTRACT: The reaction mechanism of the CH3OH synthesis by the hydrogenation of CO2 on Cu catalysts is unclear because of the challenge in experimentally detecting reaction intermediates formed by the hydrogenation of adsorbed formate (HCOOa). Thus, the objective of this study is to clarify the reaction mechanism of the CH3OH synthesis by establishing the kinetic natures of intermediates formed by the hydrogenation of adsorbed HCOOa on Cu(111). We exposed HCOOa on Cu(111) to atomic hydrogen at low temperatures of 200-250 K and observed the species using infrared reflection absorption (IRA) spectroscopy and temperature-programmed desorption (TPD) studies. In the IRA spectra, a new peak was observed upon the exposure of HCOOa on Cu(111) to atomic hydrogen at 200 K and was assigned to the adsorbed dioxymethylene (H2COOa) species. The intensity of the new peak gradually decreased with heating from 200 to 290 K, whereas the IR peaks representing HCOOa species increased correspondingly. In addition, small amounts of formaldehyde (HCHO), which were formed by the exposure of HCOOa species to atomic hydrogen, were detected in the TPD studies. Therefore, H2COOa is formed via hydrogenation by atomic hydrogen, which thermally decomposes at similar to 250 K on Cu(111). We propose a potential diagram of the CH3OH synthesis via H2COOa from CO2 on Cu surfaces, with the aid of density functional theory calculations and literature data, in which the hydrogenation of bidentate HCOOa to H2COOa is potentially the rate-determining step and accounts for the apparent activation energy of the methanol synthesis from CO2 on Cu surfaces.

  • Role of Pyridinic Nitrogen in the Mechanism of the Oxygen Reduction Reaction on Carbon Electrocatalysts
    Kotaro Takeyasu, Moeko Furukawa, Yuto Shimoyama, Santosh K. Singh, Junji Nakamura
    Angewandte Chemie International Edition, 60, 10, 5121, 5124, Wiley, 2021年03月, [査読有り], [筆頭著者, 責任著者]
    英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), The introduction of pyridinic nitrogen (pyri-N) into carbon-based electrocatalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction is considered to create new active sites. Herein, the role of pyri-N in such catalysts was investigated from a mechanistic viewpoint using carbon black (CB)-supported pyri-N-containing molecules as model catalysts; the highest activity was observed for 1,10-phenanthroline/CB. X-ray photoemission spectroscopy showed that in acidic electrolytes, both pyri-N atoms of 1,10-phenanthroline could be protonated to form pyridinium ions (pyri-NH+). In O-2-saturated electrolytes, one of the pyri-NH+ species was reduced to pyri-NH upon the application of a potential; no such reduction was observed in N-2-saturated electrolytes. This behavior was ascribed to electrochemical reduction of pyri-NH+ occurring simultaneously with the thermal adsorption of O-2, as supported by DFT calculations. According to these calculations, the coupled reduction was promoted by hydrophobic environments.

  • Dynamical Quantum Filtering via Enhanced Scattering of para-H2 on the Orientationally Anisotropic Potential of SrTiO3(001)

    Scientific Reports, 10, 1, 5939, Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2020年12月
    研究論文(学術雑誌), AbstractQuantum dynamics calculation, performed on top of density functional theory (DFT)-based total energy calculations, show dynamical quantum filtering via enhanced scattering of para-H2 on SrTiO3(001). We attribute this to the strongly orientation-dependent (electrostatic) interaction potential between the H2 (induced) quadrupole moment and the surface electric field gradient of ionic SrTiO3(001). These results suggest that ionic surfaces could function as a scattering/filtering media to realize rotationally state-resolved H2. This could find significant applications not only in H2 storage and transport, but also in realizing materials with pre-determined characteristic properties.

  • Electronic and spin structure of O- and H-adsorbed Fe3O4(111) surfaces

    PHYSICAL REVIEW B, 99, 8, 085442, AMER PHYSICAL SOC, 2019年02月, [査読有り]
    英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), The adsorption of O and H atoms on the Fe3O4(111) surface was investigated using ultraviolet photoemission spectroscopy (UPS) and first-principles calculations. On the FeA1-terminated surface, H adsorption decreases the work function without changing the density of states near the Fermi level. The density of states near the Fermi level decreases by O adsorption. On the O/FeA1-terminated surface, H adsorption dramatically increases the density of states near the Fermi level, indicating that the Fe 3d state is modified. The first-principles calculations showed that the electronic structure of the surface FeA on the FeA1-terminated surface is half metallic with its spin up forming an isolated spin-polarized conductive layer. By O adsorption, the up-spin band at the Fermi level of the surface FeA site is removed, and the Fermi level of the surface FeA moves to the down-spin t(2g) band. By subsequent H adsorption, electrons are doped to the FeA1 site, and the surface FeA1 layer becomes semiconducting. These results indicate that the charge and spin structure is modulated by O and H adsorption.

  • Effects of Hydrogen on the Electronic State and Electric Conductivity of the Rutile TiO2(110) Surface

    JOURNAL OF THE PHYSICAL SOCIETY OF JAPAN, 84, 6, 064716, PHYSICAL SOC JAPAN, 2015年06月, [査読有り]
    英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), The adsorption of atomic hydrogen on a rutile TiO2(110) surface was investigated by nuclear reaction analysis (NRA), ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy (UPS), and conductivity measurements. The TiO2(110) surface was annealed in O-2 of 1 x 10(-4) Pa, which is regarded as a quasi-stoichiometric surface. After exposure to atomic hydrogen, UPS showed a localized in-gap state (IGS) at about 0.8 eV below the Fermi level and downward band bending with a decrease in the work function. Along with these changes, the conductivity was increased by 2.9 mu S/square. Our results indicate that hydrogen donates electrons to the substrate. The amount of charge transfer and electric conductivity are discussed on the basis of the experimental data.

    英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), The depth profile of hydrogen at a type 304 stainless steel surface was investigated with H-1(N-15,alpha gamma)C-12 nuclear reaction analysis at various temperatures. Hydrogen was predominantly distributed in the region shallower than 10 nm (surface hydrogen) with an area density of similar to 1 x 10(16) cm(-2). Hydrogen was found to also exist in a deeper region (>30 nm) with a constant volume density of similar to 4 x 10(20) cm(-3) (bulk hydrogen). While both bulk and surface components gradually decreased as the temperature rose, part of the intensities remained even at 975 K. From the temperature dependence of the amount of the surface hydrogen, the distribution of the activation energy for desorption is discussed. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

    英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), The effects of hydrogen exposure on the electronic structure of two types of SrTiO3(001) surfaces, oxygen-deficient (OD) and nearly-vacancy-free (NVF) surfaces, were investigated with ultraviolet photoemission spectroscopy and nuclear reaction analysis. Upon molecular hydrogen exposure to the OD surface which reveals in-gap states at 1.3 eV below the Fermi level, the in-gap state intensity was reduced to half the initial value at a hydrogen coverage of 0.9 +/- 0.7 x 10(14) cm(-2). On the NVF surface which has no in-gap state, on the other hand, atomic-hydrogen exposure induced in-gap states, and the hydrogen saturation coverage was evaluated to be 3.1 +/- 0.8 x 10(14) cm(-2). We argue that H is positively charged as H similar to 0.3+ on the NVF surface by being coordinated to the O atom, whereas H is negatively charged as H-on the OD surface by occupying the oxygen vacancy site. The stability of H-at the oxygen vacancy site is discussed. (C) 2014 AIP Publishing LLC.
  • Hydrogen-Induced Dipoles and Sensing Principles of Pt-Ti-O gate Si-MISFET Hydrogen Gas Sensors

    英語, 研究論文(国際会議プロシーディングス), Distribution of hydrogen-induced dipoles in platinum-titanium-oxygen (Pt-Ti-O) gate structures of Si-MISFET hydrogen gas sensors has been observed by H-specific H-1(N-15, alpha gamma) C-12 nuclear reaction analysis (NRA). The sheet number of hydrogen-induced dipoles under N-2-diluted 1% H2 atmosphere @ 50 degrees C is estimated as 2.2x10(14)/cm(2). The averaged vertical components of dipole-moments is estimated as 82.5D, if the relative dielectric constant of modified TiOx layer and the sensing amplitude Delta V-g (V) are assigned by 114 and 624.4mV. We have found that the hydrogen-induced dipoles are generated in Pt-side modified TiOx layer, and also localized around specific thick pathway of the corridor originated from platinum grain-boundaries.

  • Analytical Formula for Calculating Adsorption Density of States on Chamber Surfaces from Measured Pressure Change
    Takeyasu, Kotaro, Sugimoto, Toshiki, Fukutani, Katsuyuki
    JOURNAL OF THE PHYSICAL SOCIETY OF JAPAN, 82, 11, 114602, PHYSICAL SOC JAPAN, 2013年11月, [査読有り]
    英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), Pressure decay during an evacuation process of a vacuum chamber often shows a power-law dependence on time, which is considered to reflect the distribution of the adsorption energy of particles on the surface of the chamber. We derive an analytical formula that directly transforms the pressure change into the adsorption density of states. This method shows that the power-law behavior is equivalent to the situation in which the chamber surface has a constantor exponential-type adsorption density of states for particles under a quasi-static condition.
  • Control of the surface electronic structure of SrTiO3(001) by modulation of the density of oxygen vacancies

    JOURNAL OF PHYSICS-CONDENSED MATTER, 25, 16, 162202, IOP PUBLISHING LTD, 2013年04月, [査読有り]
    英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), The influence of electron irradiation and the subsequent oxygen adsorption on the electronic structure of an SrTiO3(001) surface was investigated by ultraviolet photoemission spectroscopy (UPS). Electron irradiation induced an in-gap state (IGS) as observed by UPS keeping the surface 1 x 1, which is considered to originate from oxygen vacancies on the topmost surface due to the electron-stimulated desorption (ESD) of oxygen. Electron irradiation also caused a downward shift of the valence band maximum, indicating downward band bending and the formation of a conductive layer on the surface. Adsorption of oxygen on the electron-irradiated surface, on the other hand, reduced the intensity of the IGS along with yielding upward band bending, which points to disappearance of the conductive layer. The results show that ESD and oxygen adsorption can be used to control the surface electronic structure switching between semiconducting and metallic regimes by changing the density of the oxygen vacancies.
  • Gas dynamics in the vacuum chamber with a single adsorption site on the wall surface: Origin of the exponential pressure decay with the time constant of sub-kilo seconds
    Toshiki Sugimoto, Kotaro Takeyasu, Katsuyuki Fukutani
    Journal of the Vacuum Society of Japan, 56, 8, 322, 329, 2013年, [査読有り]
    日本語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), During pumping down of water molecules in a typical laboratory vaccum chamber (evacuation time constant: τp<
    1 s), we obserbed that the pressure decays exponentially on a time scale of sub-kilo seconds before it starts to decrease with nearly t-1 time dependence. On the basis of the Henry-type adsorption-desorption rate equation on the chamber wall and the equation of evacuation, we discuss here that such an exponential decay curve can be realized in the quasi-steady state for pressure by the mathematical phase-space analysis. By applying this analysis to obserbed decay curves, we also show that the pressure decay is dominated by the chemisorbed water with an activation energy for desorption of ∼890 meV, which is in good agreement with the recent results of water adsorbed on oxide surfaces as investigated by surface science techniques. Our results establish a firm basis to describe evacuation process.
  • Analysis of a pumping curve of water with the conversion equation from pressure to adsorption density of states

    日本語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), A pumping-down curve of a vacuum chamber often shows a power-law dependence on time, which has been attributed to a distribution of the adsorption energy of molecules on the chamber wall. We have recently derived an analytical formula that directly converts pressure changes as a function of time into the adsorption density of states (ADOS). In the present paper, on the basis of this formula, we analyzed the pumping-down curves reported in literatures to obtain ADOS of water molecules. The ADOS was dependent on the initial exposure pressure of water. The origin of the pressure dependence is discussed.

    日本語, 研究論文(国際会議プロシーディングス), We have analyzed an optical system for a spin-polarized atomic hydrogen beam. By calculating the model emittance of atomic hydrogen beams, we simulated the beam profile. We predicted that a hexapole magnet with a length of 75 mm and magnetic flux density of 0.65 T results in a spin polarization of 95% and a beam separation of 9 mm, which is sufficient for our purpose. We also found that the longer hexapole manget results in a higher spin polarization and smaller beam separation.

    窒素ドープカーボン触媒は白金を使用しない燃料電池カソード触媒として最も期待されている。我々は、2016年にピリジン型窒素が活性点を形成することを世界に先駆けて報告した(Science誌、2016年)。本研究では、ピリジン型窒素の役割を明らかにし、高活性な触媒を開発することを目的としている。2020年度の研究では、ピリジン型窒素含有芳香族系分子をカーボンブラックに担持したモデル触媒を用いてピリジン型窒素の役割の概要が明らかになり、高性能触媒の設計の指針が得られた。すなわち、プロトンがピリジン型窒素に付加して生じるピリジニウムイオンの電気化学的還元と酸素分子のカーボン触媒への熱反応的な吸着がエネルギー的に連動することを明らかになった。この酸素吸着が低活性触媒の場合に反応律速となる。そのためその反応の酸化還元電位がピリジニウムの水和によって著しく低下する。活性劣化を防ぐためににカーボン触媒を疎水性化した結果、高活性触媒な触媒が得られた。以上の研究成果は世界をリードするものと言える。
