Article Abstract

We report on reactive scattering studies of the proton transfer and combined hydrogen/proton transfer in the O + CHI reaction. We combine state-of-the-art crossed-beam velocity map imaging and quantum chemistry calculations to understand the dynamics for the formations of the CHI + OH and CHI + HO products. The experimental velocity- and angle-differential cross section show for both products and at all collision energies (between 0.3 and 2.0 eV) that the product ions are predominantly forward scattered. For the CHI + HO channel, the data show lower product velocities, indicative of higher internal excitation, than in the case of single proton transfer. Furthermore, our results suggest that the combined hydrogen/proton transfer proceeds via a two-step process: In the first step, O abstracts one H atom to form OH, and then the transient OH removes an additional proton from CHI to form the energetically stable HO coproduct.

Enhancing the energy conversion efficiency of fuel cells necessitates optimization of oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) under high-voltage conditions through improved Pt catalysis. This study introduces an electrocatalyst that uniformly anchors a high loading (40 wt%) of small Pt nanoparticles (3.2 nm) on a novel support: tellurium and nitrogen co-mediated graphitized mesoporous carbon (Te-N-GMC).

Research on worker exposure to volatile organic compounds (VOCs) during asphalt paving operations remains significantly limited, and regulatory frameworks governing such exposures are also insufficient. Previous studies have primarily focused on a limited number of major VOCs. However, this study employs high-resolution, high-performance Proton Transfer Reaction Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometry (PTR-ToF-MS) to comprehensively evaluate exposure levels to 25 different VOCs.

Photocatalysis holds significant promise for the reduction of CO to valued chemicals under mild conditions. However, its potential is severely limited by weak CO adsorption and slow proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) rates. In this work, ZnInS-based catalysts with varying hydroxyl contents were synthesized via the solvothermal method.

Adjusting interlayer interactions and proton-conduction pathways of 2D covalent organic frameworks through the rotaxane structures.

Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) have great potential as versatile platforms for proton conduction. However, the commonly applied 2D COFs that are easy to design and synthesize have only 1D channels for proton conduction, limiting the formation of continuous hydrogen bonds due to the anisotropy between their crystalline grains. Herein, we report a strategy to construct 3D channels in 2D COFs by using rotaxane structures and eliminate the strong interlayer π-π interactions, facilitating the formation of smooth 3D proton-transfer pathways during guest doping.
