Article Abstract
Hydrogen has long been an important energy source for sustainable development, and platinum group metals (PGMs) are the prominent anode catalysts for anion exchange membrane fuel cells (AEMFCs). However, among the PGM catalysts used in alkaline hydrogen oxidation reaction (HOR) for the AEMFC anode, the activity of iridium decreases sharply when the reaction potential exceeds 0.2 V vs reversible hydrogen electrode (RHE) due to the reduction of hydrogen adsorption (H), which is caused by the overadsorption of OH. Herein, we prepared Ir nanoparticles with atomically dispersed Mn-O clusters on their surface (Ir/MnOC), the difference in the work function drives the charge transfer from Mn-O clusters to Ir at full HOR potential (∼0-1.2 V vs RHE), which could upshift its d-band center to enhance H. This strategy realized HOR at full potential and the 5 h durability test only lost about 10.9% current density at 0.71 V vs RHE. Moreover, this catalyst could be used in the AEMFC anode and the mass-normalized activity of the anode reaches 8.26 W mg.

Finding vehicles for biosynthesis of metal clusters with advantageous magnetic and catalytic properties is an important industrial and environmental task. We have found previously that green microalga Chlorella sorokiniana produces a multivalent Mn-O cluster with structure that is similar to photosynthetic oxygen-evolving complex (OEC). Here we reported magnetic and redox properties and the site of accumulation of this cluster, and we proposed the mechanisms of biosynthesis and the protocol for extraction.

Schwertmannite (Sch) is considered as an effective remover of Chromium (Cr) due to its strong affinity for toxic Cr species. Since the instability of Sch, the environmental fate of Cr deserves attention during the transformation of Sch into a more stable crystalline phase. The ubiquitous manganese(II) (Mn(II)) probably affects the transformation of Sch and thus the environmental fate of Cr.

The previous development of a magnetostructural correlation (MSC) for polynuclear Fe/oxo clusters has now been extended to one for polynuclear Mn/oxo clusters. A semiempirical model estimating each pairwise Mn exchange constant () from the Mn-O bond lengths and Mn-O-Mn angles has been formulated based on the angular overlap model. The extra complication, compared with the Fe/oxo MSC, of different relative orientations of the Jahn-Teller distortion axes typical of high-spin Mn in near-octahedral geometry was accommodated by developing a separate MSC variant for each possible situation.

Reaction of equimolar amounts of MnBr·4HO and HL ((3,5-dimethyl-1-pyrazol-1-yl)methanol) in a basic MeCN solution leads to the formation of [MnII4(L)Br(HO)] (1), whose metallic skeleton is a [MnII4] tetrahedron and cluster core a [MnII4(μ-O)] cubane. Replacing MnBr·4HO with Mn(OCMe)·4HO affords [MnIII2MnII12O(L)(OAc)] (2) which is best described as a series of edge-sharing [Mn] tetrahedra that have self-assembled into a linear array in which each [Mn] pair is 'twisted' with respect to its neighbours in a corkscrew-like manner. Employment of the triangle [MnIII3O(OAc)(py)](ClO) as a reactant instead of a Mn salt results in the formation of [MnIII14MnII4O(L)(HL)(OAc)(HO)] (3) whose core is comprised of three vertex-sharing [MnIII4] butterflies flanked on either side by one [MnIII4] cubane and one [MnIII2MnII2] tetrahedron.
