My interrelated research interests are interdisciplinary studies of electrochemistry, material chemistry and surface science. We investigate materials at nano scale and develop methods for manufacturing nano-materials that possess enhanced electrocatalytic activity towards fuel oxidations, oxygen reduction/evolution reactions (ORR, OER), electrochemical CO2 reduction (CO2RR) and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) for energy conversion/storage and power generation. We invented several new fuel cell processes for solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC) that can generate electricity and produce value-added products using non-conventional fuels such as H2S, industrial syngas and greenhouse gases. These “green” processes enable economic use of what is otherwise considered waste or pollution. We also study corrosion of metallic materials, coatings, and investigate material behaviors under chemical and/or mechanical actions to minimize material degradation, reduce costs and improve safety; we established the theoretical models that can predict corrosion behaviors, and uncovered corrosion mechanisms of metals in various media.

In this study, we report that the reconstructed BaBiO3 (BBO) perovskite is able to facilitate CO2-to-formate (FA) conversion by both A- (Ba) and B- (Bi) site elements through the cooperative but distinct catalytic mechanisms. Specifically, the electrochemical reductions of BBO trigger the complete rearrangement of atoms with rapid kinetics at catalytically relevant voltages, giving rise to electricity-induced Bi metallene (eBBO) that efficiently generates FA with high selectivity and partial current densities. Moreover, the reconstructed BBO simultaneously enables Ba2+ release to the electrolyte, and the time-resolved FTIR and in situ Raman analysis collectively reveal that the Ba2+ adsorption enables easier CO2 adsorption, thereby leading to enhanced CO2-to-FA conversion. This work is of direct significance in elucidating the cooperative catalysis between A- and B- site elements in perovskites for room-temperature CO2RR.T02-P03, T12-P02 University of Alberta | Publication | 2022-06-01 | Mengnan Zhu, Bo-Wen Zhang, Minrui Gao, Pengfei Sui, Chenyu Xu, Lu Gong, Zeng, H., Shankar, K., Bergens, S., Luo, J. | | Electrochemically Dismantled Perovskite with Cooperative Catalysis for CO 2-to-Formate ConversionElectrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide (CO2RR) driven by sustainable energy resources holds great promise for realizing the zero net emission of CO2 by converting them to value-added fuels.1–4 For the past few years, substantial efforts have been devoted to boosting CO2RR using different nanostructured catalysts. However, the complicated synthesis procedures and low product yields are usually associated with many of these catalysts, which hinder their scalability. More importantly, many catalysts suffer from the low catalytic activities, high overpotentials, and unsatisfactory selectivity, which collectively impede the large-scale applications of CO2RR technique. In this study, we pursue initiating the CO2 conversion on perovskite-based catalysts BaBiO3 (BBO) to selectively produce formate (FA). The structural/phase evolution of BBO under cathodic potentials, the catalytic performances of electrochemical and photoelectrochemical reduction of CO2RR, and the effect of non-active A-site element (Ba) will be investigated in detail.
Herein, BBO perovskite is fabricated by annealing the sol-gel Ba2+/Bi3+ nitrate mixture at high temperatures. Extensive physical characterizations show that under negative potentials, BBO pre-catalysts undergo irreversible structural and phase transformations, giving rise to Bi metallene with atomic-scale thickness and enlarged surface area, as supported by X-ray diffraction analysis and transmission electron microscopy (Figure 1a, and 1b). Using the fully electrochemically reduced BBO, a near-unity selectivity towards formate (FA) can be achieved at the potential of – 1.2 V vs. RHE in 0.1M KHCO3 solution with the typical H-type electrochemical cell. By coupling the state-of-the-art BiVO3 photoanode to the BBO dark cathode, FA can be generated at a of 80.0 % at a cell voltage of 2.5 V in a PEC cell. Contrarily, only < 1.0 % can be detected at 2.5 V without solar irradiation. Meanwhile, inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) analysis suggests that A-site elements (Ba2+) are simultaneously released from the BBO lattice and diffuse to the electrolyte as a result of the complete reduction of BBO. The effect of Ba2+ - containing electrolytes on the CO2RR product distributions have been studied, and the results show that Ba2+ can either facilitate or impede FA production depending on both the external potential and the concentration of Ba2+ (Figure 1c). Specifically, high Ba2+ concentration and more negative potentials (i.e., 25 mM Ba2+ and -1.1 - -1.3 V vs. RHE) tend to favor HER over CO2RR due to the formation of BaCO3 precipitates, whereas low Ba2+ concentrations and more positive potentials (i.e., 2.5 and 7.5 mM Ba2+ and -0.9 - -1.1 V vs. RHE) can significantly enhance the selectivity towards FA. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations show that suitable barium ion adsorption promotes CO2-to-FA conversion by regulating the adsorption strength of *OCHO and *HCOOH intermediates. Our study utilizes both A- and B- site elements in BBO to benefit CO2 conversion, which may be extended to other perovskite electrocatalysts for CO2RR.T02-P03, T12-P02 University of Alberta | Activity | 2021-10-01 | Mengnan Zhu, Bowen Zhang, Minrui Gao, Chenyu Xu, Pengfei Sui, Zeng, H., Shankar, K., Bergens, S., Luo, J. | | Enhanced CO2 Adsorption Capability for Highly Selective Electroreduction of CO2 to FormateT02-P03 University of Alberta | Activity | 2021-10-19 | Pengfei Sui, Minrui Gao, Chenyu Xu, Subiao Liu, Mengnan Zhu, Luo, J. | | Bi2O3 Nanosheets Grown on Carbon Nanofiber with Inherent Hydrophobicity for High- Performance CO2 Electroreduction in a Wide Potential WindowT02-P03 University of Alberta | Publication | 2021-10-21 | Shao-Qing Liu, "Ehsan Shahini ", Minrui Gao, "Lu Gong ", Pengfei Sui, Tian Tang, Zeng, H., Luo, J. | | Carbon dioxide valorization via formate electrosynthesis in a wide potential windowT02-P03 University of Alberta | Publication | 2022-05-20 | Pengfei Sui, Minrui Gao, Subiao Liu, Chenyu Xu, Mengnan Zhu, Luo, J. | | Unlocking nanotubular bismuth oxyiodide toward carbon-neutral electrosynthesisT02-P03 University of Alberta | Publication | 2023-02-18 | Pengfei Sui, Minrui Gao, Mengnan Zhu, Chenyu Xu, Yicheng Wang, Subiao Liu, Luo, J. | | Boosting the stability of perovskites with exsolved nanoparticles by B-site supplement mechanismT02-P03 University of Alberta | Publication | 2022-08-08 | Bowen Zhang, Mengnan Zhu, Minrui Gao, "Xiuan Xi ", "Nanqi Duan ", "Zhou Chen ", "renfei feng ", Zeng, H., Luo, J. | | Nanosecond Laser Confined Bismuth Moiety with Tunable Structures on Graphene for Carbon Dioxide ReductionT02-P03 University of Alberta | Publication | 2023-04-17 | Mengnan Zhu, "haoqing Jiang ", Bowen Zhang, Minrui Gao, Pengfei Sui, "renfei feng ", Shankar, K., Bergens, S., Gary J Cheng, Luo, J. | | Unveiling phase-selective α-and β-Bi2O3-derived electrocatalysts for CO2 electroreductionT02-P03 University of Alberta | Publication | 2023-12-21 | Pengfei Sui, Minrui Gao, "Renfei Feng ", Subiao Liu, Luo, J. | | Phase Transition Engineering of Host Perovskite toward Optimal Exsolution-facilitated Catalysts for Carbon Dioxide ElectrolysisT02-P03 University of Alberta | Publication | 2023-05-23 | Bowen Zhang, Mengnan Zhu, Minrui Gao, "Jian Chen ", "Xiuan Xi ", Shen, J., "Renfei Feng ", Semagina, N., "Nanqi duan ", Zeng, H., Luo, J. | | Fluorine-Stabilized BO6 Octahedron of Host Perovskites for Robust Carbon Dioxide Electrolysis on Exsolved CatalystsT02-P03 University of Alberta | Publication | 2023-10-02 | Bowen Zhang, Mengnan Zhu, Minrui Gao, "Xiaoyu Liu ", Shen, J., "Xiuan Xi ", "Nanqi Duan ", Semagina, N., Zeng, H., Luo, J. | | A coupled electrocatalytic system with reduced energy input for CO2 reduction and biomass valorizationT02-P03 University of Alberta | Publication | 2023-09-30 | Shao-Qing Liu, Minrui Gao, "Shuwen Wu ", "Renfei Feng ", Yicheng Wang, "Linfang Cui ", "Ying Guo ", "Xian-Zhu Fu ", Luo, J. | | Recent Progress in Cathode Material Design for CO2 Electrolysis: From Room Temperature to Elevated TemperaturesT02-P03 University of Alberta | Publication | 2024-04-16 | Pengfei Sui, Minrui Gao, Yicheng Wang, Luo, J. | | Energy-Conservative CO2 Electroreduction for Efficient Formate Co-generationT02-P03 University of Alberta | Publication | 2025-04-07 | Pengfei Sui, Mengnan Zhu, Minrui Gao, Yicheng Wang, "Renfei Feng ", Wang, X., Subiao Liu, Luo, J. | | Leveraging Inherent Structure of Tin Oxide for Efficient Carbonaceous Products ElectrosynthesisT02-P03 University of Alberta | Publication | 2024-06-27 | Pengfei Sui, Minrui Gao, Yicheng Wang, Subiao Liu, Luo, J. | | Best Poster AwardJing Xiao presented “Efficient CO2 Electroreduction on Silver Sulfide Nanowires in Ionic Liquid,” at the International Conference on Electrochemical Energy Science and Technology, Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada, Aug. 13 -

This novel composition was used to fabricate a tubular cell by a combination of slip casting and dip coating. Contrary to virtually all proton conductors, it appears chemically inert to both H2O vapour and CO2 as well as the other cell components. Correspondingly, it gave outstanding electrochemical performance producing a power output of 1 W/cm2 at 850C. This is among the highest output ever reported for a tubular cell with either a proton or oxygen ion conducting electrolyte. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy was used in an effort to separate the various polarization losses.T06-P04, T02-C01 University of Alberta | Publication | 2018-04-24 | Taghi Amiri, "Kalpana Singh ", Hanifi, A., Thomas Etsell, Luo, J., "Venkataraman Thangadurai ", "Partha Sarkar " | | Tetragonal Zirconia as Next Generation Support for Dry Reforming Solid Oxide Fuel CellThe usual structural support for ceramic fuel cells is nickel plus fully stabilized cubic zirconia containing 8 mol % Y2O3. This is the electrolyte composition as well. It has very good mechanical properties (at least relative to most ceramics). However, partially stabilized two-phase zirconia (tetragonal + cubic) containing 3 mol % Y2O3 has excellent mechanical properties due to monoclinic-to-tetragonal transformation toughening. Also, when mixed with nickel (the support also serves as one of the electrodes), it appears to slow down nickel agglomeration with an attendant loss of electronic conductivity. However, it has lower ionic conductivity that impacts the amount of triple phase interface (gas, electrode, electrolyte) available for electrochemical reaction.
