  • Patent number: 11506626
    Abstract: An electrode composed of a substrate including a graphene layer coated on a first metal; and a complex including a second metal deposited on the substrate and a hydroxide of the first metal, where the complex is in the form of core-shell in which the second metal is a core and the hydroxide of the first metal is a shell, and the second metal has a higher standard reduction potential than the first metal. The graphene-coated metal foam of the present invention is the first case that proves not only theoretically but also by experiment that the remarkable catalytic ability reducing other metals (Au, Pt, Ag, and Cu, etc.) with a higher reduction potential than the metal by graphene coated on the metal surface it electroless deposition without additional reductant or electrical reduction conditions is due to the electrical double layer or interfacial dipole induced between the graphene and the metal.

  • Patent number: 11173481
    Abstract: Disclosed are a metal single-atom catalyst and a method for preparing the same. The method uses a minimal amount of chemicals and is thus environmentally friendly compared to conventional chemical and/or physical methods. In addition, the method enables the preparation of a single-atom catalyst in a simple and economical manner without the need for further treatment such as acid treatment or heat treatment. Furthermore, the method is universally applicable to the preparation of single-atom catalysts irrespective of the kinds of metals and supports, unlike conventional methods that suffer from very limited choices of metal materials and supports. Therefore, the method can be widely utilized to prepare various types of metal single-atom catalysts. All metal atoms in the metal single-atom catalyst can participate in catalytic reactions. This optimal atom utilization achieves maximum reactivity per unit mass and can minimize the amount of the metal used, which is very economical.

  • Publication number: 20210159512
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for preparing a metal single-atom catalyst for a fuel cell. The method for preparing a metal single-atom catalyst uses a relatively lower amount of chemical substances as compared to the conventional methods and thus is eco-friendly, uses no liquid through the whole process and avoids a need for additional steps for separating and/or washing the catalyst after its synthesis, thereby allowing simplification of the process, and can produce a single-atom catalyst at low cost. In addition, unlike the conventional methods having a limitation in metallic materials, the method can be applied in common regardless of types of metals, and thus is significantly advantageous in that it can be applied widely to obtain various types of metal single-atom catalysts. Further, in the method for preparing a metal single-atom catalyst, metal atoms totally participate in the reaction. Thus, the method can minimize the usage of metal to provide high cost-efficiency.
