Reversible control of ferroelectric polarization is essential to overcome the heterocatalytic kinetic limitation. This can be achieved by creating a surface with switchable electron density; however, owing rigidity traditional oxides, achieving reversal in piezocatalytic processes remains challenging. Herein, sub-nanometer-sized Hf0.5 Zr0.5 O2 (HZO) nanowires polymer-like flexibility are synthesized. Oxygen K-edge X-ray absorption spectroscopy and negative spherical aberration-corrected...
Abstract Critical catalysis studies often lack elucidation of the mechanistic role defect equilibria in solid solubility and charge compensation. This approach is applied to interpret physicochemical properties catalytic performance a free‐standing 2D–3D CeO 2− x scaffold, which comprised holey 2D nanosheets, its heterojunctions with MoO 3− RuO 2 . The band gap alignment structural defects are engineered using density functional theory (DFT) simulations atomic characterization. Further, used...

MOF-Derived Materials Despite the instability and low electrical conductivity of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), metal-based derivatives (MDs) retain intricate nanostructures MOFs while boasting improved stability significantly higher conductivities. In article number 2210166, Thibault De Villenoisy co-workers delve into nanostructural design MDs, discussing various established potential future materials, also identifying rationalizing parameters with aim to guide optimal composition performance.
Piezocatalysts have shown great promise for advanced and green hydrogen generation. However, their application is typically limited owing to the rapid charge recombination sluggish transfer rate of piezo‐induced carriers. The present work aims address preceding limitations by controlled synthesis a representative piezocatalytic material, BiFeO3 doped with Mo atoms decorated Bi4MoO9 (BMO) heteroatoms using sol‐gel method. revealed that substitutional doping on BFO (BFMO) induced shallow...
