Despite being technically possible, the hydrogen production by means of electrocatalytic water splitting is still practically unreachable mainly because lack inexpensive and high active catalysts. Herein, a novel facile approach melamine polymerization, exfoliation Co2+-assisted thermal annealing developed to fabricate Co nanoparticles embedded in bamboo-like nitrogen-rich carbonitride nanotubes (Co@NCN). The electronic interaction between N-rich could strongly promote HER performance....
The instable structure of Pt-based high-indexed facets (HIFs) facile reconstructed is a key obstacle for further practical applications because its high surface energy and amounts undercoordinated atoms. Herein, strategy to advance the fundamental study on HIFs materials addressed by implanting non-noble metal or nonmetals as "active auxiliaries" into near-surface noble nanocrystals bounded with engineer stable structured catalyst.

The strength is essentially related to nature X groups, with both larger atomic number increased reactivity giving rise a stronger interaction. exhibits similar substituent effects...
Ruthenium-based supported catalysts are of great potential for CO2 methanation, while the catalytic mechanisms remain elusive owing to conjunction metal size and support effect, as well possible strong metal/support interactions (SMSI) in a practical catalyst.

It is challenging to achieve high selectivity over Pt-metal-oxide catalysts widely used in many selective oxidation reactions because Pt prone over-oxidize substrates. Herein, our sound strategy for enhancing the saturate under-coordinated single atoms with Cl– ligands. In this system, weak electronic metal–support interactions between and reduced TiO2 cause electron extraction from ligands, resulting strong Pt–Cl bonds. Therefore, two-coordinate adopt a four-coordinate configuration thus...
