Water electrolysis for hydrogen production requires better catalysts to lower the kinetic barrier of oxygen evolution reaction. Herein, conceptually-new, noble-metal-free, porous, atomically-thick sheets are first put forward as an excellent platform promote activity through affording abundant catalytically active sites and enhanced two-dimensional conductivity. As example, synthetic porous Co3O4 with a thickness 0.43 nm about 30% pore occupancy afford low-coordinated Co3+ atoms serve sites,...
A conceptually new all-solid-state asymmetric supercapacitor based on atomically thin sheets is presented which offers the opportunity to optimize properties an atomic level. As a prototype, β-Co(OH)2 single layers with five-atoms layer thickness were synthesized through oriented-attachment strategy. The increased density-of-states and 100 % exposed hydrogen atoms endow single-layers-based electrode large capacitance of 2028 F g(-1) . corresponding achieves high cell voltage 1.8 V...
Synthesizing urea from nitrate and carbon dioxide through an electrocatalysis approach under ambient conditions is extraordinarily sustainable. However, this still lacks electrocatalysts developed with high catalytic efficiencies, which a key challenge. Here, we report the high-efficiency electrocatalytic synthesis of using indium oxyhydroxide oxygen vacancy defects, enables selective C-N coupling toward standout activity. Analysis by operando synchrotron radiation-Fourier transform infrared...
Various kinds of amorphous materials, such as transition metal dichalcogenides, oxides, and phosphates, have demonstrated superior electrocatalytic performance compared with their crystalline counterparts. Compared to other materials for electrocatalysis, noble metals exhibit intrinsically high activity excellent durability. However, it is still very challenging prepare noble-metal nanomaterials due the strong interatomic metallic bonding. Herein, discovery a unique thiol molecule reported,...
Lattice engineering on specific facets of metal catalysts is critically important not only for the enhancement their catalytic performance but also deeply understanding effect facet-based lattice reactions. Here, we develop a facile two-step method expansion facets, i.e., Pt(100) and Pt(111), Pt catalysts. We first prepare Pd@Pt core–shell nanoparticles exposed with Pt(111) respectively, via Pd-seeded epitaxial growth, then convert Pd core to PdH0.43 by hydrogen intercalation. The induces...
Although there has been an upsurge of interest in anisotropic assembly inorganic nanoparticles, atomically precise self-assembly metal clusters is extremely rare. Herein, we presented two novel silver nanoclusters, Ag52 (SD/Ag23) and Ag76 (SD/Ag24), which are interiorly templated by five MoO42– a pair Mo6O228– anions, respectively, coprotected bridging RSH terminal diphosphine ligands exteriorly. Regiospecific distribution on the surface arrangement multiple molybdate templates within...
2D nanostructured materials have shown great application prospects in energy conversion, owing to their unique structural features and fascinating physicochemical properties. Developing efficient approaches for the synthesis of well‐defined with controllable composition morphology is critical.

Heterostructured, including heterophase, noble-metal nanomaterials have attracted much interest due to their promising applications in diverse fields. However, great challenges still remain the rational synthesis of well-defined heterophase nanostructures. Herein, we report preparation Pd nanoparticles with an unconventional hexagonal close-packed (2H type) phase, referred as 2H-Pd nanoparticles, via a controlled phase transformation amorphous nanoparticles. Impressively, by using seeds, Au...
Rational design of active oxygen evolution reaction (OER) catalysts is critical for the overall efficiency water electrolysis. The differing spin states OER reactants and products one factors that slows kinetics. Thus, conservation plays a crucial role in enhancing performance.

Aqueous aluminum metal batteries (AMBs) are regarded as one of the most sustainable energy storage systems among post-lithium-ion candidates, which is attributable to their highest theoretical volumetric capacity, inherent safe operation, and low cost. Yet, development aqueous AMBs plagued by incapable plating in an solution severe parasitic reactions, results limited discharge voltage, thus making unsuccessful so far. Here, we demonstrate that amorphization effective strategy tackle these...
