Developing photocatalysts with high efficiency and selectivity for CO2 reduction is essential in the sight of both energy environment. Through comprehensive density functional theory calculations, we have found that B80 fullerene can be used as an excellent metal-free photocatalyst reducing to value-added chemicals this report. Our results reveal electron-deficient boron effectively activate (Lewis acid) through Lewis acid–base interactions on three basic sites (B80 amphoteric molecule). The...
Designing high-performance materials for CO2 capture and conversion is of great significance to reduce the greenhouse effect alleviate energy crisis. The strategy doping widely used improve activity selectivity materials. However, it unclear how densities influence materials' properties. Herein, we investigated mechanism capture, separation on MoS2 , MoSe2 Janus MoSSe monolayers with different boron levels using density functional theory (DFT) simulations. results indicate that H2 CH4 bind...
Reversible CO2 capture with applied external electric fields on solid adsorbents is a promising approach to reduce emissions. However, the strengths of are too high be performed in practice. So, it vital develop new strategies fields. Through investigation N/P-doped MoS2 density functional theory (DFT) level, we find that can reduced significantly compared system without doping. Moreover, reversible them controlled by turning on/off field, which an exothermic reaction energy barrier....
Transforming glyoxal to value-added glyoxylic acid (GA) is highly desirable but challenging due the uncontrollable over-oxidation. In this work, we report on a first demonstration of semi-oxidation with high selectivity (86.5%) and activity WO3 nanoplate photoanode through photoelectrochemical strategy.

Due to its inherently stronger hydration, Li+ faces a higher dehydration energy than Na+ at the entrance of 8×(WL)4/POPE-CPNT. Present MD simulations show that it can enter channel from NaCl/LiCl solution only under an electric field 0.3 V nm–1, while is easier move into channel, which well elucidated by two cations' PMF profiles. The cation-Ow radial distribution functions, electrostatic interactions with water, and orientations neighboring water all refer more compact solvation structure...
Interaction between transcription factors (TFs) and motifs is essential for gene regulation the subsequent phenotype formation. Soybean (Glycine max) JAGGEED 1 (GmJAG1) a key TF that controls leaf shape, seed number flower size.
