Classical strong metal–support interactions (SMSI), which play a crucial role in the preparation of supported metal nanoparticle catalysts, is one most important concepts heterogeneous catalysis. The conventional wisdom for construction classical SMSI involves redox treatments at high-temperatures by molecular oxygen or hydrogen, sometimes causing sintered nanoparticles before formation. Herein, we report that aforementioned issue can be effectively avoided wet-chemistry methodology. As...
Single-atom introduced carbon nanomaterials show favorable oxygen-reduction reaction (ORR) and oxygen-evolution (OER) performance for renewable energy applications. Nevertheless, the electronic-structure regulation by decorating heterogeneous single-metal-atoms engineering of a single-atom active-sites' microenvironment need to be optimized simultaneously, which is challenging. Herein, we develop an atomic-interfacial-regulation approach fabricate dual single Fe/Co atoms synchronized with...
A strategy for defective/graphitic synergy in heteroatom-interlinked-triggered asphaltene (D/G-HASP) is presented. D/G-HASP reveals outstanding catalytic activities and durability half-cell (ORR/OER) full-cell (zinc–air) reactions.
Constructing Van der Waals heterojunction is a crucial strategy to achieve excellent photocatalytic activity. However, in most heterojunctions synthesized by ex situ assembly, electron transfer encounters huge hindrances at the interface between two components due large spacing and potential barrier.
