Size effect has been regularly utilized to tune the catalytic activity and selectivity of metal nanoparticles (NPs). Yet, there is a lack understanding size in electrocatalytic reduction CO2, an important reaction that couples with intermittent renewable energy storage carbon cycle utilization. We report here prominent size-dependent activity/selectivity CO2 over differently sized Pd NPs, ranging from 2.4 10.3 nm. The Faradaic efficiency for CO production varies 5.8% at −0.89 V (vs...

The electrochemical CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR), with water as a hydrogen source, has been attracting great attention due to its promising applications for carbon recycle utilization and renewable electricity storage. In order drive the process economically, highly efficient catalysts are urgently needed overcome constraints of high overpotential, low Faradaic efficiency, current density CO2RR. This Perspective summarizes performance Pd-containing nanostructures toward CO2RR related...

Hierarchical porous TiO2-carbon hybrid composites with a hollow structure were successfully fabricated by one-pot low-temperature solvothermal approach in the presence of dodecylamine. The growth mechanism hierarchical spheres was demonstrated to include condensation carbon source and co-instantaneous situ hydrolysis Ti-alkoxide, consequent assembly TiO2@C nanoparticles on self-conglobated template. As compared solid (86%), exhibited an enhanced photocatalytic efficiency (97%) for...

Abstract Although much research on device engineering have brought about significant improvements in PM6:Y6‐based polymer solar cell (PSCs) performance, there is still a lack of relevant to solve the problems caused by over‐aggregation Y6 and long‐term stability morphology. Herein, newly designed synthesized low‐bandgap asymmetric small molecule acceptor TIT‐2Cl based thieno[3,2‐ b ]indole core elaborately introduced into PSCs suppress molecules with significantly increased efficiency from...

Carbon-based electrocatalysts derived from zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) have garnered significant attention, owing to their structural advantages, high surface area, and tunable active sites. Herein, we report the synthesis of heteroatom sulfur (S) modified ZIF-8 carbon nanocages (ZnS@N/S-C) for oxygen electrocatalysis through self-assembly two-step pyrolysis. The resultant ZnS@N/S-C exhibits catalytic activity towards reduction reaction (ORR) with half-wave potential (0.86 V)...
