Atomically dispersed noble metal catalysts often exhibit high catalytic performances, but the loading density must be kept low (usually below 0.5%) to avoid formation of nanoparticles through sintering. We report a photochemical strategy fabricate stable atomically palladium-titanium oxide catalyst (Pd1/TiO2) on ethylene glycolate (EG)-stabilized ultrathin TiO2 nanosheets containing Pd up 1.5%. The Pd1/TiO2 exhibited activity in hydrogenation C=C bonds, exceeding that surface atoms...
Surface coordination chemistry of nanomaterials deals with the on how ligands are coordinated their surface metal atoms and influence properties at molecular level. This Perspective demonstrates that there is a strong link between shape-controlled synthesis, many intriguing nanomaterials. While small adsorbates introduced in synthesis can control shapes nanocrystals by minimizing energy via preferential specific facets, properly nanoparticles readily promote catalysis steric interactions...
Abstract Atomically dispersing metal atoms on supports provides an ideal strategy for maximizing utilization catalysis, which is particularly important fabricating cost‐effective catalysts based Earth‐scarce metals. However, due to the high surface energy and thus instability of single atoms, it remains challenging fabricate stable atomically dispersed catalysts. Here, strategies stabilizing various are summarized. Based enhance interaction between support prevent sintering several...
Hollow mesoporous silica spheres have recently attracted increasing attention. However, effective synthesis of uniform hollow with controllable well-defined pore structures for fundamental research and practical applications has remained a significant challenge.

Abstract Metal-support interaction is one of the most important parameters in controlling catalysis supported metal catalysts. Silica, a widely used oxide support, has been rarely reported as an effective support to create active metal-support interfaces for promoting catalysis. In this work, by coating Cu microparticles with mesoporous SiO 2 , we discover that Cu/SiO interface creates exceptional effect promote catalytic hydrogenation esters. Both computational and experimental studies...
Abstract A versatile system combining chemotherapy with photothermal therapy for cancer cells using Pd nanosheet‐covered hollow mesoporous silica nanoparticles is reported. While the core can be used to load anticancer drugs (i.e., doxorubicin) chemotherapy, nanosheets on surface of particles convert NIR light into heat therapy. More importantly, loading nanospheres dramatically increase amount cellular internalization nanosheets: almost 11 times higher than unloaded nanosheets. The...
Simple shape control: Ultrathin Pd nanosheets are readily fabricated by simply mixing [Pd2(μ-CO)2Cl4]2− with H2O at ambient temperature.

The interfacial sites of metal-support interface have been considered to be limited the atomic region metal/support perimeter, despite their high importance in catalysis. By using single-crystal surface and nanocrystal as model catalysts, we now demonstrate that overgrowth atomic-thick Cu
Single-atom nanozymes (SAzymes) open new possibilities for the development of artificial enzymes that have catalytic activity comparable to natural peroxidase (POD). So far, most efforts focused on structural modulation Fe-N4 moiety mimic metalloprotein heme center. However, non-heme-iron POD with much higher activity, example, HppE, has not been mimicked successfully due its complexity. Herein, carbon dots (CDs)-supported SAzymes twisted, nonplanar Fe-O3N2 active sites, highly similar...
Photocatalytic oxidative dehydrogenation of ethane offers a promising approach for producing ethylene under mild conditions.
