High-entropy alloys (HEAs) with unique physicochemical properties have attracted tremendous attention in many fields, yet the precise control on dimension and morphology at atomic level remains formidable challenges. Herein, we synthesize PtRuNiCoFeMo HEA subnanometer nanowires (SNWs) for alkaline hydrogen oxidation reaction (HOR). The mass specific activities of SNWs/C reach 6.75 A mgPt+Ru-1 8.96 mA cm-2, respectively, which are 2.8/2.6, 4.1/2.4, 19.8/18.7 times higher than those NPs/C,...
Abstract Preparation of single atom catalysts (SACs) is broad interest to materials scientists and chemists but remains a formidable challenge. Herein, we develop an efficient approach synthesize SACs via precursor-dilution strategy, in which metalloporphyrin (MTPP) with target metals are co-polymerized diluents (tetraphenylporphyrin, TPP), followed by pyrolysis N-doped porous carbon supported (M 1 /N-C). Twenty-four different SACs, including noble non-noble metals, successfully prepared. In...
Single-atom catalysts (SACs) have attracted broad interest recently due to their superior catalytic properties. However, a facile fabrication method for the large-scale synthesis of SACs is still in demand. This study reports mechanochemical approach mass production noble metal SACs. The successful formation atomically dispersed palladium species on zinc oxide (Pd1/ZnO) was verified by aberration-corrected high-angle annular dark-field scanning transmission electron microscopy and X-ray...

Understanding the synergy of Cu0 and Cu+ in hydrogenation reactions is indispensable for reasonably modulating product distributions improving catalyst design. Herein, we investigated dimethyl oxalate on CeZrOx-supported Cu with varying molar ratios nCu+/nCu0. A volcano-type correlation structure activity indicates that selectivity ethylene glycol strongly dependent nCu+/nCu0 ratio, arising from matching rates activation carbonyl group-included reactants H2 Cu0, respectively. The maximal...
With the advantages of a Fenton-inactive characteristic and unique p electrons that can hybridize with O2 molecules, p-block metal-based single-atom catalysts (SACs) for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) have tremendous potential. Nevertheless, their undesirable intrinsic activity caused by closed d10 electronic configuration remains major challenge. Herein, an Sb-based SAC featuring carbon vacancy-enhanced Sb–N4 active centers, corroborated results high-angle annular dark-field scanning...
DNA-encoded small molecule libraries (DELs) have enabled discovery of novel inhibitors for many distinct protein targets therapeutic value through screening with up to billions unique molecules.
