Single atom catalysts (SACs) have been widely studied in the field of CO2 electroreduction, but industrial-level current density and near-unity product selectivity are still difficult to achieve. Herein, a diatomic site (DASCs) consisting Co-Cu hetero-diatomic pairs is synthesized.

Water electrolysis for H2 production is restricted by the sluggish oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Using thermodynamically more favorable hydrazine oxidation (HzOR) to replace OER has attracted ever-growing attention. Herein, we report a twisted NiCoP nanowire array immobilized with Ru single atoms (Ru1 -NiCoP) as superior bifunctional electrocatalyst toward both HzOR and hydrogen (HER), realizing an ultralow working potential of -60 mV overpotential 32 current density 10 mA cm-2 ,...

Due to its intrinsic structure and characteristics, small size monodispersity, control of single-crystalline Cu2O polyhedra in aqueous media is a challenge, which important overcome achieve enhanced photocatalytic activity. Here, we use heterogeneous nucleation, rather than homogeneous with gold nanorods as seeds realize subsequent uniform crystal growth. We obtained nearly monodisperse octahedral Au@Cu2O nanocrystals shells, are distinct from the pentagonal column-shaped structures...

One-dimension noble nanomaterials have promising applications in many fields, and their growth pattern control is significant to property modulation. Herein, we report a facile strategy with which the of Ag on Au nanorod (NR) or decahedral nanoparticle (NP) surface can be precisely controlled various structured Ag/Au NRs synthesized. Achievement mainly attributed adjustable reaction kinetics Ag– Ag0. Slow moderate rate favor asymmetrical growth, producing Au-tipped Ag–Au–Ag NRs,...

As BiVO4 is one of the most popular visible-light-responding photocatalysts, it has been widely used for visible-light-driven water splitting and environmental purification. However, typical photocatalytic activity unmodified degradation organic pollutants still not impressive. To address this limitation, we studied Fe2O3-modified porous nanoplates. Compared with BiVO4, nanoplates showed significantly enhanced activities in decomposing both dye colorless pollutant models, such as rhodamine B...

We present a strategy to achieve heterogeneous seeded growth on nanoparticle (NP) surfaces and construct various Pt nanostructures (cage- ring-like) by using selective etching as surface-free-energy-distribution modifier. Preprepared Au polyhedron NPs (octahedron, decahedron, nanorod, nanoplate) are mixed with KI, H(2)PtCl(6), surfactant. Under heating, KI is first oxidized I(2), which then selectively etches the edges of polyhedrons. Consequently, partial removal surface atoms creates...

Electronic perturbation induced by the microenvironment regulation adjacent to FeN4 sites anchored on metal–N–C materials will accelerate its oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) kinetics. Herein, we report a fine-tuning in charge configuration of through defect-rich N/S-doped carbon nest derived from chemically cross-linked pyrrole/thiophene copolymer (CCPPT) with sp3-hybridized cross-linker.

Hybrid nanocrystals combining different properties together are important multifunctional materials that underpin further development in catalysis, energy storage, et al., and they often constructed using heterogeneous seeded growth. Their spatial configuration (shape, composition, dimension) is primarily determined by the deposition process which depends on lattice mismatch between deposited material seed. Precise control of crucial to applications, but suffers from limited tunability...
