Abstract The major challenge of photocatalytic water splitting, the prototypical reaction for direct production hydrogen by using solar energy, is to develop low‐cost yet highly efficient and stable semiconductor photocatalysts. Herein, an effective strategy synthesizing extremely active graphitic carbon nitride (g‐C 3 N 4 ) from a precursor, urea, reported. g‐C exhibits extraordinary hydrogen‐evolution rate (ca. 20 000 μmol h −1 g under full arc), which leads high turnover number (TON) over...

A well-crystallized α-FeOOH (a goethite widespread in nature) shows an efficient and stable oxygen evolution reaction by removing surface chemically adsorbed water.
The exploration of simultaneous removal co-existing or multiple pollutants from water by the means nanomaterials paves a new avenue that is free secondary pollution and inexpensive. In aquatic environment, river contains mixture ions, which can influence adsorption process. this respect, removing heavy metal ions becomes true challenge. Here, four namely, Pb2+, Cd2+, Cu2+, Ni2+, have been successfully removed simultaneously using ultrafine mesoporous magnetite (Fe3O4) nanoparticles (UFMNPs)...

Graphene/nitrogen-doped porous carbon sandwiches were prepared by hydrothermal carbonization. Once the electronic conductivity in carbon–carbon hybrids reaches a certain value, performance is controlled active nitrogen sites.
The oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is critical for electrochemical energy storage and conversion: e.g., in fuel cells metal–air batteries. A major challenge to develop cost-effective durable ORR catalysts, replace the relatively expensive platinum-loaded carbon (PtC) counterparts, particularly large-scale applications. Despite progress over past few decades developing efficient non-precious-metal (NPM) such as Fe/N/C-based materials (the best-known alternatives), most of reported catalytic...
Experimental techniques to monitor and visualize the behaviors of single nanoparticles have not only revealed significant spatial temporal heterogeneity those individuals, which are hidden in ensemble methods, but more importantly, they also enabled researchers elucidate origin such heterogeneity. In pursuing intrinsic structure-function relations nanoparticles, recently developed stochastic collision approach demonstrated some early promise. However, it was later realized that appropriate...
