Boron has been explored as p-block catalysts for nitrogen reduction reaction (NRR) by density functional theory. Unlike transition metals, on which the active centers need empty d orbitals to accept lone-pair electrons of molecule, sp3 hybrid orbital boron atom can form B-to-N π-back bonding. This results in population N-N π* and concomitant decrease bond order. We demonstrate that catalytic activity is highly correlated with degree charge transfer between substrate. Among 21...

Carbon composite monoliths were prepared from a commercial phenolic resin mixed with just 1 wt% of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) followed by carbonization and physical activation CO2. The products possess hierarchical macroporous–microporous structure superior CO2 adsorption properties. In particular, they show the top-ranked capacity (52 mg per g adsorbent at 25 °C 114 mmHg) under low partial pressures, which is more relevance for flue gas applications. This matches or exceeds those carbons...
Current metal-free catalysts for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) are mainly carbon-based. In this work, HER catalytic activity on two-dimensional (2D) boron sheets (α and β12) explored using periodic density functional theory. Using the binding free energy of H (ΔGH*) as descriptor, we found that both α β12 present superior activity, with ΔGH* being close to zero. It is expected 2D would be a promising catalyst in electrolysis water may offer novel thoughts design new other reactions.
