The experimental exploration of the chemical space crystalline materials, especially metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), requires multiparameter control a large set reactions, which is unavoidably time-consuming and labor-intensive when performed manually. To accelerate rate material discovery while maintaining high reproducibility, we developed machine learning algorithm integrated with robotic synthesis platform for closed-loop polyoxometalate-scaffolding (POMOFs). eXtreme Gradient Boosting...
The self-assembly of polyoxometalate (POM) clusters remains challenging because they heavily depend on highly sensitive synthetic conditions that produce a vast library potential building blocks and subunits such explicit control is hard. This work reports new strategies to construct compressed molybdenum blue (MB) type cluster rings with range giant MB POM {Mo54}, {Mo58}, {Mo85}, {Mo108}. These prove the limits ring structure archetype, showing it possible compress by 100 metal atoms from...
We present the encapsulation of SWNTs within N-rich macrocycles to enhance electrocatalytic activity towards oxygen-reduction reaction.
Abstract Catalytic water splitting is a promising approach to produce clean hydrogen fuel from renewable energy sources. However, developing hybrid heterostructures capable of efficiently breaking down into its constituent elements, hydrogen, and oxygen, presents considerable challenge. In this study, novel hierarchical POM/Pd/MoS 2 heterostructure, composed sheets MoS modified with Pd nanoparticles combined cobalt‐based polyoxometalate (POM), serving as bifunctional catalyst for reported....
Catalysts typically lose effectiveness during operation, with much effort invested in stabilising active metal centres to prolong their functional lifetime for as long possible. In this study palladium nanoparticles (PdNP) supported inside hollow graphitised carbon nanofibers (GNF), designated PdNP@GNF, opposed trend. PdNP@GNF exhibited continuously increasing activity over 30000 reaction cycles when used an electrocatalyst the hydrogen evolution (HER). The of expressed exchange current...
Catalytic Water Splitting Developing electrocatalysts for water splitting, vital in clean hydrogen production, is challenging. In article number 2300607, Alicia Forment-Aliaga, Maria del Carmen Gimenez-Lopez, and co-workers present a novel POM/Pd/MoS2 heterostructure with hierarchical growth. POM polymerization into fibers, triggered by Pd nanoparticles, creates bifunctional catalyst. Simultaneously, MoS2 sheets enhance charge storage, boosting catalytic activity. This development offers an...
