While catalysis is highly dependent on the electronic structure of catalyst, understanding catalytic performance affected by electron spin regulation remains challenging and rare. Herein, we have developed a facile strategy to manipulation cobalt state over covalent organic frameworks (COFs), COF-367-Co, simply changing oxidation Co centered in porphyrin. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations together with experimental results confirm that CoII CoIII are embedded COF-367 S = 1/2 0...
Heterogeneous catalysis often involves molecular adsorptions to charged catalyst site and reactions triggered by charges.

The electrocatalytic activity of transition-metal-based compounds is strongly related to the spin states. However, underlying relationship connecting catalytic remains unclear.

The electrocatalytic activity of transition-metal (TM)-based catalysts is correlated with the spin states metal atoms. However, developing a way to manipulate remains great challenge. Using first-principles calculations, we first report crucial role exposed Mo atoms around an S-vacancy in dinitrogen reduction reaction on defective MoS2 nanosheets and propose novel strategy for regulating electronic moments by tuning single-atom promoter (SAP). Single TM adsorbed basal plane serve as SAPs via...
Dual-metal-site catalysts (DMSCs) have emerged as a frontier in heterogeneous catalysis, while the underlying relationships connecting their dual-site synergistic effects on catalytic performance remain unclear. Here we present comprehensive first-principles study of O2 activation and CO oxidation series N-coordinated DMSCs. We discovered that N3-coordinated-adjacent dual-metal model has stronger dynamic effects, leading to much higher activity than others investigated. Based this model,...

Polarized charges on dual-reactive centers of C<sub>2</sub>N-supported single-atom based transition metal ion catalysts promoting HCOOH dehydrogenation.
The remarkable chemical activity of metal single-atom catalysts (SACs) lies in their unique electronic states associated with the low-coordination nature sites. Yet, state manipulation normally requires direct contact other atoms, which inevitably changes environment. Herein, we found by first-principle calculations that a Co SAC for HCOOH dehydrogenation is appreciably enhanced via noncontact single atom promoter.
