Herein, facet-engineered Cu2 O nanostructures are synthesized by wet chemical methods for electrocatalytic HER, and it is found that the octahedral with exposed crystal planes of (111) (O-Cu2 O) has best hydrogen evolution performance. Operando Raman spectroscopy ex-situ characterization techniques showed reduced during in which Cu dendrites grown on surface nanostructures, resulting better HER performance O-Cu2 after O-A) compared as-prepared O. Under illumination, onset potential O-A ca....
Catalytic NH3 synthesis and decomposition offer a new promising way to store transport renewable energy in the form of from remote or offshore sites industrial plants. To use as hydrogen carrier, it is important understand catalytic functionality reactions at an atomic level. Here, we report for first time that Ru species confined 13X zeolite cavity display highest specific activity over 4000 h-1 with lower activation barrier, compared most reported materials literature. Mechanistic modeling...
Metal–defect cooperative catalysis in Ru-doped defective MOF-808 is directly visualised via combined XAS, XPDF, XRD, and IR analysis.
The establishment of active sites as the frustrated Lewis pair (FLP) has recently attracted much attention ranging from homogeneous to heterogeneous systems in field catalysis. Their unquenched reactivity acid and base pairs close proximity that are unable form stable adducts been shown activate small molecules such dihydrogen heterolytically. Herein, we show grafted Ru metal-organic framework-based catalysts prepared via N-containing linkers rather catalytically inactive for H2 activation...
This study focuses on characterising and optimising novel zeolite-supported Ru catalysts for ammonia decomposition, with a focus the effects of N-substitution catalyst structure activity.
Stabilization of PW 9 Ni 3 polyoxometalate (POM) anions in the MIL-101(Cr) framework, which displays high water oxidation activity under electrochemical conditions with POM remaining intact.
We report the guest-anion-induced photoluminescence enhancement of metal–organic frameworks (UiO-66-NH2), first based upon diffraction and computational evidence. found that only limited anions, namely, carbonate fluoride, can lead to a significant in photoluminescence, whereas their related such as acetate chloride, cannot. The optimized crystal structures reveal guest fluoride ions interact with four framework amino functional groups through hydrogen bonding (ca. 1.6–1.7 Å) ultimately...
The controlled synthesis of novel bi- and trinuclear Cu-oxo nanoclusters supported on UiO-66-NH 2 that show notably different catalytic properties in the photocatalytic formic acid decomposition reaction is reported.
Abstract The advancement of heterogeneous catalysts incorporating metal clusters in the nanometric size range has garnered significant attention due to their extraordinary catalytic activity and selectivity. detailed characterization understanding atomic structure these within is crucial for elucidating underlying reaction mechanisms. In present study, a distinctive three-atom PdNi cluster, characterized by two Pd atoms at terminal positions central Ni atom, was synthesized over mordenite...
Selective assembly of monolayered MoS 2 (A) and In Se 3 (B) in solution gives a controllable atomic AB-type layer stacking. A new class photocatalysts can be tailor-made with high activity using this simple but inexpensive bottom-up method.
