The selective hydrogenation of alkynes is an important reaction; however, the catalytic activity and selectivity in this reaction are generally conflicting. In study, ultrafine Pd nanoparticles (NPs) loaded on a graphite-like C3 N4 structure with nitrogen defects (Pd/DCN) synthesized. resulting Pd/DCN exhibits excellent photocatalytic performance transfer ammonia borane. rate superior to those Pd/BCN (bulk without defects) under visible-light irradiation. characterization results density...
The photo-degradation of organic pollutants using solar light is an attractive chemical process for water pollution control. In this study, we synthesized a new composite material consisting silver phosphate (Ag3PO4) sub-microcrystals grown on layered molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) and graphene (GR) hybrid as high-performance photocatalyst the degradation toxic pollutants. This was prepared via simple two-step hydrothermal that used sodium molybdate, thiourea oxide precursors MoS2/GR nitrate...
Silver, king among plasmonic materials, features low inelastic absorption in the visible-infrared (vis-IR) spectral region compared to other metals. In contrast, copper is commonly regarded as too lossy for actual applications. Here, we demonstrate vis-IR plasmons with quality factors >60 long nanowires (NWs), determined by electron energy-loss spectroscopy. We explain this result noticing that most of electromagnetic energy these lies outside metal, thus becoming less sensitive absorption....
Following the lifespan of optical excitations from their creation to decay into photons is crucial in understanding materials properties. Macroscopically, techniques such as photoluminescence excitation spectroscopy provide unique information on photophysics with applications diverse quantum optics or photovoltaics. Materials and emission pathways are affected by nanometer scale variations directly impacting devices performances. However, they cannot be accessed, despite techniques,...
Fe cations produced during the reduction of O 2 on Fe–N–C materials transform into Fe-oxides due to a local increase in pH.
Discontinuous and uneven Li+ flux leads to inhomogeneous reactions, accelerating lithium (Li) dendrite growth reducing the utilization of active materials, which severely impacts performance metal batteries (LMBs). To address this challenge, we propose an effective homogeneous reaction design facilitated by all-aligned nanofibrous architecture, establishes continuous, uniform, rapid pathways throughout battery. This enhances diffusion dynamics ensures a uniform distribution current density,...
The metal-hydride-based "topochemical reduction" process has produced several thermodynamically unstable phases across various transition metal oxide series with unusual crystal structures and nontrivial ground states.

This structure, formula of Sm9Ni9O22 as revealed four-dimensional scanning transmission electron microscopy...
Perovskite rare-earth nickelates RNiO3 are prototype correlated oxides displaying a metal–insulator transition (MIT) at temperature tunable by the ionic radius of R.

Meanwhile, it showed the...
The electrolyte plays an essential role in the advancement of lithium-sulfur batteries (LSBs), as it not only transports charge carriers but also extensively influences sulfur conversion mechanisms and electrode-electrolyte interphases formed on electrode surface, thereby directly impacting battery performance. However, majority existing electrolytes suffer from incompatibility with either Li anode or cathode. Here, we develop a densely packed ion-cluster (DPIE) through strategic combination...
Thermal transport in nanostructures plays a critical role modern technologies.
