Abstract Platinum is the most efficient catalyst for hydrogen evolution reaction in acidic conditions, but its widespread use has been impeded by scarcity and high cost. Herein, Pt atomic clusters (Pt ACs) containing Pt-O-Pt units were prepared using Co/N co-doped carbon (CoNC) as support. ACs are anchored to single Co atoms on CoNC forming strong interactions. Pt-ACs/CoNC exhibits only 24 mV overpotential at 10 mA cm −2 a mass activity of 28.6 A mg −1 50 mV, which more than 6 times higher...

Abstract Simultaneous optimization on bulk photogenerated‐carrier separation and surface atomic arrangement of catalyst is crucial for reactivity CO 2 photo‐reduction. Rare studies capture the detail that, better than in‐plane regulation, interlayer‐spacing regulation may significantly influence carrier transport bulk‐catalyst thereby affecting its photo‐reduction in g ‐C 3 N 4 . Herein, through a single atom‐assisted thermal‐polymerization process, single‐atom In‐bonded N‐atom (In δ + –N )...

Abstract The effective flow of electrons through bulk electrodes is crucial for achieving high-performance batteries, although the poor conductivity homocyclic sulfur molecules results in high barriers against passage electrode structures. This phenomenon causes incomplete reactions and formation metastable products. To enhance performance electrode, it important to place substitutable electrification units accelerate cleavage increase selectivity stable products during charging discharging....
