By elaborately constructing a Fe–Zn based diatomic catalyst, the active center is changed from FeN 4– ZnN 4 to Zn–N 2 after protonation, leading well-maintained structure and thus high stability of ORR.
Abstract A zinc‐based single‐atom catalyst has been recently explored with distinguished stability, of which the fully occupied Zn 2+ 3d 10 electronic configuration is Fenton‐reaction‐inactive, but catalytic activity thus inferior. Herein, we report an approach to manipulate s‐band by constructing a B,N co‐coordinated Zn‐B/N‐C catalyst. We confirm both experimentally and theoretically that unique N 2 ‐Zn‐B crucial, in + (3d 4s 1 ) can hold enough delocalized electrons generate suitable...
Abstract Efficient utilization of near‐infrared (NIR) light that takes a primary percentage the solar spectrum is great significance for practical applications photocatalysis. However, development singular NIR‐based photocatalysts still remains grand challenge. Herein, crystalline carbon nitride photocatalyst proposed by using molten‐salt assisted protocol with carbohydrazide as oxygen‐containing precursor.

Single-atom catalysis (SAC) attracts wide interest for zinc–air batteries that require high-performance bifunctional electrocatalysts oxygen reactions. However, catalyst design is still highly challenging because of the insufficient driving force promoting multiple-electron transfer kinetics. Herein, we report a superstructure-assisted SAC on tungsten carbides evolution and reduction In addition to usual single atomic sites, strikingly, reveal presence ordered Co superstructures in...
Carbon nitrides with layered structures and scalable syntheses have emerged as potential anode choices for the commercialization of sodium-ion batteries. However, low crystallinity materials synthesized through traditional thermal condensation leads to insufficient conductivity poor cycling stability, which significantly hamper their practical applications. Herein, a facile salt-covering method was proposed synthesis highly ordered crystalline C
Developing advanced electrode materials is crucial for improving the electrochemical performances of proton batteries. Currently, anodes are primarily crystalline which suffer from inferior cyclic stability and high potential. Herein, we propose amorphous batteries by using a general ion-exchange protocol to introduce multivalent metal cations activating host material. Taking Al3+ as an example, theoretical experimental analysis demonstrates electrostatic interaction between lattice oxygen,...
Abstract Carbon nitrides with two‐dimensional layered structures and high theoretical capacities are attractive as anode materials for sodium‐ion batteries while their low crystallinity insufficient structural stability strongly restrict practical applications. Coupling carbon conductive may relieve these issues. However, little is known about the influence of nitrogen (N) configurations on interactions between C 3 N 4 , which fundamentally critical guiding precise design advanced ‐related...
Graphitic carbon nitride (g‐C 3 N 4 ) is viewed as a promising visible‐light photocatalyst for industrialization due to its low processing temperature and high chemical stability. However, serious charge recombination caused by incomplete polymerization during direct calcination of nitrogen‐rich precursors significantly limits photocatalytic performances. To boost separation, herein, we propose rational strategy constructing crystalline g‐C /g‐C 4−x S x isotype heterostructure through the...
Lithium metal anodes with ultrahigh theoretical capacities are very attractive for assembling high-performance batteries. However, uncontrolled Li dendrite growth strongly retards their practical applications. Different from conventional separator modification strategies that always focused on functional group tuning or mechanical barrier construction, herein, we propose a crystallinity engineering–related tactic by using the highly crystalline carbon nitride as interlayer to suppress...
