Transition-metal and nitrogen-codoped carbon-based (TM-N/C) catalysts are promising candidates for catalyzing the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). However, TM-N/C suffer from insufficient ORR activity, unclear active site structure, poor durability, particularly in acidic solution. Herein, we report single Co atom N codoped carbon nanofibers (Co–N/CNFs) catalyst with high durability desirable activity both alkaline solutions. The half-wave potential of shows a negligible decrease after 10...
Pt atomic clusters (Pt-ACs) display outstanding electrocatalytic performance because of their unique electronic structure with a large number highly exposed surface atoms. However, the small size and specific area intrinsically associated ACs pose challenges in synthesis stabilization Pt-ACs without agglomeration. Herein, we report novel one-step carbon-defect-driven electroless deposition method to produce ultrasmall but well-defined stable supported by defective graphene (Pt-AC/DG)...

Ruthenium (Ru) is an ideal substitute to commercial Pt/C for the acidic hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), but it still suffers from undesirable activity due strong adsorption free energy of H* (ΔGH*). Herein, we propose crystalline phase engineering by loading Ru clusters on precisely prepared cubic and hexagonal molybdenum carbide (α-MoC/β-Mo2C) supports modulate interfacial interactions achieve high HER activity. Advanced spectroscopies demonstrate that β-Mo2C shows a lower valence state...

Starting from batch Se@Ag2Se, resultant samples...
Developing efficient catalysts for steering the electrochemical CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) toward high-value chemicals beyond CO and formic acid is highly desirable. Herein, we have developed copper-based confined within a rationally designed covalent triazine framework (CTF-B), featuring CuN2Cl2 structure, selective CO2RR to hydrocarbons with maximum Faradaic efficiency (FE) of 81.3% an FE C2H4 up 30.6%.

Strong transboundary electron transfer in high-entropy quantum-dots significantly accelerates the Tafel kinetics HER, which effectively reduces cost of cathode catalyst proton exchange membrane water electrolysis (PEMWE).
Abstract Atop and multiple adsorbed hydrogen are considered as key intermediates on Pt‐group metal for acidic evolution reaction (HER), yet the role of bridge intermediate ( * H ) is consistently overlooked experimentally.
