Semihydrogenation of acetylene in an ethylene-rich stream is industrially important process. Conventional supported monometallic Pd catalysts offer high conversion, but they suffer from very low selectivity to ethylene due overhydrogenation and the formation carbonaceous deposits. Herein, a series Ag alloyed single-atom catalysts, possessing only ppm levels Pd, on silica gel were prepared by simple incipient wetness coimpregnation method applied selective hydrogenation under conditions close...
Surface-supported isolated atoms in single-atom catalysts (SACs) are usually stabilized by diverse defects. The fabrication of high-metal-loading and thermally stable SACs remains a formidable challenge due to the difficulty creating high densities underpinning Here we report that Pt can be through strong covalent metal-support interaction (CMSI) is not associated with support defects, yielding high-loading SAC trapping either already deposited or PtO2 units vaporized from nanoparticles...
Abstract Dry reforming of methane (DRM) is an attractive route to utilize CO 2 as a chemical feedstock with which convert CH 4 into valuable syngas and simultaneously mitigate both greenhouse gases. Ni-based DRM catalysts are promising due their high activity low cost, but suffer from poor stability coke formation has hindered commercialization. Herein, we report that atomically dispersed Ni single atoms, stabilized by interaction Ce-doped hydroxyapatite, highly active coke-resistant...
The classical strong metal–support interaction between TiO 2 and IB metals was demonstrated.
BRCA1-associated breast and ovarian cancer risks can be modified by common genetic variants. To identify further risk-modifying loci, we performed a multi-stage GWAS of 11,705 BRCA1 carriers (of whom 5,920 were diagnosed with 1,839 cancer), replication in an additional sample 2,646 carriers. We identified novel risk modifier locus at 1q32 for (rs2290854, P = 2.7×10−8, HR 1.14, 95% CI: 1.09–1.20). In addition, two loci: 17q21.31 (rs17631303, 1.4×10−8, 1.27, 1.17–1.38) 4q32.3 (rs4691139,...
Pd does it alone: Tailored heterogeneous catalysts offer exciting, alternative, clean technologies for regioselective molecular transformations. A mesoporous alumina support stabilizes atomically dispersed PdII surface sites (see picture, C light gray, O red, dark Al purple, H white), thereby dramatically enhancing catalytic performance in the aerobic selective oxidation of alcohols.
A family of titania derived nanocomposites synthesized via sol-gel and hydrothermal routes exhibit excellent performance for the photocatalytic degradation two important exemplar water pollutants, oxytetracycline Congo Red. Low loadings Co3O4 nanoparticles dispersed over surfaces anatase TiO2 confer visible light photoactivity aqueous phase decomposition organics through resulting heterojunction reduced band gap. Subsequent modification these Co3O4/TiO2 composites by trace amounts graphene...

Artificial photosynthesis driven by inorganic photocatalysts offers a promising route to renewable solar fuels, however efficient CO2 photoreduction remains challenge. A family of hierarchical nanocomposites, comprising P25 nanoparticles encapsulated within microporous CoAl-layered double hydroxides (CoAl-LDHs) were prepared via one-pot hydrothermal synthesis. Heterojunction formation between the visible light absorbing CoAl-LDH and UV semiconductors extends utilisation spectrum, while solid...

Phosphor-containing white light-emitting diodes (LEDs) with low color-correlated temperatures (CCTs) and high color rendering indexes (CRIs) are highly desirable for energy-efficient environmentally friendly solid-state light sources. Here, we report a new efficient blue light-excited, green-emitting Ce3+-activated CaY2ZrScAl3O12 phosphor, which underpins the fabrication of high-color quality full-visible-spectrum warm-white LED devices ultrahigh CRI values (Ra > 96 R9 96). A family...
Cobalt oxides find widespread application in energy materials as oxygen evolution catalysts (OECs) the reaction (OER) and photocatalytic overall water splitting (OWS) reaction.
