Ultrafine metal nanoparticles isolated on oxide nano-islands as exceptional sintering-resistant catalysts
Ultrafine nanoparticles (NPs) have attracted extensive research interest, especially in heterogeneous catalysis. However, the inherent sintering pr…
Incorporation of isolated Ag atoms and Au nanoparticles in copper nitride for selective CO electroreduction to multicarbon alcohols
CO electroreduction has recently been explored as an alternative to CO2 electroreduction for multicarbon product formation, because it b…
Anion vacancies activate N2 to ammonia on Ba–Si orthosilicate oxynitride-hydride
Anion vacancies on metal oxide surfaces have been studied as either active sites or promoting sites in various chemical reactions involving oxidati…
Progress and pitfalls in designing heterogeneous catalysts with molecular precision
Atomically dispersed heterogeneous catalysts offer the opportunity to design active sites with molecular precision. A recent proliferation of synth…
Role of the human-in-the-loop in emerging self-driving laboratories for heterogeneous catalysis
Self-driving laboratories (SDLs) represent a cutting-edge convergence of machine learning with laboratory automation. SDLs operate in active learni…
Selectively monitoring the operando temperature of active metal nanoparticles during catalytic reactions by X-ray absorption nanothermometry
Heat involved in catalytic reactions can influence the local temperature and performance of the active site, potentially causing catalyst degradati…
Electron and proton storage on separate Ru and BaO domains mediated by conductive low-work-function carbon to accelerate ammonia synthesis
Ammonia (NH3) has gained attention as a carbon-free fuel and hydrogen carrier, making its energy-efficient production increasingly impor…
