Activity, selectivity and stability of oxygen evolution catalysts for water electrolyzers: an interplay between composition, morphology, preparation and processing.

This perspective article describes the barrier, progress and future direction of research on the photocatalytic and photoelectrochemical solar fuel generation.

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are toxic and recognized as one of the major contributors to air pollution.

The coupling of carbon dioxide (CO₂) with epoxides with the formation of cyclic carbonates is a highly attractive 100% atom economic reaction. It represents a greener and safer alternative to the conventional synthesis of cyclic carbonates from diols and toxic phosgene.

Two-dimensional (2D) materials have shown extraordinary performances as photocatalysts compared to their bulk counterparts.

This study reveals the essential role played by surface oxygen vacancies in catalytic oxidation reactions, and complements the common viewpoint that Co³⁺ is the major activity species in Co₃O₄-based systems.

We report a facile and inexpensive wet synthetic method to electrocatalytically active, B-substituted graphene (B-SuG) by controlled substitution of the C atoms of graphene with B atoms using BH₃-THF. The resulting material is shown to serve as an efficient metal-free electrocatalyst for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER).

Developing novel and efficient catalysts is a critical step in common heterogeneous hydrogenation and oxidation reactions.
