Breaking the activity limitation of iridium single-atom catalyst in hydrogenation of quinoline with synergistic nanoparticles catalysis

Metal-related electrocatalysts for Li–CO2batteries: an overview of the fundamentals to explore future-oriented strategies

“…[185][186][187][188] They have been widely used in many elds such as oxidation reactions, 189 electrocatalysis, 186 photocatalysis, 190 and hydrogenation catalysis. 191 Therefore, in recent years, researchers have extended their application to Li-CO 2 batteries to investigate their catalytic performance in this new eld. In 2022, Xu et al 192 proposed that nitrogen-doped carbon nanobers were utilized as copper single-atom carriers (Cu/NCNFs) for the preparation of Li-CO 2 batteries as an effective catalyst.…”

Exploring Stability of Transition-Metal Single Atoms on Cu2O Surfaces

“…Using periodic DFT calculations, Kropp et al studied 14 atomically dispersed TMs on halite-type oxides and found that Pd and Pt can form stable negatively charged species upon binding to oxygen vacancies and have high activity in CO oxidation at low temperature. The synergistic effect between SACs and SCCs also plays an important role in heterogeneous catalysis: − recently, it is reported that an electrocatalyst of both Ru SACs and N-doped-graphitic-shell-covered nitride-Ru nanoparticles presents superior hydrogen evolution reaction activity in both acidic and basic media. There is little work about SCCs on Cu 2 O surfaces by TMs replacing the oxygen atom.…”

From haemoglobin to single-site hydrogenation catalyst

“…Single-site catalysts, with their well-defined atomic sites, can allow maximum metal usage while achieving high activity/ selectivity. [19][20][21][22] There has been few examples of single-site FeN x @C-catalysed hydrogenation: Cheong et al reported a SBA-15-templated material, using Fe(NO 3 ) 3 and glucosamine as precursors, whereas Yun and Lu et al opted for a MOFencapsulated Fe precursor (Fig. 1B).…”
