Compressive strain is induced in Pt crystals by alloying with smaller-sized 3d transition metals, which enhances the H2–NO reduction reaction activity by decreasing the energy required for breaking the N–O bond.

The Fe2+/modified silica catalysts have been substituted with four types of transition metals such as Fe3+, Cr3+, Mn3+ and Mo. The catalytic activity of these catalysts has been tested for the oxidative degradation of Reactive Black 5 (RB5) at 30°C and pH 4.5. The substituted Fe2+/modified silica with Fe3+ (Fe2+:Fe3+/ m-SiO2) exhibited the highest catalytic performance compared to others transition metals by degrading the RB5 nearly to 95%. This catalyst possessed on high stability by maintaining its performance during the three successive cycles of reaction. These findings can be ascribed to the plausible enhancement in the formation of hydroxyl radicals (HO●) due to the effective redox between Fe2+ and Fe3+

The catalytic activity of transition metals in hydrogenolysis of ethane was approximated by a polynomial of second order with variables of basic physical importance, viz., molar heat capacity, covalent atomic radius of the metal, heat of melting, and first ionization potential of the metal atom. The physico-chemical significance of the correlation of these variables with the catalytic activity of transition metals is discussed.

Among the novel class of mono-elemental two-dimensional (2D) materials, termed Xenes, phosphorene is emerging as a great promise for its peculiar chemical and physical properties. This review collects a selection of the recent breakthroughs that are related to the application of phosphorene in catalysis and electrocatalysis. Noteworthy, thanks to its intrinsic Lewis basic character, pristine phosphorene turned out to be more efficient and more selective than other non-metal catalysts, in chemical processes as the electroreduction of nitrogen to ammonia or the alkylation of nucleophiles with esters. Once functionalized with transition metals nanoparticles (Co, Ni, Pd, Pt, Ag, Au), its catalytic activity has been evaluated in several processes, mainly hydrogen and oxygen evolution reactions. Under visible light irradiation, it has shown a great improvement of the activity, demonstrating high potential as a photocatalyst.
