High crystallinity, low oxide content, and low sintering lead to optimally performing mesoporous Si photocatalysts for solar-driven hydrogen production.
Hydrogen generation via water electroreduction is a pivotal portion of exploiting clean-energy skills. Nevertheless, developing a low price and high-performance catalytic activity substance to take the place of expensively precious...
Rare earth metal doped ZrO2 can promote the formation of oxygen vacancies in zirconia, which enhances the metal–support interaction, finally promoting catalytic activity of FA dehydrogenation.
A facile and ultrafast synthesis of molybdenum carbide coated with few-layer carbon (MoC/C) has been developed, and the effect of reducing the thickness of the carbon coating on its catalytic activity in the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) has been demonstrated.
Noble-metal-free NiFe nanoparticles were successfully immobilized on nano CeZrO2 solid solutions by a simple impregnation–reduction method, exhibiting a high catalytic activity and 100% H2 selectivity for hydrogen generation from hydrazine solution.
Rh@UIO-66, prepared by using the double-solvent host–guest strategy and excess reduction methods, exhibited a higher catalytic activity in AB hydrolysis compared with Rh/UIO-66 because the ultrafine Rh nanoparticles were confined to UIO-66 channels. This confinement effect played a key role in enhancing the catalytic activity for AB hydrolysis.
Active sites are preserved in the citric acid-capped Au nanoclusters prepared in solid state. In water, the rapid dissolution of citric acid allows the reactants to easily access the active sites of infant Au nanoclusters leading to faster catalysis.
New gold standard: weakly capped infant Au nanoclusters with record high catalytic activity for 4-nitrophenol reduction and hydrogen generation from an ammonia borane–sodium borohydride mixture
