Persistent Mn 3+ Sites on Reduced MnO Enable Efficient Syngas Conversion

ABSTRACT Mn‐based materials are widely used for syngas conversion, where MnO is generally regarded as the catalytically active phase under reducing conditions. Yet catalysts derived from different Mn oxide precursors often exhibit markedly different performances despite evolving...

Electric Double Layer Organization of Proton-Transfer Pathways Regulates Alkaline Hydrogen Evolution

Abstract Constructing bifunctional catalysts with synergistic interfaces is a promising strategy to overcome the sluggish kinetics of the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) in alkaline media, where interfacial proton transfer plays a critical role in the reaction kinetics. However...

Topology‐Dependent Iso ‐Propanol Dehydration Pathway Over Zeolites

ABSTRACT The zeolite‐catalyzed dehydration of low‐carbon alcohols is a crucial step in the conversion of biomass‐derived compounds. Compared to methanol and ethanol, the propanol dehydration mechanism remains poorly understood. The core challenge lies in the high reactivity and s...

Disentangling the effect of space and electric field on photoelectrochemical water splitting

Photoelectrochemical water splitting is a promising pathway for renewable solar fuel production. The photoelectrochemical performance strongly depends on the charge separation ability within the space charge layer. In space charge layer, the charge dynamics should be governed by...

Lignin valorization orbiting pharmacological molecules and materials

This Perspective summarizes the research strategies, current challenges and potential directions for converting native lignin polymers into pharmaceutical molecules and materials.

2D Halide Perovskite Single Crystals Constructed by Aromatic Diammonium for High Sensitivity and Low Detection Limit X‐Ray Detectors

ABSTRACT 2D perovskites exhibit remarkable features such as strong X‐ray absorption, high resistivity, and low ion migration, endowing them with high competitiveness in X‐ray detection. Although numerous 2D perovskites (RP, DJ, and ACI phases) have drawn substantial attention, th...

Solvent-AssistedDelamination of Boridene toward High-PerformanceMicro-Supercapacitors and Integrated Microsystems

Abstract Delaminating MoAlB-etched MoB into high-quality well-separated boridene nanosheets remains a formidable challenge. Current methods yield thick, restacked assemblies, severely limiting its potential for high-performance applications. Herein, we report solvent-assisted del...

Cr‐Leaching Induced Vacancy Engineering for High‐Performance Anion Exchange Membrane Water Electrolysis

ABSTRACT Anion exchange membrane water electrolysis (AEMWE) offers a compelling route to large‐scale green hydrogen production. However, developing catalysts that simultaneously combine high activity, long‐term durability, and stack‐level scalability remains a major challenge. He...
