Coordination Engineering of Cobalt Single-Atom Catalysts for Periodate Activation with Regulated Reactive-Species Production toward Emerging Contaminants Degradation

Abstract Fenton-like reaction of heterogeneous periodate (PI) activation exhibits high efficiency for emerging contaminants degradation due to the production of iodine-centered radicals, and single-atom metal catalysts demonstrate high activity. However, precisely controlling the...

AgEuPS4: Unlocking the CentrosymmetricShackle of Rare-Earth Thiophosphates via Microscopic Distortion Cascadingfor Enhanced Second-Harmonic Generation Response

Abstract Breaking the rigid centrosymmetric (CS) shackles of rare-earth thiophosphates remains a significant challenge for designing high-performance mid-to-far-infrared (MFIR) nonlinear optical (NLO) materials. Herein, using the CS LiEuPS4 (I41/acd) as the structural template, a...

Steering Structural Reconstruction in CO2 Electroreduction Catalysts

Abstract Structural reconstruction of electrocatalysts during the CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) is a critical yet complex dynamic process that profoundly influences catalytic performance. It governs the creation, transformation, and degradation of active sites, thereby presentin...
