Optimizing surface active sites via burying single atom into subsurface lattice for boosted methanol electrooxidation

Fine turning the local configuration of single atoms into substrate is challenging. Here, the authors report that burying single atoms into subsurface lattice of substrate can stimulate more surficial active sites and thus promote the overall catalytic performance in methanol electrooxidation.

Sustainable methane utilization technology via photocatalytic halogenation with alkali halides

A sustainable photocatalytic methane halogenation strategy is developed for methyl halide production using low-cost alkali halides over Cu-doped TiO2 nanostructures. Copper sites ultimately stabilize *CH3 to promote reaction with Cl− to form CH3Cl.

Intrinsic room-temperature ferromagnetism in a two-dimensional semiconducting metal-organic framework

Two-dimensional magnetic materials present a promising platform for spintronic devices; however, these are predominantly either insulting, or metallic. Here, Feng et al demonstrate a semiconducting two-dimensional metal-organic framework with intrinsic ferromagnetism.

High-performance photocatalytic nonoxidative conversion of methane to ethane and hydrogen by heteroatoms-engineered TiO₂

Photocatalytic nonoxidative coupling of methane (NOCM) emerges as an appealing approach for the production of value-added C2 + hydrocarbons and hydrogen. Here the authors propose a heteroatom engineering strategy to prepare Pd single atoms loaded TiO2 for active and selective photocatalytic NOCM.

Complementary Operando Spectroscopy identification of in-situ generated metastable charge-asymmetry Cu₂-CuN₃ clusters for CO₂ reduction to ethanol

Copper-based materials can convert carbon dioxide into multi-carbon products but suffer from poor activity and selectivity. Here, the authors report CuO clusters supported on nitrogen-doped carbon nanosheets for the reduction CO₂-to-ethanol, and investigate the change in the catalytic sites while in operation.

Oxygen vacancy associated single-electron transfer for photofixation of CO₂ to long-chain chemicals

The photofixation and utilization of CO₂ is considered to be a clean and green way to produce high-value-added commodity chemicals, but production of long chain chemicals through this process remains a challenge. Here, the authors develop a practical way for the photofixation of CO₂ to long-chain chemicals via defect engineering.
