چکیده
In this issue of Chem Catalysis , Jinchang Fan et al. demonstrate that Cu atoms confined in ultrathin 2D metallic Ru nanosheets (Ru 11 NSs) favor bi-coordinated adsorption O∗ species to reduce the activation energy barrier for a facile C–H bond cleavage C 1 oxygenates (CH 3 OOH and CH OH) with 99% selectivity.

Highly efficient and stable photocatalytic reduction of CO2 to CH4 over Ru loaded NaTaO3.
An efficient and stable photocatalytic activity was obtained over NaTaO3 by introducing an electron donor (H2) into the CO2 reduction process with water. Ru/NaTaO3 demonstrated the best activity (CH4 51.8 μmol h(-1) g(-1)) and product selectivity in converting CO2 to CH4.
متن کاملAtoms in boxes: from confined atoms to electron-atom scattering
We show that both confined atoms and electron-atom scattering can be described by a unified basis set method. The central idea behind this method is to place the atom inside a hard potential sphere, enforced by a standard Slater type basis set multiplied by a cutoff factor. For confined atoms, where the wall is placed close to the atomic nucleus, we show how the energy of the highest occupied a...
متن کاملEdge-carboxylated graphene nanosheets via ball milling.
Low-cost, high-yield production of graphene nanosheets (GNs) is essential for practical applications. We have achieved high yield of edge-selectively carboxylated graphite (ECG) by a simple ball milling of pristine graphite in the presence of dry ice. The resultant ECG is highly dispersable in various solvents to self-exfoliate into single- and few-layer (≤ 5 layers) GNs. These stable ECG (or G...
متن کاملEfficient Synthesis of Ethanol from CH4 and Syngas on a Cu-Co/TiO2 Catalyst Using a Stepwise Reactor
Ethanol synthesis from CH4 and syngas on a Cu-Co/TiO2 catalyst is studied using experiments, density functional theory (DFT) and microkinetic modelling. The experimental results indicate that the active sites of ethanol synthesis from CH4 and syngas are Cu and CoO, over which the ethanol selectivity is approximately 98.30% in a continuous stepwise reactor. DFT and microkinetic modelling results...
متن کاملInsight into CO activation over Cu(100) under electrochemical conditions
The reduction of CO2 on copper electrodes has attracted great attentions in the last decades, since it provides a sustainable approach for energy restore. During the CO2 reduction process, the electron transfer to COads is experimentally suggested to be the crucial step. In this work, we examine two possible pathways in CO activation, i.e. to generate COHads and CHOads, respectively, by perform...
