Photo/electrocatalytic ammonia synthesis has recently developed fast while the yields over state-of-the-art photo/electrocatalysts are still very moderate. Such low concentration of synthesized NH3 brings about a challenge to reliable quantification product in photo/electrocatalysis. Notably, we found that quantitative detection below 0.2 ppm is error-prone, which likely case happening majority...

Phebe van Langevelde earned her BSc in molecular science and technology from Leiden University Delft of Technology (joint degree) 2017. She completed a master's degree chemistry with specialization energy sustainability at 2020, working on the development catalysts for oxygen reduction reaction, was visiting student Institute Chemical Research Catalonia (ICIQ). Since she is PhD candidate Cataly...

Nitrogen-doped carbons are among the fastest-growing class of materials used for oxygen electrocatalysis, namely, reduction reaction (ORR) and evolution (OER), thanks to their low cost, environmental friendliness, excellent electrical conductivity, scalable synthesis. The perspective replacing precious metal-based electrocatalysts with nitrogen-doped carbon is highly desirable reducing costs in...

Electrocatalysis is an interface-dominated process, in which the activity of catalyst highly relates to adsorption/desorption behaviors reactants/intermediates/products on active sites. From perspective design, chemical functionalization design noble metal surfaces will inevitably affect reaction considered be one effective strategies tune electrocatalytic performance nanocrystals. Polyamines (...
