The increasing rate of water and air pollution dramatically impacts natural ecosystems human health causing depletion biodiversity, climate changes, spreading respiratory diseases, and, as a consequence, negatively impacting the world economy [...]

Details of the surface structure bimetallic catalysts, essential in heterogeneous and electro-catalysis, obtained by analysis EXAFS data under different atmospheres.

Transition metal phosphates (TMPs) have attracted interest as materials for (electro-) catalysis, and electrochemistry due to their low-cost, stability, tunability. In this work, an automated synthesis platform was used...

After short introducing the crucial role of e-fuels to meet net-zero emissions targets, this perspective paper discusses differences between reactive catalysis (electro-, photo- and plasma-catalysis, with focus on first for conciseness) thermal used at most. The main point is evidence that progress in producing e-fuels, gap not terms scaling-up pilot testing, but rather fundamental needs turn c...

The Cover Feature illustrates the concept of cooperative catalysis between supported metal single atoms and nanoparticles, which could be operative in various conventional catalysts is discussed by P. Serp his Review. Different types synergies can (co)exist, involving or not a communication these two species, are presented relative to their involvement thermal-, electro- photo-catalysis.

Two-dimensional (2D) transition-metal dichalcogenide (TMD) nanosheets have emerged as a fascinating new class of materials for catalysis. These nanosheets are active for several important catalysis reactions including hydrogen evolution from water. The rich chemistry of TMDs combined with numerous strategies that allow tuning of their electronic properties make these materials very attractive f...

We introduce a new and naturally abundant mild reducing agent, tannic acid, to improve the seed-mediated growth method for the synthesis of elongated tetrahexahedral Au nanocrystals enclosed with high-index (730) planes, at room-temperature. The control of the dimensions, plasmonics and electro-catalysis of such high-index faceted nanocrystals is remarkable.

Oxygen Reduction Reaction (ORR) performance of iron and nitrogen co-doped porous carbon nanoparticles (Fe-NPC) with various physical and (electro) chemical properties have been investigated. Fe-NPC nanoparticles are synthesized via a facile soft-templating procedure by using Iron (III) chloride hexa-hydrate as iron precursor and aminophenol-formaldehyde resin as both carbon and nitrogen precurs...
