Do We Really Know Why Carbon Nanotubes Grow?
The CNT growth mechanism is still debated. We propose a heterogeneous (2D) classical nucleation framework comparing pathways for graphenic patches, caps, and full CNTs. Despite its simplicity, it rationalizes key trends, including the correlation between catalyst particle size and CNT diameter.

Emerging p‐Block Metal‐Based Electrocatalysts for Energy Conversion
P‐block metal‐based catalysts have emerged as efficient and sustainable alternatives to precious metal electrocatalysts for energy conversion. This review comprehensively surveys diverse p‐block metal‐based architectures—including anisotropic and homogeneous systems—and systematically elucidates their roles in key electrocatalytic reactions, such as ...

Subnanometric Platinum–Germanium Clusters for Efficient Propane Dehydrogenation Catalysis
Pt─Ge alloy clusters are regioselectively encapsulated within the sinusoidal channels of pure silica MFI zeolite (PtGe@MFI). The developed Pt─Ge alloy clusters exhibit exceptional performance with 36‐fold higher activity than the most stable catalyst ever reported and twice its stability, and with comparable activity to and 21‐fold higher stability ...

Bimetallic Bismuth‐Based Nanoparticles From Pseudo‐Tetrahedral Zintl Anions
Bismuth‐based Zintl anions are explored as precursors for synthesizing bimetallic nanoparticles with tunable compositions and morphologies, including alloyed, core–shell, and Janus types. The resulting nanoparticles display composition‐dependent UV absorption.
