Single‐Step Conversion of Metal Impurities in CNTs to Electroactive Metallic Nitride Nanoclusters for Electrochemical CO2 Reduction

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A single‐step, low‐temperature co‐pyrolysis process removes encapsulated seed metal NPs (10–50 nm) from CNTs, redistributing them as surface‐anchored metal and metal–nitride NCs (1–1.5 nm). Herein, Ni3N NCs achieve an ultra‐low onset overpotential for CO2 reduction to CO with >98% Faradaic efficiency across 100–700 mA cm−2.

Achieving Chemical Recognition, Recycling, and Circularity With Radical Nanostructures

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Here, innovative 3D radical nanostructures based on 4,4′‐dicyano‐2,2′‐biphenylene‐fused tetrazolinyl radical, fabricated on interdigitated gold‐SiO2 hybrid surfaces are presented. They retain their magnetic properties, their morphology and size can can tune, selectively remove them from specific substrate regions using distilled water, and return the ...

Harnessing Interfacial Cl− Ions for Concurrent Formate Production at Industrial Level via CO2 Reduction and Methanol Oxidation

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The replacement of the anodic OER in CO2RR with energy‐saving methanol oxidation reaction and the creation of a favorable microenvironment through interfacial Cl− ions enable concurrent formate production at industrial‐level current densities. Abstract The efficient electrocatalytic conversion of CO2 to formate is often impeded by the high energy ...

Functionalized Lignin Derivatives as Melt‐Spinnable Precursors for Carbon Fiber Production without Stabilization

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
By turning off hydrogen bonds by bulky ethyl cinnamate ester derivatization, softwood kraft lignin can flow under elevated temperatures, providing tough fiber in the melt for high take‐up speed. Subsequently, lignin ethyl cinnamate derivatives are readily stabilized with only dilute nitric acid leading to direct carbonized fiber with outstanding ...
