Defect‐Rich CoNi Prussian Blue Analogues Enable Highly Selective Electrochemical Hydrogen Peroxide Production

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Introducing [Co(CN)6]3− defects into CoNi Prussian Blue analogues exposes square‐planar Ni–N4 active sites, leading to remarkable H2O2 selectivity during the electrochemical oxygen reduction reaction in alkaline media. ABSTRACT Decentralized electrosynthesis of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) via the two‐electron oxygen reduction reaction (2e− ORR) offers a ...

Coupled Fe3O4‐Cluster Precipitates and Single Fe‐Atom Catalysts Can Boost Oxygen Reduction via Concomitantly Accelerated Water Dissociation

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Fe3O4 clusters can be precipitated onto Fe–N–C SACs through a residual‐oxygen‐assisted precipitation approach. Compelling evidence, including operando spectroscopy and ab initio calculations, suggests that Fe3O4‐cluster precipitates not only induce asymmetric electronic structures of Fe‐N4 active center to optimize the OH* adsorption, but also ...

Ketal Protection of Glycerol for Selective Electrosynthesis of Glyceric Acid in Highly Alkaline Media

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Using a ketal‐protected glycerol derivative (solketal) as the oxidation substrate enables site‐selective electrooxidation that suppresses C–C cleavage on non‐noble catalysts. Highly alkaline conditions promote reactive solketal alkoxide formation, weaken the Cα─H bond to facilitate dehydrogenation, and buffer local acidification, enabling a record‐high

Spatially Coupled Cl2 Confinement and Activation at Curved Ni Single‐Atom Sites for Highly Reversible Li–Cl2 Batteries

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
A robust cathode featuring curvature‐engineered Ni single‐atoms anchored within hierarchical pores effectively confines Cl2 and accelerates Cl0/Cl−1 redox kinetics. This synergistic architecture unlocks the potential of Li‐Cl2 secondary batteries with an unprecedented 1×106 mAh g−1 cumulative capacity, all‐climate resilience (–40°C to + 70°C), and 7.65

Strain Engineering via W–O–Ru Interfacial Coupling to Suppress Lattice Oxygen Activation for Stable Acidic Water Electrolysis

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Constructing atomically coupled W–O–Ru interfacial units on RuO2 triggers a dynamic strain evolution during the oxygen evolution reaction. An initial tensile strain secures structural stability, while a self‐adjusting transition to interfacial compression optimizes catalytic activity.

Decouple H2O2 Electrosynthesis From Microenvironmental Decomposition via Atomic Site Density Engineering

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Using defect‐rich Co‐N2O2 single‐atom catalysts as a model system, this work reveals that atomic site density governs the competition between H2O2 electrosynthesis and microenvironmental decomposition during 2e−‐ORR. Optimised site isolation suppresses HPRR and HDR, thereby establishing a site‐density principle to balance H2O2 formation and ...

Electrochemically Induced Structural Evolution to Generate Optimized High‐Entropy‐Alloy Electrocatalysts for Ethanol Oxidation

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Electrochemical cycling drives spontaneous facet optimization in high‐entropy Pd@PdPtIrRuRh core‐shell nanocrystals, reshaping simple cubes into severely beveled architectures with balanced {100}/{110}/{111} facets. This dynamic restructuring yields active electrocatalysts that favor complete ethanol oxidation via the C1 pathway, suppress strongly ...

Bond Length as a Unified Descriptor for Stable Iodine Battery

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Charge transfer induced by the interactions between iodine and ligands leads to the elongation of the I–I bond. This resulting bond length correlates directly with coordination strength, serving as a unified descriptor for the rational design of both cathode hosts and electrolyte components.
