High‐Density‐Cluster Ru Catalyst Substitute for Pt/C Benchmark Improves Membrane Water Electrolysis

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Yuan et al. report a high‐density, monodispersed Ru cluster catalyst featuring interfacial covalent bonds that modulate the electronic structure and optimize intermediate adsorption–desorption, thereby conferring pH‐universal HER activity with ampere‐level current densities and enabling the development of Pt‐free membrane electrodes.

Origin of Petrified Wood Color

open access: yesGeosciences, 2016
Fossil forests have world-wide distribution, commonly preserving mineralized wood that displays vivid hues and complex color patterns. However, the origin of petrified color has received little scientific attention.

Black Silicon for Solar Fuels

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Black silicon couples broadband light harvesting with high‐surface‐area catalytic interfaces, offering a versatile photoelectrode platform for solar‐fuel production. Reaction‐specific analysis highlights trade‐offs involving recombination, chemical instability, catalyst‐induced optical shielding, competing reactions, and mass transport.

Kinneyia: a flow-induced anisotropic fossil pattern from ancient microbial mats

open access: yesFrontiers in Materials, 2016
Kinneyia is the commonly-used term to describe a class of trace fossil that is strongly associated with microbial mats. The appearance of Kinneyia (or wrinkle-structures) in the fossil record has recently led to a number of possible mechanisms being ...

Multiscale Regulation of Ru‐Based Catalysts for Upgrading Biomass‐Derived Levulinic Acid and Levulinates to γ‐Valerolactone: Mechanisms, Advances, and Challenges

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This review summarizes recent advances in the mechanistic, thermodynamic, and kinetic studies of biomass‐derived levulinic acid/levulinates conversion to γ‐valerolactone, along with the corresponding multiscale regulation strategies of Ru‐based catalysts.

The trace fossil Bifungites and its tracemaker: A rare find!

open access: yesEarth History and Biodiversity
The makers of fossil burrows are rarely found preserved within them; thus, the producers even of common trace fossils are often conjectural. This is particularly the case for trace fossils like Bifungites that have no known modern analogues.

Electrocatalytic Urea Synthesis From CO2 and N2/NO3−: Bridging Catalyst Activity, C–N Coupling Kinetics, and Industrial Applicability

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This review compares NO3− + CO2 and N2 + CO2 electrocatalytic urea synthesis in feedstock properties, catalyst design, C–N coupling mechanisms, performance optimization, and engineering applicability. The two systems correspond to a near‐term deployable route and a long‐term green synthesis goal, respectively.

Bridging Performance and Fate: A Framework for Sustainable, Composite‐Based Flexible Electronic Systems

open access: yesAdvanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.
Composite‐based flexible electronics integrate biodegradable polymers, conductive networks, and multilayer device architectures to balance electrical performance, mechanical durability, and controlled degradation. Interfacial engineering and encapsulation regulate transport stability and operational lifetime, while programmed disassembly enables ...

Beyond Formate Trapping: A Mechanistic Framework for Homogeneous CO2‐to‐Methanol Conversion With First‐Row Transition Metals

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
This review shows that converting CO2 into methanol with catalysts based on abundant first‐row metals requires more than overcoming formate formation. Success depends on balancing hydrogen activation, intermediate reactivity, product release, and catalyst stability.
