Multifunctional Matrix‐Activated Electrodes Enabling Efficient Proton Transport and Durable Low‐Pt Operation for High‐Temperature Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells

open access: yesAdvanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.
This work introduces a CeHP‐enabled multifunctional matrix‐activated electrode (MME) for high‐temperature PEM fuel cells, forming an electrochemically and mechanically functional matrix within the catalyst layer. The design increases peak power density by 38% and reduces voltage decay by 62% at 240 °C, while using only 40% of the Pt loading of a ...

Elucidating Photo‐Kinetic Control in Photothermal Reverse Water‐Gas Shift Reaction

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Light directly regulates the rate‐determining step (RDS) in photothermal catalysis. In a Mars–van Krevelen (MvK)‐type reverse water‐gas shift (RWGS) reaction over In‐doped MoO2, light shifts the RDS from the H2‐related reduction half‐reaction to the CO2‐related oxidation half‐reaction, enhancing catalytic activity and lowering the apparent activation ...

Surface‐Functionalized MXene for Enhanced Photocatalytic CO2 Reduction

open access: yesAdvanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.
Poly(catechol/p‐cresol)‐functionalized MXene (f‐MXene) enhances oxidation stability while preserving conductivity, enabling efficient interfacial electron transfer in a Cu/f‐MXene/reduced TiO2 photocatalyst. Strong Cu–f‐MXene synergy promotes CO2 activation and selective CH4 production, achieving a CH4 yield of 18.1 µmol g−1 (>200 × vs.

Engineering Atomically Precise Cu4I4 Nanoclusters With Integrated Adsorption and Hydrogenation Functions for Efficient Photocatalytic Nitrate‐to‐Ammonia Conversion

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Efficient photocatalytic nitrate‐to‐ammonia conversion is achieved over an atomically precise Cu4I4 motif through dual‐site cooperation. Lewis‐acidic Cu centers promote nitrate adsorption and activation, while adjacent I sites facilitate active hydrogen generation for stepwise hydrogenation.

Anion Engineering of Surface Frustrated Lewis Pairs for Light‐Assisted CO2 Hydrogenation to Methanol

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Anion engineering through nitrogen incorporation regulates the local coordination environment and promotes the formation of defect‐associated Ga–O/N frustrated Lewis pairs in non‐stoichiometric zinc gallium oxide. The engineered surface sites facilitate heterolytic H2 splitting, while the modified electronic structure enhances light utilization ...

Polypyridyl Coordination Motifs as Precursors for Ordered Carbonaceous Frameworks Toward High‐Density Ru Single‐Atom Catalysts

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Here, we introduce a molecular design principle that fundamentally expands the bottom‐up synthesis of single‐atom catalysts (SACs). Coordinatively flexible polypyridyl units enable bottom‐up formation of ordered carbonaceous frameworks containing atomically dispersed Ru (∼11 wt%) by simple carbonization.

Role of Graphene Oxide in the Nucleation and Growth of Gold Nanoparticles Revealed by Operando Time‐Resolved Studies

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Graphene oxide accelerates AuCl4− reduction under irradiation and directs edge‐selective nucleation and quasi‐one‐dimensional organization of gold nanoparticles at oxygen‐rich boundaries. Operando SAXS and UV–vis spectroscopy, supported by pulse radiolysis and DFT, reveal how progressive conversion of GO to rGO removes interfacial constraints, shifting
