Article Abstract
Ag-based nanocrystals have emerged as an important candidate for CO reduction reaction (CO RR) owing to the increasing amount of CO in the atmosphere, which has shown a propensity to alleviate environmental problems and produce high value-added chemicals. This paper reviews the surface and interface engineering of Ag-based catalysts towards CO RR, which involve in the morphology control, composition manipulation, and support effects. Various synthesis approaches are presented to discuss their influence on the size, crystal structure and morphology of Ag-based catalysts, including pure Ag NPs, Ag-based alloys, Ag/metal oxides composites as well as Ag/carbon materials. Next, the development of Ag-based surface and interface engineering that is essential to accelerate the formation of CO and its further conversion to C1 or even multicarbon products is systematically discussed. Finally, we give a short conclusion, and perspectives on the rational design of Ag-based catalysts based on surface and interface engineering will be discussed.

Metal nanoparticle (NP) catalysts exhibit desirable activities in various catalytic reactions. However, the sintering of metal NPs at high-temperatures even in reducing atmospheres limits its practical application. In this work, we successfully synthesized TPA-ZSM-5 with pit-type defects by treating the ZSM-5 with tetrahydroxy ammonium hydroxide (TPAOH), which was then used as a support to prepare Ag-based and Cu-based catalysts.

Here, a template-engaged galvanic replacement strategy is developed to construct hollow PdAg alloy nanotubes, where interfacial oxygen drives surface reconstruction and stabilizes quasi-single Pd active sites. The interplay of atomic-scale characterizations and theoretical calculations reveals that the oxygen-induced atomic rearrangement downshifts the Pd d-band center, optimizes the adsorption-desorption energetics of ORR intermediates, and lowers the energy barrier for OH desorption. The optimized Pd@Ag catalyst achieves an onset potential of 0.

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are widely used as supports for immobilizing molecular electrocatalysts, such as for CO reduction (COR), with π-π interactions often assumed to govern the catalyst immobilization. However, the nature of catalyst/CNTs interactions remains insufficiently understood. Here, nickel phthalocyanine (NiPc) is investigated, a benchmark COR catalyst, supported on CNTs.

Nanoclusters designed with atomic precision are poised to transform next-generation electrode materials for energy devices due to their exceptional performance. However, traditional computational studies often focus solely on individual nanoclusters, neglecting the impact of structurally diverse, low-energy isomers that coexist in a sample. Herein, we present a data-driven approach to screen late-transition metal-based core-shell nanoclusters for bifunctional electrocatalysis.

Renewable-electricity-driven direct oxidation of propylene (CH) presents a sustainable route for propylene glycol (PG) production. Silver (Ag) shows a 30-fold lower price compared to other active noble metals (platinum and palladium) but suffers from low activity. Here, we report a ligand-tuning strategy in Ag-based molecular catalysts for efficient direct CH-to-PG conversion.
