Article Abstract
The catalyst is the pivotal component in CO electroreduction systems for converting CO into valuable products. Carbon-based single-atom materials (CSAMs) have emerged as promising catalyst candidates due to their low cost and high atomic utilization efficiency. The rational design of the morphology and microstructure of such materials is desirable but poses a challenge. Here, we employed different Mg(OH) templates to guide the fabrication of two kinds of amorphous nitrogen-doped carbon nanosheet-supported Fe single atoms (FeSNC) with rough and flat surface structures. In comparison to flat FeSNC with saturated FeN sites, the rough FeSNC (R-FeSNC) exhibited unsaturated FeN sites and contracted Fe-N bond length. The featured structure endowed R-FeSNC with superior capacity of catalyzing CO reduction reaction, achieving an exceptional CO selectivity with Faradaic efficiency of 93% at a potential of -0.66 V vs. RHE. This study offers valuable insights into the design of CSAMs and provides a perspective for gaining a deeper understanding of their activity origins.

Carbon dots (CDs) represent a new class of nontoxic and sustainable nanomaterials with increasing applications. Among them, bright and large Stokes-shift CDs are highly desirable for display and imaging, yet the emission mechanisms remain unclear. We obtained structural signatures for the recently engineered green and red CDs by ground-state femtosecond stimulated Raman spectroscopy (FSRS), then synthesized orange CDs with similar size but much higher nitrogen dopants than red CDs.

The oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in conventional zinc-air batteries (ZABs) involves a complex multielectron transfer process, leading to slow reaction kinetics, high charging voltage, and low energy efficiency. To address these limitations, a zinc-ethanol/air battery (ZEAB) system that strategically replaces the OER with the ethanol oxidation reaction (EOR) possessing a lower thermodynamic potential has been proposed. Herein, a bimetallic catalyst CuCo-embedded nitrogen-doped carbon (CuCo-20%-1), derived from a Cu/Co/Cd co-coordinated metal-organic precursor, is synthesized and exhibits an excellent performance for both EOR and ORR.

In this study, a MoC-MoO@NCrGO-900 composite catalyst comprising two-dimensional nitrogen-doped reduced graphene oxide (NCrGO) and ultrasmall molybdenum carbide-molybdenum dioxide (MoC-MoO) heterojunctions was synthesized. The optimized catalyst exhibited an outstanding oxidative desulfurization (ODS) performance. Specifically, a model oil containing 4000 ppm sulfur was completely desulfurized within 30 min, with a desulfurization efficiency of 98.

The antibiotic contamination in aquatic environments, particularly in aquaculture systems, poses substantial risks to ecological balance and human health. To address this issue, we engineered a novel ratiometric fluorescent probe utilizing dual-emission carbon dots (D-CDs) synthesized from sustainable biomass carrot and nitrogen-rich precursors (melamine and o-phenylenediamine) through an efficient one-pot hydrothermal approach. The D-CDs exhibited dual emission peaks at 425nm and 540 nm under 370nm excitation.
