Article Abstract

A dual-element modification strategy was proposed to promote the catalytic performance of the α-FeO catalyst for the selective catalytic reduction of NO by NH (NH-SCR of NO) at both low and high temperatures. By optimizing the loading amount of CuO (4 wt %) and WO (5 wt %), a wide operating temperature window (150-350 °C) was achieved on the modified α-FeO catalyst (W/Cu/Fe). Further characterizations revealed that the enhanced low-temperature activity could be attributed to the improved redox performance of α-FeO through CuO modification, while the superior high-temperature activity was primarily ascribed to the enhanced surface acidity induced by WO modification. The synergistic effect of CuO and WO modifications facilitated the NH-SCR reaction on the modified α-FeO catalysts to efficiently proceed through the Eley-Rideal (E-R) mechanism pathway. This provided compelling evidence that the catalytic performance of NH-SCR catalysts at different temperatures was dominantly governed by distinct factors (e.g., redox property and surface acidity), offering valuable insights for the rational design of robust catalysts for NO abatement.

Currently, electrocatalytic conversion of carbon dioxide into higher-value compounds is a promising approach. However, developing a stable and efficient catalyst with high selectivity for specific products remains a major challenge. Herein, we constructed a bismuth-based metal-organic framework (Bi-MOF) as a catalyst for the catalytic production of formic acid from carbon dioxide, to which different ratios of tin metal elements were doped.

Nanozymes are nanomaterials designed to mimic the catalytic functions of natural enzymes, offering advantages such as enhanced stability, tunability, and scalability. Although precise control over the spatial arrangement of catalytic centers is essential for maximizing nanozyme activity, it remains a fundamental challenge in nanozyme design. Here, we present a supramolecular strategy to achieve molecular-level engineering of catalytic centers by grafting hemin onto monodisperse cellulose oligomers (MCOs).

MXenes represent exceptionally promising electrocatalytic materials for ammonia synthesis, owing to their outstanding electrical conductivity, modifiable surface functional groups, exceptional hydrophilicity, high specific surface area, and electronegative surface characteristics. In this investigation, we systematically demonstrate that the persistent challenge of Cu and Co nanoparticle agglomeration can be effectively addressed through the in-situ growth of bimetallic CuCo nanoparticles on TiCTMXene nanosheets. This innovative approach significantly enlarges the electrochemically active surface area, maximizes the exposure of catalytically active sites, and optimizes mass transport properties, consequently leading to substantially enhanced electrocatalytic performance for ammonia synthesis.
