Tunable Syngas Formation at Industrially Relevant Current Densities via CO Electroreduction and Hydrogen Evolution over Ni and Fe-derived Catalysts obtained via One-Step Pyrolysis of Polybenzoxazine Based Composites.

Simultaneous electroreduction of CO and HO to syngas can provide a sustainable feed for established processes used to synthesize carbon-based chemicals. The synthesis of MO/M-N-Cs (M = Ni, Fe) electrocatalysts reported via one-step pyrolysis that shows increased performance during syngas electrosynthesis at high current densities with adaptable H/CO ratios, e.g.

Operando Scanning Electrochemical Probe Microscopy during Electrocatalysis.

Scanning electrochemical probe microscopy (SEPM) techniques can disclose the local electrochemical reactivity of interfaces in single-entity and sub-entity studies. Operando SEPM measurements consist of using a SEPM tip to investigate the performance of electrocatalysts, while the reactivity of the interface is simultaneously modulated. This powerful combination can correlate electrochemical activity with changes in surface properties, e.

Surface Functionalized MXenes for Wastewater Treatment-A Comprehensive Review.

Over 80% of wastewater worldwide is released into the environment without proper treatment. Whilst environmental pollution continues to intensify due to the increase in the number of polluting industries, conventional techniques employed to clean the environment are poorly effective and are expensive. MXenes are a new class of 2D materials that have received a lot of attention for an extensive range of applications due to their tuneable interlayer spacing and tailorable surface chemistry.
