Oxygen activation plays a crucial role in many important chemical reactions such as oxidation of organic compounds and oxygen reduction. For developing highly active materials for oxygen activation, herein, we report an atomically dispersed Pt on WO nanoplates stabilized by in situ formed amorphous H WO out-layer and the mechanism for activating molecular oxygen. Experimental and theoretical studies demonstrate that the isolated Pt atoms coordinated with oxygen atoms from [WO ] and water of H WO , consequently leading to optimized surface electronic configuration and strong metal-support interaction (SMSI).

- Researchers are focusing on 0D/2D heterojunctions, particularly quantum dots and nanosheets, due to their ability to efficiently move photoexcited electrons and holes.
- The study presents innovative combinations of vanadate quantum dots with graphitic carbon nitride nanosheets, showcasing improved properties over conventional nanocomposites.
- This new approach is expected to enhance performance in applications like photocatalysis and other opto-electronic technologies, signaling a shift in how these nanocomposites are designed and utilized.
Large-scale uniform ZnO dumbbells and ZnO/ZnS hollow nanocages were successfully synthesized via a facile hydrothermal route combined with subsequent etching treatment. The nanocages were formed through preferential dissolution of the twinned (0001) plane of ZnO dumbbells. Due to their special morphology, the hollow nanocages show better sensing properties to ethanol than ZnO dumbbells.
