Article Synopsis
  • LaCl[TeO] is a novel oxide chloride synthesized using high-temperature solid-state techniques, exhibiting a unique triclinic crystal structure with specific unit cell parameters.
  • The compound's structure features 2D layers of oxygen and chlorine, due to the preferential coordination of Te(IV), and shows distinctive coordination patterns for lanthanum with both oxygen and chlorine.
  • Experimental measurements reveal a band gap of 3.44 eV and demonstrate the compound's photoelectrocatalytic activity with n-type behavior, while Raman spectroscopy indicates the presence of complex tellurite ions.

In catalysts for CO hydrogenation, the interface between metal nanoparticles (NPs) and the support material is of high importance for the activity and reaction selectivity. In Pt NP-containing UiO Zr-metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), key intermediates in methanol formation are adsorbed at open Zr-sites at the Pt-MOF interface. In this study, we investigate the dynamic role of the Zr-node and the influence of HO on the CO hydrogenation reaction at 170 °C, through steady state and transient isotope exchange experiments, HO cofeed measurements, and density functional theory (DFT) calculations.
