Ru Single Atom Dispersed Cu Nanoparticle with Dual Sites Enables Outstanding Photocatalytic CO Reduction.

Cu-based catalysts are promising candidates for CO reduction owing to the favorable energetics of Cu sites for CO adsorption and transformation. However, CO reduction involving insurmountable activation barriers and various byproducts remains a significant challenge to achieve high activity and selectivity. Herein, a photocatalyst constructed with single-Ru-site-on-Cu-nanoparticle on BiTiO exhibits exceptional activity and selectivity for CO conversion to CO.

Vapor/Vapor-Solid Interfacial Growth of Covalent Organic Framework Membranes on Alumina Hollow Fiber for Advanced Molecular Separation.

Covalent organic frameworks (COFs), known for their chemical stability and porous crystalline structure, hold promises as advanced separation membranes. However, fabricating high-quality COF membranes, particularly on industrial-preferred hollow fiber substrates, remains challenging. This study introduces a novel vapor/vapor-solid (V/V-S) method for growing ultrathin crystalline TpPa-1 COF membranes on the inner lumen surface of alumina hollow fibers (TpPa-1/Alumina).
