Fe-N-C catalysts, with a planar D4h symmetric FeN4 structure, show promising as noble metal-free oxygen reduction reaction catalysts. Nonetheless, the highly symmetric structure restricts the effective manipulation of its geometric and electronic structures, impeding further enhancements in oxygen reduction reaction performance. Here, a high proportion of asymmetric edge-carbon was successfully introduced into Fe-N-C catalysts through morphology engineering, enabling the precise modulation of the FeN4 active site.

Toxic acetone gas emissions and leakage are a potential threat to the environment and human health. Gas sensors founded on metal oxide semiconductors (MOS) have become an effective strategy for toxic gas detection with their mature process. In the present work, an efficient acetone gas sensor based on Au-modified ZnO porous nanofoam (Au/ZnO) is synthesized by polyvinylpyrrolidone-blowing followed by a calcination method.

As a sustainable alternative technology to the cost- and energy-intensive Haber-Bosch method, electrochemical nitrogen (N) reduction offers direct conversion of N to NH under ambient conditions. Direct use of noble metals or non-noble metals as electrocatalytic materials results in unsatisfactory electrocatalytic properties because of their low electrical conductivity and stability. Herein, three-dimensional flexible carbon nanofiber (CNF/TiO@CoS) nanostructures were prepared on the surface of CNF by using electrospinning, a hydrothermal method, and in situ growth.
