Do Rh-Hydride Phases Contribute to the Catalytic Activity of Rh Catalysts under Reductive Conditions?

Rh-hydride phases were believed to be key causes of the exceptional catalytic ability of Rh catalysts under H reductive conditions. Here, we utilize the large-scale machine-learning-based global optimization to explore millions of Rh bulk, surface, and nanoparticle structures in contact with H, which rules out the presence of subsurface/interstitial H in Rh and Rh-hydride phases as thermodynamically stable phases under ambient conditions. Instead, an exceptional Rh-H affinity is identified for surface Rh atoms in Rh nanoparticles that can accommodate a high concentration of adsorbed H, with the surface Rh to H ratio reaching ∼2.

Electrochemical immunosensors have gained considerable attention in detecting human disease markers due to their excellent specificity, high sensitivity, and facile operation. Herein, a rational-designed sandwich-type electrochemical immunosensor is constructed for the sensitive detection of cardiac troponin I (cTnI) using nitrogen-doped carbon nanotubes loaded with gold nanoparticles (Au NPs/N-CNTs) as substrate and highly active mesoporous palladium-nitrogen nanocubes (meso-PdN NCs) as secondary antibody markers. Benefitting from its large specific surface area (638.

The controlled synthesis of hollow structure transition metal compounds has long been a very interesting and significant research topic in the energy storage and conversion fields. Herein, an ultrasound-assisted chemical etching strategy is proposed for fabricating concave Ni(OH) nanocubes. The morphology and composition evolution of the concave Ni(OH) nanocubes suggest a possible formation mechanism.
