One-electron reduction of 3-Cp-3,1,2-closo-CoC2B9H11 followed by heating to reflux in DME (b.p. 85 °C) induces isomerisation to 4-Cp-4,1,2-closo-CoC2B9H11, a compound previously only synthesised at much higher temperatures (>380 °C). The 4,1,2-isomer has been thoroughly characterised both spectroscopically and crystallographically.

Herein, a ternary TiO/MIL-88A(Fe)/g-CN heterojunction is successfully constructed through a facile hydrothermal strategy for enhancing solar energy harvesting and efficiency of catalytic nitrogen reduction induced by enlarged light absorption range, increasing interfacial charge transfer ability and desirable stability. Under the simulated sunlight irradiation, the N fixation experiment shows that the yield of NH reaches 1084.31 μmol/(g·h) over the TiO/MIL-88A(Fe)/g-CN photocatalyst, and the yield is significantly enhanced, which is 33.

The main constraint on developing a full potential for CO adsorption of 3D composite monoliths made of reduced graphene oxide (rGO) and polymer materials is the lack of control of their textural properties, along with the diffusional limitation to the CO adsorption due to the pronounced polymers' microporosity. In this work, the textural properties of the composites were altered by employing highly crosslinked polymer particles, synthesized by emulsion polymerization in aqueous media. For that aim, waterborne methyl methacrylate (MMA) particles were prepared, in which the crosslinking was induced by using different quantities of divinyl benzene (DVB).

Manipulating the strain effect of Ag without any foreign metals to boost its intrinsic oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) activity is intriguing, but it remains a challenge. Herein, we developed a class of Ag-based electrocatalysts with tunable strain structures for efficient ORR via ligand-assisted competitive decomposition of Ag-organic complexes (AgOCs). Benefiting from the superior coordination capability, 4,4'-bipyridine as a ligand triggered a stronger competition with NaBH for Ag ions during reduction-induced decomposition of AgOCs in comparison with the counterparts of the pyrazine ligand and the NO anion, which moderately modulated the compressive strain structure to upshift the d-band center of the catalyst and increase the electron density of Ag.

A facile calcination method is developed for the in situ synthesis of nanohybrids of Ti self-doped TiO /graphene quantum dot nanosheets (Ti -TiO /GQD NSs). Ti sites are formed on the surface of the TiO nanosheets through carbothermal reduction by GQDs, using citric acid as a carbon source. Such heterojunctions exhibit enhanced visible-light absorption properties, large photocurrent current densities, and low recombination of photoinduced carriers.

Compared with a two dimensional graphene sheet, a three dimensional (3D) graphene sponge has a continuous conductive structure and numerous pores, which are beneficial for sulfur utilization and anchoring. However, strategies for the construction of 3D graphene sponges composited with sulfur nanoparticles (3DGS) are either energy consuming or involve toxic reagents. Herein, a 3DGS is fabricated via a reduction induced self-assembly method, which is simple but facile and scalable.
