Currently, selective catalytic reduction of NO with NH in the presence of SO is still challenging at low temperatures (<300 °C). In this study, enhanced NO reduction was achieved over a SO-tolerant Fe-based monolith catalyst, which was originally developed through in situ construction of AlO nanoarrays (na-AlO) on the monolithic Al-mesh by a steam oxidation method followed by anchoring FeO and CeO onto the na-AlO@Al-mesh composite by an impregnation method. The optimum catalyst delivered more than 90% NO conversion and N selectivity above 98% within 250-430 °C as well as excellent SO tolerance at 270 °C. The strong interaction between FeO and CeO enabled favorable electron transfers from FeO to CeO while generating more oxygen vacancies and active oxygen species, consequently accelerating the redox cycle. The improved reactivity of NH with nitrates following the Langmuir-Hinshelwood mechanism and active NH species that directly reacted with gaseous NO following the Eley-Rideal mechanism enhanced the NO reduction efficiency at low temperatures. The preferential sulfation of CeO alleviated the sulfation of FeO while maintaining the high reactivities of NH and NH species. Especially, the SCR reaction following the Eley-Rideal mechanism largely improved the SO tolerance because NO does not need to compete with sulfates to adsorb on the catalyst surface as nitrates or nitrites. This work paves a way for the development of high-performance SO-tolerant SCR monolith catalysts.

The involvement of neurons in the peripheral nervous system is crucial for bone regeneration. Mimicking extracellular matrix cues provides a more direct and effective strategy to regulate neuronal activity and enhance bone regeneration. However, the simultaneous coupling of the intrinsic mechanical-electrical microenvironment of implants to regulate innervated bone regeneration has been largely neglected.

The aim of this paper is to overview the meeting on New horizons in nanoelectrochemistry held at Nanjing University in China in October 2024 and to give some perspective to the work presented. This paper is based on my summary talk and breaks down the subjects in the following areas of nanoelectrochemistry presented at the meeting: nanowires, nanonets, and nanoarrays; nanopores; nanopipettes; spectroelectrochemistry, scanning ion-conductance microscopy and light-active processes at nanointerfaces; scanning electrochemical microscopy and scanning electrochemical cell microscopy; and nanosensors. I end with some discussion of online meetings and where the field might go including artificial intelligence and by asking AI to define the challenges and future of nanoelectrochemistry.

Defect engineering is considered one of the most powerful strategies for regulating the catalytic activity of electrocatalysts. A deep understanding of the defect-involved mechanism in electrocatalytic process is of great importance but remains a challenging task. In this study, an anionic Se-vacancy (V) was introduced into iron diselenide (FeSe) nanoarrays, enabling the catalyst to exhibit improved electrocatalytic performance for sulfion oxidation reaction (SOR).

Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) represents a compelling detection methodology centered on the electromagnetic fields, commonly termed "hot spots", generated around noble nanoparticles. Nonetheless, the efficacy of electromagnetic field (EMF) amplification is constrained when utilizing individual nanoparticles. There has been a notable lack of experimental and theoretically simulated studies regarding the increase of the electromagnetic field when gold nanorods with different aspect ratios undergo self-assembly in either perpendicular or parallel orientations to substrates.
