AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
A novel and facile strategy is presented to synthesize highly dispersed Pt nanoparticles embedded in N-doped porous carbon (Pt@NPC) via carbonization of Zn-containing metal-organic frameworks and chemical replacement of Zn with Pt. The as-prepared Pt@NPC exhibits superior activity and durability towards hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) in comparison with commercial Pt/C catalyst. The excellent HER performance of Pt@NPC can be ascribed to the combined features of catalyst and support material, including high dispersion and ultrathin particle size of Pt, high surface area and nitrogen doping of carbon support, and the strong interaction between metal and support.

Acid-Enhanced Photoiniferter Polymerization under Visible Light.
Angew Chem Int Ed Engl

ETH Zurich, Materials, Vladimir-Prelog-Weg 1-5/10, 8093, Zürich, SWITZERLAND.
Photoiniferter (PI) is a promising polymerization methodology, often used to overcome restrictions posed by thermal reversible addition-fragmentation chain-transfer (RAFT) polymerization. However, in the overwhelming majority of reports, high energy UV irradiation is required to effectively trigger photolysis of RAFT agents and facilitate the polymerization, significantly limiting its potential, scope, and applicability. Although visible light PI has emerged as a highly attractive alternative, most current approaches are limited to the synthesis of lower molecular weight polymers, and typically suffer from prolonged reaction times, extended induction periods, and higher dispersities.

The reverse water gas shift (RWGS) reaction provides a convenient approach to convert CO2 to CO, which facilitates to achieve the goals of carbon peaking and carbon neutrality. Herein, the Cu/CeO2 catalyst prepared by a co-precipitation method using a mixture of Na2CO3 and NaOH at pH of 10 (sample Cu/CeO2-10) achieved an intrinsic reaction rate of 428.4 mmol•gcat-1•h-1 with 100% CO selectivity at 400 °C and CO2/H2 ratio of 1:4, which is much higher than Cu/CeO2 prepared by impregnation and other methods.

Introduction: Conventional pesticide formulations have been widely used to boost agricultural productivity, but their weak foliar adhesion and instability under UV light during spraying lead to low utilization rates and potential environmental and health hazards. To counter these challenges, the development of nanoformulations represents a pivotal strategy. These advanced formulations are designed to enhance the efficacy of active ingredients (AIs) and reduce ecological impacts, thereby addressing the need for sustainable agricultural development.

A highly sensitive aptamer sensor (aptasensor) is proposed based on metal-organic frameworks-silver nanoparticles (AgNPs@MOF) to detect sulfadimethoxine (SDM) by surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS). AgNPs@MOF with SERS activity was successfully fabricated by synthesizing AgNPs in situ on the surface of MIL-101(Fe), and SDM aptamer and Raman reporter 4-aminophenthiophenol (4-ATP) were selected as specific recognition elements and signal probes, respectively. When SDM was absent, the SDM aptamers were effectively adsorbed on the surface of AgNPs@MOF, thus keeping AgNPs@MOF in a dispersed state, resulting in a weakened SERS signal of 4-ATP.

Atomically dispersed transition metal (ADTM) catalysts are widely implemented in energy conversion reactions, while the similar properties of TMs make it difficult to continuously improve the activity of ADTMs via tuning the composition of metals. Introducing nonmetal sites into ADTMs may help to effectively modulate the electronic structure of metals and significantly improve the activity. However, it is difficult to achieve the co-existence of ADTMs with nonmetal atoms and clarify their synergistic effect on the catalytic mechanism.
