Selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of NO over VO-based oxide catalysts has been widely used, but it is still a challenge to efficiently reduce NO at low temperatures under SO and HO co-existence. Herein, SO- and HO-tolerant catalytic reduction of NO at a low temperature has been originally demonstrated via engineering polymeric VO species by CeO. The polymeric VO species were tactfully engineered on Ce-VO composite active sites via the surface occupation effect of Ce, and the obtained catalysts exhibited remarkable low-temperature activity and strong SO and HO tolerance at 250 °C. The strong interaction between Ce and V species induced the electron transfer from V to Ce and tuned the SCR reaction via the E-R pathway between the NH/NH species and gaseous NO. In the presence of SO and HO, the polymeric VO species had not been hardly influenced, while the formation of sulfate species on Ce sites not only promoted the adsorption of NH species and the reaction between gaseous NO and NH but also facilitated the decomposition of ammonium bisulfate through weakening the strong bond between HSO and NH. This work provided a new strategy for SO- and HO-tolerant catalytic reduction of NO at a low temperature.

Catalytic hydrocupration of unsaturated carbon-carbon bonds to generate organometallic nucleophiles has recently become an attractive alternative to conventional stoichiometric reagents in the stereoselective synthesis. Herein, we have developed an efficient and economical method to synthesize enantiopure α-hydroxy allyl ketones via a copper hydride (CuH)-catalyzed hydroacylation of alkoxyallenes, a significant advancement given the scarcity of reports on such scaffolds in the literature. DFT calculations reveal that this reaction proceeds through the nucleophilic attack of a kinetically favourable Z-selective allyl-copper intermediate on acid anhydrides via a six-membered chair-like transition state, stabilized by strongly attractive non-covalent interactions that ultimately leads to high level of enantioselectivities using the simple BINAP ligand.

This study employs first-principles methods to investigate the ORR catalytic activity of As-doped and AsN co-doped graphene. As atoms, as catalytic active sites, exhibit excellent catalytic activity. Due to the strong interaction between As and N, the stability of the As-N co-doped substrate is enhanced.

MXene, a two-dimensional nanomaterial, has metal conductivity, high electronegativity, functionalized with surface groups, which makes them has wide applications in catalysis and biosensing. However, studies on the principle of enhanced electro-chemiluminescence (ECL) by MXene composites and the improvement of their performance in catalyzing the ECL reaction are still in their infancy. In this study, gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) are obtained by mild reductive reduction and loaded in situ on the Ti3C2Tx MXene surface to form the composites (AuNPs@MXene).

Photocatalytic reduction of carbon dioxide (CO2), so-called artificial photosynthesis, has been regarded as the future technology with high potential to sustainably address global warming. However, the efficiency and stability of the catalysts used in this frontier technology are substantially lower than the requirement for practical application, especially for gas-phase reactions. In this work, the composites of iron single-atom catalysts (Fe-SACs) supported on N/O-doped carbon and graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) were fabricated to promote the gas-solid phase photocatalytic CO2 reduction under the simulated sunlight.

The utilization of 2D materials as catalysts has garnered significant attention in recent years, primarily due to their exceptional features including high surface area, abundant exposed active sites, and tunable physicochemical properties. The unique geometry of 2D materials imparts them with versatile active sites for catalysis, including basal plane, interlayer, defect, and edge sites. Among these, edge sites hold particular significance as they not only enable the activation of inert 2D catalysts but also serve as platforms for engineering active sites to achieve enhanced catalytic performance.
