High-Entropy Metal Interstitials Activate TiO for Robust Catalytic Oxidation.

Substitution metal doping strategies are crucial for developing catalysts capable of activating O, but the leaching of metal dopants has greatly hindered their potential for extensive oxidation reactions under mild conditions. Here, the study develops an entropy-increase strategy to synthesize high-entropy metal (Mg, Ca, Mn, Fe, and Co) interstitial functionalized anatase TiO (HE-TiO) nanosheets, demonstrating remarkable degradation efficiency across a wide pH range and exceptional stability in a flow-by electro-catalytic reactor. Relative to that of pristine TiO, the intense lattice distortion on the (001) plane, an average lattice expansion of 2% on the (100) plane, and decrease of second shell peak of X-ray absorption spectra serve as compelling evidence for the formation of metal interstitials in HE-TiO.

Chiral Au@Pt nanoparticles (NPs) with optically plasmonic and catalytic active surfaces were sustainably prepared to serve as label-free surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) platform to distinguish D- and L-enantiomers of alanine and tartaric acid. Surface morphologies were characterized by high-angle annular dark-field imaging-scanning transmission electron microscopy (HADDF-STEM) and selected area energy diffraction (SAED) patterns. The amounts of Pt on chiral Au NPs were estimated by the inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectrometer (ICP-OES) and X-ray diffraction (XRD).

Electrochemical water oxidation holds immense potential for sustainable energy generation, splitting water into clean-burning hydrogen and life-giving oxygen. However, a key roadblock lies in the sluggish nature of the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Finding stable, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly catalysts with high OER efficiency is crucial to unlock this technology's full potential.

Utilizing photocatalytic technology for the value-added conversion of biomass derivatives, alongside the production of clean hydrogen energy, represents a viable approach to addressing energy and environmental challenges. However, the design of cost-effective and efficient photocatalysts remains a significant obstacle. In this work, we employed open-framework Prussian blue analogs as co-catalytic centers and combined them with ZnInS to construct a series of core-shell nanocube photocatalysts with varying metal compositions.
