Chemical looping synthesis of amines from N₂ via iron nitride as a mediator

Amines are typically synthesized by aminating organooxygenates with ammonia and noble metal catalysts. Here, the authors reveal the potential of using affordable 3d-transition metal nitrides with nitrogen gas (N₂) as the nitrogen source to produce organonitrogen compounds, offering a new pathway for amine synthesis.

Manipulating C-C coupling pathway in electrochemical CO₂ reduction for selective ethylene and ethanol production over single-atom alloy catalyst

Manipulating the carbon-carbon coupling pathway in CO₂ electroreduction is vital yet challenging. Here, by studying two model copper-based catalysts with distinct ethylene and ethanol selectivity, authors investigate the mechanistic origins for symmetric and asymmetric carbon-carbon coupling.

In-situ spectroscopic probe of the intrinsic structure feature of single-atom center in electrochemical CO/CO₂ reduction to methanol

Deciphering the reaction mechanisms of CO/CO2 electroreduction to methanol remains challenging. Here the authors report the higher electron density of single-Co-atom center, along with a different adsorption configuration of *CO, is crucial for promoting the CO electroreduction to methanol.

Atomic metal–non-metal catalytic pair drives efficient hydrogen oxidation catalysis in fuel cells

Fuel cells rely on costly and scarce platinum-group metals to catalyse both anodic and cathodic reactions. Here a catalyst consisting of atomically dispersed iridium and phosphorus on carbon is presented, where adjacent iridium and phosphorus sites work as integrative catalytic pairs to synergically boost the performance for the hydrogen oxidation reaction.

Atomically dispersed Ni(i) as the active site for electrochemical CO₂ reduction

Electrocatalysts with improved activity and stability for the conversion of CO₂ to CO are being sought. Using operando spectroscopies, the authors identify atomically dispersed Ni(i) as the active site in a nitrogenated-graphene-supported catalyst with high intrinsic activity and stability over 100 hours.

Tuning reactivity of Fischer–Tropsch synthesis by regulating TiO_x overlayer over Ru/TiO₂ nanocatalysts

The activity of Fischer–Tropsch synthesis (FTS) can be promoted by the reducible oxides, while their role remains elusive. Here, the authors reveal that, by varying the reduction condition to regulate the TiO_x overlayer on Ru nanocatalysts, the TiOx overlayer participate in the C–O bond dissociation.
