Efficient methanol upcycling to ethylene glycol and glycolaldehyde via divergent C−C coupling synthesis

This study tailors atomically dispersed Ni species on SiO₂-supported CdS quantum dots to enable efficient photoredox-driven C − C coupling of methanol for divergent synthesis of high-value C₂ chemicals with concomitant H₂ production.

Microstructure and surface control of MXene films for water purification

Toxic heavy metal ions need to be removed from drinking water to protect public health. In this article, the authors demonstrated pressure-free removal of positively and negatively charged heavy metal ions from water using 2D MXene-based films.

Rationally designed transition metal hydroxide nanosheet arrays on graphene for artificial CO₂ reduction

The development of effective, earth-abundant cocatalysts is critical for photocatalytic CO₂ reduction. Here, authors report the assembly of transition metal hydroxides on graphene to act as cocatalyst ensembles for efficient CO₂ photoreduction.
