Atomically dispersed Pd-Mn dual-metal doped CeO₂ nanorods for efficient methane oxychlorination

The oxyhalogenation of methane to mono-halogenated products CH₃X (X = Cl, Br, or I) is among the most promising routes for methane utilization, yet current catalysts still suffer from limited product yields. Here, the authors report a CeO₂ nanorod catalyst with atomically dispersed Pd and Mn surface sites, which achieves highly efficient and selective methane oxychlorination.

Large spontaneous emission enhancement in plasmonic nanocavities

Researchers demonstrate spontaneous emission enhancements approaching 1,000 for emitters coupled to the gap between a metal wire and a metal substrate. The enhanced emission rate of plasmons in the structures is shown to yield a high internal quantum efficiency, despite the close proximity of lossy metal surfaces.

Decreasing resilience of China’s coupled nitrogen–phosphorus cycling network requires urgent action

While nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) cycles have been investigated separately, the links between them are key for sustainable food systems. Combining material flow and ecological network analysis, this study examines the resilience of China’s N–P-coupled cycling network over time under different scenarios.

Tracing fossil-based plastics, chemicals and fertilizers production in China

Plastics, chemical production, and fertilizers commonly rely on fossil fuels. Here the authors examine these uses in China and find that in 2017, 5%, 15%, and 7% of China’s total coal, crude oil, and natural gas were used as feedstocks in the chemical industry.
