  • Traditional water–gas shift reaction process is hindered by harsh reaction conditions and extra steps for hydrogen separation and purification. Here, the authors report a room temperature electrochemical water–gas shift process for direct production of high purity hydrogen with a faradaic efficiency of approximately 100%.

  • The lack of efficient, inexpensive catalysts hinders large-scale application of hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Here, the authors report a MoS2 nanofoam catalyst with co-confined Se in the surface and Co in the inner layer, exhibiting high large-current-density HER activity and durability.

  • Formation of biological filaments via intracellular supramolecular polymerization of proteins occurs under programmable and spatiotemporal control to maintain integrity. Here the authors devise a bioinspired isothermal chain-growth approach to programmably copolymerize DNA hairpin tiles into 1D nanofilaments.

  • Protein subunits on the capsids of icosahedral viruses can form patterns with rotational symmetry, which are difficult to recreate in the laboratory. Here the authors report a strategy to construct 3D chiral polyhedra with rotational faces from 2D chiral truxene-based units through dynamic covalent chemistry.

  • The hydrogen evolution reaction is a complicated process involving liquid-solid-gas three-phase interface behaviour. Here, the authors report the multiscale structural and electronic control of molybdenum disulfide foam and demonstrate its high activity and stability for hydrogen evolution.

  • The intrinsic properties of graphene and the resulting device performance are hindered by the impurities produced during the synthesis process. Here, the authors elucidate the origin of contaminations in CVD-grown graphene and devise a strategy towards the scalable production of ultra-clean graphene with >99% clean regions and low contact resistance.

  • The sergeants-and-soldiers effect, in which a few chiral units induce chirality in a large number of achiral molecules, is difficult to quantify at the molecular level. Here, the authors devise an elegant strategy—combining theory and a system of pure organic polyhedra with chiral and achiral vertices—to understand the mechanism of chiral amplification in discrete molecular assemblies.
