AbstractThe electrochemical CO2 reduction reaction towards value-added fuel and feedstocks often relies on metal-based catalysts. Organic molecular catalysts, which are more acutely tunable than metal catalysts, are still unable to catalyse CO2 to hydrocarbons under industrially relevant current densities for long-term operation, and the catalytic mechanism is still elusive.

Designing the framework structure of noble-metal based nanoalloy catalysts driving redox electrocatalysis Noble metal-based nanoalloys (NAs) with different entropies have great potential in the field of energy and catalysis. However, the reported synthesis strategies are still very difficult to achieve the universal synthesis of small-sized alloys with controllable morphology.

AbstractRechargeable aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs), renowned for their safety, high energy density and rapid charging, are prime choices for grid-scale energy storage. Historically, ion-shuttling models centring on ion-migration behaviour have dominated explanations for charge/discharge processes in aqueous batteries, like classical ion insertion/extraction and pseudocapacitance mechanisms.

AbstractElectrochemical conversion of CO2 to formic acid using Bismuth catalysts is one the most promising pathways for industrialization. However, it is still difficult to achieve high formic acid production at wide voltage intervals and industrial current densities because the Bi catalysts are often poisoned by oxygenated species.
