SMALL (WEINHEIM AN DER BERGSTRASSE, GERMANY) 2024; 20:e2307862.

Abstract
Electrocatalytic transformation of CO2 to various syngas compositions is an exceedingly attractive approach to carbon-neutral recycling. Meanwhile, the achievement of selectivity, stability, and tunability of product ratios using single-component electrocatalysts is challenging. Herein, the theoretically-assisted design of the triple-component nanocomposite electrocatalyst Cu10Sn3-Cu-SnOx that addresses this challenge is presented. It is shown that Cu10Sn3 is a valuable electrocatalyst for suitable CO2 reduction to CO, SnO2 for CO2 reduction to formate at large overpotentials, and that the Cu-SnO2 interface facilitates H2 evolution. Accordingly, the interaction between the three functional components affords tunable CO/H2 ratios, from 1:2 to 2:1, of the produced syngas by controlling the applied potentials and relative contents of functional components. The syngas generation is selective (Faradaic efficiency, FE = 100%) at relatively lower cathodic potentials, whereas formate is the only liquid product detected at relatively higher cathodic potentials. The theoretically guided design approach therefore provides a new opportunity to boost the selectivity and stability of CO2 reduction to tunable syngas.

Abstract
Uncovering how hydrogen transfers and what factors control hydrogen conductivity on solid surface is essential for enhancing catalytic performance of H-involving reactions, which is however hampered due to the structural complexity of powder catalysts, in particular, for oxide catalysts. Here, we construct stripe-like MnO(001) and grid-like Mn3O4(001) monolayers on Pt(111) substrate and investigate hydrogen spillover atop. Atomic-scale visualization demonstrates that hydrogen species from Pt diffuse unidirectionally along the stripes on MnO(001), whereas it exhibits an isotropic pathway on Mn3O4(001). Dynamic surface imaging in H2 atmosphere reveals that hydrogen diffuses 4 times more rapidly on MnO than the case on Mn3O4, which is promoted by one-dimension surface-lattice-confinement effect. Theoretical calculations indicate that a uniform and medium O-O distance favors hydrogen diffusion while low-coordinate surface O atom inhibits it. Our work illustrates the surface-lattice-confinement effect of oxide catalysts on hydrogen spillover and provides a promising route to improve the hydrogen spillover efficiency.

Abstract
AbstractConsiderable attention has been drawn to tune the geometric and electronic structure of interfacial catalysts via modulating strong metal-support interactions (SMSI). Herein, we report the construction of a series of TiO2−x/Ni catalysts, where disordered TiO2−x overlayers immobilized onto the surface of Ni nanoparticles (~20 nm) are successfully engineered with SMSI effect. The optimal TiO2−x/Ni catalyst shows a CO conversion of ~19.8% in Fischer–Tropsch synthesis (FTS) process under atmospheric pressure at 220 °C. More importantly, ~64.6% of the product is C2+ paraffins, which is in sharp contrast to the result of the conventional Ni catalyst with the main product being methane. A combination study of advanced electron microscopy, multiple in-situ spectroscopic characterizations, and density functional theory calculations indicates the presence of Niδ−/TiO2−x interfacial sites, which could bind carbon atom strongly, inhibit methane formation and facilitate the C-C chain propagation, lead to the production of C2+ hydrocarbon on Ni surface.

Abstract
Accelerating slow water dissociation kinetics is key to boosting the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) in alkaline media. We report the synthesis of atomically dispersed MoOx species anchored on Rh metallene using a one-pot solvothermal method. The resulting structures expose the oxide-metal interfaces to the maximum extent. This leads to a MoOx -Rh catalyst with ultrahigh alkaline HER activity. We obtained a mass activity of 2.32 A mgRh -1 at an overpotential of 50 mV, which is 11.8 times higher than that of commercial Pt/C and surpasses the previously reported Rh-based electrocatalysts. First-principles calculations demonstrate that the interface between MoOx and Rh is the active center for alkaline HER. The MoOx sites preferentially adsorb and dissociate water molecules, and adjacent Rh sites adsorb the generated atomic hydrogen for efficient H2 evolution. Our findings illustrate the potential of atomic interface engineering strategies in electrocatalysis.

Abstract
The localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) of noble metals has been investigated for decades for applications in various catalysis reactions and optical research studies, but its development has been hampered by inefficient light absorption and high costs. In comparison, the creation of less expensive semiconductors (metal oxides) with strong plasmonic absorption is an appealing option, particularly defective molybdenum oxide (HxMoO3-y) has received considerable attention and investigation as a promising plasmonic material for a variety of catalytic reactions (photocatalysis, thermocatalysis, photothermal catalysis, etc.).The LSPR effect of HxMoO3-y can be tuned throughout a broad spectrum range from visible to near-infrared (NIR) by altering the doping amount by electrochemical control, chemical reduction, or photochemical control. Notably, defects (oxygen vacancies) in HxMoO3-y arise in conjunction with the LSPR effect, resulting in the formation of unique and useful active sites in a range of catalytic processes. In this review, we explore the formation mechanism of HxMoO3-y with plasmonic features and discuss its applications in photocatalysis, thermocatalysis, and photothermal catalysis.

Abstract
Single-atom catalysts (SACs) have emerged as a new frontier in areas such as electrocatalysis, photocatalysis, and enzymatic catalysis. Aided by recent advances in the synthetic methodologies of nanomaterials, atomic characterization technologies, and theoretical calculation modeling, various SACs have been prepared for a variety of catalytic reactions. To meet the requirements of SACs with distinctive performance and appreciable selectivity, much research has been carried out to adjust the coordination configuration and electronic properties of SACs. This concept summarizes the latest advances in the experimental and computational efforts aimed at tuning the axial coordination of SACs. Series of atoms, functional groups or even macrocycles are oriented into the atomic metal center, and how this affects the electrocatalytic performance is also reviewed. Finally, this concept presents perspectives for the further precise design, preparation and in-situ detection of axially coordinated SACs.

Abstract
The electrocatalytic oxygen evolution reaction from H2O (OER) is essential in a number of areas like electrocatalytic hydrogen production from H2O. A Ni oxyhydroxide nanosheet (NiNS) is among the most widely studied OER catalysts but still suffers from low activity, sluggish kinetics, and poor stability. Herein, we incorporate MoO3 patches into NiNS to form a nanosheet with an intimate Ni-Mo interface (NiMoNS) for the OER. The overpotential at 10 mA cm-2 and Tafel slope on NiMoNS (260 mV, 54.7 mV dec-1) are lower than those on NiNS (296 mV, 89.3 mV dec-1), implying that higher activity and faster kinetics are achieved on NiMoNS. There is no change in electrocatalytic efficiency of NiMoNS after 18 h of OER, but the electrocatalytic efficiency of NiNS decreases by 56% after only 8 h of OER. Thus, NiMoNS has better stability. The intimate Ni-Mo interface promotes two-dimensional lateral growth of NiMoNS to form a surface area 1.5 times larger than that of NiNS, and facilitates electron transfer from Ni to Mo. This makes the Ni3+/Ni2+ ratio on the NiMoNS surface (1.32) higher than that on the NiNS surface (0.68). Moreover, the Ni3+/Ni2+ ratio on NiMoNS surface increases to 1.81 after 18 h of OER but the Ni3+/Ni2+ ratio on the NiNS surface decreases to 0.51 after 8 h of OER. Therefore, the NiMoNS surface has more abundant and stable Ni3+ sites which are catalytically active toward OER. This could be the reason for the enhanced activity, kinetics, and stability of NiMoNS. The results are very valuable for fabricating more efficient catalysts for electrocatalysis.

Abstract
Supported nanoparticles are commonly applied in heterogeneous catalysis. The catalytic performance of these solid catalysts is, for a given support, dependent on the nanoparticle size, shape, and composition, thus necessitating synthesis techniques that allow for preparing these materials with fine control over those properties. Such control can be exploited to deconvolute their effects on the catalyst's performance, which is the basis for knowledge-driven catalyst design. In this regard, bottom-up synthesis procedures based on colloidal chemistry or atomic layer deposition (ALD) have proven successful in achieving the desired level of control for a variety of fundamental studies. This review aims to give an account of recent progress made in the two aforementioned synthesis techniques for the application of controlled catalytic materials in gas-phase catalysis. For each technique, the focus goes to mono- and bimetallic materials, as well as to recent efforts in enhancing their performance by embedding colloidal templates in porous oxide phases or by the deposition of oxide overlayers via ALD. As a recent extension to the latter, the concept of area-selective ALD for advanced atomic-scale catalyst design is discussed.

Abstract
Despite progress in small scale electrocatalytic production of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) using a rotating ring-disk electrode, further work is needed to develop a non-toxic, selective, and stable O2-to-H2O2 electrocatalyst for realizing continuous on-site production of neutral hydrogen peroxide. We report ultrasmall and monodisperse colloidal PtP2 nanocrystals that achieve H2O2 production at near zero-overpotential with near unity H2O2 selectivity at 0.27 V vs. RHE. Density functional theory calculations indicate that P promotes hydrogenation of OOH* to H2O2 by weakening the Pt-OOH* bond and suppressing the dissociative OOH* to O* pathway. Atomic layer deposition of Al2O3 prevents NC aggregation and enables application in a polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) with a maximum r(H2O2) of 2.26 mmol h-1 cm-2 and a current efficiency of 78.8% even at a high current density of 150 mA cm-2. Catalyst stability enables an accumulated neutral H2O2 concentration in 600 mL of 3.0 wt% (pH = 6.6).
