Defect engineering has emerged as a powerful strategy to tailor the activity and stability of electrocatalysts for oxygen reduction and evolution reactions. By intentionally introducing vacancies, ...

Photocatalytic materials harness solar radiation to drive chemical transformations, offering pathways to sustainable energy conversion and environmental remediation. Central to this approach is the ...

The study introduces a trimetallic catalyst—comprising nickel (Ni), copper (Cu), and zinc (Zn) nanoparticles supported on defective ceria (CeO 2)—that achieves unprecedented performance in CO 2 ...

A study appearing in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences introduces a trimetallic catalyst—including nickel (Ni), copper (Cu), and zinc (Zn) nanoparticles supported on defective ceria (CeO ...

Defect engineering is the deliberate introduction, removal, or manipulation of structural imperfections in nanomaterials to tailor their properties for specific applications. Unlike the traditional ...

Oxygen Vacancies Redirect Phenol Oxidation toward Polymerization. This schematic illustrates how oxygen vacancy engineering changes the reaction pathway of phenol (PhOH) removal in a peroxymonosulfate ...

Hydrogen is a promising clean energy carrier due to its highest gravimetric energy density and zero carbon dioxide emissions. The noble metal platinum (Pt) is the most effective catalyst for ...
