TL;DR: A volcano-like curve of the turnover frequency for CO production within the size range suggests that CO2 adsorption, COOH* formation, and CO* removal during CO2 reduction can be tuned by varying the size of Pd NPs due to the changing ratio of corner, edge, and terrace sites.

TL;DR: In this paper, a strategy to encapsulate 3D transition metals Fe, Co and the FeCo alloy into nitrogen-doped carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and investigated their hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) activity in acidic electrolytes.

TL;DR: Experimental measurements and density functional theory calculations indicate that the formation of the Fe═O intermediate structure is a key step to promoting the conversion of benzene to phenol, paving the way toward highly efficient nonprecious catalysts for low-temperature oxidation reactions in heterogeneous catalysis and electrocatalysis.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors synthesize coordinatively unsaturated nickel-nitrogen (Ni-N) sites doped within porous carbon with a nickel loading as high as 5.44 wt% by pyrolysis of Zn/Ni bimetallic zeolitic imidazolate framework-8.

TL;DR: Density functional theory calculations indicate that the Au-CeOx interface is the active site for CO2 activation and the reduction to CO, where the synergy between Au and CeOx promotes the stability of key carboxyl intermediate (*COOH) and thus facilitates CO2RR.
