TL;DR: The electrochemical and physical studies indicate that the high oxygen evolution activity of the nitrogen/carbon materials is from the pyridinic-nitrogen- or/and quaternary-Nitrogen-related active sites, suggesting that the non-metal catalysts will be a potential alternative to the use of transition metal-based oxygen evolution catalysts.

TL;DR: In this article, the photo-induced interfacial charge transfer from a semiconductor to an adsorbed molecular species and the catalytic multi-electron reduction of oxygen by Cu(I) ions were investigated.

TL;DR: In this paper, the role of Cu(II) ions and their associated structural features, such as chemical state and environment, in the 2-propanol oxidative decomposition under visible light and X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) measurements was investigated.

TL;DR: A novel protocol to efficiently synthesize molybdenum carbonitride (MoCN) nanomaterials with dense active sites and high surface area is reported, which is one of the most efficient, low-cost HER catalysts reported to date.

TL;DR: Platinum-modified covalent triazine frameworks hybridized with carbon nanoparticles exhibit selective activity for oxygen reduction reactions even in the presence of high concentrations of meethanol, which indicates potential utility as a cathode catalyst in direct methanol fuel cells.
