TL;DR: It is reported that the conventional wisdom for construction of classical SMSI involves in redox treatments at high-temperatures by molecular oxygen or hydrogen, sometimes causing sintered metal nanoparticles before SMSI formation to be effectively avoided by a wet-chemistry methodology.

TL;DR: In this article, defective/graphitic synergy in heteroatom-interlinked-triggered asphaltene (D/G-HASP) is explored via Raman spectroscopy, density functional theory (DFT), and other characterization approaches, in which reactions involving the oxygen-containing intermediates on the carbon substrate can be accelerated by the electron deficit triggered by heteroatoms, thus enhancing the oxygen reaction performance.

TL;DR: In this paper, a first-principles DFT-based kinetic Monte Carlo simulation (kMC) is performed to understand the origin of coke formation, and an effective method is proposed to curb coke.

TL;DR: In this paper, a defect-rich activated carbon was shown to have superior catalytic performance and stability for acetylene hydrochlorination as metal-free catalysts, and the defective site on activated carbon is the active site for catalytic hydrogenation.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors summarized the recent developments of heteroatom-doped carbon cathode catalysts for CO2 electrochemical reduction reaction (CERR) and discussed the preparation method and performance of the doped carbon materials discussed in detail, but so are the active center and related mechanisms in CERR.
