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: It is shown that chiral surfaces can be produced through electrodeposition, a relatively simple solution-based process that resembles biomineralization in that organic molecules adsorbed on surfaces have profound effects on the morphology of the inorganic deposits.

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.

TL;DR: Copper-modified covalent triazine frameworks hybridized with carbon nanoparticles (Cu-CTF/CPs) are synthesized as efficient electrocatalysts for the ORR in neutral solutions and may provide a new platform for the synthesis of durable non-noble-metal electrocatalyssts for various target reactions.
