TL;DR: Light is shed on the controlled synthesis of atomically isolated advanced materials, and deeper understanding is provided on the structure-performance relationships of nanocatalysts with multiple active sites for various catalytic applications.

TL;DR: The spatial isolation of cobalt species on the atomic scale is reported by tuning the zinc dopant content in predesigned bimetallic Zn/Co zeolitic imidazole frameworks (ZnCo-ZIFs), which led to the synthesis of nanoparticles, atomic clusters, and single atoms of Co catalysts on N-doped porous carbon.

TL;DR: In this paper, a pyrite-type NiS2 catalyst with surface enriched Ni3+ sites exhibits enhanced catalytic activities towards tri-functional electrocatalysis: overpotentials of 241 mV and 147 mV to achieve a current density of 10 mA cm−2 in 1.0 M KOH for OER and HER, respectively; and a half-wave potential of 0.80 V for ORR.

TL;DR: A special porous Zn with three-dimensional network frame structure, whose multistage average pore sizes can be tuned from 300 to 8 um, is synthesized and it is found that there is a competition between Zn2+ and NH4+ for their reduction on the supports, indicating the remarkable anti-corrosion property.

TL;DR: Experimental and theoretical analysis based on density functional theory demonstrate that the excellent electrocatalytic performance of the nickel (Ni) modified MoS 2 hybrid catalysts grown on carbon cloth is mainly attributed to remarkable conductivity, abundant active sites and synergistic effect of Ni-dopedMoS 2.
