The electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide (CO2) to ethylene creates a carbon‐neutral approach to converting carbon dioxide into intermittent renewable electricity. Exploring efficient electrocatalysts with potentially high ethylene selectivity is extremely desirable, but still challenging. In this report, a laboratory‐designed catalyst HKUST‐1@Cu2O/PTFE‐1 is prepared, in which the high specific...
The discovery and in‐depth study of non‐biocatalytic applications of active biomolecules are essential for the development of biomimicry. Here, the effect of intermolecular hydrogen‐bonding traction on the CO2 photoactivation performance of adenine nucleobase by means of an adenine‐containing model system (AMOF‐1−4) is uncovered. Remarkably, the hydrogen‐bonding schemes around adenines are regularly...
Anisotropically hybridized porous crystalline Li‐S battery separators based on porous crystalline materials that can meet the multiple functionalities of both anodic and cathodic sides are much desired for Li‐S battery yet still challenging in directional design. Here, an anisotropically hybridized separator (CPM) based on an ionic liquid‐modified porphyrin‐based covalent‐organic framework (COF‐366‐OH‐IL)...
Metal‐oxo clusters have emerged as advanced proton conductors with well‐defined and tunable structures. Nevertheless, the exploitation of metal‐oxo clusters with high and stable proton conductivity over a relatively wide temperature range still remains a great challenge. Herein, three sulfate groups decorated zirconium‐oxo clusters (Zr6, Zr18, and Zr70) as proton conductors are reported, which exhibit...
In this work, by combining the superiority of polyoxometalates (POMs) and catalytic single‐metal site Co of metalloporphyrin, a series of mixed‐valence POM‐based metal‐organic frameworks (MOFs) composites is synthesized by a post‐modification method. The electron‐transfer property of POM@PCN‐222(Co) composite is significantly enhanced owing to the directional electron‐transfer from POM to single‐metal...
By combining the superiority of polyoxometalate (POM) and single‐metal site Co in porphyrin, a POM‐based metal–organic framework composite has been constructed by Wen‐Wen He, Ya‐Qian Lan, Shengqian Ma, and co‐workers (article number 2100762). Directional electron transfer from POM to the single‐metal site Co in PCN‐222(Co) accelerates electron‐transfer efficiency thereby affording high electrocatalytic...
As one class of important functional materials, transition metal phosphides (TMPs) nanostructures show promising applications in catalysis and energy storage fields. Although great progress has been achieved, phase‐controlled synthesis of cobalt phosphides nanocrystals or related nanohybrids remains a challenge, and their use in overall water splitting (OWS) is not systematically studied. Herein,...
Utilizing pre‐synthesized supramolecular gels and a controllable thermal conversion technique, Yue Lin, Min Han, and co‐workers prepare three kinds of cobalt phosphides nanocrystals encapsulated by P‐doped carbon (PC) and “married” with P‐doped graphene (PG) nanohybrids. Compared with their pure phase counterparts, the mixed‐phase nanohybrids manifest better electrocatalytic performance toward overall...
