Atomically Thick Oxide Overcoating Stimulates Low-Temperature Reactive Metal-Support Interactions for Enhanced Catalysis

Xinyu Liu et al.

Summary: Reactive metal-support interactions (RMSIs) can be initiated at a much lower temperature by using an atomically thick Ga2O3 coating of Pd nanoparticles. This leads to the formation of rarely reported Ga-rich PdGa alloy phases, which significantly enhance the catalytic activity in CO2 hydrogenation reaction. In situ infrared spectroscopy reveals that the Ga-rich phases favor formate formation and its subsequent hydrogenation, resulting in high productivity.

Insight into Structural Evolution, Active Sites, and Stability of Heterogeneous Electrocatalysts

Shenlong Zhao et al.

Summary: Studying the structure-activity correlations of electrocatalysts is crucial for improving the conversion of electrical to chemical energy. Recent evidence obtained through operando characterization techniques shows that the structural evolution of catalysts, caused by their interaction with electric fields, electrolytes, and reactants/intermediates, leads to the formation of real active sites. It is therefore important to summarize the research advances in structural evolution and envision future developments. In this Minireview, the fundamental concepts associated with structural evolution, the triggers of this evolution, and advanced operando characterizations are discussed. The reversibility of structural evolution in heterogeneous electrocatalysis, with a focus on the oxygen evolution and CO2 reduction reactions, is also highlighted. Finally, the key challenges and opportunities in this exciting field are presented.

The role of Cu1-O3 species in single-atom Cu/ZrO2 catalyst for CO2 hydrogenation

Huibo Zhao et al.

Summary: This study reports a novel copper-based catalyst with isolated active copper sites for the hydrogenation of CO2 to methanol. The Cu-1-O-3 units in the Cu-Zr catalyst are found to contribute solely to methanol synthesis, while small copper clusters or nanoparticles with Cu-Cu structural patterns are responsible for the formation of CO by-product. Additionally, the migration of Cu-1-O-3 units to the catalyst surface during the catalytic process accelerates CO2 hydrogenation. These findings extend the application potential of single-atom catalysts for thermal catalytic CO2 hydrogenation and provide insights for the design of high-performance copper-based catalysts to meet industrial demand.
