The catalytic performance strongly relies on the composition, structure, and property of the material used. Earth-abundant tungsten oxides family (WOx≤3) has received considerable attention in photocatalysis, electrochemistry and catalytic hydrogenation due to its highly tunable structure and unique physicochemical properties. Substantial efforts have been made by us to improve the photocatalytic activity of WOx≤3 by enhancing light harvesting, charge transfer and separation, including defect engineering, morphology control, and hetero-junction construction. Additionally, the semiconductor-to-metal transition of WOx≤3 has been found with the increase of defect concentration, suggesting H2 can be activated on them in a similar way of a metal catalyst. As a result, WO2.72 also can function as a versatile and efficient catalyst for the saturation of olefins and selective transform of nitroarenes to anilines.

In response to global energy and environmental issues, development of efficient and robust earth-abundant electrocatalysts for hydrogen evolution reaction is particularly meaningful. In this study, a facile hydrothermal method is developed to synthesize porous CoS2 nanostructures by using sulfur powder and thiourea as sulfur sources on carbon cloths for highly efficient hydrogen evolution reactions. The huge load of CoS2 on carbon cloth,their unique porous nanostructures equiped CoS2 nanomaterials with excellent electrocatalytic properties. The remarkable HER catalytic performance was achieved with -67 mV at a current density -10 mA cm-2 and the Tafel slope 62 mV dec-1 in 0.5 M H2SO4 solution. The overpotential of HER only lost 2 mV after 1000 cycles with remarkable stability. I think this work opens up a low cost and scalable route to fabricate transition metal-based materials for application in electrocatalysis.

Abstract The design of cheap, non-toxic, and earth-abundant transition metal catalysts for selective hydrogenation of alkynes remains a challenge in both industry and academia. Here, we report a new atomically dispersed copper (Cu) catalyst supported on a defective nanodiamond-graphene (ND@G), which exhibits excellent catalytic performance for the selective conversion of acetylene to ethylene, i.e., with high conversion (95%), high selectivity (98%), and good stability (for more than 60 h). The unique structural feature of the Cu atoms anchored over graphene through Cu-C bonds ensures the effective activation of acetylene and easy desorption of ethylene, which is the key for the outstanding activity and selectivity of the catalyst.

The design of new, efficient catalysts for the conversion of CO2 to useful fuels under mild conditions is urgent in order to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and alleviate the energy crisis. In this work, a series of transition metals (TMs), including Sc to Zn, Mo, Ru, Rh, Pd and Ag, supported on a boron nitride (BN) monolayer with boron vacancies, were investigated as electrocatalysts for the CO2 reduction reaction (CRR) using comprehensive density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The results demonstrate that a single-Mo-atom-doped boron nitride (Mo-doped BN) monolayer possesses excellent performance for converting CO2 to CH4 with a relatively low limiting potential of −0.45 V, which is lower than most catalysts for the selective production of CH4 as found in both theoretical and experimental studies. In addition, the formation of OCHO on the Mo-doped BN monolayer in the early hydrogenation steps is found to be spontaneous, which is distinct from the conventional catalysts. Mo, as a non-noble element, presents excellent catalytic performance with coordination to the BN monolayer, and is thus a promising transition metal for catalyzing CRR. This work not only provides insight into the mechanism of CRR on the single-atom catalyst (Mo-doped BN monolayer) at the atomic level, but also offers guidance in the search for appropriate earth-abundant TMs as electrochemical catalysts for the efficient conversion of CO2 to useful fuels under ambient conditions.
