Highly stable and active low-temperature CO oxidation catalysts without noble metals are desirable to achieve a sustainable society. While zero-dimensional to three-dimensional Co3O4 nanoparticles show high catalytic activity, simple-structured nanocrystals easily self-aggregate and become sintered during catalytic reaction. Thus, complex three-dimensional nanostructures with high stability are of considerable interest. However, the controlled synthesis of complex nanoscale shapes remains a great challenge as no synthesis theory has been established. In this study, 100 nm raspberry-shaped nanoparticles composed of 7–8 nm Co3O4 nanoparticles were synthesized by hydrothermally treating cobalt glycolate solution with sodium sulfate. Surface single nanometer-scale structures with large surface areas of 89 m2·g−1 and abundant oxygen vacancies were produced. The sulfate ions functioned as bridging ligands to promote self-assembly and suppress particle growth. The Co3O4 nano-raspberry was highly stable under catalytic tests at 350 °C and achieved nearly 100% CO conversion at room temperature. The addition of bridging ligands is an effective method to control the formation of complex but ordered three-dimensional nanostructures that possessed extreme thermal and chemical stability and exhibited high performance.

<p>The efficiency of the synthesis of renewable fuels and feedstocks from electrical sources is limited at present by the sluggish water oxidation reaction. Single atom catalysts (SACs) with a controllable coordination environment and exceptional atom utilization efficiency open new paradigms towards designing high performance water oxidation catalysts. Here, using<i> operando</i> X-ray absorption spectroscopy measurements with calculations of spectra and electrochemical activity, we demonstrate that the origin of water oxidation activity of IrNiFe SACs is the presence of highly oxidized Ir single atom (Ir<sup>5.3+</sup>)<sup> </sup>in the NiFe oxyhydroxide under operating conditions. We show that the optimal water oxidation catalyst could be achieved by systematically increasing the oxidation state and modulating the coordination environments of the Ir active sites anchored atop the NiFe oxyhydroxide layers. Based on the proposed mechanism, we have successfully anchored Ir single-atom sites on NiFe oxyhydroxides (Ir<sub>0.1</sub>/Ni<sub>9</sub>Fe SAC) via a unique<i> in situ</i> cryogenic photochemical reduction (<i>in situ</i> Cryo-PCR) method which delivers an overpotential of 183 millivolts at 10 milliamperes per square centimeter and retains its performance following 20 hours of operation in 1 M KOH electrolyte, outperforming the reported catalysts and the commercial IrO<sub>2</sub> catalysts. These findings open the avenue towards atomic-level understanding of oxygen evolution of catalytic centers under <i>in operando</i> condition.</p>
