Redox chemistry plays an important role in the precise production of targeted valuable chemicals. However, achieving accurate control of the redox process still lacks the guidance of mechanistic insight. This paper describes how doping can […]

Geometrically isolated metal atoms in alloy catalysts can target efficient and selective catalysis. However, the geometric and electronic disturbance between the active atom and its neighbouring atoms, that is, diverse microenvironments, makes the active site […]

Numerous activity descriptors have been developed to rationally design single-atom catalysts (SACs), such as energy-based or electronic descriptors. However, their computationally costly and experimentally unobtainable properties limit the understanding of the structure-activity relationship to a […]

Cobalt oxide (CoOx) catalysts are widely applied in CO2 hydrogenation but suffer from structural evolution during the reaction. Our recent study describes the complicated structure–performance relationship under reaction conditions. An iterative approach was employed to […]

Heterogeneous catalysts, especially metal oxides, play a curial role in improving energy conversion efficiency and production of valuable chemicals. However, the surface structure at the atomic level and the nature of active sites are still […]
