Plasmonic photocatalysis has recently facilitated the rapid progress in enhancing
photocatalytic efficiency under visible light irradiation, increasing the prospect of using …

Hydroxyl (OH) groups are widely present on an oxide surface, which have been recognized
as a key factor affecting surface properties of the oxide and interaction of the metal overlayer …

Catalysis plays a critical role in chemical conversion, energy production and pollution
mitigation. High activation barriers associated with rate-limiting elementary steps require …

Low temperature catalytic reactions induced by nonthermal plasma (NTP) have been of
great interest in plasma chemistry for application to pollution control and energy-related …

We present here a facile route for the synthesis of crystal Ag and Au nanoparticles on the
basis of chitosan as a mediator agent under quiescent conditions. The resulting Ag …

The performance of single-atom catalysts strongly depends on their particular coordination
environments in the near-surface region. Herein, we discover that engineering extra Pt …

Illumination of a voltage-biased plasmonic Ag cathode during CO2 reduction results in a
suppression of the H2 evolution reaction while enhancing CO2 reduction. This effect has …

A general two-step approach has been developed for the synthesis of very small and
sintering-resistant bimetallic gold− silver nanoparticles on inert supports including …

Catalytic oxidation is an effective way to eliminate soot pollution emitted from diesel engines.
However, the origination and specific location of active oxygen species are still unclear over …
