Zeolites possessing large specific surface areas, ordered micropores, and adjustable
acidity/basicity have emerged as ideal supports to immobilize metal species with small sizes …

Solvent molecules interact with reactive species and alter the rates and selectivities of
catalytic reactions by orders of magnitude. Specifically, solvent molecules can modify the …

Cobalt-manganese composite oxides have high-activity potential for catalytic oxidation of
volatile organic compounds (VOCs). However, low defect content and poor oxygen mobility …

Abstract Singlet oxygen (1O2) is ubiquitously involved in various photocatalytic oxidation
reactions; however, efficient and selective production of 1O2 is still challenging. Herein, we …

A hollow multishell structure (HoMS) is an assembly of multiple shells with voids between
the individual shells. Accessible through nanopores, these voids represent separate …

In single-atom catalysts (SACs), the isolated metal atoms on solid support are often charged.
Taking advantage of this common feature, we establish ionic liquid-stabilized single-atom …

Solvent structures that surround active sites reorganize during catalysis and influence the
stability of surface intermediates. Within zeolite pores, H2O molecules form hydrogen …

Hydrophobic voids within titanium silicates have long been considered necessary to achieve
high rates and selectivities for alkene epoxidations with H2O2. The catalytic consequences …

Herein, we show how the spatial environment in the functional pores of covalent organic
frameworks (COFs) can be manipulated in order to exert control in catalysis. The underlying …

Catalytic reactions involve the direct interaction of reactants, intermediates and products with
the catalyst surface. We not only need to control the atomic structure and electronic …
