This paper reviews recent studies on the preparation of two-dimensional (2D) metal
nanostructures, particularly nanosheets. As metal often exists in the high-symmetry crystal …

Dispersing single palladium atoms on a support is promising to minimize the usage of
palladium and improve the selectivity for alkyne semihydrogenation, but its activity is often …

Single-atom alloys (SAA) in which active metal atoms are atomically dispersed in an inert
host possess unique geometric and electronic structures, and generally own higher catalytic …

Atomically precise Pd-thiolate clusters are well-known for their well-defined structures and
diverse applications involving catalysis, sensors, and biomedicine. While many of these …

The notable surface plasmon resonance (SPR) effect of some metals has been applied to
improve the efficiency of alcohol oxidation reactions, whereas the comprehensive …

Here, we proposed a universal approach to solve a seesaw relationship between thermal
effect control and conversion efficiency in strong exothermic acetylene hydrogenation by …

Electrochemical CO reduction reaction (CORR) offers a promising approach for sustainable
acetate production, the promotion of which requires the control of multiple protonation steps …

Catalytic hydrogenation is a foundational pillar of the chemical industry. Especially, semi-
hydrogenation of acetylene (C2H2) to ethylene (C2H4) is an important industrial reaction to …

Selective semi-hydrogenation of acetylene is an extremely important reaction from both
industrial and theoretical perspectives. Palladium, due to its unique chemical and physical …
