Electrochemical hydrogenation reactions gained significant attention as a sustainable and
efficient alternative to conventional thermocatalytic hydrogenations. This tutorial review …

Alkyne semi-hydrogenation is extremely significant for the production of polymer-grade
ethylene and lots of fine chemicals in modern industry. Many efforts had been devoted to …

Summary Step-scheme (S-scheme) heterojunctions have been widely applied in
photocatalytic CO 2 reduction because they facilitate the spatial separation of …

Electrocatalytic alkyne semi-hydrogenation to alkenes with water as the hydrogen source
using a low-cost noble-metal-free catalyst is highly desirable but challenging because of …

The production of polymers from ethylene requires the ethylene feed to be sufficiently
purified of acetylene contaminant. Accomplishing this task by thermally hydrogenating …

Abstract 2D metallene nanomaterials have spurred considerable attention in heterogeneous
catalysis by virtue of sufficient unsaturated metal atoms, high specific surface area and …

Developing an efficient strategy for the highly selective transformation of alkynes to alkenes
over a cost-effective catalyst using a cheap and safe hydrogen donor under ambient …

Catalytic semihydrogenation of acetylene is crucial for ethylene purification but still faces a
grand challenge in circumventing deep hydrogenation and oligomerization so far, especially …

Nanoparticles composed of metallic cores encapsulated in oxide shells emerged in the last
decade as an attractive class of nanocomposite materials due to their high stability and …

Tuning the crystal-phase of bimetallic particles enables a precise control of catalytically
active sites but is experimentally challenged by the averaging ensemble effects that are …
