Summary: In this study, a theoretical model based on PtM (M = Ru, Au, or Sn) bimetallic clusters supported on titanium silicalite (TS-1) was developed and applied to investigate the dehydrogenation of n-butane. The catalysts suitable for the dehydrogenation process were identified using the cluster model, and a correlation between the d-band center and the energy barrier of the first dehydrogenation step was established. Experimental results confirmed the theoretical findings, as PtM bimetallic catalysis supported on TS-1 exhibited consistent trends in turnover frequencies and apparent activation energies. This study provides guidance for designing catalysts for n-butane dehydrogenation.

Summary: The manipulation of crystal and electronic structure plays a crucial role in determining the electrocatalytic activity of materials, with bismuth molybdate showing potential as an electrocatalyst for oxygen evolution reaction with the promotion of iron in the crystal structure. The incorporation of iron leads to the development of strain and dislocation in the crystal structure, with the presence of an optimal amount of iron beneficial for creating oxygen vacancies. However, a higher concentration of iron can be detrimental to the electrocatalytic performance.

Summary: Polymer-based nanocomposites have great potential for protecting spacecraft in low earth orbits from atomic oxygen erosion. However, the development of high-performance polymer nanocomposites with superior atomic oxygen resistance is challenging due to a lack of understanding of the protection mechanism and advanced composite technology. In this study, alkylated reduced graphene oxide (RGO) was successfully used as a nano-filler to protect the polymer matrix from atomic oxygen erosion, leading to significant improvements in mechanical properties and atomic oxygen resistance. Furthermore, a quantitative model of RGO aspect ratio was proposed and used to establish a linear structure-performance relationship for polypropylene/RGO composites.

Summary: In order to reduce costs and improve catalytic activity, a two-dimensional porphyrin sheet with single nickel atoms (Ni TDPS) was used as a catalyst for CO oxidation, and the detailed reaction path was studied by DFT. The stability of Ni - TDPS was determined by AIMD simulations. Three typical reaction mechanisms of CO oxidation on Ni TDPS were discussed, including LH, ER, and TER mechanisms. The results showed that the TER mechanism is feasible due to the minimum reaction energy barrier in the rate-determining step. Therefore, Ni - TDPS is a potential candidate catalyst for CO oxidation in theory.
