Summary: This study compares the chlorine evolution reaction (CER) catalytic activities of a series of anode samples with different Sb/Co ratios using scanning electrochemical microscopy, demonstrating that Sb sites exhibit higher catalytic activity and the Sb/Co ratios affect the CER selectivity. The high activity of Sb sites highlights the significance of electronic polarization in changing the oxidation states of Co and Sb.

Summary: This article summarizes recent progress in developing active catalysts, from metallic clusters to single-atom active sites (SACs), for electrochemical reactions. Metal coordinated N-doped carbons (M-N-C) show promising performance due to their abundant atomic sites. The article highlights the design and optimization of M-N-x-C-y as active sites for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), and discusses the improved activity, selectivity, and durability of these relatively new catalysts. Furthermore, the article explores the long-term durability of SACs structures and their relation to catalytic ORR performance, as well as degradation mechanisms and future challenges in the field.

Summary: Different dopants (yttrium, magnesium, zinc, nickel, or tin) with varying electron affinity were incorporated into alumina-supported palladium-cobalt catalysts, resulting in the tuning of microstructure, surface property, and electronic state of catalysts. The catalytic activity showed an inverted volcano trend with increased electronegativity of dopants, with magnesium providing additional electrons to enhance the Pd-Co interaction and improve catalytic performance, stability, and water-resistance.

Summary: A method for preparing catalysts based on hybrid clusters forming high-density metal/oxide interfacial active sites has been developed. The composite nanoparticles of Ru and V were found to be formed through hybrid clustering, showing better performance compared to conventional coimpregnation. The study also revealed the formation mechanism of composite nanoparticles and proposed a simple yet efficient catalyst preparation method.

Summary: A hierarchically porous carbon-supported N,S dual-coordinated cobalt single-atom catalyst (Co-1/NSC-AT) was developed for the hydrogenation of nitro compounds. The catalyst exhibited excellent catalytic performance with high conversion and selectivity under mild conditions. The N,S dual-coordinated environments tailored the electronic structures of Co single atoms, promoting the hydrogenation process.

Summary: Chemodynamic therapy (CDT) utilizes Fenton chemistry to generate toxic hydroxyl radicals from hydrogen peroxide in cancer cells. However, endogenous hydrogen peroxide is insufficient for sustainable CDT. The authors present a water oxidation CoFe Prussian blue nanoframe that can provide sustained, external energy-free supply of hydroxyl radicals for CDT.
