Summary: Having an insight into the optimizations of intrinsic properties of cocatalysts via doping foreign atoms to promote solar-driven water splitting is important. Zero-dimensional/one-dimensional structured TMCoSe/CdS0.95Se0.05 was successfully synthesized, and the FeCoSe/CdS0.95Se0.05 photocatalyst showed the most excellent H2 evolution performance. The activity can be attributed to the Schottky-type heterojunction formed between FeCoSe cocatalyst and CdS0.95Se0.05, enhancing charge carrier separation and utilization.

Summary: Efficient, stable, and low-cost bifunctional catalysts for overall water splitting are challenging to design. In this study, Zn and F co-doped NiCoP nanoprism arrays were synthesized and showed high electrocatalytic activity for both HER and OER. DFT calculations demonstrated that the simultaneous doping of NiCoP with Zn and F ions can regulate the electronic configuration and optimize the adsorption energy, thereby enhancing the catalytic activities. This work highlights the effectiveness of the cation-anion co-doping strategy for developing highly active transition metal phosphides electrocatalysts.

Summary: Post-coordination design on COFs is an efficient strategy to enhance the photocatalytic activity. However, the rigidity of 2D COFs hinders their adaptability to specific conformations of metal complexes. In this study, nickel(II) ions were immobilized into a 2D COF, resulting in a stable coordination motif and significantly enhanced photocatalytic performance. The optimized H-2 evolution rate reached 51,300 μmol/h·g, 2.5 times higher than the pristine COF. This work provides a strategy for optimizing the metal-COF coordination system and enhancing electronic regulation in photocatalysis.

Summary: Doping with transition metal ions is an effective way to modulate the photoluminescence of quantum dots. By exploring single and dual doping with Cu+ and/or Mn2+ into ZnSeTe quantum dots, researchers have successfully achieved tunable white emissions with three distinct emission components by adjusting the concentrations of each dopant. The resulting co-doped ZnSeTe quantum dots exhibit outstanding photoluminescence quantum yields and have been applied to the fabrication of quantum dot light-emitting diodes. Comparisons between electroluminescence and photoluminescence were also made.

Summary: Gold(II) complexes have been less utilized in catalysis compared to their gold(I) and gold(III) counterparts. However, gold(II) complexes offer potential in homo-coupling and cross-coupling reactions, as they are more easily accessible through simplified oxidation and reduction processes. Gold(II) exhibits characteristics of both soft acid gold(I) and hard acid gold(III). This review explores the unique reactivity and potential applications of gold(II) species, highlighting their significance in catalytic transformations.

Summary: A new aryl selenonium polyoxometalate hybrid was developed and compared with an aryl sulfonium polyoxometalate hybrid in terms of their photocatalytic properties. It was found that the aryl selenonium hybrid exhibited better catalytic performance, which could be attributed to the larger atomic radii of selenium stabilizing the photogenerated electron-hole pair more efficiently. Additionally, the generation of elemental selenium through cleavage of C-Se bonds during catalysis was observed.
