Summary: In this study, a Pt@TiOx/TiO2 catalyst modified by silica (Pt@TiSi) with super-hydrophilic surface and metallic platinum sites was synthesized to investigate the reasons behind the steam-accelerated C3H6 combustion over supported platinum. In situ spectroscopy analyses confirmed the involvement of water chemically to accelerate the reactions. Comparing the water response and kinetics of the silica-modified and unmodified samples, a water-mediated O2 adsorption and activation pathway (HOH center dot center dot center dot OO* -> OOH*) was identified as the origin of the activity bonus induced by steam. The Pt@TiSi catalyst exhibited significantly enhanced C3H6 oxidation activity in the presence of moisture due to the formation of OOH* at the interface between platinum and the hydrophilic supports (e.g., TiOx-SiO2).

Summary: Selective photocatalytic oxidation of alcohols into aldehydes or ketones is achieved efficiently and with high selectivity using Ta-doped Bi2WO6 catalyst loaded with Pt nanoparticles under visible-light irradiation. The presence of surface oxygen vacancies promotes the dissociative adsorption of alcohols and prolongs the lifetime of charge carriers, leading to enhanced photocatalytic oxidation performance. Isotopic labeling experiments reveal that the H-2 product is generated from water reduction on Pt-loaded pristine undoped Bi2WO6, while it originates from alcohol dehydrogenation on Pt-loaded Ta-doped Bi2WO6, demonstrating a complete dehydrogenation pathway for alcohol oxidation.

Summary: In this work, a novel in situ auto-reduction strategy was developed to encapsulate uniformly dispersed Pd clusters/nanoparticles in MIL-125-NH2. The amino groups in MIL-125-NH2 can react with formaldehyde to form novel reducing groups (-NH-CH2OH), which can in situ auto-reduce the encapsulated Pd2+ ions to metallic Pd clusters/nanoparticles. This strategy limits the aggregation and migration of Pd clusters and the formation of large Pd nanoparticles by controlling the amount of Pd2+ precursor. When applied as catalysts in the hydrogenation of phenol in the aqueous phase, the obtained Pd(1.5)/MIL-125-NH-CH2OH catalyst exhibited excellent performance with high phenol conversion and cyclohexanone selectivity, as well as remarkable reusability due to the highly dispersed Pd clusters/nanoparticles and their stability within the MIL-125-NH-CH2OH framework.

Summary: In this study, indium (In) ions were introduced into flexible Cu2ZnSn(S,Se)(4) (CZTSSe) solar cells to modify the back interface and passivate deep level defects in CZTSSe bulk. The results showed that In doping effectively inhibited the formation of secondary phase and V-Sn defects, decreased the barrier height at the back interface, passivated deep level defects in CZTSSe bulk, increased carrier concentration, and significantly reduced the V-OC deficit. Eventually, a flexible CZTSSe solar cell with a power conversion efficiency of 10.01% was achieved. This synergistic strategy of interface modification and bulk defects passivation through In incorporation provides a new approach for fabricating efficient flexible kesterite-based solar cells.

Summary: Direct growth of redox-active noble metals and rational design of multifunctional electrochemical active materials play crucial roles in developing novel electrode materials for energy storage devices. In this regard, silver (Ag) has attracted great attention in the design of efficient electrodes. The construction of multifaceted heterostructure cobalt-iron hydroxide (CFOH) nanowires (NWs)@nickel cobalt manganese hydroxides and/or hydrate (NCMOH) nanosheets (NSs) on the Ag-deposited nickel foam and carbon cloth (i.e., Ag/ NF and Ag/CC) substrates is reported. The as-fabricated Ag@CFOH@NCMOH/NF electrode delivered superior areal capacity value of 2081.9 μA h cm-2 at 5 mA cm-2. Moreover, as-assembled hybrid cell based on NF (HC/NF) device exhibited remarkable areal capacity value of 1.82 mA h cm-2 at 5 mA cm-2 with excellent rate capability of 74.77% even at 70 mA cm-2. Furthermore, HC/NF device achieved maximum energy and power densities of 1.39 mW h cm-2 and 42.35 mW cm-2, respectively. To verify practical applicability, both devices were also tested to serve as a self-charging station for various portable electronic devices.
