N-induced lattice contraction generally boosts the hydrogen evolution catalysis of P-rich metal phosphides

Proton-hydride tautomerism in hydrogen evolution catalysis.

Efficient generation of hydrogen from renewable resources requires development of catalysts that avoid deep wells and high barriers. Information about the energy landscape for H2 production can be obtained by chemical characterization of catalytic intermediates, but few have been observed to date. We have isolated and characterized a key intermediate in 2e(-) + 2H(+) → H2 catalysis. This interm...

Light induced activity switch in interfacial hydrogen-bond catalysis with photo sensitive metal oxides.

UV light switches on the catalytic activities of several metal oxides in hydrogen bond catalyzed reactions because of the changes in the concentration of the surface hydroxyl groups.

N,P-Codoped Carbon Networks as Efficient Metal-free Bifunctional Catalysts for Oxygen Reduction and Hydrogen Evolution Reactions.

The high cost and scarcity of noble metal catalysts, such as Pt, have hindered the hydrogen production from electrochemical water splitting, the oxygen reduction in fuel cells and batteries. Herein, we developed a simple template-free approach to three-dimensional porous carbon networks codoped with nitrogen and phosphorus by pyrolysis of a supermolecular aggregate of self-assembled melamine, p...
