Amid the wave of energy transition toward carbon neutrality, solar-driven water-splitting hydrogen production technology has long been regarded as a promising solution. However, an undeniable reality remains: the vast majority of photocatalytic research s
The research group led by Chen Rong at Wuhan Textile University recently reported a bimetallic Pt-Rh/TiO₂ photocatalyst that efficiently converts toxic carbon monoxide (CO) and H₂O into ethylene (C₂H₄) under room temperature (25 ℃) and ambient pressure co
CO₂ is not only the "culprit" behind global warming but can also be transformed into clean energy methane! Recently, a joint team from Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Peking University, and McGill University in Canada published a groundbreaking study in
In the context of global efforts to limit temperature rise to within 1.5°C, achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions has become a crucial goal for nations worldwide. Currently, over 70% of global greenhouse gas emissions come from the extraction, refin
In the context of global efforts to combat climate change and promote energy transition, the development of clean energy is particularly urgent. Hydrogen, as a zero-carbon energy carrier, is widely used in hydrogen fuel cell vehicles and energy storage sy
Traditional chemical reactions primarily activate reactants through heating, providing energy to overcome thermodynamic barriers and facilitating the conversion of reactants into products. In a thermal catalytic system, reactant molecules are adsorbed and
Photocatalytic technology has made significant progress over more than 50 years of development and has been widely applied in various fields, including photocatalytic hydrogen production, photocatalytic CO₂ reduction, and photocatalytic pollutant degradat
The team led by Academician Tang Junwang from Tsinghua University, in collaboration with Professor Huang Weixin's team from the University of Science and Technology of China, Academician C. Richard A. Catlow's team from Cardiff University, and Professor
The Incident Photon-to-Current Efficiency (IPCE) is a key characterization parameter in photoelectrocatalysis and photovoltaic research. It is used to evaluate a material's ability to convert incident photons into photocurrent under illumination at diffe
Electrode polarization refers to the phenomenon where the electrode potential deviates from its equilibrium potential, typically caused by an external current or electric field. This phenomenon reflects the combined effects of electrode reaction kinetics
Recently, a collaborative research team led by the U.S. National Academy of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine member and Rice University Professor Naomi J. Halas and Professor Peter Nordlander published their latest findings in the journal Nature Cataly
