Compared to nanostructured platinum (Pt) catalysts, ordered Pt-based intermetallic nanoparticles supported on a carbon substrate exhibit much enhanced catalytic performance, especially in fuel cell electrocatalysis. However, direct synthesis of homogeneous intermetallic alloy nanocatalysts on carbonaceous supports with high loading is still challenging. Herein, we report a novel synthetic strategy to directly produce highly dispersed MPt alloy nanoparticles (M = Fe, Co, or Ni) on various carbon

Alkali hydroxide systems capture CO2 as carbonate; however, generating a pure CO2 stream requires significant energy input, typically from thermal cycling to 900°C. What is more, the subsequent valorization of gas-phase CO2 into products presents additional energy requirements and system complexities, including managing the formation of (bi)carbonate in an electrolyte and separating unreacted CO2 downstream. Here, we report the direct electrochemical conversion of CO2, captured in the form of ca

Pd is one of the most effective catalysts for the electrochemical reduction of CO₂ to formate, a valuable liquid product, at low overpotential. However, the intrinsically high CO affinity of Pd makes the surface vulnerable to CO poisoning, resulting in rapid catalyst deactivation during CO₂ electroreduction. Herein, we utilize the interaction between metals and metal-organic frameworks to synthesize atomically dispersed Au on tensile-strained Pd nanoparticles showing signif

Visible-light-driven organic transformations are of great interest in synthesizing valuable fine chemicals under mild conditions. The merger of heterogeneous photocatalysts and transition metal catalysts has recently drawn much attention due to its versatility for organic transformations. However, these semi-heterogenous systems suffered several drawbacks, such as transition metal agglomeration on the heterogeneous surface, hindering further applications. Here, we introduce heterogeneous single

Enzymes, composed of earth-abundant elements, outperform conventional heterogeneous photocatalysts in hydrogen production due to the dual-site cooperation between adjacent active metal sites and proton-transferring ligands. However, the realization of such dual-site cooperation in heterogeneous catalytic systems is hindered by the challenges in the precise construction of cooperative active sites. In this study, we present the design of a structurally tuned metal-organic framework (MOF) photocat

Green hydrogen production via proton exchange membrane water electrolysis (PEMWE) faces economic feasibility challenges, primarily due to its reliance on noble metal catalysts. While cost-effective Ru-based catalysts show promise as alternatives to expensive Ir-based catalysts for an anodic oxygen evolution reaction, their long-term performance is compromised by overoxidation at high current densities. In addressing this challenge, we present a cooperative dual-site strategy for atomic-scale inc

본 연구는 원주 법천사지에서 출토된 분청사기의 화학조성과 미세조직, 결정상을 X-선형광분석기와 주사전자현미경-에너지분산형엑스선분석기, X-선회절분석기를 이용하여 알아보았다. 태토의 화학성분 분석 결과, 낮은 실리카(<TEX>$RO_2$</TEX>) 함량과 높은 융제(RO+<TEX>$R_2O$</TEX>) 함량임을 알 수 있다. 유약의 경우 융제 성분 중 CaO 함량이 높은 전형적인 석회계열(lime type)과 석회-알칼리 계열(lime-alkali type) 유약을 사용하였으며 태토의 결정상으로는 quarts, mullite, microcline, albite가 확인되었다. 특히 원주 법천사지에서 출토된 분청사기 태토의 화학적 조성은 제겔식을 이용하여 이미 연구된 다른 유적에서 출토된 분청사기와 비교하였으며 화학조성은 서로 상이한 결과를 보였다.
