Creating Conjugated C−C Bonds between Commercial Carbon Electrode and Molecular Catalyst for Oxygen Reduction to Hydrogen Peroxide

Immobilizing molecular catalysts on electrodes is vital for electrochemical applications. However, creating robust electrode-catalyst interactions while maintaining good catalytic performance and rapid electron transfer is challenging. Here, without introducing any foreign elements, we show a bottom-up synthetic approach of constructing the...

The Role of Vacancies in a Ti₂CT_x MXene-Derived Catalyst for Butane Oxidative Dehydrogenation

MXenes are a new family of 2D carbides or nitrides that have attracted attention due to their layered structure, tunable surface groups and high electrical conductivity. Here, we report for the first time that the Ti₂CT_x MXene catalyses the selective oxidative dehydrogenation of n-butane to butenes and 1,3-butadiene....
