	A research team led by Prof. Shu-Hong Yu and Prof. Min-Rui Gao from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) proposes a simple and effective method to create unconventional CN vacancies (VCN) in Ni-Fe Prussian blue analogue (PBA) by a nitrogen plasma bombardment process. Such VCN is largely distinct from the well-studied vacancies previously documented, which not only tunes the local electronic str...

	Active and inexpensive electrocatalysts for methanol oxidation reaction (MOR) are highly required for the practical application of direct methanol fuel cells (DMFCs). However, efficient MOR is limited by using the expensive and rare noble metal-based catalysts. A team from the Institute of Functional Nano & Soft Materials Laboratory in Soochow university reported a Cu@CoOx core-cage nanostructure on carbon layers ...

	A group led by Prof. Xiangfeng Duan from UCLA collaborated with researchers from BSRF reviewed the recent advancements in G-SACs for electrochemical energy conversion, from the synthetic strategies and identification of the atomistic structure to electrocatalytic applications in a variety of reactions, and finally conclude with a brief prospect on future challenges and opportunities. This review was published in t...

	Phenol is an important chemical raw material. The direct one-step catalytic oxidation of benzene to phenol is of great significance in the green chemical industry. However, developing a high activity catalyst is the biggest challenge of benzene oxidation process. A research group in the Department of chemistry of Tsinghua University has made in-depth research on the structure and catalytic performance of single-at...

	A team from Department of Chemistry of Tsinghua University first used ultrathin two-dimensional Ti3-xC2Ty MXene to anchor single atoms and used them as SACs for efficient functionalization of CO2.

	Recently, the synthesis of transition metal single atom catalysts containing Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Ru, Pt or combinations thereof was reported by a group in Technical Institute of Physics and Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences, and their research results were published in Nature Communications at October 8th, 2019.
