https://pubs.rsc.org/en/content/articlelanding/2024/ta/d4ta05554c Abstract Producing dimethyl carbonate (DMC) from CO 2 and methanol offers significant potential for carbon utilization. Ceria (CeO 2 ) is a key catalyst due to its abundant oxygen vacancies essential for CO 2 activation, but enhancing its catalytic performance for practical applications remains challenging. While doping with REMs (rare earth metals) has been recognized as a potential strategy for modulating defect sites of...

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S138589472507891X Abstract Tailoring anchoring sites in Al 2 O 3 to strengthen metal-support interactions (MSI) remains a challenge yet essential for designing robust single-atom catalysts. Herein, nanosheet-stacked amorphous alumina (mAl 2 O 3 ) with enhanced surface area and abundant hydroxyl groups was prepared by controlling the thermal treatment protocol of an Al-containing MOF. Loading 1 wt% Ag onto mAl 2 O 3 led to atomically...

https://pubs.aip.org/aip/app/article/10/10/100901/3367252 Chiral nanophotonic structures have attracted significant attention due to their wide-ranging applications in chiral sensing, on-chip optical devices, and optical communication. Although most chiral structures to date have been generated using conventional design approaches—guided by human intuition and followed by parameter sweeps—these methods are inherently limited in efficiently exploring complex, high-dimensional design spaces....
