With the rapid development of industry, the pollution of the environment is becoming more and more serious. Among them, water pollution is one of the most serious problems, and polluted water sources often contain heavy metal ions such as mercury, chromium, lead, chromium, arsenic, etc. Which in turn affect our irrigation, breeding, food, and drinking, and finally cause physical harm. Mercury is still widely used today. For example, mercury and mercury compounds are used as catalysts in the plastics industry. Mercury is still widely used today. For example, mercury and mercury compounds are used as catalysts in the plastics industry. Some toxic pesticides also contain mercury. Mercury is used in daily life in fluorescent lamps, batteries, thermometers, medical amalgams, etc. Mercury pollution can be divided into two categories: organic mercury and inorganic mercury. Prolonged exposure to mercury can cause paralysis and a progressive loss of sense of touch, sight, hearing, or taste. Other more common neurological symptoms include memory and balance impairment, insomnia, hand tremors, and behavioral disturbances. Detecting the mercury content in water usually requires large-scale laboratory instruments for measurement, costing a lot of money and time. In this study, a specific aptamer is combined with a field-effect transistor to form an aptamer field-effect transistor by utilizing the properties of thymine-Hg(II)-thymine (T-Hg(II)-T) coordination chemical bonds. A highly selective and sensitive mercury ion sensor was achieved by using N-channel depletion-mode MOSFETs with APTAMER-modified gates. For the Aptamer-modified FET sensor, a detection limit of 0.2 PPM was achieved using a 500 μM × 500 μM gate sensing area. Biosensors realize reduced size, shorter detection speeds, cost savings, and high detection of limit sensors. Therefore, the determination of heavy metal ions in the environment by simple and easy-to-use instruments is of great significance for disease prevention. Figure 1

Many reaction studies show that microdroplets can provide a new avenue for green chemistry by enabling the electrochemical activity of water molecules. The observation of enhanced chemical reaction rates in gas-phase microdroplets compared to bulk liquids, often by orders of magnitude, has sparked considerable research interest. A number of factors may be involved, including evaporation enhanced reactant concentration, partial solvation at the surface, high surface to bulk number ratio, enhanced surface rate constants, pH gradients, gas-phase reactions and mass transfer, electric field enhancement and surface charging. Plasma interactions with liquids involve the mass transfer and accommodation of reactive radicals and other plasma chemical species, often occurs in the presence of high electric field and temperature gradients, UV flux and electric currents. We have investigated the use of low temperature atmospheric pressure plasma irradiated liquid microdroplets. [1] Picolitre microdroplets are totally surrounded by plasma and their high surface area relative to volume receives chemical, photon and charge flux during flight leading to chemical reactions in the liquid at low temperature. With the inclusion of precursors, the small volume provides an excellent basis for gas phase chemical microreactors that can deliver products continuously and almost instantaneously downstream for applications such as plasma medicine and specialist chemical or nanomaterial printing. In particular, low temperature plasmas are a copious source of free electrons, up to 10 6 times greater than corona discharges, which can interact with the liquid surface to promote rapid reduction reactions and possibly on-water catalysis. We have observed the reduction of metal salts in flight to produce nanoparticles at rates many orders of magnitude greater than standard solution chemistry or via radiolysis. [2] We have measured the plasma gas temperature in the presence of microdroplet streams with droplet rates up to 5 x 10 4 s -1 and observed no significant increase in gas temperature, which is typically ~300 K, thus keeping the evaporation limited. [3] Recently, we carried out plasma simulations, coupled with downstream chemical flux measurements, to determine the evolution of gas-phase chemistry in the plasma and effluent. [4] We have also performed the first measurements of plasma charging of particles, at atmospheric pressure for diameters > 1 um. The determined average droplet charge per droplet was 2.5 x 10 6 electrons (400 fC). Using a number of plasma particle charging models we estimate the electron flux ranged from 5 x 10 22 m -2 s -1 to 4 x 10 25 m -2 s -1 . In [2], at least 50% Au 3+ to Au 0 reduction of the droplet precursor (HAuCl 4 ) was observed over a ~120 µs plasma flight time and the equivalent Au 0 generation rate is ~10 13 atoms s -1 . The ratio of electron flux per droplet to metal generation rate provides a dimensionless figure of merit, e - /Au 0 , of ~1
许多反应研究表明,微滴通过使水分子具有电化学活性,为绿色化学提供了一条新的途径。与散装液体相比,气相微滴的化学反应速率通常提高了几个数量级,这引起了相当大的研究兴趣。可能涉及许多因素,包括蒸发增强反应物浓度,表面部分溶剂化,高表面体积比,增强表面速率常数,pH梯度,气相反应和传质,电场增强和表面充电。等离子体与液体的相互作用涉及质传递和活性自由基和其他等离子体化学物质的调节,通常发生在高电场和温度梯度、紫外线通量和电流的存在下。我们研究了利用低温常压等离子体辐照液体微滴。[1]皮升微液滴完全被等离子体包围,其相对于体积的高表面积在飞行过程中接受化学、光子和电荷通量,导致液体在低温下发生化学反应。由于包含前体,小体积为气相化学微反应器提供了良好的基础,气相化学微反应器可以连续且几乎即时地向下游输送产品,用于等离子医学和专业化学或纳米材料印刷等应用。特别是,低温等离子体是自由电子的丰富来源,高达10 - 6倍的电晕放电,它可以与液体表面相互作用,促进快速还原反应和可能的水催化。我们已经观察到金属盐在飞行过程中还原生成纳米粒子的速率比标准溶液化学或通过辐射溶解的速率大许多个数量级。[2]我们测量了微液滴流存在时的等离子体气体温度,液滴速率高达5 x 10 4 s -1,并没有观察到气体温度的显著升高,通常为~300 K,从而保持了蒸发的限制。[3]最近,我们进行了等离子体模拟,并结合下游化学通量测量,以确定等离子体和流出物中气相化学的演变。[4]我们还首次测量了在大气压下直径为1gt的等离子体带电粒子。1嗯。测定的每滴平均电荷为2.5 × 10.6个电子(400fc)。利用若干等离子体粒子充电模型,我们估计了电子通量范围为5 × 10 22 m -2 s -1至4 × 10 25 m -2 s -1。在[2]中,在约120µs的等离子体飞行时间内,观察到液滴前体(HAuCl 4)至少有50%的Au 3+还原为Au 0,等效Au 0生成速率为约10 13个原子s -1。每液滴的电子通量与金属生成速率之比提供了一个无因次值,e - /Au 0在~100 - 1000之间。利用等离子体化学模拟以及对液滴表面的电子通量的估计,我们然后用一维径向反应-扩散方案模拟了随后的水反应。对于直径为15µm的无前驱体液滴,随着电子通量密度(m -2 s -1)的增加,表面h2o2浓度在0.1 ~ 100µm之间变化,而表面OH·浓度几乎不变(~1 mM)。OH·浓度随深度迅速衰减,在1µm内达到1 nM。随着液滴粒径的增大,表面浓度和穿透深度均减小。当电子通量密度达到~5 x 10 22 m -2 s -1时,溶剂化的电子表面浓度为~0.1 mM,穿透深度为~250 nm,但在更高通量下,穿透深度明显增加,这可能是由于表面下h2o2和OH·的浓度降低,它们可以清除电子。当加入1 mM的haucl4前驱体时,表面电子浓度和穿透深度显著降低(<50 nm),即使在非常高的通量密度下也是如此。我们还观察到表面Au 3+的损失和Au 0浓度的增加。然而,与实验观察的50%相比,最大总转化率为15%。增强转化可能需要更大的前驱体通过内部场或对流从液滴中心传输到表面。我们在这种环境下通过简单碰撞对(Au 0) N (N: 2→20)团簇生长进行了初步模拟,观察到当(Au 0) 20 >>(Au 0) 2。[1][参考文献]理论物理。快报,106,224101 (2015);doi: 10.1063/1.4922034 [2] PD Maguire et al., Nano Lett。科学通报,17,1336-1343 (2017)doi: 10.1021/acs.nanolett。[3]刘建军,刘志强,等。[j] .等离子体源学报。科技进展,29 (0805010)doi: 10.1088/1361-6595/aba2aa[4]王晓明等,2022,in-press。见预印本- doi: 10。

In 1998, it would have been impossible to imagine that only 20 years later the chemistry of one of corroles would expand to create an independent field of study. The synthesis of corroles has undergone incredible changes. From multistep strategies that attracted only practitioners in the field, the procedure has been transformed into a one-pot process from commercially available reagents. The synthesis of meso -substituted corroles evolved quickly during the first seven years after Paolesse’s and Gross’s discovery [1,2]. The methodology which led to trans -A 2 B-corroles (i.e., corroles bearing substituents A at positions 5 and 15 and substituent B at position 10) from dipyrranes and aldehydes was discovered in 2000 and optimized several times prior to 2006, when we discovered that as long as aldehydes and dipyrranes were relatively small and/or hydrophilic, performing this reaction in a mixture of water and methanol in the presence of HCl allowed the yields to increase from 6-30% to ~55% [3,4]. The synthetic revolution made it possible to try risky ideas in diverse areas of materials chemistry and in various biology- and medicine-oriented applications. Multiple challenges still remain in the preparation of corroles. One of those challenges is the preparation of corroles possessing CHO groups. Free formyl groups can be reacted with multiple nucleophiles forming more complex and more advanced structures. At the same time CHO is the reacting group pivotal in the corrole synthesis. Attempting to solve this conundrum we recently developed the synthesis of tris(4-formylphenyl)corrole in straightforward fashion. During the realization of this project we discovered that 10-(2-formylphenyl)corrole undergoes intramolecular Friedel-Crafts reaction leading to non-aromatic, π-expanded corrole. This divalent macrocycle possess intriguing photophysical properties and has an ability to form complexes with various metals. References Gross, Z.; Galili, N.; Saltsman, I. Angew. Chem. Int.

Instrumental advances in near-IR fluorescence spectroscopy are enabling new types of measurements involving single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs). Two unique systems will be described. The first is a two-dimensional fluorescence-detected circular dichroism (FDCD) spectrometer. In this, SWCNT samples are excited by a spectrally selected supercontinuum laser beam that is switched between left- and right-circular polarization in an electro-optic modulator. Near-infrared sample fluorescence emitted in the backward direction is captured and directed to a scanning monochromator with a cooled InGaAs single-channel detector. After amplification and high precision digitization, the modulated signal component is extracted by computer-based phase sensitive detection. The system can measure a sample’s E 22 circular dichroism in four spectral modes: 1) conventional FDCD, with scanned visible excitation wavelength and spectrally integrated (zero-order grating) emission detection; 2) Emission-specific FDCD, with scanned visible excitation wavelengths and selected emission wavelength; 3) Emission-scanned FDCD, with selected visible excitation wavelength and scanned emission wavelengths; 4) Excitation-Emission FDCD, with excitation and emission wavelengths both scanned to give two-dimensional data sets. This instrument can spectroscopically resolve enantiomer signals from a single ( n , m ) species in a racemic SWCNT sample. In a parallel project, developments in SWCNT fluorescence spectrometry are advancing nanotube-based strain measurement technology toward commercialization. Because SWCNT emission wavelengths vary systematically with axial strain, nanotubes in a thin coating on a specimen can serve as optically interrogated strain gauges. We apply this effect to measure strain maps through hyperspectral imaging of SWCNT fluorescence. A rotated band pass filter is used to capture a set of images in multiple spectral slices, from which a custom computer program deduces strain at each of ~10 5 image pixels and compiles strain maps. We will describe how this apparatus has evolved from a lab prototype into a compact portable system that can make measurements in industrial settings.

Non-fullerene, a small molecular electron acceptor, has substantially improved the power conversion efficiency of organic photovoltaics (OPVs).[1] However, the large structural freedom of π-conjugated polymers and molecules makes it difficult to be explored with limited resources. Machine learning, which is based on the rapidly growing artificial intelligence technology, is a high-throughput method to accelerate the speed of material design and process optimization; however, it suffers from limitations in terms of prediction accuracy, interpretability, data collection, and available data (particularly, experimental data). This recognition motivates the present review, which focuses on utilizing the experimental dataset for ML to efficiently aid OPV research. The author discusses the trends in ML-OPV publications, the NFA category, and the effects of data size and explanatory variables (fingerprints or Mordred descriptors) on the prediction accuracy and explainability, which broadens the scope of ML and would be useful for the development of next-generation solar cell materials.[2] Despite the advance of ML, the predictive accuracy of ML currently remains insufficient for the design of OPV semiconductors that exhibit a complex connectivity between chemical structure and PCE. In this study, we examined the impact of data selection and the introduction of artificially generated failure data on ML predictions of NFA solar cells. The authors demonstrated that an ML model empowered by artificially generated failure data (~0% PCE by insoluble polymers based on an inappropriate choice of solubilizing side alkyl chains) led to improved predictions.[3] This approach was validated through the synthesis and characterization of twelve polymers (benzothiadiazole, thienothiophene, or tetrazine coupled with benzodithiophene; benzobisthiazole coupled with dioxo-benzodithiophene). Our work offers a facile approach to mitigate the difficulties of the ML-driven development of OPV materials that is also readily applicable to other material science fields.

This recognition motivates the present review, which focuses on utilizing the experimental dataset for ML to efficiently aid OPV research. The author discusses the trends in ML-OPV publications, the NFA category, and the effects of data size and explanatory variables (fingerprints or Mordred descriptors) on the prediction accuracy and explainability, which broadens the scope of ML and would be useful for the development of next-generation solar cell materials.[2] Despite the advance of ML, the predictive accuracy of ML currently remains insufficient for the design of OPV semiconductors that exhibit a complex connectivity between chemical structure and PCE. In this study, we examined the impact of data selection and the introduction of artificially generated failure data on ML predictions of NFA solar cells. The authors demonstrated that an ML model empowered by artificially generated failure data (~0% PCE by insoluble polymers based on an inappropriate choice of solubilizing side alkyl chains) led to improved predictions.[3] This approach was validated through the synthesis and characterization of twelve polymers (benzothiadiazole, thienothiophene, or tetrazine coupled with benzodithiophene; benzobisthiazole coupled with dioxo-benzodithiophene). Our work offers a facile approach to mitigate the difficulties of the ML-driven development of OPV materials that is also readily applicable to other material science fields.

Graphene has captured the imagination of researchers around the world due to its groundbreaking chemical and physical properties. Opening a band gap in graphene must be achieved without, however, compromising its exceptional properties as they are of paramount importance for its use in electronic devices. Notable is the fact that the band gap design in graphene is typically carried out by either chemical or physical methodologies. Chemical modification of graphene is mostly centered around “top-down” or “bottom-up” approaches. The earlier alters, nevertheless, the graphene lattice and, as a consequence, poorly defined structures emerge. The latter by means of, for example, organic synthesis offers a wide palette of tools to control sizes as well as geometries of the resulting “molecular” nanographenes with atomic precision. It allows the fabrication of uniform and well-defined molecular structures. Such “molecular” nanographenes are compelling choices for “on demand” molecular electronics, photovoltaic applications, hydrogen storage, and sensing. In recent years, two main strategies have been developed to fabricate “molecular” nanographenes of defined chemical structures. It is, on one hand, oxidative cyclodehydrogenation of custom-made polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and, on the other hand, on-surface cyclodehydrogenation, which enabled the preparation of atomically precise “molecular” nanographenes. To this end, the 13 fused-benzene rings of hexa- peri -hexabenzocoronene (HBC), which are arranged in a 2D disk-shaped fashion, render HBCs the smallest “molecular” nanographenes.

The distribution of interfacial stress between the amputee's residual limb and the prosthetic socket is thought to be directly related to comfort. Prosthetic sockets are custom-made and the current technology is very mature, whether, by manual molding or 3D scanning, the prosthesis can be made to fit the patient's residual limb, but when the patient actually wears the prosthesis, the wearer may still experience discomfort due to long wear time and foreign body friction. Therefore, researchers have been interested in quantifying these interfacial stresses in order to assess the extent of any potential damage to the residual limb and to reduce the cost of prosthetic fabrication by avoiding repetitive changes to the prosthesis. However, the existing pressure sensors are not only expensive but also have compatibility problems with the residual limb and are prone to instability under the influence of the external environment, which greatly affects the actual force readings in the area. Here, we developed a tactile sensor by triboelectric nanogenerator(TENG), which collects force energy by triboelectric effect, and its wide material selection, easy fabrication, and self-driving properties are receiving more and more attention. In our research, we propose to develop a multi-point array tactile sensor based on two materials: polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) and polycaprolactone (PCL). The surface of PDMS has a droplet microstructure, and PCL is made into a nanofiber film by electrospinning to increase the specific surface area of the material in contact to improve the output characteristics of the device and achieve a larger detection range and sensitivity. In addition to the excellent durability at 10,000 cycles, the characteristics of the device also show good stability at different humidity and temperature. Finally, we integrated this multi-point array sensor with a multi-channel measurement system, attached it to the contact interface of a 3D-printed residual limb and prosthetic model, and collected real-time correspondence signals from the compressed side to demonstrate the feasibility of this application. We believe that this novel design offers a new approach to improve the comfort of prosthetic wear for amputees and has considerable potential.

MoS 2 is one of the promising 2D materials that caught the interest of many research fields[1], [2] due to their size-dependent tunable bandgap and attractive magnetic, optical, and electrical properties[3]. Furthermore, recently there has been a growing interest in utilizing MoS 2 for solar cell applications that demonstrated measurable device enhancements[4]–[6]. Hence, there is a great interest in understanding its potential for solar energy harvesting. In this study, we show a simple method to deposit a 2D layer of MoS 2 nanoparticles (NPs) on top of Aluminum-doped Zinc oxide (AZO) layer (transparent conductive oxide) and investigate its spectral response and potential for application in optoelectronic systems. A thin film of 80 nm AZO layer was grown on a 4-inch quartz wafer using thermal Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) with a 1:19 ratio which has shown good electrical and optical qualities for solar cell applications[7]. We deposited the MoS 2 by spin-coating it on the AZO/quartz wafers for 40 sec at 1000 rpm. Incremental coating is carried on by dispersing seven layers with 500 μL of MoS 2 in each step using a precise pipet to a cumulative dispersion volume of 3500 μL. The prepared samples were characterized using a UV-Vis-NIR spectrometer (Perkin Elmer Lambda) across a wide range of wavelengths (250-1200 nm) by measuring both transmittance and reflectance and calculating absorbance. Furthermore, the base AZO/quartz and quartz background signal were measured before spin-coating as reference. The obtained data shows a high absorbance effect due to MoS 2 NPs at low wavelengths (<400 nm), where it peaks around 340 nm with an approximate absorbance of ~6.7%. Upon further examination, we notice that this behavior is not linear across the whole spectrum and instead is a function of (i) wavelength and (ii) MoS 2 quantity which could be partially due to the quantum confinement effect of several layers of stacked 3D MoS 2 nanoparticles[8]. This phenomenon could open the possibility of utilizing this material for low-wavelength filters or UV sensing applications[9]. Also, it can potentially be utilized for quantum down-conversion[10] of high-energy photons to re-emit photons at lower energies in order to enhance solar cells’ efficiencies and reduce thermal burden; however, further investigation is needed.

MoS 2是一种很有前途的二维材料,由于其尺寸相关的可调谐带隙和吸引人的磁性、光学和电学性质[3],引起了许多研究领域的兴趣[1],[2]。此外,最近人们对利用MoS 2在太阳能电池中的应用越来越感兴趣,这些应用证明了可测量的器件增强[4]-[6]。因此,人们对了解其太阳能收集的潜力非常感兴趣。在这项研究中,我们展示了一种简单的方法,在铝掺杂氧化锌(AZO)层(透明导电氧化物)上沉积二维MoS 2纳米粒子(NPs)层,并研究了其光谱响应及其在光电系统中的应用潜力。采用1:19比例的热原子层沉积(ALD)在4英寸石英晶圆上生长了80 nm的AZO层薄膜,该薄膜在太阳能电池应用中表现出良好的电学和光学质量[7]。我们通过在AZO/石英晶圆上以1000 rpm旋转镀膜40秒来沉积MoS 2。采用精密移液器,每一步用500 μL的二氧化钼分散7层,使其累积分散体积达到3500 μL。利用紫外-可见-近红外光谱仪(Perkin Elmer Lambda)在250-1200 nm宽波长范围内对制备的样品进行了表征,测量了透射率和反射率,并计算了吸光度。并在旋涂前测量了基材AZO/石英和石英背景信号作为参考。所获得的数据表明,由于MoS 2 NPs在低波长(<400 nm)具有高吸光度效应,在340 nm左右达到峰值,吸光度约为~6.7%。经过进一步的研究,我们注意到这种行为在整个光谱中不是线性的,而是(i)波长和(ii) MoS 2数量的函数,这可能部分是由于多层堆叠的3D MoS 2纳米颗粒的量子限制效应[8]。这一现象可能开启了将这种材料用于低波长滤光片或紫外传感应用的可能性[9]。此外,它还可以潜在地用于高能光子的量子下转换[10],以更低的能量重新发射光子,以提高太阳能电池的效率并减少热负担;然而,还需要进一步的研究。[1]周鹏,陈超,王晓霞,胡斌,三红,“基于二维光导MoS2纳米片的表面声波谐振器的紫外光传感”,光子学报,vol. 31, pp. 389-397, 2018, doi: 10.1016/ j.i ssn .2017.12.007。[2]董宏等,“荧光MoS - 2量子点的超声制备、上转换和下转换生物成像及其光动力治疗”,中国生物医学工程学报。板牙。《接口》,第8卷,第2期。5, pp. 3107-3114, 2016年2月,doi: 10.1021/acsami.5b10459。[3]李志强,李志强,李志强,“一种新型直接间隙半导体材料”,物理学报。启。,第105卷,第105期。13, p. 136805, sept . 2010, doi: 10.1103/ physrevlet .105.136805。[4]刘志强,“石墨烯/硅太阳能电池的光电性能研究”,材料工程,vol. 7, no. 5。34, pp. 14476-14482, 2015, doi: 10.1039/C5NR03046C。[5]张晓明,张晓明,“超薄二硫化钼纳米片在钙钛矿太阳能电池中的应用”,光学材料,vol. 104, p. 109933, Jun. 2020, doi: 10.1016/ j.c optmatt .2020.109933。[6] Y.-J。黄,H.-C。陈,H.-K。林和k - h。Wei,“掺杂ZnO电子传输层与MoS 2纳米片提高聚合物太阳能电池的效率”,ACS applied。板牙。《接口》,第10卷,第2期。23, pp. 20196-20204, 2018年6月,doi: 10.1021/acsami.8b06413。[7]张晓明,张晓明,“Al 2o3:ZnO合金在硅光电器件中的应用”,应用物理学报,vol. 22, no. 7。24, p. 245103, 2017年12月,doi: 10.1063/1.4990871。[8]李涛,李志强,“纳米二氧化钛的电子特性”,物理学报。化学。C,第111卷,第111号。44, pp. 16192-16196, Nov. 2007, doi: 10.1021/jp075424v。[9]刘志强等,“基于高光谱的MoS_2/Si异质结宽带光电探测器”,光电工程学报,2011。,第42卷,第2期。17, p. 3335, Sep. 2017, doi: 10.1364/OL.42.003335。[10]张建军,张建军,张建军,“超声合成纳米二氧化钼的光致发光特性”,光学材料,vol. 85, pp. 61-70, 2018.08.038, doi: 10.1016/ j.p optmatet .2018.08.038。[11]吴勇等,“基于MoS - 2的可见光探测器和基于gan的紫外探测器的集成”,光子学报。参考文献,第七卷,第7号。2019年10月,doi: 10.1364/PRJ.7.001127。图1

Electrochemical carbon dioxide reduction (CO 2 RR) is a promising approach to converting CO 2 into value-added chemicals using renewable electricity and to ultimately reducing the dependence on fossil resources. However, achieving sufficient activity and selectivity in economically viable CO 2 electrolyzers presents a great challenge for CO 2 RR catalysts. 1 Carbons are an important and particularly suitable component of a majority of CO 2 RR catalysts due to their excellent electronic conductivity, relatively easily achievable high porosity and hierarchical pore structure. 2, 3 Thanks to these benefits, the metal-nitrogen-carbon (M-N-C) materials, containing at least 95 at% of carbon, have attracted special interest due to their promising selectivity for CO in CO 2 RR. 4 In particular, the Ni-N-C support has been used to improve selectivity of Cu-based CO 2 RR catalysts for ethylene, attributed to the enhancement of CO generation during CO 2 RR. 5 However, a comprehensive study is still needed to understand the effect of composition and morphology of M-N-C materials as supports for CO 2 RR. In this presentation, we will summarize the results of our recent study that has focused on the effect of composition (e.g., different metal centers) and morphology (e.g., porosity) of M-N-C supports on the activity and selectivity of metal (e.g., Cu) nanoparticles. We will specifically concentrate on possible advantages/disadvantages of using M-N-C materials as performance enhancing supports rather than autonomous CO 2 RR electrocatalysts.
