Synthesis of polyoxometalate-pillared Zn–Cr layered double hydroxides for photocatalytic CO2 reduction and H2O oxidation
This study explores polyoxometalate (POM)-pillared Zn–Cr layered double hydroxides (LDHs) photocatalysts for CO2 reduction and H2O oxidation. Specifically, the LDH pillared with SiW12O404− shows promoted photocatalytic performance.

Pd/Ni-metal–organic framework-derived porous carbon nanosheets for efficient CO oxidation over a wide pH range
Ni-MOF-derived hierarchical porous carbon nanosheets (Ni-MOF/PC) decorated with Pd nanocrystals (Pd/Ni-MOF/PC) have high electrocatalytic CO oxidation activity in KOH, HClO4, and NaHCO3 electrolytes than Pd/C and Pd/Ni-MOF/C.

Boosting activity and selectivity of glycerol oxidation over platinum–palladium–silver electrocatalysts via surface engineering
A series of platinum–palladium–silver nanoparticles with tunable structures were synthesized for glycerol electro-oxidation in both alkaline and acidic solutions.
About this collection
Guest Edited by Prof. Yude Su, (University of Science and Technology, China) and Prof. Yanwei Lum (National University of Singapore, Singapore). This collection focuses on important and upcoming areas of electrocatalytic reactions, including but not limited to nitrogen reduction, upgrading of biomass derived molecules and hydrogen peroxide production. Of interest here is the important role that nanoscience can play in the development of electrocatalytic materials to efficiently facilitate these reactions.
