Acid-alkaline balance plays a crucial role in all biological processes . Accordingly, monitoring pH changes will help us to understand the functional status of these physiological and pathological processes. Though fluorescent probes may be a useful tool for detecting pH changes, and there are many limitations to currently available probes, such as background interference, potential cytotoxicity, and poor cell permeability , which call for a solution urgently. In this work, a rhodamine-derived colorimetric and ratiometric sensor ( Rh–HN ) was fabricated for monitoring pH change via the mechanism of fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET). Rh–HN has been shown to possess several advantages over other probes, such as high sensitivity, outstanding permeability, and low toxicity. Besides, the fluorescence intensity ratio (F 526 /F 592 ) of Rh–HN displays a pH-sensitive response from 2.0 to 7.5 (p K a = 5.05) and linear response from pH 3.8 to 6.4, which was desirable for mapping pH change in the biological systems. Besides, the results indicated that Rh–HN generated a pH-dependent response regulated by switchable forms between closed and opened spirolactam ring. Overall, Rh–HN has accomplished sensing and mapping of pH in living cells, bacteria, and zebrafish. Those results demonstrated that the great potential of Rh–HN in sensing and visualizing pH in the living biosystem.

In this paper, a MoS2/Rh–P bi-compound heterogeneous cocatalyst is developed to improve the photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting performance of a p-Si photocathode. Compared with the single cocatalysts (MoS2 and Rh–P), the bi-compound heterogeneous cocatalyst MoS2/Rh–P on the p-Si photocathode surface exhibits a much better hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) activity at the electrode/electrolyte interface, which is attributed to the synergistic electronic effect between MoS2 and Rh–P materials. Meanwhile, the TiO2 layer could serve as a linker between p-Si and the surface cocatalyst to optimize the interface energy, further promoting the photocarrier transfer process within the system. Thus, the as-prepared p-Si–TiO2–MoS2/Rh–P photocathode exhibits excellent PEC performance with a high photocurrent density of −24.1 mA cm−2 at 0 V (vs. RHE) and a positive onset potential of 0.43 V (vs. RHE). And the bi-compound heterogeneous cocatalyst provides a feasible strategy for boosting the PEC hydrogen evolution.

Layered semiconductor compounds often exhibit intriguing properties for photocatalytic water splitting, probably correlated with their peculiar crystal structures that facilitate charge separations. In this work, we perform an investigation on the layered Ruddlesden-Popper compound Sr 2 TiO 4 and its La/Rh co-doped counterparts for photocatalytic hydrogen production from water. Their crystal structures, optical absorption and other physicochemical properties have been systematically explored. Our results suggest that La/Rh can be successfully incorporated into Sr 2 TiO 4 with layered crystal structure maintained. The use of polymerized-complex method for sample synthesis significantly reduces the calcination temperature as low as 900 °C. La/Rh serves as efficient dopants for extending the light absorbance of Sr 2 TiO 4 as far as 550 nm. Photocatalytic hydrogen productions are also considerably improved after La/Rh co-doping under both full range (λ ≥ 250 nm) and visible light irradiation (λ ≥ 420 nm). An optimal doping level is reached at 3% (Sr 1.97 La 0.03 Ti 0.97 Rh 0.03 O 4 ) which gives the highest average hydrogen production rate ∼100 μmol/h and ∼40 μmol/h under full range (λ ≥ 250 nm) and visible light irradiation (λ ≥ 420 nm), corresponding to apparent quantum efficiency ∼1.27% and ∼1.18%, respectively. Photoelectrochemical analysis reveals that charge separation and electron lifetime strongly depends on the level of La/Rh co-doping. Mott-Schottky analysis and theoretical calculations indicate that the improved light absorption of La/Rh co-doped Sr 2 TiO 4 stems from the formation of new valence band with Rh 4d character which uplifts the valence band edge of Sr 2 TiO 4 .

We disclose the development of the Rh-catalyzed amine-directed remote 5,6-carboamination protocol of pyridines via dual Csp 2 –H functionalizations. A variety of readily available 2-aminopyridines and 1,2,3-triazoles are allowed for coupling cyclization to access polyfunctionalized azaindoles. Mechanistic studies including DFT calculations unveil that relay carbenoid-electrophilic addition to pyridines and the sequential pyridyl Csp 2 –H amination are involved in this transformation. The post-synthetic utility of this methodology is showcased by versatile and site-selective modification of azaindoles.

Hydroformylation is one of the most widely applied homogeneous catalytic processes in the chemical industry, constituting the predominant manufacturing platform for aldehyde synthesis at commercial scales. Nevertheless, hydroformylation shares with traditional homogeneous catalysis the inherent limitation of difficult catalyst recovery and recycling. Developing heterogeneous catalysts for such reactions is thus critically needed. Herein, a stable nitrogen-rich covalent triazine framework (CTF) was synthesized via a mild Friedel–Crafts alkylation method and employed as a support for Rh single-atom catalysts (Rh/CTF-TPA). In the hydroformylation of 1-decene, the Rh/CTF-TPA catalyst exhibits an exceptional reaction efficiency (TOF > 1900 h−1), outperforming the homogeneous Rh(CO)2(acac). Experimental and characterization results revealed that the CTF support enhances catalytic performance through two key mechanisms: (1) strong enrichment of reactants within its special structure, and (2) efficient dispersion of Rh single-atom sites stabilized by abundant nitrogen coordination. This work demonstrates a rational design strategy for heterogeneous hydroformylation catalysts by leveraging nitrogen-rich porous frameworks to synergistically optimize metal anchoring and reactant enrichment, offering a promising alternative to conventional homogeneous systems.

Bi 3 TiNbO 9 , a layered ferroelectric photocatalyst, exhibits great potential for overall water splitting through efficient intralayer separation of photogenerated carriers motivated by a depolarization field along the in-plane a -axis. However, the poor interlayer transport of carriers along the out-of-plane c -axis, caused by the significant potential barrier between layers, leads to a high probability of carrier recombination and consequently results in low photocatalytic activity. Here, we have developed an efficient photocatalyst consisting of Bi 3 TiNbO 9 nanosheets with a gradient tungsten (W) doping along the c -axis. This results in the generation of an additional electric field along the c -axis and simultaneously enhances the magnitude of depolarization field within the layers along the a -axis due to strengthened structural distortion. The combination of the built-in field along the c -axis and polarization along the a -axis can effectively facilitate the anisotropic migration of photogenerated electrons and holes to the basal {001} surface and lateral {110} surface of the nanosheets, respectively, enabling desirable spatial separation of carriers. Hence, the W-doped Bi 3 TiNbO 9 ferroelectric photocatalyst with Rh/Cr 2 O 3 cocatalyst achieves an efficient and durable overall water splitting feature, thereby providing an effective pathway for designing excellent layered ferroelectric photocatalysts.

Controllable and mild photoenzymatic production of chiral alcohols was realized by coupling a versatile photochemical NAD(P)H regeneration system with (R)- or (S)-selective ketoreductases. The efficiency of NAD(P)H regeneration was improved using a Rhodium functionalized metal organic framework, namely Rh-UiO-67, to adjust and control electron transport and electron utilization. Furthermore, six different ketoreductases could be successfully immobilized on Rh-UiO-67 and combined with the light-driven NAD(P)H regeneration system to produce chiral aryl alcohols. Various chiral alcohols with complementary (R)- and (S)-conformations can be constructed by this method with high yields (97%) and excellent stereoselectivity (>99% ee).

In this work, the effect of Nafion ionomer content on the structure and catalytic performance of direct CO polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell(CO-PEMFC) by using Rh-N-C single-atom catalyst as the anode catalyst layers was studied. The ionic plaque and roughness of the anode catalyst layers increase with the increase of Nafion ionomer content. Furthermore, the contact angle measurement results show that the hydrophilicity of the anode catalyst layers also increases with the increase of Nafion ionomer content. However, when the Nafion ionomer content is too low, the binding between microporous layers, catalyst layers and membrane cannot meet the requirement for either electric conductivity or mass transfer. While Nafion ionomer content increased above 30%, the content of water in anode is difficult to control. Therefore, it was found that AN 30(30% Nafion ionomer content of anode) is the best level to effectively extend the three-phase boundary and improve CO-PEMFCs performance.

The clean surface of the metal nanoparticles (NPs) plays an important role for their catalysis applications due to more active catalytic sites being available. However, the organic stabilizer is difficultly completely removed for the metal NPs by colloidal preparation. The synthesis of metal NPs without stabilizers requires a suitable solid support as an immobilizer and a proper template to control their shapes. Herein, a general route via clay-nanosheets as both a stabilizer and a support for colloidal synthesis of aqueous soluble metal NPs with a clean surface was proposed. Due to its clean surface and two-dimensional (2D) structure for a great promotion on hydrogenation activity, and Na + ions for promotion on cyclohexanone selectivity, the Pd-NPs showed superior catalytic performance for hydrogenation of phenol to cyclohexanone in water. Ru, Pt and Rh NPs showed superior catalytic performance for hydrogenation of toluene at room temperature and atmospheric pressure.

The direct synthesis of long-chain α-olefins from syngas offers a strategically vital pathway for producing high-value chemicals from alternative carbon resources. However, achieving high selectivity toward C5+olefins remains challenging due to competing paraffin formation and difficulties in precisely regulating chain growth kinetics. To mitigate these critical challenges, a series of Rh-promoted Co-Mn catalysts supported on SiO2were synthesized using a carbon-mediated impregnation strategy for the direct conversion of syngas to long-chain α-olefins (C5+). The introduction of Rh significantly enhanced both catalytic activity and C5+olefin selectivity. The optimal 1.1 wt% Rh-loaded catalyst achieved 24.6% CO conversion and 46.0% total olefin selectivity, with 34.2% of the selectivity toward C5+olefins, while maintaining low CH4(6.2%) and CO2(<1%) selectivity. Comprehensive characterization techniques, including XRD, H2-TPR, XPS, and TEM/HAADF-STEM, revealed that the carbon-mediated method facilitated the formation of highly dispersed Co3O4nanoparticles with abundant oxygen vacancies and strengthened the Co-MnOxinterface. Rh promotion modulated the cobalt speciation (Co0/Co2+), improved reducibility, and enhanced the metal-support interaction. This promoted chain growth and olefin desorption while suppressing over-hydrogenation. This study demonstrates the efficacy of Rh promotion and carbon mediation in designing high-performance Fischer-Tropsch catalysts for selective α-olefin synthesis, offering new insights into the design of efficient metal-oxide interfacial catalysts.

This study presents a novel Rh 7 Ni 1 P 4 /SiO 2 catalyst that significantly improves the hydroformylation of olefins, achieving a turnover frequency of 3433h −1 . By incorporating nickel (Ni) and phosphorus (P) into rhodium (Rh), the electronic structure of Rh was effectively modified, enhancing olefin adsorption and reducing CO binding energy. This dual modulation boosts catalytic performance by shifting the rate-determining step from CO insertion to acyl hydrogenation, thereby accelerating the reaction rate. Experimental results, supported by density functional theory (DFT) calculations, reveal that the Rh 7 Ni 1 P 4 /SiO 2 catalyst reduces Rh-CO interactions, minimizes rhodium leaching, and exhibits excellent stability over multiple cycles. This research advances the design of robust and efficient catalysts for industrial hydroformylation processes.

A new catalyst for direct ethanol synthesis (DES) from syngas composed of Rh nanoparticles (NPs) highly dispersed on La-Ce-O modified LaFeO 3 which was loaded on SiO 2 support was studied in this work. Over the best catalyst 40.6 % of the reacted CO could be directly converted into ethanol with CO conversion of 14.2 % at 250 °C, 3 MPa and GHSV of 3900 mL (g cat h) −1 . The results indicated that adding cerium into LaFe 0.5 Rh 0.5 O 3 /SiO 2 resulted in La 1-x Ce x Fe 0.5 Rh 0.5 O 3 /SiO 2 , the incorporation of Ce effectively regulated the interface electronic states of Rh NPs . The well matched catalyzing process by the active sites of Rh 0 , Rh + (or Rh δ+ ) and the oxygen vacancies on the surface of LaFeO 3 , of those, Rh 0 dissociatively adsorbed CO and the latter two associatively adsorbed CO could effectively improve the activity and selectivity for DES. Moreover, the interaction of La-Ce-O and LaFeO 3 strengthened the CO adsorption on the oxygen vacancies on LaFeO 3 , which improved the capacity of assistance in activating CO associatively, thus further increasing the selectivity to ethanol. The catalyst exhibited excellent resistance to carbon deposition and sintering, attributing to the small size of Rh NPs and the carbon eliminating effect of La 2 O 3 and oxygen vacancies on the surface of LaFeO 3 .
