Currently, the most popular way to manufacture white light-emitting diodes (WLEDs) is based on blue-emitting InGaN LED chips (440–460 nm) and yellow-emitting phosphor coating (520–700 nm) to produce white light lighting. However, because conventional white WLEDs lack the uniformly distributed continuous emission spectrum compared to natural sunlight: “blue overshoot” (extra 440–460 nm blue-light can cause damage to the retina) and “cyan gap” (470–520 nm wavelength range). Here, a novel strategy to “kill two birds with one stone” is reported: using the stable and bright polymer encapsulated perovskite nanocrystals (PNCs) composite films as the cyan color converters that efficiently absorb the “blue overshoot” and effectively emit the cyan light to fill the “cyan gap”. A series of polymer-encapsulated PNC films is achieved that can reach very high photoluminescence quantum yield (PL QY) of 90–95% under 450 nm blue-light excitation. Importantly, both 370 nm UV-excited WLED and 455 nm blue-excited WLED devices are constructed that exhibit smoothly and evenly distributed white light without blue overshoot and cyan gap, which was not achieved before for blue-excited cyan-emissive materials. This study paves the way toward the application of PNC color converters in the next generation full-visible-spectrum WLED lighting that mimic the natural daylight.

In this work, WO 3 nanosheets are synthesized successfully through the hydrothermal method . Ru is thereafter efficiently loaded on the surface of WO 3 using the ethylene glycol-assisted solvothermal method. The gas sensing test shows that 0.5 wt% Ru-WO 3 exhibits the best performance towards xylene detection. Compared with the pure WO 3 sensor, the gas response of the sensor based on 0.5 wt% Ru-WO 3 in 100 ppm xylene increases from 11 to 73, and the operating temperature decreases from 375 °C to 280 °C. And an ultra-low detection limit of 25 ppb is obtained. In addition, the gas sensing performance of the Ru-loaded WO 3 sensor is much better than that of Au, Pt and Pd-loaded WO 3 sensors. The enhanced gas sensing performance can be attributed to the catalytic overflow of Ru and the formation of heterojunction between RuO 2 and WO 3. It is expected that this finding gives rise to further efforts on efficient and low-cost xylene sensors that are based on Ru-loaded WO 3 .

In this paper, pristine ZnO and Pd modified ZnO nanosheets have been successfully prepared via a facile hydrothermal route and the subsequent calcination process. The composition, morphology and nanostructure of the as-obtained materials were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The methane (CH 4 ) sensing properties of Pd/ZnO were compared with those of pure ZnO , and the materials showed the noticeable sensing capability when the loading amount of Pd was 1 at%. Moreover, the optimal working temperature of ZnO was reduced from 240 °C to 200 °C after loading Pd. The synthesized 1% Pd/ZnO nanocomposites not only showed the maximum response value 19.20 toward 5000 ppm CH 4 at 200 °C, but also exhibited the excellent selectivity and good repeatability. The improvement of CH 4 sensing performance by Pd nanoparticles could be attributed to the synergy effect with the spill-over effect and the nano-Schottky barriers.

Biomarkers detection of foodborne pathogens through gas sensors provides a promising method to ensure food safety. However, rapidly and accurately identifying ultra-low concentration bacterial biomarkers is still an urgent task. In this study, PdRh bimetallic-loaded α-Fe 2 O 3 nanospindles with sufficient exposed surface and high surface activity are designed to achieve sensitive detection of the Listeria monocytogene biomarker s : 3-hydroxy-2-butanone. α-Fe 2 O 3 nanospindles with high exposure surfaces were prepared by modulating the axial diameter ratio. Then PdRh bimetals were uniformly introduced to regulate the surface activity of α-Fe 2 O 3 nanospindles. Compared to pure Fe 2 O 3 , the result 1.5 wt% PdRh-Fe 2 O 3 nanospindle exhibits significantly improved sensitivity and selectivity in detecting 3-hydroxy-2-butanone, characterized by a reduced operating temperature from 240°C to 150 °C, high sensitivity (R a /R g = 148.4, 50 ppm), impressive response/recovery time (7/10 s), low detection limit (200 ppb), notable selectivity, and great stability over a test period exceeding 30 days. Mechanism studies through ex/in-situ characterization and density functional theory calculations (DFT) reveal that the dramatic sensing performance advancement is mainly due to the morphology optimization, bimetallic activation, and their synergistic effects, leading to the increased surface active species, enhanced oxygen mobility, and the reduced activation energy. Furthermore, high-sensitivity detection of Listeria monocytogenes in actual samples is also achieved by using 1.5 wt% PdRh-Fe 2 O 3 nanoneedles-based sensor, indicating its significant potential for non-destructive testing applications in the food industry and opening new avenues for the rapid detection of Listeria monocytogenes .

The Liquid-Sunshine presents a transformative approach for converting biomass into high-value platform chemicals. However, conventional photorefineries suffer from low efficiency and excessive byproduct formation due to the inherent incompatibility between biomass and photocatalysts. Herein, we introduce an innovative tandem oxygen-reforming-photocatalysis (TORP) strategy, which first selectively reforms biomass functional groups before driving photocatalytic C–C bond cleavage to produce high-value platform chemicals (HPCs). The oxygen reforming enhances substrate–catalyst interaction and facilitates selective C–C bond activation, while the formation of a hydrogen-rich surface and associated hydrogen spillover promotes C n −1 radical quenching, thereby improving selectivity and suppressing overoxidation. This TORP strategy leads to a seven-fold increase in xylitol yield (1.3 mmol g −1 h −1 ) with 89% feedstock conversion and provides a robust and efficient approach for biomass valorization and exhibits broad applicability across organic waste and plastic substrates, offering strong potential for industrial deployment.

SO 2 in the sintering flue gas severely inhibits the CO oxidation performance of commercial Pt/Al 2 O 3 catalysts. However, the major poisoning mechanism of SO 2 on Pt/Al 2 O 3 in CO oxidation in the presence of H 2 O remains to be elucidated. Here, Pt/Al 2 O 3 was pretreated with different reducing atmospheres at high temperatures. Among these, the catalyst pretreated with a CO atmosphere at 600 °C (denoted as Pt/Al 2 O 3 -CO-600) exhibited superior CO oxidation performance and enhanced sulfur resistance in the presence of both H 2 O and SO 2 . The combination of XPS, HAADF-STEM, TG-MS, SO 2 oxidation test, and in-situ DRIFTS reveal that the Pt species on Pt/Al 2 O 3 -CO-600 transformed from Pt oxide clusters to metallic Pt nanoparticles. This transformation enhanced SO 2 adsorption and reactivity, leading to increased sulfate accumulation. Despite the high SO 2 reactivity and sulfate content, in-situ DRIFTS revealed that the CO reaction of Pt/Al 2 O 3 -CO-600 was less hindered by SO 2 and the sulfated Al 2 O 3 . This is attributed to the high ratio of the under-coordinated (UC) Pt sites in Pt/Al 2 O 3 -CO-600, which promotes the reaction intermediates spillover from Pt site to Al 2 O 3 compared to the Pt/Al 2 O 3 . This phenomenon was positively correlated with the sulfur resistance of reduced catalysts. Accordingly, the UC site contributes to the spillover of sulfate intermediate (H 2 SO 4 ), reducing the CO reactivity loss of Pt/Al 2 O 3 due to the intermediate coverage. This study elucidates that the primary poisoning pathway of Pt/Al 2 O 3 in the presence of H 2 O and SO 2 is the difficulty of sulfate intermediate spillover.

It remains critical and challenging to synthesize non-noble metal catalysts with excellent hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) activity in a wide pH range. High-temperature pyrolysis is one of the main methods for catalyst synthesis but can be time-consuming and leads to agglomeration easily. In view of this, molybdenum carbide and molybdenum nitride composite (MoC@MoN) was prepared via CO2 laser irradiation technology. The catalytic activity of the as-prepared catalysts can be effectively regulated by controlling the usage of Na2MoO4·2H2O and the applied CO2 laser power. In acidic and alkaline media, the as-prepared MoC@MoN requires an overpotential of only 63 mV and 34 mV, respectively, at a current density of 10 mA cm–2 and exhibits considerable electrochemical and structural durability, making it a suitable candidate for hydrogen production in a wide pH range. Theoretical calculations reveal the surface adsorption and desorption properties of reactive hydrogen and confirm the energetically favorable hydrogen spillover on the heterostructured MoC@MoN interface. The construction of the heterostructured interface enhances the activation of H2O* and further decreases the energy barrier of H2O* dissociation, thereby promoting the Volmer step and the H* supply for HER on the MoC@MoN interface. The integration of efficient H* adsorption on MoN and easy desorption on MoC effectively accelerates the Tafel step and hydrogen spillover, resulting in excellent HER performance of MoC@MoN. The strategy presented in this paper may offer a unique and viable approach for designing and synthesizing high-performance, low-cost HER catalysts, applied in a wide pH range.

The mechanistic role of interfacial electron transfer in enabling reversible hydrogen spillover for enhanced hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) kinetics remains fundamentally unexplored. Herein, we report a lattice-matched PtCoNiCuZn/ WC x N 1-x heterostructure electrode, where interfacial electron transfer triggers reversible hydrogen spillover, thereby achieving exceptional HER performance. Advanced characterization reveals coherent and semicoherent interfaces that induce charge redistribution, creating electron-deficient Pt sites with optimally downshifted d-band centers. The electrode exhibits a remarkable mass activity of 4.63 A mgPt −1 , which is 22 times higher than that of commercial Pt/C, and demonstrates exceptional stability for over 300 h at 10 mA cm −2 , attributed to strong metal-support interactions (SMSI). Density functional theory (DFT) calculations confirm a reversible hydrogen spillover mechanism driven by a built-in electric field at the heterojunction. This electric field facilitates *H migration from WCN to the alloy, alleviating hydrogen accumulation on the support and enhancing metal-site desorption, thus accelerating HER kinetics. This study provides critical insights into the role of interfacial electron transfer in hydrogen spillover and establishes a rational design strategy for highly active and stable self-supported electrodes in sustainable hydrogen production.

The recalcitrance of fluorinated organic pollutants—featuring robust Csp²-F and Csp³-F bonds—poses critical challenges to aquatic ecosystems due to their extreme persistence and bioaccumulation. Whereas current destruction strategies suffer from high energy consumption and non-selective, here we present a solar-powered mineralization strategy utilizing cerium oxide/mesoporous silica (CeO 2 /mSiO 2 ) heterojunction photocatalysts for complete defluorination of organofluorine contaminants, including fluorinated e-waste, fluoro-antibiotics and perfluorinated surfactant. Under visible light irradiation, the optimized 5%CeO 2 /mSiO 2 achieved 91.1 ± 3.2% octafluorobiphenyl (OFB) and 97.7 ± 2.8% fleroxacin (FLE) degradations within 6 h. Notably, the ‘forever chemical’ perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS) can be effectively destructed, achieving a maximum of 25.9 ± 2.7% reduction in 5 days under sunshine, outperforming parallel experiments conducted without a catalyst (~0%). This process notably avoids the evolution of fluoride ions. Theoretical calculations reveal that the removal of C-F bonds by photogenerated hydroxyl radical is thermodynamically superior to hydroxyl-mediated defluorination. This work establishes an energy-efficient paradigm for eradicating “forever chemicals” without secondary pollution, advancing sustainable water remediation technologies.

Electrocatalytic hydrodechlorination (EHDC) is a promising approach for decomposing chlorinated organic compounds in water treatment. However, the efficiency of EHDC is constrained by kinetic mismatch between C−Cl bond cleavage and atomic hydrogen (H*) utilization. Herein, we develop a heterostructured Pd-H x WO 3 electrocatalyst with Pd nanoparticles (Pd NPs) anchored on H x WO 3 substrate, which can efficiently decompose 2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP) by taking advantage of the hydrogen spillover effect. Specifically, the resulting Pd-H x WO 3 electrocatalyst exhibits superior dechlorination rate constant ( k = 1.142 h −1 ) and Faradic efficiency (FE = 10.1 %) than monometallic Pd ( k = 0.3600 h −1 , FE = 3.74 %) and bare H x WO 3 ( k = 0.1167 h −1 , FE = 2.11 %), along with exceptional pH adaptability and stability. Electron spin resonance (ESR) and electrochemical and kinetic isotope effect (KIE) measurements indicate that the transport of the H* from H x WO 3 to Pd NPs is the key to enhanced EHDC performance. Theoretical studies reveal that the Volmer step of water dissociation to produce H* is more favorable due to lower transition state (TS) energy (0.344 eV) on H x WO 3 than that on Pd (TS = 0.532 eV). Furthermore, the interfacial electron redistribution in Pd-H x WO 3 lowers the thermodynamic (Δ G = 0.207 eV) and kinetic (Δ G = 0.239 eV) barriers for H* transfer from the internal site of H x WO 3 to interfacial Pd sites, thereby facilitating the proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET)-mediated EHDC on Pd site. This work provides a new proof-in-concept demonstration for designing hydrogen spillover-integrated electrocatalysts to enhance H* generation-transfer-utilization in EHDC for water decontamination.
