Atomically dispersed catalysts, including single-atom, dual-atom, and periodic single-metal site catalysts, have revolutionized electrocatalysis by merging atomic precision with heterogeneous stability. This review traces their evolution from pioneer...

Nanotubes (NTs) are nanosized tube-like structured materials made from various substances such as carbon, boron, or silicon. Carbon nanomaterials (CNMs), including carbon nanotubes (CNTs), graphene/graphene oxide (G/GO), and fullerenes, have good int...

Inorganic nanomaterials are pivotal foundational materials driving traditional industries’ transformation and emerging sectors’ evolution. However, their industrial application is hindered by the limitations of conventional synthesis meth...

Solar-driven interfacial water evaporation technology coupled with photocatalytic function is regarded as an emerging approach for treating high-salinity organic wastewater, but it remains challenging to design high-performance solar evaporators with...

Converting graphene oxide (GO) nanosheets into high-performance paper-like GO films has significant practical value. However, it is still challenging because the mechanical properties significantly decreased when the nanosheets are assembled into fil...

The increasing use of nanostructured silver-containing inorganic materials raises concerns about their impact on aquatic organisms. This study assessed the toxicity of silver-modified bentonite composites on Chlamydomonas sp. Two materials were teste...

The reasonable design of low-cost, high-activity single-atom catalysts (SACs) is crucial for achieving highly efficient electrochemical CO2RR. In this study, we systematically explore, using density functional theory (DFT), the performance of transit...

Cesium tungsten bronzes (CsxWO3), as functional materials with excellent near-infrared shielding properties, demonstrate significant potential for applications in smart windows. However, traditional synthesis methods, such as solid-state reactions an...

Exploring novel two-dimensional layered transitional metal dichalcogenides and elucidating their reaction mechanism are critical to designing promising anode materials for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). Herein, a novel layered TaS2 nanosheet was obtai...

Spices contain abundant essential oils and active compounds, which can be difficult to introduce into living cells due to their apolar, lipophilic nature. Carbon nanoparticles, produced through the Maillard reaction during food heat treatment, are sm...
