Sustainable processes for semi-hydrogenation of alkynes/alkadienes impurities in alkenes feedstocks are in great demand in industry as the utilization of excessive hydrogen, high temperature and unsatisfactory alkenes selectivity of the current thermo-catalytic route, however, their development is still challenging. Herein, we innovate a light-assisted semi-hydrogenation process in gas-feed fixed bed reactor, with water as hydrogen atom source by in situ photocatalysis. Using Pd/TiO as model catalyst, this process shows an excellent catalytic performance for the semi-hydrogenation of 1,3-butadiene, with 100 % of butenes selectivity at ≈99 % of conversion over 180 h of reaction at ambient temperature driven by 66 mW cm of irradiation intensity. This light-driven, H -free, ambient temperature semi-hydrogenation process, with superior performance to that of thermocatalytic route, shows attractive to bring an evolution in industrial hydrogenation technology to an economical and safe way.

Self-powered two-dimensional (2D) polarization-sensitive photodetectors have propelled the advancement of the next-generation optoelectronics. However, currently such devices mainly depend on the stacking of multiple 2D heterojunctions to realize this function, which demands precise operational procedures and strict band alignment. Herein, we present the achievement of self-powered polarization photodetection in 2D GaInS 3 via strain engineering. This primarily depends on the intrinsic in-plane anisotropic structure and internal spontaneous polarization of 2D GaInS 3 . Remarkedly, the strained GaInS 3 devices exhibit superior optoelectronic performance with a high on/off ratio (>10 4 ), and large anisotropy ratio (∼5.4). Furthermore, the strained device can achieve self-powered high-resolution polarization imaging. This work offers a guideline valuable for developing high-performance 2D self-powered polarization photodetectors.

Transition metal phosphides (TMPs) have emerged as promising photocatalysts due to their exceptional catalytic performance derived from diverse crystalline phases and superior charge transport properties. To address the inherent limitations of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) in terms of structural stability and reaction kinetics, this study employed an innovative phosphorization approach that successfully constructed essential Co-P and Zn-P chemical bonds within the framework. The engineered architecture not only increased the density of active catalytic sites but also created well-defined interfacial heterostructures in the CoZn-MOF matrix. advanced characterization techniques demonstrated that the induced internal electric field effectively promoted charge carrier migration and substantially improved the material’s water molecule activation efficiency. Systematic performance assessments revealed a 28-fold enhancement in hydrogen evolution rates for CoZn-P compared with Zn-P analogues, attributed to optimized charge separation efficiency and synergistic catalytic effects. These findings provide critical design guidelines for constructing high-performance MOF-derived photocatalysts through strategic structural engineering.

We systematically elaborate the thermal stability mechanism of MgAgSb-based materials through thermodynamic and kinetic analysis of grain boundary characterizations. By proposing the general strategy of grain boundary segregation engineering (GBSE) to improve the stability of nanostructured bulk thermoelectric materials, it is found that excessive Cu doping can modify the microstructure to enhance stability as both Ag and Cu segregation coexist at the grain boundary. After annealing at elevated temperature, the final performance is almost unchanged with a high room-temperature dimensionless figure-of-merit zT of around 0.7, in contrast to property deterioration of pure MgAgSb. As revealed by atom probe tomography (APT) measurements, Cu segregation inhibits grain boundary migration and hinders grain growth, due to the additional reduced grain boundary energy and mobility. Our work provides new insights into the critical role of grain boundary segregation in the properties optimization and thermal stability enhancement, which opens up alternative perspectives for designs of highly stable and high-performance nanostructured thermoelectric materials.
