DOI: 10.1002/adma.202108432
Abstract: Transition metals, in particular noble metals, are the most common species in metal-mediated water electrolysis because they serve as highly active catalytic sites. In many cases, the presence of non-transition metals, that is, s-, p-,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/adma.202513681
Abstract: Spinel MnCo2O4 (MCO) is often used for electrocatalytic oxygen reduction reaction (eORR), limited kinetically by the electronic spin state of surface cobalt (Co) centers. In this work, the rate‐determining step of eORR is unlocked by… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.comptc.2019.112606
Abstract: Abstract Multicenter bonding, one of the common phenomenon in p-block as well as d-block metals, is a rare phenomenon in s-block metals. Very few examples, if not none, are there in the literature. Herein, we… read more here.

DOI: 10.1039/c9dt01485c
Abstract: Pb2+ halide organic-inorganic perovskites are excellent semiconductors for use in solar energy applications, but at the expense of robustness and environmental compatibility. Tin (Sn), which sits just above lead in the periodic table, forms pure… read more here.
