Many of the traditional thermoelectric materials, such as bismuth telluride and lead telluride, contain scarce and toxic elements. This has motivated the search for new high-performance materials containing readily-available and environmentally-less-damaging elements. Numerous advances in the development of high-performance thermoelectric materials exploit fundamental chemical-bonding principles. Much of the thermoelectric literature lies at the interface of chemistry, physics and materials science. In this Review, progress in the design of high-performance materials is discussed in terms of ideas that are familiar in chemistry. This includes the influence of concepts such as bonding heterogeneity, covalency, polarizability, lone pairs and different bonding models, including multi-centre, metallic and iono-covalent archetypes. In this way, we seek to present aspects of this diverse field of research in terms that are accessible to the chemistry community.</p><figure></figure>","PeriodicalId":18849,"journal":{"name":"Nature reviews.

Photocatalysis, inspired by natural photosynthesis and dating back to 1911, has been revitalized, offering promising solutions to critical energy and environmental challenges facing society today. As such, it represents an important research avenue in contemporary chemical science. However, single photocatalytic materials often suffer from the rapid recombination of photogenerated electrons and holes, resulting in poor performance. S-scheme heterojunctions have emerged as a general method to enhance charge transfer and separation, thereby greatly improving photocatalytic efficiencies. This Perspective delves into the electron transfer dynamics in S-scheme heterojunctions, providing a comprehensive overview of their development and key characterization techniques, such as femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy, in situ irradiated X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and Kelvin probe force microscopy. By addressing a critical research gap, this work aims to trigger further understanding and advances in photo-induced charge-transfer processes, thereby contributing to green chemistry and the United Nations sustainable development goals.</p><figure></figure>","PeriodicalId":18849,"journal":{"name":"Nature reviews.

Nanopores provide accuracy comparable with that of state-of-the-art single-molecule detection methods, but with the added potential for fast and accurate measurements that may be amenable to industrial-scale manufacture. Key to enabling this expansion is combination with other emerging technologies such as DNA nanostructure tagging, machine learning-enabled signal analysis, and innovative detection device manufacture.

These unique properties are optimally suited for investigating intramolecular and intermolecular interactions of molecular species in the liquid phase. This Review summarizes experimental breakthroughs, such as water photolysis and proton transfer on femtosecond and attosecond time scales, dynamics of solvated electrons, charge-transfer processes in metal complexes, multiscale dynamics in haem proteins, proton-transfer dynamics in prebiotic systems and liquid-phase extreme-ultraviolet high-harmonic spectroscopy. An important novelty for ultrafast liquid-phase spectroscopy is the availability of high-brightness ultrafast short-wavelength sources that allowed access to the water window (from 200 eV to 550 eV) and thus to the K-edges of the key elements of organic and biological chemistry: C, N and O. Not only does this Review present experimental examples that demonstrate the unique capabilities of ultrafast short-wavelength spectroscopy in liquids, but it also highlights the broad range of spectroscopic methodologies already applied in this field. Advances in ultrafast short-wavelength sources have enabled major breakthroughs in ultrafast spectroscopy of liquids and solutions. This Review highlights the advances in this field, discusses the new information that can be accessed and presents an outlook on future perspectives.","PeriodicalId":18849,"journal":{"name":"Nature reviews.
