In this image, the brown pipelike passage represents the interpenetrating oil phase, while the green “tadpole-shaped” objects are actually the surfactant Tween 20. The hydrophobic tail of the surfactant tends to orderly assemble at the electrode surface and enrich the oil phase to create a hydrophobic interfacial microenvironment, thus preventing the proximity of H₂O molecules, resulting in an expanded electrochemical window.

Herein, we apply a oxyhydroxide layer formed on top of iron-doped layered nickel phosphorus trisulphides (Ni1-xFexPS3) to induce oxidation of benzylamine (BA). Structural and surface chemical characterizations during the electrocatalytic process combined with calculations reveal that Ni1-xFexPS3 undergoes surface reconstruction under alkaline conditions to form metal oxyhydroxide/phosphorus trichalcogenide (NiFeOOH/Ni1-xFexPS3) heterostructure. The heterointerface facilitates BA oxidation with a low onset potential of 1.39 V and Faradaic efficiency of 53% for benzonitrile synthesis.

In this work, the introduction of a C₆₀ back interface layer successfully mitigated back interface reactions to decrease the thickness of the Mo(S,Se)₂ layer, tailoring the back-contact barrier and preventing reverse charge injection, resulting in a kesterite photodetector with an ultralow dark current density of 5.2 × 10⁻⁹ mA/cm² and ultra-weak-light detection at levels as low as 25 pW/cm².

Herein, this work proposes an entropy-engineering strategy in metal nanoparticle-embedded nitrogen carbon electrocatalysts, implemented by entropy-engineered Prussian blue analogs (PBA) as precursors to enhance the catalytic activity of primary Cu-Fe active sites.
