Recently, tremendous efforts have been made in the development of efficient catalysts by defect design to convert CO<sub>2</sub> into high-value chemicals such as C<sub>1</sub>, C<sub>2</sub>, and C<sub>3</sub> products. Here, a concise but comprehensive review of recent progress in the field of ECO<sub>2</sub>RR is provided. A series of recently developed defect strategies are summarized under a framework of vacancy defects, doping defects, lattice defects, and edge defects. Besides the relationship between catalyst design and performance, the key factors of device types, ion-exchange membranes, and electrode configuration related to the performance of ECO<sub>2</sub>RR electrolyzers are discussed. Lastly, recent advances in industrial applications and related economic analyses, along with some challenges and opportunities, are highlighted.","PeriodicalId":388,"journal":{"name":"Matter","volume":"77 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":18.9,"publicationDate":"2024-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142763905","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The DAC concept should be ideal for the efficient catalysis of the ECR reaction, as DACs offer the same intrinsic advantages as single-atom catalysts, yet the additional atom also presents an additional degree of freedom for synergistic catalyst design. This is especially important for the effective catalysis of multi-step reactions such as the ECR reaction, hence the particular relevance of DACs for this reaction. Yet DACs still present many challenges that must be overcome. Here, we first report the unique advantages of the DAC concept for the ECR reaction. This serves as a basis for discussing potential design strategies for realizing effective ECR from DACs.

To address this issue, research efforts have focused on developing renewable solar-driven desalination and atmospheric water harvesting (AWH) technologies. However, existing energy-free freshwater harvesting methods are limited by weather conditions and time constraints, hindering their widespread applications. In this critical review, we explore the potential application and research efforts aimed at achieving a full-day (24 h) water supply to enhance their commercial viability. We begin by discussing the material design for solar-driven 3D evaporators, highlighting their potential for water supply during both daytime and nighttime. Subsequently, we delve into promising materials and devices for developing full-day AWH technologies, including fog harvesting, dewing-condensation water harvesting, and adsorption-based water harvesting. Moreover, we examine hybrid water harvesting techniques that combine AWH with solar-driven desalination, highlighting promising material designs to fulfill dual functionality. Finally, we outline the remaining challenges and offer our insights to stimulate further breakthroughs in achieving a year-round full-day water supply. By advancing these technologies and overcoming existing limitations, we can make significant progress in alleviating water scarcity worldwide.","PeriodicalId":388,"journal":{"name":"Matter","volume":"12 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":18.9,"publicationDate":"2024-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142763900","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Rationally designing plasmonic nanostructures requires understanding how particle geometry impacts hot carrier reaction dynamics. Here we use liquid-phase transmission electron microscopy (LP-TEM) and an electron radiolysis-resistant solvent to visualize hot carrier-mediated silver deposition and gold nanorod (AuNR) reshaping. AuNRs grew primarily in the transverse direction and displayed tip sharpening and preferential growth at LSPR hotspots. <em>Ex situ</em> white-light illumination produced similar morphological and compositional changes, whereas radiolysis products did not. Growth dynamics relative to electron beam flux and AuNR orientation were consistent with numerical simulations of hot carrier generation. Isolating hot carrier-induced redox processes on AuNRs during LP-TEM enabled quantifying spatially varying hot electron reaction dynamics. This approach is expected to enable quantifying and visualizing a broad range of plasmonic carrier-mediated reactions.","PeriodicalId":388,"journal":{"name":"Matter","volume":"32 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":18.9,"publicationDate":"2024-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142763895","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, realizing fusion as a technically and economically viable energy source depends on developing and qualifying materials that can withstand the extreme environment inside a fusion power plant. This perspective seeks to engage the broader materials science community in this long-term effort. We first outline the principal materials challenges and research opportunities for fusion. Next, we argue that fusion is distinct from other energy applications with respect to materials, not just in the magnitude and complexity of the technical challenges but also in the present level of uncertainty in materials design requirements. To address this, we finally propose a research framework based on an iterative coevolution of materials science and fusion power plant design requirements.","PeriodicalId":388,"journal":{"name":"Matter","volume":"4 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":18.9,"publicationDate":"2024-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142763899","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
