We find that the addition of 1% Rh to Cu(111) increases the initial O2 dissociation rate by approximately 9-fold. CO poisoning experiments reveal that single Rh atoms activate O2 and facilitate the spillover of atomic oxygen to Cu sites. Scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and in situ X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) support this mechanism, showing enhanced surface oxygen near Rh atoms. A density functional theory (DFT)-based model demonstrates that Rh binds the O2 precursor 0.15 eV more strongly than Cu(111) and lowers the O2 dissociation barrier by 0.02 eV. Both single-crystal and nanoparticle experiments show that at low oxygen pressures, Rh enhances Cu oxidation, whereas at higher pressures, it inhibits deeper oxidation, as evidenced by in situ ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) spectra.","PeriodicalId":53121,"journal":{"name":"Chem Catalysis","volume":"9 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":9.4,"publicationDate":"2025-06-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144278478","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this work, we synthesized and characterized a panel of 95 enzymes from the N-terminal nucleophile hydrolase superfamily with 30%–50% pairwise amino acid identity. We found that nearly 40% of the enzymes had substantial nylon hydrolase activity, but there was no relationship between phylogeny and activity, nor any evidence of prior evolutionary selection for nylon hydrolysis. Several newly identified hydrolases showed substrate selectivity, generating up to 20-fold higher product titers with nylon-6,6 versus nylon-6. However, the yield was still less than 1%, necessitating further optimization before potential applications. Finally, we determined the crystal structure and oligomerization state of a nylon-6,6-selective hydrolase to elucidate structural factors that could affect activity and selectivity. These new enzymes provide insights into nylon hydrolase evolution and opportunities for analysis and engineering of improved hydrolases.","PeriodicalId":53121,"journal":{"name":"Chem Catalysis","volume":"37 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":9.4,"publicationDate":"2025-06-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144278479","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The main product, α-hydroxyglutaric acid, was typically produced in high yield (95%), with minor formation of γ-carboxyl butyrolactone (3%). Furthermore, the α-COOH group in the substrate enhanced the activity on Pd whereas inhibition occurred on oxophilic Ru. Finally, a two-step addition of hydrogen to α-KGA on Pd emerged as the most plausible surface reaction pathway. These findings provide a thorough understanding of aqueous-phase hydrogenation of activated α-ketoacids, which is useful for other biomass-derived oxygenates.","PeriodicalId":53121,"journal":{"name":"Chem Catalysis","volume":"51 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":9.4,"publicationDate":"2025-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144269268","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This work demonstrates a tandem process for ethylene oxide production from ethane, coupling ethane dehydrogenation and ethylene epoxidation, using solar irradiation as the sole energy source. The process employs photothermal tandem reactors, with oxygen introduced into the second reactor after dehydrogenation. Reaction temperatures were precisely controlled by modulating light intensity (∼940 K for dehydrogenation and ∼540 K for epoxidation). A NiLa/BN catalyst exhibited exceptional activity (152 mmol g−1 h−1) and stability for photocatalytic ethane dehydrogenation under sunlight, while the Ag-based catalyst facilitated the epoxidation reaction. The integrated system achieved 60% ethane conversion and 14% ethylene oxide yield. This study highlights the feasibility of using sunlight as a sustainable energy source for industrial chemical transformations, offering a potential way to reduce dependence on fossil fuels and decrease carbon emissions.","PeriodicalId":53121,"journal":{"name":"Chem Catalysis","volume":"15 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":9.4,"publicationDate":"2025-06-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144211603","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here, we sought to modify the catalyst of dispersed single-atom nickel (Ni) sites on an ultrathin nitrogen-doped carbon nanosheet (Ni–N–C) by using amino groups (Ni–N–C–NH2). The obtained Ni–N–C–NH2 catalysts exhibited a peak turnover frequency of 11.1 s−1 with >90% CO selectivity and ultrastable durability of 100 h of continuous operation and achieved two to three times greater current density than Ni–N–C. Operando spectroscopic evidence combined with theory studies suggested that the improved CO selectivity originates from the synergistic effect of the amino groups and Ni–N–C. The introduced amino groups with the surface property of the electron donor upshift the d-band center of Ni and favor CO2 capture and proton-coupled electron transfer, ultimately enabling highly efficient operation of the CO2RR on Ni–N–C catalysts.","PeriodicalId":53121,"journal":{"name":"Chem Catalysis","volume":"54 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":9.4,"publicationDate":"2025-06-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144202364","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
