The atomic and electronic structures of these materials can be significantly altered by external stimuli such as pressure. High-pressure techniques have been extensively utilized to deepen our understanding of structure-property relationships for materials, while also enabling emergent or enhanced properties. In this Feature Article, we review the transformative impact of high pressure on the chemical and physical properties of functional materials, including perovskite materials, low-dimensional metal halides, metal chalcogenides, metal oxides, and inorganic molecular crystals. By analyzing recent advancements and methodological approaches in high-pressure research, we provide insights into the mechanisms driving structural and property changes in these materials. We also emphasize the significance of translating the knowledge gained from high pressures to the design of new functional materials. Finally, we highlight the potential of high-pressure chemistry and nano-architectonics in advancing functional materials and discuss the future directions and challenges in this field.","PeriodicalId":67,"journal":{"name":"Chemical Communications","volume":"13 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2024-12-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142858171","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this review, we analyze the potential role of machine learning (ML), another enabler technology, in sustainable energy and SGDs. We review the use of ML in energy production and storage as well as in energy forecasting and planning activities and provide our perspective on the challenges and opportunities for the future role of ML. Although there are strong challenges for both sustainable energy supply (like conflict between the urgent energy needs and global warming) and ML applications (like high energy consumption in ML applications and risk of increasing inequalities among people and nations), ML may make significant contributions to sustainable energy efforts and therefore to the achievement of SDGs through monitoring and remote sensing to collect data, planning the worldwide efforts and improving the performance of new and more sustainable energy technologies.</p>","PeriodicalId":67,"journal":{"name":"Chemical Communications","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2024-12-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142862595","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In particular, carbon-supported SACs (CS-SACs) are excellent candidates for many energy storage and conversion applications, due to their maximum atomic efficiency, unique electronic and coordination structures, and beneficial synergistic effects between active catalytic sites and carbon substrates. In this review, we briefly review the atomic-level regulation strategies in optimizing CS-SACs for energy storage and conversion, including coordination structure control, nonmetallic elemental doping, axial coordination design, polymetallic active site construction. Then we summarize the recent progress of density functional theory studies on designing CS-SACs by the above strategies for electrocatalysis, such as hydrogen evolution reaction, oxygen evolution reaction, oxygen reduction reaction, CO2 reduction reaction, nitrogen reduction reaction, electrosynthesis of urea, and monovalent metal-sulfur batteries (Li-S and Na-S batteries). Finally, the current challenges and future opportunities in this emerging field are highlighted. This review will provide a helpful guideline for the rational design of the structure and functionality of CS-SACs, and contribute to the material optimizations in applications of energy storage and conversion.","PeriodicalId":67,"journal":{"name":"Chemical Communications","volume":"14 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2024-12-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142858167","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
