In atomically thin two-dimensional (2D) materials, grain boundaries (GBs) are ubiquitous, displaying a profound effect on the electronic structure of host lattice. The random configuration atoms within GBs introduces an arbitrary and unpredictable local environment, which may hazard electron transport. Herein, by utilizing Pt single-atom chains with ultimate one-dimensional (1D) feature (width single atom length up to tens nanometers), we realized suture pathway at diversified transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs). Theoretical calculations reveal that construction sutures (SAS) prompts emergence states proximal Fermi level, effectively modulating transformation from semiconductivity metallicity. This underscores pivotal role SAS in reconfiguring pathway. Benefiting this, SAS-MoS2 emerges as excellent catalyst, exhibiting overpotential 41 mV 10 mA cm-2 Tafel slope 54 dec-1 hydrogen evolution reaction. Our results offer understanding conduction contributed ultraordered atomic arrangement innovative mechanisms for future potential catalysts optimized architecture.

Abstract High‐performance bulk graphite (HPBG) that simultaneously integrates superior electrical conductivity and excellent strength is in high demand, yet it remains critical challenging. Herein a novel approach introduced utilizing MOF‐derived nanoporous metal/carbon composites as precursors to circumvent this traditional trade‐off. The resulting graphite, composed of densely packed multilayered graphene sheets functionalized with diverse cobalt forms (nanoparticles, single atoms, clusters), exhibits unprecedented all directions (in‐plane: 7311 S cm⁻¹, out‐of‐plane: 5541 cm⁻¹) mechanical (flexural: 101.17±5.73 MPa, compressive: 151.56±2.53 MPa). Co nanoparticles act autocatalysts binders, promoting strong interlayer adhesion among highly graphitized layers via spark plasma sintering. nano‐interfaces between Co‐create bridges nanosheets, facilitating efficient electron migration enhanced stiffness the assembled nanocomposites. Leveraging these exceptional properties, practical demonstrations highlight immense potential robust material for applications demanding electromagnetic interference shielding heating. An innovative approach, which effectively decouples from paves way creation HPBGs tailored application sectors.
