Metal nanoparticle (NP) cocatalysts are widely investigated for their ability to enhance the performance of photocatalytic materials; however, practical application is often limited by inherent instability under light irradiation. This challenge has catalyzed interest in exploring high-entropy alloys (HEAs), which, with increased entropy and lower Gibbs free energy, provide superior stability. In this study, 3.5 nm-sized noble-metal-free NPs composed a FeCoNiCuMn HEA successfully synthesized. With theoretic calculation experiments, electronic structure augmenting catalytic CO

Simultaneous promotion of N2 adsorption and NH3 desorption, which is referred to as breaking the scaling relationship, a major challenge in photocatalytic ammonia synthesis reaction. Herein, we have successfully developed an active hydrogen (H*)-switchable dynamic oxygen vacancy (OV) evolution strategy for solving this problem on MoO3–x decorated by Ru nanoparticles (Ru/MoO3–x). In strategy, H* drives cyclic OVs between initial state Ru/MoO3–x intermediate Ru/MoO3–xNy, exhibit strong capabilities respectively. The combination situ characterization DFT calculation reveals that interaction induces spontaneous formation whereas nitrogen species filling promotes spillover from MoO3–x, thereby accelerating hydrogenation lattice N desorption NH3. As result, 6.5 wt % achieves production rate 192.38 μmol·g–1·h–1, 2.68-fold higher than pristine MoO3–x. Besides, nitrate reduction nitric oxide synthesize further verified exhibited performance 370 220 This study opens avenue catalytic reaction with relationship.

Abstract The limited yield of H 2 production has posed a significant challenge in contemporary research. To address this issue, researchers have turned to the application surface plasmon resonance (SPR) materials photocatalytic generation. SPR, arising from collective electron oscillations, enhances light absorption and facilitates efficient separation transfer electron‐hole pairs semiconductor systems, thereby boosting efficiency. However, existing reviews predominantly focus on SPR noble metals, neglecting non‐noble metals semiconductors. In review, we begin by elucidating five different mechanisms, covering hot injection, electric field enhancement, scattering, plasmon‐induced resonant energy transfer, photo‐thermionic effect, which activity. Subsequently, comprehensive overview follows, detailing materials‐metals, semiconductors‐in production. Additionally, personal perspective is offered developing highly SPR‐based photocatalysis systems for solar‐to‐H conversion future. This review aims guide development next‐gen advancing solar‐to‐fuel conversion.
