Small Methods, 2026
The development of efficient, scalable metal‐free catalysts is vital for sustainable chemical processes. Here, we report a tunable one‐step thermal synthesis of 2D/2D graphitic carbon nitride/reduced graphene oxide (g‐C 3 N 4 /RGO) nanohybrids and nitrogen‐doped RGO (N‐RGO) by varying the urea‐to‐GO mass ratio. Urea‐rich mixtures yield RGO‐intercalated g‐C 3 N 4 , while GO‐rich compositions produce N‐RGO. GO promotes amine condensation and acts as a structural scaffold for g‐C 3 N 4 growth, while urea serves as a g‐C 3 N 4 precursor, nitrogen dopant, and reducing agent. XRD, FTIR, and XPS analyses confirm sheet exfoliation and the formation of interfacial CN covalent bonds, evidencing strong coupling between g‐C 3 N 4 and RGO. BET and electrochemical impedance results reveal that catalytic enhancement arises primarily from interfacial electronic coupling and accelerated charge transfer rather than surface area effects. The g‐C 3 N 4 /RGO‐60% composite exhibits optimal coupling and achieves 100% conversion of 4‐nitrophenol to 4‐aminophenol within 3 minutes ( k = 1.33 min −1 ), outperforming pristine RGO and g‐C 3 N 4 by 66‐ and 33‐fold, respectively. N‐RGO exhibits high efficiency ( k = 0.94 min −1 ), attributed to enhanced catalytic sites from nitrogen doping. This scalable, low‐cost method enables precise tuning of structureproperty relationships, offering high‐performance metal‐free catalysts for both dark and light‐driven environmental remediation and sustainable organic transformations.
Dual-Functional Surface Engineering of Single-Crystal NMC Cathodes via Residue-to-Coating Conversion for Enhanced Interface Stability
Shadab Ali Ahmed, Tripti Agnihotri, Ashok Ranjan, Chia‐Yu Chang, Rehbar Hasan, et al.
Small, 2026
Nickel‐rich layered oxides, such as LiNi 0.83 Mn 0.06 Co 0.11 O 2 (NMC), are among the most promising cathode materials for high‐energy‐density lithium‐ion batteries. However, their practical implementation is limited by surface instability and the presence of residual lithium compounds, which degrade performance and complicate scalability. In this study, a dual‐functional surface modification strategy using lithium dihydrogen phosphate (LiH 2 PO 4 ) is presented. A wet impregnation procedure is used to transform the residual surface contaminants (LiOH, Li 2 CO 3 ) into an advantageous surface coating (Li 3 PO 4 ) on single crystal nickel‐rich (SCNMC) cathode materials rather than directly eliminating them through solvent washing process., as confirmed by titration and in situ Gas Chromotography‐Mas (GC‐MS), while the resulting ≈4 nm Li 3 PO 4 layer enhances structural stability, suppresses nickel migration, and mitigates electrolyte‐induced side reactions. Electrochemical tests reveal significantly improved cycling stability (72.96% capacity retention after 100 cycles at 0.2C compared to 18.25% for pristine SCNMC) and enhanced rate capability, supported by improved Li + diffusion kinetics. Synchrotron X‐ray Absorption Spectroscopy (XAS) and post‐mortem analyses further confirm the preservation of Ni oxidation states and reduced cross‐talk effects.

Small Methods, 2025
Defects in deposited lithium (Li) severely cause dendrite growth and promote reactions between Li and electrolytes, resulting in active Li loss in anode‐free Li metal batteries (AFLMBs). Herein, potassium underpotential deposition (K‐UPD) is systematically established to heal defective Li and create a K‐Cu bimetallic interface, facilitating uniform bulk Li deposition. The K‐UPD at a potential of ≈1.0 V, higher than the equilibrium potentials of bulk K⁺ (0.1 V) and Li⁺ (0.0 V), significantly lowers the nucleation barrier and mitigates Li dendrite growth due to the better lithiophilicity of K metal compared to Cu. Meanwhile, the higher surface mobility of K atoms than Li atoms enables K metal to heal defects and prevent reactions between Li and electrolytes. The lower adsorption energy (ΔE) of the K atoms (−1.56 eV) than that of Li atoms (0.032 eV) indicates favorable adsorption of the K atom, as confirmed by DFT calculations. As a result, Cu||Li cell containing 1.3 M LiFSI+0.2 M KFSI bimetallic electrolyte reaches >1600 h, while Cu||NMC532 full‐cell achieves a higher average Coulombic efficiency (avg. CE) of 99.6% than the cell with 1.5 M LiFSI electrolyte (≈98.2%) after the 100th cycle. This work offers insights into the K‐UPD mechanism for enhancing interface stability and healing defects in deposited Li.

Heterogeneous Interfaces of Ni3Se4Nanoclusters Decorated on a Ni3N Surface Enhance Efficient and Durable Hydrogen Evolution Reactions in Alkaline Electrolyte

Journal of the American Chemical Society, 2025
Transition metal selenides (TMSes) have been identified as cost-efficient alternatives to platinum (Pt) for the alkaline hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) owing to their distinct electronic properties and excellent conductivity. However, they encounter challenges such as sluggish water dissociation and severe oxidative degradation, requiring further optimizations. In this study, we developed a dual-site heterogeneous catalyst, Ni3Se4–Ni3N, by decorating Ni3Se4 nanoclusters on a Ni3N substrate. This catalyst design promoted significant interfacial electronic interactions, modulated electronic structures, and enhanced the adsorption of the intermediates. Various spectroscopic analyses and theoretical calculations revealed that the nitride surfaces improved water adsorption and dissociation, enriching the surface with adsorbed hydrogen (H*) atoms, while the Se sites facilitated hydrogen coupling and subsequent release of H2. Following a hydrogen spillover mechanism, the surface-adsorbed hydrogen atoms were transferred to nearby electron-dense selenide sites for H2 formation and release. Consequently, the optimized catalyst demonstrated improved HER activity, requiring only an ∼60 mV overpotential at 10 mA cm–2 current density and maintained stability under higher potential conditions.
