Overcoming limitations in dual photoredox/nickel-catalysed C–N cross-couplings due to catalyst deactivation

Nature Catalysis, Published online: 06 July 2020; doi:10.1038/s41929-020-0473-6Dual nickel/photoredox catalysis is a promising alternative for palladium-catalysed cross-couplings, but suffers from limitations. Now, the substrate scope and reproducibility of this method are improved by avoiding catalyst deactivation and strategies to achieve the latter...

Selective electrocatalysis imparted by metal–insulator transition for durability enhancement of automotive fuel cells

Nature Catalysis, Published online: 29 June 2020; doi:10.1038/s41929-020-0475-4The stability of polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells is limited by the degradation of the cathode catalyst during repetitive start-up/shut-down events — a parasitic oxygen reduction reaction on the anode causes an instantaneous potential jump at the cathode. The issue...

Molecular-level insights on the reactive facet of carbon nitride single crystals photocatalysing overall water splitting

Nature Catalysis, Published online: 29 June 2020; doi:10.1038/s41929-020-0476-3Unlike with inorganic photocatalysts, the facet-dependent reactivity of conjugated polymers remains elusive. Now, the authors provide molecular-level insights on the reactive facets of crystalline poly(triazine imide) intercalated with LiCl and achieve a remarkable improvement...

Chance emergence of catalytic activity and promiscuity in a self-replicator

Nature Catalysis, Published online: 26 June 2020; doi:10.1038/s41929-020-0463-8In the development of chemical complexity—and the transition into biology—developing catalytic functionality is essential. Here the authors report the emergence of catalytic activity for two separate reactions (including one demonstrating a positive feedback on replication)...
