Liu et al. demonstrate that Ni incorporation regulates the occupancy of Pt 5d antibonding orbitals, thereby simultaneously boosting H2 evolution and urea oxidation activities. This strategy reduces the electrical energy consumption for H2 production by 68.3%.

In article No. 100148, Huo et al. prepared TiO2/CdS S-scheme photocatalysts by in situ growth of CdS nanoparticles on TiO2 nanofibers, resulting in enhanced CO2 reduction performance and superior CH4 selectivity, with the underlying photocatalytic mechanism also elucidated.
