Atmosphere-driven metal-support synergy in ZnO/Au catalysts for efficient piezo-catalytic hydrogen evolution by Di Wu, Yingxin He, Chi Lin, Bing Li, Jiangping Ma, Lujie Ruan, Yajie Feng, Chaogang Ban, Junjie Ding, Xiaoxing Wang, Danmei Yu, Li-Yong Gan, Xiaoyuan Zhou

“…While the enhancement of piezo-catalytic performance through metal-support interactions is well-documented, the critical influence of the synthesis atmosphere during metal-loaded piezo-catalyst preparation has been a notable gap in the field. To this end, we systematically investigate how different atmospheric conditions during the synthesis of catalysts—without gas flow or with Ar, N2 and O2—affect metal dispersion, oxidation states, piezo-carrier dynamics, and electronic structure, and subsequently shape the metal-support interactions and piezo-catalytic activity. …”
