Low-dimensional non-metal catalysts: principles for regulating p-orbital-dominated reactivity

Abstract Activation of p-block elements to replace the rare and precious transition metals for renewable energy applications is highly desirable. In this review, we go over recent experimental and theoretical progress on the low-dimensional non-metal materials for clean energy production, including...
