Atomic Magnetic Heating Effect Enhanced Hydrogen Evolution Reaction of Gd@MoS ₂ Single‐Atom Catalysts (Small 4/2023)

Atomic-Level Magnetic Heating Effect In article number 2206155, Cailei Yuan and co-workers report a single-atom catalyst (Gd@MoS2) with long range room temperature ferromagnetic spin alignment that exhibits significant improvements in catalytic kinetics under alternating magnetic field (AMF) excitation. This increase in catalytic activity is attributed to the atomic-level magnetic heating effect resulting from the spin flip (canting) of the Gd single-atom (catalytically active centers) due to AMF action. It provides a new way to further improve the performance of single-atom catalysts.
