Abstract

The Cover Feature illustrates the use of a spinning nanocatalyst ensemble to create a vortex-like hydrodynamic flow that actively pulls reactants towards the catalyst for efficient catalysis. In their Research Article, N. A. B. Mohamed-Ibrahim, S. Kheng Boong et al. demonstrate the design of a magnetic-responsive interface formed between a nanocatalyst and the reaction solution to accelerate reactant delivery across the diffusion barrier. The dynamic nanocatalyst-liquid interactions consequently drive strong and directional mass transfer to boost reaction kinetics and molecule transfer coefficient by at least 10-fold and 30-fold, respectively, compared to traditional nanocatalytic approaches. By manipulating molecule transfer beyond the diffusion limit, our design potentially tackles the diffusion barrier present on virtually all heterogeneous catalysts and guides the future design of efficient nanocatalysis for diverse energy, environmental, and chemical applications. More information can be found in the Research Article by N. A. b. Mohamed-Ibrahim, S. Kheng Boong et al..
