The synthesis of coordination-controlled metal alloys is reported using a metallurgy-based alloy design and subsequent de-alloying process. The metallurgical alloy catalysts enable the control of metal active sites and steer CO2 electroreduction towards hydrocarbon or oxygenate production.

A robotic artificial intelligence (AI)-chemist is developed to synthesize oxygen-producing electrocatalysts from Martian meteorites, combining both automated experiments and theoretical simulations to identify the optimal synthetic formula for the catalyst.

Retrosynthetic analysis is used for the synthesis of high-entropy alloy nanoparticles. The strategy involves the design and synthesis of core–shell nanoparticle precursors which are annealed, giving the desired alloy.

The synthesis of isoreticular zeolite-like MOFs is achieved using a face-directed assembly strategy inspired by architecture techniques. The strategy combines a supermolecular building block approach with the use of various centring structure-directing agents.
