Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.In this paper, a built‐in electric field (BEF) strategy is proposed to fabricate NiFe‐LDH/antimonene heterostructure as bifunctional electrocatalysts for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). The formed BEF generates a local potential that reduces the potential for the formation of β‐NiOOH, thereby enabling ultra‐low ...

Energy optimization in ice hockey halls I. The system COP as a multivariable function, brine and design choices [PDF]
arXiv, 2012 This work is the first in a series of articles addressing the energy optimization in ice hockey halls. Here we adopt an analytical method, called functional optimization, to find which design and operating conditions maximize the Coefficient Of Performance of the entire cooling system (brine pumps and cooling tower), which we call ${\rm COP}_{sys ...

Tuning the Hydrogen Bond Network Inside the Helmholtz Plane for Industrial Hydrogen Evolution
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.The hydrogen bond network within the Helmholtz plane, a key component affecting the hydrogen evolution kinetics, remains far from having a consensus owing to the lack of fundamental understanding. Herein, it is discovered that the introduction of the atomic electric field generated by the weak Ru─Ga bonds can further improve the proportion of 4 ...

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.This study proposes a sustainable solution for rainwater‐driven energy harvesting by harnessing the intrinsic properties of lignin in wood. The first demonstration of an all‐wood tribonegative material for liquid–solid triboelectric nanogenerators is presented, eliminating the need for fluorine‐containing polymers and functional additives. Abstract The

An overview of the oil-brine interfacial behavior and a new surface complexation model
Scientific Reports, 2019 The few existing surface complexation models (SCM) for the brine-oil interface have important limitations: the chemistry of each crude oil is not considered, they cannot capture the water/non-polar hydrocarbons surface charge, the interactions between Na+

Chloride‐Mediated Electron Buffering on Ni‐Fe Anodes for Ampere‐Level Alkaline Seawater Electrolysis
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Utilizing abundant chloride ion (Cl−) of seawater, the small organic molecule (SOM) layer on the electrocatalyst surface is converted to SOM‐Cl layer. Meanwhile, the conjugated structure of SOM is modified. SOM‐Cl layer can effectively mitigate the damage caused by the highly oxidative environment.
