Relaxor Ferroelectricity Enables Enhanced Thermoelectric Performance in In2Se3‐Alloyed GeTe
A non‐equimolar In3+/Se2− alloying strategy creates Ge vacancies in GeTe, inducing relaxor ferroelectricity that broadens the low thermal conductivity window. Simultaneously, cubic phase stabilization broadens optimal electrical transport, achieving an average zT > 1.0 over 330–625 K.

A Molten Salt Extraction Method for Palladium Recovery via the CaPd2 Intermetallic Compound
A designed Ca → CaPd2 → Pd pathway enables acid–free palladium recovery in molten salt. Calcium alloying forms anionic CaPd2, which is selectively oxidized by iodine from CaI2 to yield high–purity metallic Pd. ABSTRACT To address palladium scarcity and the low efficiency of conventional recovery processes, this work presents a molten–salt extraction ...

I‐doping stabilizes the cubic phase of GeTe and generates “electron‐transparent, phonon‐blocking” grain boundary networks while inducing valence‐band convergence. This synergistic structural‐electronic design enables effective electron‐phonon decoupling, achieving an exceptional average zTave of ∼1.62, a peak zT of ∼2.2, and enhanced mechanical ...

Probing Electrocatalyst Design for Product Selectivity in CO2 Reduction
Selective CO2 electroreduction is controlled by catalyst structure, dynamic surface reconstruction, adsorbate interactions, and reaction microenvironment. This review summarizes Cu‐ and non‐Cu‐based catalysts, single‐atom and molecular systems, degradation pathways, and operando/computational strategies for steering CO2RR toward hydrocarbons ...

An “Interface Reactor” strategy boosts simulation stability by 2–3 orders of magnitude, enabling stable 100 ns molecular dynamics of electrode‐electrolyte interfaces. Distinct SEI formation mechanisms are revealed: mixed co‐formation in carbonates versus surface‐energy‐controlled NaF crystallization in ethers. Metadynamics simulations further elucidate
