Record volumetric activities of oxygen electroreduction in partly packing graphene/AgTCNQ electrodes
Carbon Trends, 2023 Volumetric activity is the key to success in many space-constrained electrochemical devices. However, the state-of-the-art volumetric activities for oxygen electroreduction to hydrogen peroxide only achieve up to 30.8 mg cm−3 h−1. This is attributable to

Bioinspired inhibition of aggregation in metal-organic frameworks (MOFs)
iScience, 2023 Summary: Different from traditional procedures of using solid stabilizers like polymers and surfactants, here we demonstrate that water, as a very “soft” matter, could function as a “spacer” to prevent the aggregation of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs ...

Metal‐organic framework (MOF) thickness control for carbon dioxide electroreduction to formate
Carbon Neutralization, 2023 Decreasing particle size (like thickness) is a common strategy to enhance the activities of catalysts. In this work, we have synthesized two coppers, which are bismuth‐based metal‐organic framework (CuBi‐MOF) catalysts with different thicknesses (134.8 ...

Assessment of Soft Power Strategies: Towards an Aggregative Analytical Model for Country-Focused Case Study Research [PDF]
, 2016 The paper advances a realist analytical model for case studies of national soft power policies. First, it argues that for the purposes of realist analysis, a soft power policy must be considered as a rational strategy pursued under the conditions of ...
