Atomic‐Level CuOx‐CoOx‐Pd Interfacial Engineering Enables Hierarchical Synergy for High‐Efficiency ORR Pathways and Boosted Power Output in Alkaline Fuel Cells

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Atomically dispersed CuOx (CPCu‐1) forms isolated Cu–Ov sites that enable defect‐mediated O2 activation and fast electron/proton transfer via interfacial synergy. In contrast, thick CuOx clusters (CPCu‐10) promote a surface‐adsorption‐controlled pathway with intermediate accumulation, highlighting a mechanism switch from interfacial activation to ...

Reconstruction of Nickel Chalcogenide Induced Ruthenium Nanoparticles Embedding for Oxygen Evolution: Mechanism Switching Enables Enhanced Catalytic Activity

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Ru nanoparticles supported nickel chalcogens (Ru/NiX, X = S, Se), which enable fast electrooxidation to form an adaptively Ru embedding structure, featured by the compressed Ru─O─Ni bridge bonds at the Ru/NiOOH interface. On the one hand, Ru nanoparticles have a high affinity for capturing the OH−, consequently increasing the *O radical coverage.

Subsurface catalysis-mediated selectivity of dehydrogenation reaction

Science Advances, 2018
Subsurface Fe, Co, and Ni can promote the Pt-catalyzed propane dehydrogenation while exposed adversely on the surface. Progress in heterogeneous catalysis is often hampered by the difficulties of constructing active architectures and understanding ...

Graphene (0002)/Diamond (111) Heterojunction with High Piezoresistive Response

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Graphene/diamond heterostructures show promise as silicon alternatives for semiconductors, but high‐quality integration is challenging. Thermal electron irradiation enables covalent bonding; lonsdaleite acts as an intermediate. The heterostructure exhibits a high piezoresistive response (gauge factor −1149) associated with electron‐rich layers and ...

Synergistic Ni Single Atoms/Nanoparticles on CeO2 for High‐Performance and Durable SOFC Hydrogen Electrodes

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Combination of UiO‐66(Ce) metal organic framework‐templated synthesis and in‐situ exsolution creates porous CeO2‐based anode decorated with Ni single atoms/nanoparticles, synergy of which leads to enhanced electronic/ionic transport, accelerated H2 oxidation, improved stability, and finally outstanding peak power density among oxide‐based SOFC anodes ...

Hexagonal Boron Nitride on Liquid and Single‐Crystal Copper: Operando X‐Ray and Atomistic Insights into Growth and Interfacial Structure

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Liquid metal catalysts are widely assumed to promote high‐quality 2D growth. In this work, operando experiments and machine‐learning‐accelerated simulations show that hBN on Cu breaks this graphene‐derived expectation, where molten Cu promotes multilayer/3D growth, but re‐solidified single‐crystal Cu stabilizes monolayer formation.

Ultrafast Optoacoustics Reveals Intricate 3D Anisotropic Elasticity in Nanocrystalline Membranes

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Ultrafast optoacoustic spectroscopy combined with a Sagnac interferometer enables non‐contact, simultaneous characterization of thickness and the full three‐dimensional anisotropic elastic constants in freestanding nanocrystalline copper membranes. By capturing gigahertz Lamb waves and zero‐group‐velocity resonances followed by SAFE‐GA inversion, the ...

Optimized Antimony‐Doped Tin Oxide Thin Films With Enhanced Electrical Properties for Low‐Emissivity Architectural Coatings

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Antimony‐doped tin oxide (ATO) thin films were deposited by aerosol‐assisted chemical vapor deposition (AACVD) and systematically investigated to establish correlations between Sb doping level, structural properties and optoelectronic performance. Optimized films exhibited low sheet resistance, high carrier concentrations, and high visible transparency
