Researchers have constructed a molecular-level proton acceptor on the surface of perovskite to overcome the rate-limiting of proton transfer in the anodic oxygen evolution reaction (OER), and increase the efficiency of water splitting. This novel strategy has great potential for use in practical high-current industrial water electrolysis devices and applications.
Researchers demonstrate a flexible nanocomposite films using an ascidian-derived cellulose nanofiber matrix and carbon fiber fillers. The prepared films demonstrate excellent anisotropic in-plane heat conduction and the carbon fiber fillers inside are reusable.
An international team involving chemists, physicists and materials scientists implements protection/deprotection strategies for the on-surface synthesis of technologically prominent graphene nanostructures.
Researchers propose an optical encryption scheme is proposed based on spatial multiplexing metasurface, which depends on the combination of holographic technology and single pixel imaging technology.
