Abstract ( 5 ) PDF (2267KB) ( 5 ) The construction of oxide/metal composite catalysts is a competent means of exploiting the electronic interactions between oxide/metal to enhance catalytic activity. In this work, we construct a novel hetero-geneous composite (Ru/HfO2-NC) with Ru/HfO2 nano...
The work described in this study was performed within the Scenarios and Modelling Joint Activity (see “Methods” and Note #2 in the Supplementary Information) of eight large collaborative energy research programmes of major Swiss universities, the Swiss Competence Centres for Energy Research (SCCERs)...
Abstract ( 3 ) PDF (2671KB) ( 3 ) The hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and dendrite growth associated with Zn anode have become the main bottlenecks for the further development of zinc ion batteries (ZIBs). In this work, the electrochem-ical activity of H3O+ is inhibited by the supramo...
any clusters implies that energy poverty declines faster in some economies rather than the other ones. This, however, enables policymakers to design country-specific policy measures and initiatives rather than uniform policies which may be ineffective for some states. In this framework, the purpose of...
Improving lithium anode cycling has long relied on links between electrolyte bulk properties and the interphase formed on lithium, with little understanding of the transformation process. A study reveals factors governing structural changes around lithium ions at the onset of metal plating, illuminating ...
According to the data presented in Table 9, the highest priority (mean rank = 4.90) was assigned to the activity of drying clothes using a dryer machine, indicating a negative attitude towards energy conservation. Following that, the activities of switching off the light when leaving a room (...
Offshore wind energy has the potential to play a critical role in fostering a renewable energy transformation in the United States. This owes to its massive technical potential, strategic location near densely populated coastlines, and—relative to onshore wind and solar—high capacity factors and ...
Operando real-space imaging of a structural phase transformation in the high-voltage electrode LixNi0.5Mn1.5O4 Discontinuous solid-solid phase transformations are crucial for battery electrode performance. Here, authors use operando Bragg Coherent Diffractive Imaging to visualize Li-rich phase nucleation an...
A. tumefaciens facilitates the entry of genes into the nucleus and their fusion with the host DNA, offering a precise transformation of plant cells. Although naturally occurring in dicot species, specific strains of A. tumefaciens can infect monocots like maize, sorghum, and switchgrass (Sticklen ...
By inducing a transformation in a manganese-rich cation-disordered rocksalt, partially ordered spinels with nanomosaic domains of 3–7 nm in size can be obtained, which exhibit high energy density and rate capability at an average particle size of 3–5 µm. ...
