It is proportional to the number of valence electrons but turns out to be quite insensitive to the detailed properties of the valence states like band gap, ionizity or band structure. This finding is corroborated by the fact that for energies above 100 keV, even εval of the oxides ...
A plasma can be defined as a partially ionized, quasineutral gas, consisting of about equal numbers of positive and negative charges, and a different number of un-ionized neutral molecules. An external source of energy is needed to sustain the plasma for a sufficiently long time. The simplest...
or “donor” species and creates a hydrogen bond between the donor and an acceptor species. Both donor and acceptor are often oxygen ions. Unlike other ions, a proton does not have its own electron cloud, so it is embedded in the valence shell of the donor.8A typical O–H bond distance...
at first. The decreasing number of valence electrons induced anti-bonding states with higher level and lower occupancy, leading to a stronger Os-H interaction. When valence electron number kept decreasing, the hydrogen adsorption strength converted to be affected by bonding state mainly near the Ferm...

number of hydrogen atoms per carbon atom can vary in hydrocar- bons owing to their ability to change from -bonds to -bonds. Hydrocarbons can be burnt completely by oxidation of carbon into CO 2 and of hydrogen into H 2 O; some can also be considered as a liquid storage medium for hy...
in which i, η, α, n, F, i0, T, and R respectively stand for the current density, overpotential, transfer coefficient, number of electrons exchanged, Faraday constant, exchange current density, temperature, and gas constant. One can simplify Eq. (10) on the basis of the anodic/cathodic...
The power of an element to combine with other elements is represented by an assigned number called the valence. For ions, the valence is equal to the electrical charge. For example, the valence for chlorine is 3p5, so it will easily gain one electron, and the resulting ion is Cl-. ...
On the one hand, to reduce the investment cost of the electrolyzer, high operating hours should be achieved; on the other, as the number of operating hours decreases, the impact of the electricity costs declines. This paper presents an innovative algorithm for a scalable hydrogen refuelling ...
Brewer intermetallic bonding theory interrelates the average electronic configuration of hypo–hyper-d-electronic combinations of transition metals with their crystal structure (bcc−dn−1s, hcp−dn−2sp, fcc−dn−3sp2, where n=d+s+p, the total number of valence electrons) [47], [48...
