Nanocomposites reinforced with graphite platelets were compared to those functionalized sheets (FGS) prepared by partial pyrolysis of oxide. Melt dispersion in poly(ethylene-2,6-naphthalate) (PEN) was quantified using a range characterization techniques: electron microscopy, X-ray scattering, melt rheology, electrical conductivity, gas barrier, and mechanical properties. Conductivity percolation obtained as little 0.3 vol % FGS, whereas 3 required for graphite. The threshold concentrations...
The poor catalyst stability in acidic oxidation evolution reaction (OER) has been a long-time issue. Herein, we introduce electron-deficient metal on semiconducting oxides-consisting of Ir (Rh, Au, Ru)-MoO3 embedded by graphitic carbon layers (IMO) using an electrospinning method. We systematically investigate IMO's structure, electron transfer behaviors, and OER catalytic performance combining experimental theoretical studies. Remarkably, IMO with surface (Irx+; x > 4) exhibit low...

Because of the salient impact on performance oxygen evolution reaction (OER), surface dynamics precatalysts accompanying oxidation and dissolution catalytic components demands immense research attention.

To address this challenge, here, we present intricate design precatalysts, strategically followed by reconstruction treatment presence Fe water condition, which...
Abstract Lithium rich layered oxide xLi 2 MnO 3 ∙(1−x)LiMO (M = Mn, Co, Ni, etc.) materials are promising cathode for next generation lithium ion batteries. However, the understanding of their electrochemical kinetic behaviors is limited. In this work, phase separation and kinetics 0.5Li ∙0.5LiCoO with various Li domain sizes were studied. Despite having similar morphological, crystal local atomic structures, exhibited different behavior resulting in disparate transport kinetics. For first...
Noble-metal-oxide support catalysts have been demonstrated to be unique for electrocatalytic water oxidation in acidic media. Highly porous three-dimensional oxide supported can serve as an ideal platform confine ultrasmall metal on specific sites and modulate their reactivity, resulting the reduction of noble content catalyst by boosting mass activity. However, due poor control over morphology, geometric-driven shifts activity metal-oxide oxygen evolution reaction media not realized....
