Developing highly efficient, low-cost oxygen reduction catalysts, especially in acidic medium, is of significance toward fuel cell commercialization. Although pyrolyzed Fe-N-C catalysts have been regarded as alternatives to platinum-based catalytic materials, further improvement requires precise control the Fe-Nx structure at molecular level and a comprehensive understanding site ORR mechanism on these materials. In this report, we present microporous metal–organic-framework-confined...

Abstract The applications of the most promising Fe—N–C catalysts are prohibited by their limited intrinsic activities. Manipulating Fe energy level through anchoring electron‐withdrawing ligands is found effective in boosting catalytic performance. However, such regulation remains elusive as only uncontrollably introduced oweing to energetically unstable nature. Herein, we report a rational manipulation strategy for introducing axial bonded O sites, attained hexa‐coordinating with oxygen...
Abstract Single‐atom catalysts (SACs) are attracting widespread interest for the catalytic oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), with Fe−N x SACs exhibiting most promising activity. However, Fe‐based suffer serious stability issues as a result of oxidative corrosion through Fenton reaction. Herein, using metal‐organic framework an anchoring matrix, we first time obtained pyrolyzed Cr/N/C ORR, where atomically dispersed Cr is confirmed to have Cr−N 4 coordination structure. The catalyst exhibits...
<title>Abstract</title> The rapid magnetic recovery process (MRP) after photoexcitation is crucial for efficient information recording in magnets but often impeded by insufficient spin flip channels. Using time-domain <italic>ab initio</italic> nonadiabatic molecular dynamics including spin-orbital coupling (SOC), we investigate MRP a CrI<sub>3</sub> ferromagnetic monolayer and find that defects can accelerate this process. In defect-free CrI<sub>3</sub>, slow (400 fs) due to weak SOC...
Many experiments have shown that three-dimensional-confined grain refinement (GR) textures in phase-change memory reduce power consumption and improve endurance performance. However, a lack of knowledge on the GR mechanisms their influence device performances challenges designs concurrently enhance comprehensive using same impurity-doped strategy. Here, we experimentally observe dramatic carbon-doped Ge2Sb2Te5 (GST), which also presents reduced enhanced performances. We provide low evidence...
While alloy design has practically shown an efficient strategy to mediate two seemingly conflicted performances of writing speed and data retention in phase-change memory, the detailed kinetic pathway alloy-tuned crystallization is still unclear. Here, we propose hierarchical melt coordinate bond strategies solve them, where former stabilizes a medium-range crystal-like region latter provides rule stabilize amorphous.

Metalenses can achieve diffraction-limited focusing via localized phase modification of the incoming light beam. However, current metalenses face to restrictions on simultaneously achieving large diameter, numerical aperture, broad working bandwidth and structure manufacturability. Herein, we present a kind composed concentric nanorings that address these using topology optimization approach. Compared existing inverse design approaches, computational cost our method is greatly reduced for...
Ningxiang pigs exhibit a diverse array of fatty acids, making them an intriguing model for exploring the genetic underpinnings acid metabolism. We conducted genome-wide association study using dataset comprising 50,697 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and samples from over 600 pigs. Our investigation yielded novel candidate genes linked to five saturated acids (SFAs), four monounsaturated (MUFAs), polyunsaturated (PUFAs). Significant associations with SFAs, MUFAs, PUFAs were found 37,...
