Redox-based memristive switching has been observed in many binary transition metal oxides and related compounds. Since, on the one hand, recent reports utilize TiO(2) for their studies of phenomenon and, other there is a long history electronic structure crystallographic under impact reduction oxidation processes, we selected this material as prototypical to provide deeper insight into mechanisms behind switching. In part I, briefly outline results historical electroforming resistive...

Abstract Water splitting is an environmentally friendly strategy to produce hydrogen but limited by the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Therefore, there urgent need develop highly efficient electrocatalysts. Here, NiFe layered double hydroxides (NiFe LDH) with tunable Ni/Fe composition exhibit corresponding dependent morphology, structure, and chemical states, leading higher activity better stability than that of conventional LDH‐based catalysts. The characterization data show low...

Resistively switching devices are considered promising for next-generation nonvolatile random-access memories. Today, such memories fabricated by means of "top–down approaches" applying thin films sandwiched between nanoscaled electrodes. In contrast, this work presents a "bottom–up approach" disclosing the first time resistive (RS) individual TiO2 nanoparticles (NPs).

Abstract Stabilization of single metal atoms is a persistent challenge in heterogeneous catalysis. Especially supported late transitions metals are prone to undergo agglomeration nanoparticles under reducing conditions. In this study, nitrogen‐rich covalent triazine frameworks (CTFs) used immobilize iridium complexes. Upon reduction at 400 °C, immobilized Ir(acac)(COD) on CTF does not form but transforms into highly active Ir atom catalyst. The resulting catalyst systems outperforms both the...
