New multicomponent equiatomic rare earth oxides (ME-REOs) containing 3-7 elements (Ce, Gd, La, Nd, Pr, Sm and Y) in proportions are synthesized using nebulized spray pyrolysis. All the systems crystallized as a phase pure fluorite type (Fm3[combining macron]m) structure spite of high chemical complexity. A nominal increase lattice parameter compared to CeO2 is observed all ME-REOs. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy performed on ME-REOs confirmed that constituent present 3+ oxidation state,...
Atomically dispersed catalysts, with maximized atom utilization of expensive metal components and relatively stable ligand structures, offer high reactivity selectivity. However, the formation atomic-scale metals without aggregation remains a formidable challenge due to thermodynamic stabilization driving forces. Here, top-down process is presented that starts from iron nanoparticles, using dual-metal interbonds (RhFe bonding) as chemical facilitator spontaneously convert Fe nanoparticles...
Abstract Photocatalysis is a promising and convenient strategy to convert solar energy into chemical for various fields. However, photocatalysis still suffers from low conversion efficiency. Developing state of the art photocatalysts with high efficiency cost huge challenge. Transition metal nitrides (TMNs) as class metallic interstitial compounds have attracted significant attention in photocatalytic applications. In fact, TMNs exhibit multifunctional properties systems. This review first...

Abstract Compared to traditional modulation by metal cations doping, oxyanions offer a higher possibility of mediating the performance electrocatalysts toward oxygen evolution reaction (OER) due their special polyanion configurations and large electronegativity. However, mechanism rules mediation remain poorly understood. Herein, an in situ electrochemical oxyanion (NO 3 − , PO 4 3− SO 2− or SeO ) steering strategy study variation OER for transition‐metal (TM = Ni, Fe, Co) hydroxide is...
There has been a recent paradigm shift in the computer animation industry with an increasing use of pre-recorded motion for animating virtual characters. A fundamental requirement to using capture data is efficient method indexing and retrieving motions. In this paper, we propose flexible, searching arbitrarily complex motions large databases. Motions are encoded keys which represent wide array structural, geometric and, dynamic features human motion. Keys provide representative search space...
Abstract Nitrogen-doped carbon materials with a large specific surface area, high conductivity, and adjustable microstructures have many prospects for energy-related applications. This is especially true N-doped nanocarbons used in the electrocatalytic oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) supercapacitors. Here, we report low-cost, environmentally friendly, large-scale mechanochemical method of preparing porous carbons (NPCs) hierarchical micro-mesopores area via ball-milling polymerization...
The oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is key to renewable energy technologies such as water electrolysis and metal-air batteries. However, the multiple steps associated with proton-coupled electron transfer result in sluggish OER kinetics catalysts are required. Here we demonstrate that a novel nitride, Ni2 Mo3 N, highly active catalyst outperforms benchmark material RuO2 . N exhibits current density of 10 mA cm-2 at nominal overpotential 270 mV 0.1 m KOH outstanding catalytic cyclability...
Abstract Semiconducting metal oxides (SMOXs) are used widely for gas sensors. However, the effect of ambient humidity on baseline and sensitivity chemiresistors is still a largely unsolved problem, reducing sensor accuracy causing complications calibrations.

A material's electronic properties and technological utility depend on its band gap value the nature of (i.e. direct or indirect). This gaps is notoriously difficult to compute from first principles. In fact it computationally intense approximate also rather time consuming. Hence prediction represents a challenging problem. Machine learning based approach offers promising efficient means address this Here we predict for perovskite oxides (ABO3) with elemental composition, ionic radius,...
