Despite the tremendous progress of coupling organic electrooxidation with hydrogen generation in a hybrid electrolysis, electroreforming raw biomass coupled to green has not been reported yet due rigid polymeric structures biomass. Herein, we electrooxidize most abundant natural amino biopolymer chitin acetate over 90% yield electrolysis. The overall energy consumption electrolysis can be reduced by 15% thermodynamically and kinetically more favorable oxidation water oxidation. In obvious...

Abstract Transition metal oxides hold great promise for lithium‐ion batteries (LIBs) and electrocatalytic water splitting because of their high abundance energy density. However, designing fabrication efficient, stable, power density electrode materials are challenging. Herein, we report rambutan‐like hollow carbon spheres formed by nanosheet decorated with nickel oxide (NiO) rich in vacancies (denoted as h ‐NiO/C) a bifunctional material LIBs oxygen evolution reaction (OER). When being used...

Abstract Alkaline water electrolysis (AWE) holds great promise for a truly sustainable energy future if it can be driven by renewable sources such as solar and wind. The main challenge arises from the serious partial loading issue when intermittent unstable is coupled to electrolyzers. An storage device mitigate this incompatibility between electrolyzer sources. Herein, an AWE photovoltaic (PV) through full cell of lithium‐ion battery (LIB) reservoir demonstrated (PV−LIB−AWE). Stable power...

Abstract Arbitrary disposal of plastic waste into landfills and oceans can disturb the ecological system even challenge human survival. Centralized recycling process only works for selected types plastics (e.g., polyethylene) with limited contribution (<10%), because high infrastructure requirement. Comparatively, photoreforming commodity fuels production is much more facile decentralizable, thus holds great potential to mitigate challenge. To this end, a fully solar powered...

Three-dimensional (3D) fluorescence imaging provides a vital approach for study of biological tissues with intricate structures, and optical sectioning structured illumination microscopy (OS-SIM) stands out its high speed, low phototoxicity spatial resolution. However, OS-SIM faces the problem signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) when using traditional decoding algorithms, especially in thick tissues. Here we propose Hilbert-transform space domain based high-low (HT-SHiLo) algorithm noise suppression...
