Monodisperse cobalt (Co) nanoparticles (NPs) were synthesized and stabilized against oxidation via reductive annealing at 600 °C. The stable Co NPs are active for catalyzing the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in 0.1 M KOH, producing a current density of 10 mA/cm2 an overpotential 0.39 V (1.62 vs RHE, no iR-correction). Their catalysis is superior to commercial Ir catalyst both activity stability. These also assembled into monolayer array on working electrode, allowing detailed study their...

Exploring novel 2D heterojunction photocatalysts with a wide spectral response and high active site exposure has been huge challenge. A small-sized catalyst dispersibility considered an ideal model for maximizing sites increasing atomic efficiency.

Ultrafine cobalt-doped (≈4 to 5 nm) enriched oxygen vacancies...
In the field of physics and materials science, discovery layer-polarized anomalous Hall effect (LP-AHE) stands as a crucial development. The current research paradigm is rooted in topological or inversion-asymmetric valleytronic systems, making such phenomenon rather rare. this work, universal design principle for achieving LP-AHE from inversion-symmetric single-layer lattices proposed. Through tight-binding model analysis, we demonstrate that by stacking into antiferromagnetic van der Waals...

Ti-based two-dimensional transition-metal carbides (MXenes) have attracted attention due to their superior properties and are being explored across various applications1,2. Despite versatile properties, superconductivity has never been demonstrated, not even predicted, for this important group of 2D materials. In work, we introduced an electrochemical intercalation protocol construct organometallic-inorganic hybrid MXenes achieved tunable in the metallocene-modified layered crystals. Through...
