Lower-cost thermoelectrics Thermoelectric materials convert heat to electricity, making them attractive for harvesting or cooling applications. However, many high-performance are made of expensive toxic materials. He et al. found that a material composed primarily tin and sulfur could be optimized have relatively good thermoelectric properties. Introducing about 10% selenium sulfide helped tune these properties by electronic band manipulation. This is step toward more earth-abundant, less...
Substituting the oxygen evolution reaction by urea oxidation (UOR) is thermodynamically more favorable for energy-saving hydrogen production. However, UOR suffers from sluggish kinetics due to its complex six-electron transfer processes combined with conversion of complicated intermediates. Herein, LaNiO3–NiO heterojunctions successfully constructed accelerate UOR. Systematic experimental investigation and theoretical calculation endorse that self-driven local charge redistribution takes...
