Designing an excellent acidic and alkaline general-purpose hydrogen evolution electrocatalyst plays important role in promoting the development of energy field. Here, a feasible strategy is reported to use strongly coupled MoS2@sulfur molybdenum co-doped g-C3N4 (MoS2@Mo-S-C3N4) heterostructure with transferable active centers for catalytic reactions media. Research studies have shown that unsaturated S site at edge MoS2 N atom on Mo-S-C3N4 substrate are, respectively, reaction. Specifically,...

Atomic layer-by-layer molecular beam epitaxy (ALL-MBE) is a sophisticated technique to synthesize high-temperature superconductor (HTS) materials. ALL-MBE produces single-crystal HTS films with atomically smooth surfaces and interfaces, as well precise multilayer heterostructures engineered down single atomic layer level. This enables the fabrication of tunnel junctions, nanowires, nanorings, other devices interest. Our group has focused on synthesis materials science La2−xSrxCuO4 (LSCO),...
