Cu is considered as the most promising catalyst for electrochemical carbon dioxide reduction reaction (CO2RR) to produce C2+ hydrocarbons, but achieving high product selectivity and efficiency with long-term stability remains one of great challenges. Herein, we report a strategy realize CO2RR allowing stable catalytic properties by utilizing benefits oxygen-plasma-assisted nitrogen doping on CuO. It exhibited that defects such oxygen vacancies grain boundaries suitable are generated N2...
Seeing subtle nanoparticle differences A challenge in the fabrication of nanoparticles is that even for particles uniform size, there will still be a distribution atomic arrangements and surface capping ligands from one particle to next. Using liquid-cell transmission electron microscopy, Kim et al. reconstructed structure individual nanocrystals synthesized batch while they were solution. comparison multiple showed structural heterogeneity between interior outer shell nanoparticles, as well...
The modulating of the geometric and electronic structures metal-N-C atomic catalysts for improving their performance in catalyzing oxygen reduction reactions (ORRs) is highly desirable yet challenging. We herein report a delicate "encapsulation-substitution" strategy synthesis paired metal sites N-doped carbon.

Colloidal nanocrystals inherently undergo structural changes during chemical reactions. The robust structure-property relationships, originating from their nanoscale dimensions, underscore the significance of comprehending dynamic behavior in reactive media. Moreover, complexity and heterogeneity inherent atomic structures require tracking transitions individual at three-dimensional (3D) resolution. In this study, we introduce method time-resolved Brownian tomography to investigate temporal...
Achieving both robust extrapolation and physical interpretability in machine learning interatomic potentials (ML-IPs) for atomistic simulation remains a significant challenge, particularly data-scarce areas such as chemical reactions or complex, multicomponent materials at extreme conditions. Here, we present pairwise-decomposed physics-informed neural network (P2Net) that parametrizes an analytical bond-order potential (BOP) layer to decouple the energy contributions of atomic pairs. By...
We study removal of gas-phase organic methyl iodide (CH3I) from an ambient environment via adsorption onto triethylenediamine (TEDA) impregnated activated carbon (AC). First principles density functional theory (DFT) calculations and ab-initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) simulations were extensively utilized to understand the underlying mechanism for chemical reaction CH3I on surface. Our results suggest that energy shows substantial heterogeneity depending site, porosity AC, humidity. It is...
Using first-principles density functional theory calculations and ab initio molecular dynamic simulations, we propose Li10-xSnP2S12-xClx as a highly solid electrolyte for Li ion battery.

Machine-learning (ML) techniques have drawn an ever-increasing focus as they enable high-throughput screening and multiscale prediction of material properties. Especially, ML force fields (FFs) quantum mechanical accuracy are expected to play a central role for the purpose. The construction ML-FFs polymers is, however, still in its infancy due formidable configurational space composing atoms. Here, we demonstrate effective development using kernel functions Gaussian process organic polymer,...
Two-dimensional (2D) catalysts often show extraordinary activity at low mass loading since almost all their atoms are exposed to electrolyte. Palladium (Pd) holds great promise for catalyzing oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) but 2D Pd-based ORR catalyst has rarely been reported.
