The oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is the bottleneck limiting process of water splitting. OER involves recombination from diamagnetic singlet state OH or H2O to paramagnetic triplet O2. spin conservation for oxygenated intermediates must play an important role in OER. However, dynamic mechanism magnetic field-induced polarization still its infancy. Herein, based on spin-coupling interaction iron group elements, three typical layered double hydroxides (LDHs) were constructed study...

Abstract Compressive strain, downshifting the d -band center of transition metal oxides, is an effective way to accelerate sluggish kinetics oxygen evolution reaction (OER) for water electrolysis. Here, we find that anisotropic thermal expansion can produce compressive strains IrO 6 octahedron in Sr 2 4 catalyst, thus its d- band center. Different from previous strategies create constant crystals, thermal-triggered be real-timely tuned by varying temperature. As a result strain accelerating...

Abstract 2D nanomaterials are well suited for energy conversion and storage because of their thickness‐dependent physical chemical properties. However, current synthetic methods translating materials from the laboratory to industry cannot integrate both advantages liquid‐phase method (i.e., solution processibility, homogeneity, massive production), gas‐phase high quality large lateral size). Here, inspired by Chinese Sugar Figure Blowing Art, a rapid “gel‐blowing” strategy is proposed mass...

Abstract The electrochemiluminescence (ECL) is generally emitted via radiative transition of singlet or triplet excited state (S 1 T ). Herein, an ECL mechanism with the transitions both S and black phosphorus quantum dots (BPQDs) found, arginine (Arg) modification strategy proposed to passivate surface oxidation defects BPQDs, which could modulate states for enhancing efficiency BPQDs. Arg leads greater spatial overlap highest lowest occupied molecular orbitals, spectral shift transitions,...

Abstract Catalytic conversion of lithium polysulfides (LiPSs) is a crucial approach to enhance the redox kinetics and suppress shuttle effect in lithium–sulfur (Li–S) batteries. However, roles typical heterogenous catalyst cannot be easily identified due its structural complexity. Compared with distinct sites single atom catalysts (SACs), each active site (SSCs) identical uniform their spatial energy, binding mode, coordination sphere, etc. Benefiting from well‐defined structure, iron...

Metal oxides with surface protonation exhibit versatile physical and chemical properties suitable for use in many fields. Here, we develop an electrochemical route to directly protonize the physically assembled oxide particles, such as TiO2, Nb2O5, WO3, a Na2SO4 neutral electrolyte, which is result of electrochemically induced oxygen vacancies reacting water molecules. With no need electric connection among particles or between conductive substrate, follows bottom-up particle-by-particle...

Intrinsic magnetic topological insulators (MTIs) MnBi2Te4 and MnBi2Te4/(Bi2Te3)n are expected to realize the high-temperature quantum anomalous Hall effect (QAHE) dissipationless electrical transport. Extensive efforts have been made on this field but there is still lack of ideal MTI candidate with ordering ferromagnetic (FM) ground state.
