Abstract Pt/CeO 2 catalysts with various Pt loadings were prepared by a conventional incipient wetness impregnation method that employed CeO cubes (c‐CeO ), rods (r‐CeO and octahedra (o‐CeO ) as the support Pt(NH 3 4 (NO metal precursor. Their structures catalytic activities in CO oxidation excess O preferential of H ‐rich gas (CO‐PROX) studied, strong morphology effects observed. The impregnated precursor interacts more strongly than octahedra, reduction/decomposition on is easier cubes....
Abstract Twisted bilayer graphene (tBLG) has recently attracted growing interest due to its unique twist-angle-dependent electronic properties. The preparation of high-quality large-area with rich rotation angles would be important for the investigation angle-dependent physics and applications, which, however, is still challenging. Here, we demonstrate a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) approach tBLG using hetero-site nucleation strategy, which enables second layer at different site from that...
Mobile microrobots, which can navigate, sense, and interact with their environment, could potentially revolutionize biomedicine environmental remediation. Many self-organizing microrobotic collectives have been developed to overcome inherent limits in actuation, sensing, manipulation of individual microrobots; however, reconfigurable robust transitions between behaviors are rare. Such systems that perform multiple functions advantageous operate complex environments. Here, we present a...
Abstract The availability of graphene and other two-dimensional (2D) materials on a wide range substrates forms the basis for large-area applications, such as integration with silicon-based technologies, which requires silicon outperforming carrier mobilities. However, 2D were only produced limited archetypal by chemical vapor deposition approaches. Reliable after-growth transfer techniques, that do not produce cracks, contamination, wrinkles, are critical layering onto arbitrary substrates....

Periodic mesoporous organosilica (PMO) with polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) air pockets integrated into the pore walls has been prepared by a template-directed, evaporation-induced self-assembly spin-coating procedure to create hybrid POSS-PMO thin film. A 10-fold increase in porosity of film compared reference POSS is achieved incorporating ∼1.5 nm pores. The increased results decrease dielectric constant, k, which goes from 2.03 1.73
CuOx based junctions e.g. CuOx–TiO2 have been demonstrated to be very effective in photocatalytic H2 production, but the active component at junction is less understood. We herein report that an as-prepared photocatalyst undergoes situ restructuring process during production under solar light irradiation form Cu2O–TiO2 interfacial structure on surface. These results unambiguously demonstrate Cu2O copper species photocatalysts.

Dynamic self-assembled material systems constantly consume energy to maintain their spatiotemporal structures and functions. Programmable self-assembly translates information from individual parts the collective whole. Combining dynamic programmable in a single platform opens up possibilities investigate both types of simultaneously explore synergy. This task is challenging because difficulty finding suitable interactions that are dissipative programmable. We present self-assembling system...
