Oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and oxygen evolution (OER) are essential reactions for energy-storage -conversion devices relying on electrochemistry. High-performance, nonprecious metal-based hybrid catalysts developed from postsynthesis integration of dual-phase spinel MnCo2O4 (dp-MnCo2O4) nanocrystals with nanocarbon materials, e.g., carbon nanotube (CNT) nitrogen-doped reduced graphene oxide (N-rGO). The synergic covalent coupling between dp-MnCo2O4 nanocarbons effectively enhances both...

Abstract Epsilon‐near‐zero (ENZ) materials, exhibiting unique physical characteristics such as near‐zero refraction, have aroused extensive interest and exhibit great potentials in novel applications of perfect absorbers, high‐harmonic generation, nonlinear optical response. Here, for the first time, magnetic‐driven broadband ENZ materials are designed by fabricating polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)/Ni@carbon nanotubes (CNTs) films. Dielectric properties including real permittivity ( ɛ ′), imaginary...
