Abstract Developing cost effective electrocatalysts with high oxygen evolution reaction (OER) activity is essential for large‐scale application of many electrochemical energy systems.

Abstract Most contemporary X‐ray detectors adopt device structures with non/low‐gain energy conversion, such that a fairly thick photoconductor or scintillator is required to generate sufficient X‐ray‐induced charges, and thus numerous merits for thin devices, as mechanical flexibility high spatial resolution, have be compromised. This dilemma overcome by adopting new high‐gain concept of heterojunction phototransistor. In contrast conventional detectors, phototransistors allow both...
