A facile one-step strategy for anchoring defective CoNx single clusters on partly reduced graphene oxide (RGO) is constructed to significantly improve the catalytic performance of non-noble metal complexes toward oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). Sequent loading with trace amounts metal-free porphyrin and Co2+ in RGO can dramatically enhance both half-wave potential peak current density. Intriguingly, RGO/P/2Co cluster exhibits best ORR 0.834 V, extremely approaching that commercial Pt/C...
The harvesting of the energy stored in salinity gradient between seawater and river water by a membrane‐scale nanofluidic diode for sustainable generation electricity is attracting significant attention recent years.

We propose an asymmetric photonic crystal (PC) waveguide, formed by moving the PC cladding on one side of line defect along waveguide core. By adjusting structural parameters, we flatten slow-mode dispersion curve, exclude extreme points from flat band, and avoid unacceptably large induced points. obtain ultra-flat band with inflection point corresponding to a slow-light mode reduced distortion. utilize finite-difference time-domain method verify inflection-point ultraslow wave.

Moreover, investigate transversely confined field high quality factor, which both indicate that dispersionless slow wave can be generated in our guide.
