NH3 synthesis by the electrocatalytic N2 reduction reaction (NRR) under ambient conditions is an appealing alternative to currently employed industrial method-the Haber-Bosch process-that requires high temperature and pressure. We report single Mo atoms anchored nitrogen-doped porous carbon as a cost-effective catalyst for NRR. Benefiting from optimally density of active sites hierarchically frameworks, this achieves yield rate (34.0±3.6 μg h-1 mgcat.-1 ) Faradaic efficiency (14.6±1.6 %) in...
Abstract Single‐atom catalysts (SACs) have exhibited high activities for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) electrocatalysis in acidic or alkaline media, when they are used with binders on cathodes. However, to date, no SACs been reported HER neutral media. We demonstrate a potential‐cycling method synthesize catalyst comprising single Pt atoms CoP‐based nanotube arrays supported by Ni foam, termed PtSA‐NT‐NF. This binder‐free is centimeter‐scale and scalable. It directly as cathodes,...

Abstract The electroreduction of CO 2 to CH 4 is a highly desirable, challenging research topic. In this study, an electrocatalytic system comprising ultrathin MoTe layers and ionic liquid electrolyte for the reduction methane reported, efficiently affording with faradaic efficiency 83 ± 3% (similar best Cu‐based catalysts reported thus far) durable activity greater than 45 h at relatively high current density 25.6 mA cm −2 (−1.0 V RHE ). results obtained can facilitate on design other...
Mutation is the ultimate genetic source of evolution and biodiversity, but to what extent environment impacts mutation rate spectrum poorly understood. Past studies discovered mutagenesis induced by antibiotic treatment or starvation, its relevance importance long-term unclear because these severe stressors typically halt cell growth and/or cause substantial deaths. Here, we quantify in Saccharomyces cerevisiae whole-genome sequencing following accumulation each seven environments with...
Accurate knowledge of the mutation rate provides a base line for inferring expected rates evolution, testing evolutionary hypotheses and estimation key parameters. Advances in sequencing technology now permit direct estimates from close relatives. Within insects there have been three prior such estimates, two nonsocial (Drosophila: 2.8 × 10
Abstract Electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) is recognized as a promising way to generate clean energy. However, its large‐scale application requires the development of cheap and efficient catalysts. An increasing number reports have been published lately on HER over single atom catalysts (SACs) owing high catalytic activity, stability maximum utilization SACs, which final point endows noble‐metal with low costs. In this Review, we highlight electrochemical applications all...
Exploring novel materials with superior elastocaloric effect (eCE) is a central issue for the development of eCE refrigeration technique. In this work, we report giant adiabatic temperature change ΔTad −20.4 K in 〈100〉-textured all-d-metal Ni50Mn31.75Ti18.25 bulk alloy. The value, comparable to that sate-of-the-art Ni–Ti alloys, surpasses existing conventional Ni–Mn-based alloys. Investigations show attributed large lattice volume during martensitic transformation and negligible negative...
Development of highly active and stable electrocatalysts for overall water splitting is important future renewable energy systems. In this study, porous Mn-doped FeP/Co3 (PO4 )2 (PMFCP) nanosheets on carbon cloth are utilized as a efficient 3 D self-supported binder-free integrated electrode the oxygen evolution hydrogen reactions (OER HER) over wide pH range. Specifically, overpotentials 27, 117, 85 mV required PMFCP to attain 10 mA cm-2 HER in 0.5 m H2 SO4 , 1.0 phosphatebuffered saline...
Abstract Sodium metal has become one of the most promising anodes for next‐generation cheap and high‐energy‐density batteries; however, challenges caused by uncontrollable sodium dendrite growth fragile solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) restrict their large‐scale practical applications in low‐cost wide‐voltage‐window carbonate electrolytes. Herein, a novel multifunctional separator with lightweight high thinness is proposed, assembled cobalt‐based metal–organic framework nanowires (Co‐NWS),...
Aqueous zinc (Zn) batteries have been regarded as an alternative to lithium-ion due their high abundance, low cost, and higher intrinsic safety. However, the Zn plating/stripping reversibility, dendrite growth, continuous water consumption hindered practical application of aqueous anodes. Herein, a hydrous organic Zn-ion electrolyte based on dual solvent, namely hydrated Zn(BF4)2 salt dissolved in dimethyl carbonate (DMC) vinyl (EC) solvents [denoted Zn(BF4)2/DMC/EC], can address these...
Low-cost Fe-based Prussian blue analogues often suffer from capacity degradation, resulting in continuous energy loss, impeding commercialization for practical sodium-ion batteries. The underlying cause of decrease remains mysterious. Herein, we show that irreversible phase transitions, structural deactivation surface redox centres, and dissolution transition metal ions accumulate continuously during cycling. These undesirable changes are responsible massive destruction their morphology,...
Social hymenoptera, the honey bee (Apis mellifera) in particular, have ultra-high crossover rates and a large degree of intra-genomic variation rates. Aligned with haploid genomics males, this makes them potential model for examining causes consequences crossing over. To address why social insects such high crossing-over this, we constructed high-resolution recombination atlas by sequencing 55 individuals from three colonies an average marker density 314 bp/marker.We find over to be...
