Synchronously Producing H and Purifying Methyl Orange-Polluted Water through the Reaction of an Al-GaInSn Alloy Plate and HO.

Hydrogen gas (H) as a fuel has the advantages of high energy density (122 kJ g) and zero carbon emissions. To meet the growing demand for H in the future, green, efficient, and convenient production technologies must be developed. The Al-HO reaction, which produces H by reacting aluminum (Al) with water (HO), is considered a rapid method for producing H.

Sn and Ge Complexes with Redox-Active Ligands as Efficient Interfacial Membrane-like Buffer Layers for p-i-n Perovskite Solar Cells.

Inverted perovskite solar cells with a p-i-n configuration have attracted considerable attention from the research community because of their simple design, insignificant hysteresis, improved operational stability, and low-temperature fabrication technology. However, this type of device is still lagging behind the classical n-i-p perovskite solar cells in terms of its power conversion efficiency. The performance of p-i-n perovskite solar cells can be increased using appropriate charge transport and buffer interlayers inserted between the main electron transport layer and top metal electrode.

Atomic understanding of the strain-induced electrocatalysis from DFT calculation: progress and perspective.

Catalyst activity affects the reaction rate, and an increasing number of studies have shown that strain can significantly increase the electrocatalytic activity. Catalysts such as alloys and core-shell structures can modulate their properties through strain effects. Reasonable simulation techniques can be used to predict and design the catalytic performance based on understanding the strain action mechanism.
