GIWAXS experimental methods at the NFPS-BL17B beamline at Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility.

The BL17B beamline at the Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility was first designed as a versatile high-throughput protein crystallography beamline and one of five beamlines affiliated to the National Facility for Protein Science in Shanghai. It was officially opened to users in July 2015. As a bending magnet beamline, BL17B has the advantages of high photon flux, brightness, energy resolution and continuous adjustable energy between 5 and 23 keV.

[MWO] clusters: unprecedented central heteroatoms atomically dispersed in the eight coordination state bridging the 1 : 12 polyoxometalate family of Keggin and Silverton.

A general synthetic protocol is developed to afford a series of [MW12O44] (M = Ni2+, Co2+ and Fe3+) clusters with diverse central heteroatoms, by employing [W12O44]16- as the structure-directing precursor. The structures of the [MW12O44] clusters are definitively confirmed by single crystal X-ray diffraction (XRD). The central heteroatoms are monodispersed and capture the "empty" cavity of [W12O44]16- with an 8 coordination number state, as demonstrated by the combination of single crystal structure extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) fitting analysis and wavelet transform EXAFS (WTEXAFS).

High performance platinum single atom electrocatalyst for oxygen reduction reaction.

For the large-scale sustainable implementation of polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells in vehicles, high-performance electrocatalysts with low platinum consumption are desirable for use as cathode material during the oxygen reduction reaction in fuel cells. Here we report a carbon black-supported cost-effective, efficient and durable platinum single-atom electrocatalyst with carbon monoxide/methanol tolerance for the cathodic oxygen reduction reaction. The acidic single-cell with such a catalyst as cathode delivers high performance, with power density up to 680 mW cm at 80 °C with a low platinum loading of 0.
