Independent Control Over the H/OH Adsorption: Breaking the Trade-Off Between H/OH-Adsorption and HO-Dissociation of Platinum-Group Metal Electrocatalyst for Hydrogen Evolution Reaction.

Platinum-group metals catalysts (such as Rh, Pd, Ir, Pt) have been the most efficient hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) electrocatalysts due to their moderate H adsorption strength, while the high HO-dissociation barrier in alkaline media restrains the catalytic performance of PGM catalysts. However, the optimization of the HO-dissociation barrier and *H/*OH binding energy toward their individual optima is limited due to the constraints of their scaling relationship on a single active site. Here, a coordinatively unsaturated "M─O─W" (M = Rh, Pd, Ir, Pt) active area is constructed, where H and OH species are anchored on Pt-group metal sites and inactive W sites for individual regulation.

Complete mitochondrial genome sequence for the Taiwan Blue Magpie (Passeriformes: Corvidae).

Taiwan Blue Magpie () is endemic to Taiwan and listed as threatened species protected by law. In this study, we first determined and described the complete mitochondrial genome of Taiwan Blue Magpie. The circle genome is 16,928 bp in length, and contains 13 protein coding, 22 tRNA, two rRNA genes, and one non-coding control region (CR).
