Porous carbon-supported PtPdCu alloy heterostructures with a three-dimensional spatial network for efficient ethanol electro-oxidation.

Rationalizing efficient and economical electrocatalysts for ethanol electro-oxidation (EOR) is crucial for the development of sustainable energy sources. Herein, porous carbon-supported PtPdCu ternary alloy heterostructures (PtPdCu/C,  :  :  = atomic ratio) were constructed using Cu-BTC as the precursor. Benefiting from the advantages of its three-dimensional spatial network structure, flexible ternary alloy composition and strong metal-support interaction, the as-designed PtPdCu/C catalyst presents impressive EOR performance.

Simulating the Impact of Future Climate Change and Ecological Restoration on Trade-Offs and Synergies of Ecosystem Services in Two Ecological Shelters and Three Belts in China.

Development of suitable ecological protection and restoration policies for sustainable management needs to assess the potential impacts of future land use and climate change on ecosystem services. The two ecological shelters and three belts (TSTB) are significant for improving ecosystem services and ensuring China's and global ecological security. In this study, we simulated land use in 2050 and estimated the spatial distribution pattern of net primary productivity (NPP), water yield, and soil conservation from 2010 to 2050 under future climate change.
