Cross-view geo-localization (CVGL) aims to determine the capture location of street-view images by matching them with corresponding 2D maps, such as satellite imagery. While recent bird's eye view (BEV)-based methods have advanced this task by addressing viewpoint and appearance differences, the existing approaches typically rely solely on either OpenStreetMap (OSM) data or satellite imagery, limiting localization robustness due to single-modality constraints. This paper presents a novel CVGL method that fuses OSM data with satellite imagery, leveraging their complementary strengths to enhance localization robustness.

Pt-based intermetallics are regarded as highly efficient electrocatalysts for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). However, Pt-based intermetallics with different Pt: M atomic ratios have different atomic arrangements and crystal structures, which will change the electronic structure and coordination environment of Pt, thus affecting the electrocatalytic activity. In this work, we prepared L1-PtCo and L1-PtCo intermetallic catalysts by modulating the molar ratio of Pt and Co precursors using a thermal annealing method.

Nitrogen-doped carbon is considered one of the most promising oxygen reduction catalysts due to its low cost and high activity, however, it still falls short of Pt/C. In this study, we report a strategy for the preparation of highly reactive N-doped hierarchical porous carbon by primary pyrolysis using zinc acetate as a stand-alone zinc source and amino-rich reactants as carbon and nitrogen sources to introduce Zn-N structures into mesoporous structures generated by the hard template method using the strong coordination of zinc and amino groups. Benefited from the simultaneous optimization of the hierarchical porous structure and nitrogen-doping, the half-wave potential of Zn(OAc) -DCD/HPC is as high as 0.
