Theoretical Design of a Single Cu Atom Supported on 1T-WS/Graphene Catalyst for Electrocatalytic Nitrate Reduction to Ammonia.

Electrochemical reduction of nitrate to ammonia (NORR) offers a promising strategy for renewable ammonia (NH) synthesis and wastewater treatment, but still suffers from limited activity and NH selectivity due to the lack of effective electrocatalyst. Here, we perform a four-steps screening strategy to screen high performance NORR catalyst by density functional theory calculations using 23 single transition metals atom doped on 1T-WS/graphene (TM@1T-WS/graphene) as candidates. The results show that Cu@1T-WS/graphene exhibits the highest NORR performance among 23 candidates with a low rate determining step energy barrier of 0.

To address these challenges, engineering nano-graphite-coated paper is presented as a sustainable and high-performance alternative for triboelectric layers.

The diagnostic value of contrast-enhanced ultrasound combined with clinicopathological features in microinvasive ductal carcinoma .

Background: Ductal carcinoma in situ with microinvasion (DCISM) represents 1% of all breast cancer cases and is arguably a more aggressive subtype of ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS). Preoperative evaluation of DCISM usually relies on core needle biopsy, and non-invasive evaluation methods are relatively limited. This study aims to explore the features of conventional ultrasound (US) and contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) in DCISM and to analyze the US and clinicopathological predictors of infiltrating components.

Tailoring tetrahedral and pair-correlation entropies of glass-forming liquids for energy storage applications at ultralow temperatures.

Aqueous solution experiences either crystallization or vitrification as being cooled, yet the mechanism of this bifurcation is confused. Since the glass-transition temperature T is much lower than the melting temperature, we herein propose an entropy-driven glass-forming liquid (EDGFL) as an attractive concept to develop anti-freezing electrolytes. The T is delicately modulated via regulating local structural orders to avoid the energy-driven ice crystallization and enter an entropy-driven glass transition, which can be theoretically explained by the competitive effect between tetrahedral entropy of water and pair correlation entropy related to ions.
