A novel type of the frequency-tunable oscillator based on simultaneous generation of the forward and opposite waves at the same frequency, but at different cyclotron harmonics, is proposed. A spatially periodic helical electron beam allows for strong coupling of the waves. The opposite wave provides the broadband feedback and electron bunching, whereas the forward wave amplifies the arising signal and withdraws the rf power from the interaction region. A 15% efficiency and 5% frequency bandwidth have been achieved in the first experiment.

To address the limitations of carbon nitride in photocatalysis, we propose constructing a three-dimensional interwoven SiC/g-CN composite structure. Utilizing the strong microwave-thermal conversion characteristics of SiC whiskers, localized "hot spots" are generated, which induce rapid thermal gradients, promoting rapid polymerization of urea and in situ formation of the interwoven network. This unique structure strengthens the interaction between these two components, creates multiple electron transport pathways, enhances CO adsorption, and effectively improves charge separation while reducing photogenerated carrier recombination.

Electroreduction of CO to CO represents a highly promising way for artificial carbon cycling, but obtaining high selectivity over a wide potential window remains a challenge due to the sluggish CO generation and diffusion kinetics. Here we report an integration of long-range P modified bismuth atomic site on an ordered macroporous carbon skeleton with mesoporous "wall" (MW-BiN-POMC) for efficient electroreduction of CO. In-depth in situ investigations with theoretical computations reveal that the incorporation of long-range P atom is able to strengthen the orbital interaction between the C 2p of CO and Bi 6p, thereby establishing an electronic transport bridge for the activation of CO molecule.

Heterogeneous hygrothermal degradation (HHTD) efficiently produces partially depolymerized konjac glucomannan (KGM). However, KGM degrades considerably faster in oxygen-containing air packaging than in oxygen-free vacuum packaging. This study investigated the effects of different atmosphere conditions on the molecular structure of KGM and the radicals involved in its degradation system.

Reasonable construction of atomically accurate photocatalysts is the key to building efficient photocatalytic systems. Herein, we propose a collective effects strategy that enables the consolidation of both cobalt single atoms (Co) and nickel nanoparticles (Ni) in hierarchical porous MOFs for the foundational features for the preparation of high-performance photocatalysts. Among them, the optimal sample Co/Al-bpydc/Ni achieved a CO generation rate of 12.

Following the principle of single-atom catalysts (SACs), the fourth-period transition metals (TM) were designed as active sites on a MoSiN monolayer surface with N vacancy, and the catalytic mechanisms of these single-atom active sites for the conversion of CO to CO were investigated by first-principles calculations. Our results showed that the doped TM atoms on the MoSiN surface significantly enhanced the CO reduction reaction (CORR) activity compared with the pristine MoSiN monolayer. Our findings after analyzing all the doped structures in our work were as follows: (1) the Sc-, Ti-, and Mn-doped structures exhibited very low limiting potentials; (2) out of Sc-, Ti- and Mn-doped structures, the Mn@MoSiN-N structure showed the best catalytic performance with a limiting potential of only -0.
