Direct Natural Seawater Electrolysis through a Photoinduced Asymmetric Electric Field.

Direct natural seawater electrolysis offers a pathway for green hydrogen production, yet its industrialization is hindered by precipitation formation and sluggish water dissociation kinetics on the cathode. Herein, we propose a photoinduced asymmetric electric field (PAEF) that dynamically affects the interfacial H-bond network under illumination, forming OH diffusion channels and reorienting water configurations. The transient absorption spectroscopy indicates carrier dynamics for PAEF in a designed photoresponsive catalytic system.

Collaborative Learning and Style-Adaptive Pooling Network for Perceptual Evaluation of Arbitrary Style Transfer.

Although the research of arbitrary style transfer (AST) has achieved great progress in recent years, few studies pay special attention to the perceptual evaluation of AST images that are usually influenced by complicated factors, such as structure-preserving, style similarity, and overall vision (OV). Existing methods rely on elaborately designed hand-crafted features to obtain quality factors and apply a rough pooling strategy to evaluate the final quality. However, the importance weights between the factors and the final quality will lead to unsatisfactory performances by simple quality pooling.
