Article Abstract
Earth-abundant metal oxides are usually considered as stable but catalytically inert toward hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) due to their unfavorable hydrogen intermediate adsorption performance. Herein, a heavy rare earth (Y) and transition metal (Co) dual-doping induced lattice strain and oxygen vacancy stabilization strategy is proposed to boost CeO toward robust alkaline HER. The induced lattice compression and increased oxygen vacancy (O) concentration in CeO synergistically improve the water dissociation on O sites and sequential hydrogen adsorption at activated O-neighboring sites, leading to significantly enhanced HER kinetics. Meanwhile, Y doping offers stabilization effect on O by its stronger Y─O bonding over Ce─O, which endows the catalyst with excellent stability. The Y,Co-CeO electrocatalyst exhibits an ultra-low HER overpotential (27 mV at 10 mA cm) and Tafel slope (48 mV dec), outperforming the benchmark Pt electrocatalyst. Moreover, the anion exchange membrane water electrolyzer incorporated with Y,Co-CeO achieves excellent stability of 500 h under 600 mA cm. This synergistic lattice strain and oxygen vacancy stabilization strategy sheds new light on the rational development of efficient and stable oxide-based HER electrocatalysts.

Achieving both high sensitivity and a wide detection range in flexible pressure sensors poses a challenge due to their inherent trade-off. Although porous structures offer promising solutions, conventional methods (templating, foaming, and freeze-drying) fail to precisely control cavity dimensions, spatial arrangement, and 3D morphology, which are crucial for sensing performance. Here, we propose a scalable fabrication strategy that integrates triply periodic minimal surface (TPMS) geometries─precisely engineered via FDM 3D printing─with ultrasonic impregnation of carbon black (CB) into TPU scaffolds.

The performance of NiO-based electrocatalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is strongly influenced by the interface between the metal support (current collector) and the catalyst layer, which modulates electronic properties and electrochemical activity. This study systematically investigates the solid-solid interface behavior of NiO thin films prepared by reactive magnetron sputtering on Pt, Au, and Ni, followed by electrochemical characterization. Stepwise NiO deposition and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy reveal distinct band alignment and electronic structure differences at the metal-catalyst interface.

Improving electrostrain in lead-free piezoelectric materials is critical for practical use. This study examines KTN crystals and employs two primary strategies to enhance their electrostrain: (1) Cu doping creates a restoring force enabling reversible domain switching. (2) Polarizing Cu:KTN crystals and applying an electric field perpendicular to the polarization direction ensure that all domains contribute to the strain.

Here, Ln-Li co-doped YO@ZnO core-shell heterostructures were synthesized by three different techniques - intermediate layer conversion method, a hydrothermal method, and an interlayer mediated hydrothermal method. The synthesis procedure is optimized based on the thickness and compactness of the developed shell. The growth kinetics and synthesis mechanism of each adopted method have been explained in detail using XRD, FESEM, TEM, SAED, and EDX characterization techniques.

To address palladium supply-demand challenges and conventional recovery inefficiencies, this study develops a lithium-mediated electrodeposition process for efficient palladium recycling from spent catalysts. Density functional theory calculations identified a controlled Pd→LiPd (Pd)→LiPdO (Pd) transformation pathway, and experimental verification confirmed that LiPd precursors underwent oxidative transformation into LiPdO with structural inheritance. LiPdO exhibited Pd-O coordination and underwent rapid dissolution in dilute hydrochloric acid.
