Article Abstract
It is especially essential to develop high-performance and low-cost nonprecious metal catalysts for large-scale hydrogen production. A large number of electrochemical catalysts composited by transition metal centers has been reported; however, it is still a great challenge to design and manipulate target electrocatalysts to realize high overall water-splitting activity at the atomic level. Herein, we develop totally new P-(Fe,V)-codoped metastable-phase β-NiMoO. As an electrocatalyst, it can realize oxygen evolution at only 163 mV and hydrogen evolution at only 44 mV at 10 mA cm. It, as both an anode and a cathode, is fabricated into a cell for overall water splitting, which has an ultralow voltage value of 1.48 V to drive a current density of 10 mA cm and can remain stable for at least 100 h. In the target electrode, the P element plays three important roles: (1) it can stabilize the metastable-phase structure of β-NiMoO; (2) it can further optimize the electronic structure; and (3) it can provide more active sites. The synergistic effect for multimetal centers with different redox couples is key for the great improvement of catalytic activity. The related mechanism is discussed in detail.

This study demonstrates the mutual phase stability and chemical inertness of hexacelsian─the metastable phase of BaAlSiO with a layered structure─and yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) across a wide temperature range up to 1600 °C, through solid-state reactions between kaolinite and BaCO, with or without YSZ. Hexacelsian remained without transformation to celsian─the stable BaAlSiO phase without a layered structure─under heating when copresent with ZrO. Additionally, while YSZ alone shows both tetragonal and monoclinic ZrO phases upon calcination, only the tetragonal phase is retained when calcined in the presence of hexacelsian.

Designing unique electrocatalysts that utilizes carbon dioxide reduction reaction (CORR) for real applications is highly appreciated, yet still suffers from low selectivity, stability, and compatibility. Herein, we first report a new two-dimensional metastable-phase transparent conducting oxide: 1T phase indium tin oxide (m-ITOs) with the space group of P-3m1 (164), which is totally different from that of the stable cubic phase ITO (Ia-3 (206)). The internal indium tin catalytic pairs in m-ITOs trigger the strong electronic coupling, move up the p-band center, and stabilize the adsorption of HCOO* for increased formate production.

Pressure has been considered as a versatile and promising means in the discovery of metal superhydrides. However, although a series of metastable metal hydrides with excellent superconducting properties have been predicted through theoretical calculations, it is still challenging to obtain metal hydrides with metastable phases via a high-pressure synthetic route. Herein, we have successfully fabricated a metastable PdH superhydride using amorphous Pd nanoparticles (NPs) as a starting material at ∼32.

GaO thin films were deposited simultaneously on (112̅0) -plane, (101̅0) -plane, (0001) -plane, and (011̅2) -plane sapphire substrates using metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). The different surface energy and strain conditions imposed by each sapphire plane make the choice of substrate orientation critical to the stabilization of the α-phase. β-GaO nucleation was found to be preferential over α-GaO on sapphire orientations with <11̅00> α-AlO present (c- and -planes) when grown under the same conditions.

The ferroelectric properties and structural phase transition behaviors of fluorite-type CeO-HfO-ZrO films were investigated. The epitaxial films on indium tin oxide (ITO) (111)/yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) (111) substrates were grown through pulsed laser deposition at room temperature and subsequently heat-treated at 1000 °C under a N gas flow. The crystalline phases and Curie temperatures of the films were investigated by X-ray diffraction.
