Article Abstract
Electrolytic water-splitting has the advantages of high efficiency, environmental friendliness, and sustainability. It is becoming a leading approach for producing hydrogen. In order to improve the efficiency of water-splitting, a bifunctional electrocatalyst with high performance is needed. Herein, we present a novel approach to construct a bifunctional electrocatalyst for overall water-splitting by compounding Ni(OH) and CoP. This combination induced charge optimization, thereby leading to surface reconstruction. The nanocomposite displayed outstanding catalytic performance, benefiting from its more reactive surface area, improved conductivity and enhanced electrocatalytic activity. The resulting Ni(OH)/CoP electrocatalyst exhibited excellent catalytic performance, with low overpotentials of 266 mV at 50 mA cm for the OER and 71 mV at -10 mA cm for the HER, and required only 1.54 V to reach 10 mA cm in an overall water-splitting device, overtaking most of the recently reported Co- and Ni-based catalysts. This innovative strategy offers new directions for the design of efficient electrocatalysts.

Carbon dots (CDs) represent a new class of nontoxic and sustainable nanomaterials with increasing applications. Among them, bright and large Stokes-shift CDs are highly desirable for display and imaging, yet the emission mechanisms remain unclear. We obtained structural signatures for the recently engineered green and red CDs by ground-state femtosecond stimulated Raman spectroscopy (FSRS), then synthesized orange CDs with similar size but much higher nitrogen dopants than red CDs.

This review delivers a focused and critical evaluation of recent progress in the green synthesis of carbon quantum dots (CQDs), with particular attention to state-of-the-art approaches utilizing renewable biomass as precursors. The main objective is to systematically examine innovative, environmentally friendly methods and clarify their direct influence on the core properties and photocatalytic performance of CQDs. The novelty of this review stems from its comprehensive comparison of green synthetic pathways, revealing how specific processes determine key structural, optical, and electronic attributes of the resulting CQDs.

Inverted quantum dot light-emitting diodes (QLEDs) show great promise for next-generation displays due to their compatibility with integrated circuit architectures. However, their development has been hindered by inefficient exciton utilization and charge transport imbalance. Here, we present a strategy for regulating charge-exciton dynamics through the rational design of a multifunctional hole transport layer (HTL), incorporating polyethylenimine ethoxylated (PEIE) as a protective interlayer in fully-solution-processed inverted red QLEDs.

We present a novel, flexible framework for electronic structure interfaces designed for nonadiabatic dynamics simulations, implemented in Python 3 using concepts of object-oriented programming. This framework streamlines the development of new interfaces by providing a reusable and extendable code base. It supports the computation of energies, gradients, various couplings─like spin-orbit couplings, nonadiabatic couplings, and transition dipole moments─and other properties for an arbitrary number of states with any multiplicities and charges.

Super austenitic stainless steels (SASS) face challenges like galvanic corrosion and antibacterial performance when welded to carbon steel (Q235) in marine environments. This study demonstrates that adding 1.0 wt% cerium (Ce) to SASS refines the heat-affected zone (HAZ) grain structure (from 7 μm to 2 μm), suppresses detrimental σ-phase precipitation, and forms a dense oxide film.
