Article Abstract

Understanding the CO adsorption and conversion on low-index (010) surface exposed in anatase TiO is vital to improve the catalytic efficiency. Herein, different stable adsorption configurations on (010) surfaces of anatase TiO are studied through density functional theory calculations. It is an interesting finding on perfect surface that the adsorption energies are weak although carbonate-like complex relates to a strong interaction between CO and surfaces. Such a scenario is also established on defective (010) surfaces. Moreover, oxygen vacancy plays a greatly important role in the CO adsorption and activation on anatase (010) surfaces. The introduction of oxygen vacancy not only promotes CO to stably adsorb on defective surfaces with higher adsorption energies as compared to perfect ones, but also dissociates one CO bond of CO for filling the vacancy and forms a CO molecule. Just as interesting is that the oxygen vacancy can also be filled by the C atom instead of the O atom when CO horizontally adsorbs at the defect site. This work offers theoretical guidance to devise excellent materials for CO conversion.

Purpose: The number of oxygen vacancies in quartz measured by electron spin resonance (ESR) as the intensity of the E' center has been used to investigate the provenance of the sediments and has been found to be a good proxy in discussing the direction and intensity of the wind system in the past. While its temporal variations have been examined using marine sediments. The present study aimed to show that terrestrial sediments are also useful for such studies on climate change when it is continuous.

The sluggish kinetics and diffusion of lithium polysulfide (LiPS) intermediates lead to the decline in the capacity and rate of high-energy lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries. Integrating adsorbents and electrocatalysts into the Li-S system is an effective strategy for suppressing the polysulfide shuttle and enhancing the redox kinetics of sulfur species. The disordered structure of the electrocatalysts exhibits significantly enhanced catalytic activity.

Sequential deposition technique is widely used to fabricate perovskite films with large grain size in perovskite solar cells (PSCs). Residual lead halide (PbI) in the perovskite film tends to be decomposed into metallic lead (Pb) under long-term heating or light soaking. Here, a chiral levetiracetam (LEV) dopant containing α-amide and pyrrolidone groups is introduced into the PbI precursor solution.

Developing efficient and durable catalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in acidic media is essential for advancing proton exchange membrane water electrolysis (PEMWE). However, catalyst instability caused by lattice oxygen (O) depletion and metal dissolution remains a critical barrier. Here, we propose an oxophilic-site-mediated dynamic oxygen replenishment mechanism (DORM), in which O actively participates in O-O bond formation and is continuously refilled by water-derived species.
