Article Abstract

Reversible protonic ceramic cells facilitate efficient chemical-electrical energy interconversion, advancing renewable energy utilization. Commercial viability, however, demands intermediate-to-low temperatures (ILT, 400-600 °C) operation, currently constrained by air electrode performance. A-site ordered layered perovskite PrBaSrCoFeO (PBSCF) promises, yet faces activity and stability issues at ILT. Cation defects effectively tune defect structures in simple perovskites, boosting electrochemical performance, but their specific effects in A-site ordered perovskites with dual A-site environments remain unexplored. Here, A-site cation-selective defects are engineered to tune PBSCF's performance, with Pr-deficient (PrBaSrCoFeO, p-PBSCF) and Ba/Sr-deficient (Pr(BaSr)CoFeO, bs-PBSCF) variants revealing distinct defects-performance relationships. Pr defects weaken Co─O covalency to activate Co sites, enhancing oxygen electrocatalytic activity. Concurrently, it lowers oxygen vacancy concentration, inhibiting hydration-induced lattice expansion. This stabilizes Ba─O/Sr─O bonds and mitigates Ba/Sr segregation, enhancing stability. However, the reduced oxygen vacancy concentration inhibits the material's hydration, lowering proton conduction and thus restricting activity enhancement. In contrast, Ba/Sr defects not only weaken Co─O covalency to activate Co sites, but also increase oxygen vacancy concentration, promoting proton and oxygen-ion transport, thereby significantly enhancing electrode activity. Furthermore, despite increased hydration, bs-PBSCF's larger-radius cation defects yield a smaller unit cell versus p-PBSCF, further strengthening Ba─O/Sr─O bonds and inhibiting Ba/Sr segregation, thus leading to superior stability.

Metal halide perovskites (MHPs) are rapidly developing as a class of versatile materials combining the exceptional optoelectronic characteristics with tunable ferroelectricity and nonlinear optical responses. Spanning across the three-dimensional, two-dimensional, and one-dimensional architectures, these materials have demonstrated exceptional structural diversity, providing immense opportunities for tailored property design. We start by referencing the classic oxide perovskites, sharing differences and similarities of these material systems.

The typical P2-type NaNiMnO exhibits a high theoretical capacity for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). However, its P2-O2 phase transition during deep charging causes severe structural degradation and capacity decay. In this work, we propose a site-selective doping strategy based on multielement synergy to suppress irreversible phase transitions.

Tuning the energy landscape of many-body electronic states in extended solids through the inductive effect─a concept widely used in organic chemistry─offers a new, effective strategy for materials development. Here, we demonstrate this approach using the ANd(SO) (A = Rb, Cs) model system, which possesses different A-site electronegativity and displays a distorted triangular lattice of Nd (I ground term). Magnetization data indicate appreciable antiferromagnetic interactions without long-range ordering down to 1.

Herein, we describe an optimized method for the generation of "thiolated Q295" site-specific antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) with drug-to-antibody ratio (DAR) 2 from nonengineered IgG1 antibodies. Traditional ADCs take advantage of the 4 intrachain disulfide residues as the sites of attachment. While operationally simple to prepare, ADCs that rely on attachment to these endogenous cysteine residues suffer from heterogeneity arising from stochastic mixtures of differently loaded species.
