Article Abstract

Photocatalytic water splitting for hydrogen production is an attractive renewable energy technology, but the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) at the anode is severely constrained by a high overpotential. The two-dimensional vdW ferromagnetic material FeGeTe, with its good stability and excellent metallic conductivity, has potential as an electrocatalyst, but its sluggish surface catalytic reactivity limits its large-scale application. In this work, we adapted DFT calculations to introduce surface Te vacancies to boost OER performance of the FeGeTe (001) surface. Te vacancies induce the charge redistribution of active sites, optimizing the adsorption and desorption of oxygen-containing intermediates. Consequently, the overpotential of the rate-determining step in the OER process of FeGeTe is reduced to 0.34 V, bringing the performance close to that of the benchmark IrO catalyst (0.56 V). Notably, the vacancies' concentration and configuration significantly modify the electronic structure and thus influence OER activity. This study provides important theoretical evidence for defect engineering in OER catalysis and offers new design strategies for developing efficient and stable electrocatalysts for sustainable energy conversion.

3D shape defect detection plays an important role in autonomous industrial inspection. However, accurate detection of anomalies remains challenging due to the complexity of multimodal sensor data, especially when both color and structural information are required. In this work, we propose a lightweight inter-modality feature prediction framework that effectively utilizes multimodal fused features from the inputs of RGB, depth and point clouds for efficient 3D shape defect detection.

Quantum-confined perovskites represent an emerging class of materials with great potential for optoelectronic applications. Specifically, zero-dimensional (0D) perovskites have garnered significant attention for their unique excitonic properties. However, achieving phase-pure, size-tunable 0D perovskite materials and gaining a clear understanding of their photophysical behavior remains challenging.

The accumulated knowledge on the biology of the HIV-1 virus has led to the emergence of technologies that exploit the architecture of retroviruses and their integration or vectorization properties. This field of study constitutes retroviral vectorology, democratized in laboratories by the use of lentiviral vectors. By hijacking retroviral assembly, other systems are emerging and are increasingly mentioned in recent literature.

With the rapid development of industrial automation and intelligent manufacturing, defect detection of electronic products has become crucial in the production process. Traditional defect detection methods often face the problems of insufficient accuracy and inefficiency when dealing with complex backgrounds, tiny defects, and multiple defect types. To overcome these problems, this paper proposes Y-MaskNet, a multi-task joint learning framework based on YOLOv5 and Mask R-CNN, which aims to improve the accuracy and efficiency of defect detection and segmentation in electronic products.
