Modulating electronic and geometric structure of transition metal compounds for efficient water splitting by Tang, Shasha

“…It is found that forming such core-branch hierarchical nanostructures out of both catalytic active materials is an effective strategy to increase the catalytic active sites, reaction kinetics, and charge transport. Specifically, leaves-like ultrathin Co(OH)2 nanoflakes are grown on the branch-like Cu(OH)2 nanowires via an combined synthesis of an anodization process and a electrodeposition process. …”

Modeling and coordination control of AC/DC hybrid microgrids by Zhang, Zhe

“…With a standard hardware configuration, inertia is delivered to both AC and DC subgrids via a bidirectional interlinking converter (BIC). Specifically, the difference in per-unit DC bus voltage and AC frequency is controlled through a proportional-integral (PI) controller, forming the active power reference of the interlinking converter. …”
