NiMn-based bimetal-organic framework nanosheets supported on multi-channel carbon fibers for efficient oxygen electrocatalysis by Cheng, Weiren, Lu, Xue Feng, Luan, Deyan, Lou, David Xiong Wen

“…Owing to the desired components and architecture, the MCCF/NiMn-MOFs manifest comparable electrocatalytic performance towards oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) with the commercial Pt/C electrocatalyst and superior performance towards oxygen evolution reaction (OER) to the benchmark RuO2 electrocatalyst. X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) spectroscopy and density functional theory (DFT) calculations reveal that the strong synergetic effect of adjacent Ni and Mn nodes within MCCF/NiMn-MOFs effectively promotes the thermodynamic formation of key *O and *OOH intermediates over active NiO6 centers towards fast ORR and OER kinetics.…”

Pulsed-laser-ablated gold-nanoparticles saturable absorber for mode-locked erbium-doped fiber lasers by Noor Zirwatul Ahlam, Naharuddin, M. H., Abu Bakar, Sadrolhosseini, Amir Reza, N., Tamchek, Alresheedi, Mohammed Thamer, Abas, A. F., Mohd Adzir, Mahdi

“…The resulting nanocomposite was deposited on the tapered region of a microfiber with a spin-coating method. The proposed Au-NPs SA recorded a modulation depth of 0.4% and low saturation intensity of 0.1 MW/cm2 leading to stable mode-locking operation in the erbium-doped fiber laser cavity at a low threshold pump power of about 45.6 mW. …”
