Hydrodynamics of random-organizing hyperuniform fluids by Lei, Qun-Li, Ni, Ran

“…We find that the origin of fluidic HU can be understood as the damping of a stochastic harmonic oscillator in q space, which indicates that the suppressed long-wavelength density fluctuation in the hyperuniform fluid can exhibit as either acoustic (resonance) mode or diffusive (overdamped) mode. …”

Promoting hydrogen-evolution activity and stability of perovskite oxides via effectively lattice doping of molybdenum by Zhang, Zhenbao, Chen, Yubo, Dai, Ziyang, Tan, Shaozao, Chen, Dengjie

“…The promoted HER activity of SCFM0.05 regarding the decreased overpotential, increased catalytic current density, and improved charge transfer kinetics, might originate from the combined effects of distortion of octahedral coordination, low oxygen vacancy/high oxidation state of Co, abundant lattice oxygen and highly oxidative oxygen species, long B–O length, and strong OH− adsorption compared to the un-doped counterpart. …”
