Coexistence of harmony and freedom in the Zhuangzi by Li, Luyao

“…Zhuangzian harmony can be described as “collaborative individuals harmonize by responding to others to achieve flourishing,” while Zhuangzian freedom is defined as “an individual is free with ming (命) to pursue one’s intention.” Finally, this thesis elucidates how the tensions between harmony and freedom in Zhuangzi are resolved and how harmony and freedom can mutually enhance each other.…”

Synthesis of hierarchical 4H/fcc Ru nanotubes for highly efficient hydrogen evolution in alkaline media by Lu, Qipeng, Wang, An-Liang, Cheng, Hongfei, Gong, Yue, Yun, Qinbai, Yang, Nailiang, Li, Bing, Chen, Bo, Zhang, Qinghua, Zong, Yun, Gu, Lin, Zhang, Hua

“…Herein, hierarchical 4H/face-centered cubic (fcc) Ru nanotubes (NTs) are synthesized by a hard template-mediated method, in which 4H/fcc Au nanowires (NWs) serve as sacrificial templates which are then etched by copper ions (Cu2+ ) in dimethylformamide. The obtained hierarchical 4H/fcc Ru NTs contain ultrathin Ru shells (5-9 atomic layers) and tiny Ru nanorods with length of 4.2 ± 1.1 nm and diameter of 2.2 ± 0.5 nm vertically decorated on the surface of Ru shells. …”

Advanced energy storage devices: basic principles, analytical methods, and rational materials design by Liu, Jilei, Wang, Jin, Xu, Chaohe, Jiang, Hao, Li, Chunzhong, Zhang, Lili, Lin, Jianyi, Shen, Ze Xiang

“…The same material may display capacitive or battery‐like behavior depending on the electrode design and the charge storage guest ions. Therefore, the underlying mechanisms and the electrochemical processes occurring upon charge storage may be confusing for researchers who are new to the field as well as some of the chemists and material scientists already in the field. …”
