The influence of Ti doping on morphology and photoelectrochemical properties of hematite grown from aqueous solution for water splitting by Zhao, Xin, Feng, Jianyong, Wang, Ning, Yao, Xin, Chen, Wei, Chen, Shi, Huang, Zhaohong, Chen, Zhong

“…Nanorod structure could improve the transport of charge carriers and increase the reaction sites. Herein, we have investigated the influence of Ti doping on the morphology change and find that insufficient precursor concentration is the main reason for the morphology deviation from the optimized nanorod structure. …”

The road more travelled : how user-generated content can lead to homogenized travel journalism by Duffy, Andrew

“…Travel journalism is one source travellers turn to in order to research a destination, alongside friends who have been there, guidebooks, websites, blogs, user review sites, and chat rooms. But the travel journalists they consult would also have consulted these sources and planned their trip based on what they find there. …”

Engineering bunched Pt-Ni alloy nanocages for efficient oxygen reduction in practical fuel cells by Tian, Xinlong, Zhao, Xiao, Su, Ya-Qiong, Wang, Lijuan, Wang, Hongming, Dang, Dai, Chi, Bin, Liu, Hongfang, Hensen, Emiel J. M., Lou, David Xiong Wen, Xia, Bao Yu

“…Both the experimental results and theoretical calculations reveal the existence of fewer strongly bonded platinum-oxygen (Pt-O) sites induced by the strain and ligand effects. Moreover, the fuel cell assembled by this catalyst delivers a current density of 1.5 amperes per square centimeter at 0.6 volts and can operate steadily for at least 180 hours.…”

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

“…Hierarchical metal nanostructures containing 1D nanobuilding blocks have stimulated great interest due to their abundant active sites for catalysis. 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. …”
