Amorphous high-entropy phosphide nanosheets with multi-atom catalytic sites for efficient oxygen evolution by Li, Xiumin, Xie, Zhengkun, Roy, Soumyabrata, Gao, Longqing, Liu, Jie, Zhao, Bing, Wei, Ran, Tang, Bijun, Wang, Hongyan, Ajayan, Pulickel, Tang, Keyong

“…Furthermore, Fe and Ni/Co sites prefer to stabilize the HO* and HOO* intermediates respectively, conducive to breaking their scaling relation of Gibbs free energy during OER. Owing to its fine-tuned composition and the synergistic effect of multiple active sites, the FeCoNiCuYP/C electrocatalyst demonstrates superior OER performance in alkaline solutions, requiring a mere 316 mV overpotential to yield 100 mA cm-2 current density with excellent stability. …”

Organic and inorganic sublattice coupling in two-dimensional lead halide perovskites by Fu, Jianhui, Bian, Tieyuan, Yin, Jun, Feng, Minjun, Xu, Qiang, Wang, Yue, Sum, Tze Chien

“…Further evidence of the mechanical coupling between these two sublattices is revealed through the slow heat transfer process, where the resultant lattice tensile strain launches coherent longitudinal acoustic phonons. Our findings explicate the intimate electronic and mechanical couplings between the organic and inorganic sublattices, crucial for tailoring the optoelectronic properties of two-dimensional halide perovskites.…”
