Boosting the hydrogen evolution performance of ruthenium clusters through synergistic coupling with cobalt phosphide
10.1039/C7EE03603E 2018-04-11 In this article, we for the first time report the synthesis and electrocatalytic properties of ruthenium cobalt phosphide hybrid clusters for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Two types of catalysts are investigated: wet chemical reduction of Ru3+ on pre... |

A highly stabilized nickel-rich cathode material by a nanoscale epitaxy control for high-energy lithium-ion batteries
10.1039/C8EE00155C 2018-04-10 Advanced surface engineering for the nickel-rich cathode materials greatly enhances structural/thermal stability. However, their application into the lithium-ion full-cell have still challenge such as unstable solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) layer on the a... |

Activation of Ultrathin SrTiO3 with Subsurface SrRuO3 for the Oxygen Evolution Reaction
10.1039/C8EE00210J 2018-04-10 Water electrolysis occurs via the oxygen/hydrogen evolution reactions1,2. Achieving sufficiently high oxygen evolution reaction (OER) activity while maintaining stability of the active catalyst surface is a primary challenge of designing OER catalysts1,3. Oft... |

Synergism induced exceptional capacity and complete reversibility in Mg-Y thin films: enabling next generation metal hydride electrodes
10.1039/C7EE03628K 2018-04-09 Much of current research in metal hydride (MH) electrodes follows the principle that the materials should be composed of hydrogen-absorbing elements (A) and non-hydrogen-absorbing elements (B). This classical design principle, however, severely limits the pot... |

Solid-State-Ligand-Exchange Free Quantum Dot Ink-based Solar Cells with Efficiency of 10.9%
10.1039/C8EE00278A 2018-04-06 While colloidal quantum dot based solar cells (CQDSCs) have recently achieved power conversion efficiencies (PCE) up to 11.3%, the CQD active layers are fabricated almost exclusively by a combined process of in-situ solid-state ligand exchange (SSE) with mult... |
