Atomic Scale Origin of the OER Activity–Stability Trade-Off in NiFe Layered Double Hydroxides: Lattice-Site Oxygen Triggers Fe Leaching

Abstract NiFe layered double hydroxide (NiFe-LDH) is a representative non-precious-metal catalyst for the alkaline oxygen evolution reaction (OER), yet its long-term stability is compromised by Fe leaching under OER conditions. Herein, using density functional theory calculations...

Polymer Nanosphere-Induced Heterogeneous Crosslinking toward Robust Anion Exchange Membranes for Water Electrolysis

Abstract Anion exchange membranes (AEMs) frequently face trade-off between high hydroxide conductivity and dimensional stability under hydration. Conventional homogeneous crosslinking improves the dimensional stability and mechanical strength of AEMs. However, an excessively high...

Mild Mechanochemical Pretreatment of Wheat Straw for High Exergy Efficiency to Promote Efficient Enzymatic Hydrolysis and Saccharification

Abstract This study proposed a new strategy for simultaneous catalytic conversion of wheat straw with a deep eutectic solvent-assisted ball milling method at high solid content (20%) conditions, thereby improving monosaccharide yield and exergy efficiency. After mechanical sheari...
