Hydrophobic promoter in physical proximity stabilizes cobalt catalysts for durable Fischer-Tropsch synthesis

Cobalt catalysts have been widely studied for Fischer-Tropsch synthesis, yet they gradually deactivate under water-rich reaction conditions. Current stabilization strategies rely on complex catalyst compositions or even use noble-metal promoters. Here, we demonstrate that cobalt...

Cr‐Leaching Induced Vacancy Engineering for High‐Performance Anion Exchange Membrane Water Electrolysis

ABSTRACT Anion exchange membrane water electrolysis (AEMWE) offers a compelling route to large‐scale green hydrogen production. However, developing catalysts that simultaneously combine high activity, long‐term durability, and stack‐level scalability remains a major challenge. He...

Anisotropic variable negative-Poisson-ratio metamaterials for tunable multispectral camouflage and electromagnetic energy harvesting

Adaptive electromagnetic compatibility, camouflage, and energy conversion raises challenge in the swiftly responsive modulation. Herein, we designed pixelated negative-Poisson-ratio metamaterials that enable fast control over structural anisotropy and thus electromagnetic propert...

Pt Nanoparticles on Graphene Doped by Boron Carbide With Strong Electronic Metal–Support Interaction for Efficient Ultra‐Low Pt Loading Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells

ABSTRACT Developing a durable cathode catalyst layer (CCL) with ultra‐low Pt loading <50 µg Pt cm −2 for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is essential to substantially advancing the wide adoption of proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs). Herein, a robust CCL was develope...
