Persistent Mn 3+ Sites on Reduced MnO Enable Efficient Syngas Conversion
ABSTRACT Mn‐based materials are widely used for syngas conversion, where MnO is generally regarded as the catalytically active phase under reducing conditions. Yet catalysts derived from different Mn oxide precursors often exhibit markedly different performances despite evolving...

Electrical signal transmission across electrolyte junctions separated by atomically-thin graphene
Signal transmission across membranes is usually mediated by the permeation of molecular species. Here we show that atomically thin graphene crystals, although impermeable to any ions or molecules, can transmit interfacial electrical potentials across electrolyte junctions without...

Prussian blue regulates ion dynamics in perovskite solar cells
Perovskite photovoltaics are limited by structural instabilities initiated during crystallization and amplified under operation. We report that a lattice-matched Prussian blue scaffold directs heterogeneous nucleation to produce highly oriented, strain-relaxed films. Its redox-ac...
