Correlating synthesis, microstructural engineering and thermoelectric performance in BiCuSeO

Layered BiCuSeO chalcogenides have attracted attention as potential oxide thermoelectric material due to inherently low thermal conductivity values, however, accomplishment of simultaneous enhancement in electronic and thermal transport properties remains challenging. In this wor...

Unveiling the Role of Mo in MnCoMo Oxide for Efficient Hydrogen Production via Alkaline Seawater Electrolysis

Abstract Direct seawater electrolysis is a promising strategy for large-scale green hydrogen production, yet it remains hindered by the poor selectivity and durability of earth-abundant electrocatalysts under chloride-rich conditions. Here, we report a systematic investigation of...

Controlled electro-alignment molecular dynamics in a high tilt angle ferroelectric liquid crystal cell

In a high tilt angle ferroelectric liquid crystal (HTAFLC), spontaneous polarization (Ps) minimization leads to the stripe domain formation with respect to the rubbing direction, arising from the smectic layer bending, limiting uniform alignment and hence practicality. A strategy...
