Heterocyclic pyrrole molecules are in situ aligned and polymerized in the -absence of an oxidant between layers of the 2D Ti3C2Tx (MXene), resulting in high volumetric and gravimetric capacitances with capacitance retention of 92% after 25,000 cycles at a 100 mV s(-1) scan rate.

With prevalent attacks in communication, sharing a secret between communicating parties is an ongoing challenge. Moreover, it is important to integrate quantum solutions with classical secret sharing schemes with low computational cost for the real world use. This paper proposes a novel hybrid threshold adaptable quantum secret sharing scheme, using an m-bonacci orbital angular momentum (OAM) pump, Lagrange interpolation polynomials, and reverse Huffman-Fibonacci-tree coding. To be exact, we employ entangled states prepared by m -bonacci sequences to detect eavesdropping. Meanwhile, we encode m -bonacci sequences in Lagrange interpolation polynomials to generate the shares of a secret with reverse Huffman-Fibonacci-tree coding. The advantages of the proposed scheme is that it can detect eavesdropping without joint quantum operations, and permits secret sharing for an arbitrary but no less than threshold-value number of classical participants with much lower bandwidth. Also, in comparison with existing quantum secret sharing schemes, it still works when there are dynamic changes, such as the unavailability of some quantum channel, the arrival of new participants and the departure of participants. Finally, we provide security analysis of the new hybrid quantum secret sharing scheme and discuss its useful features for modern applications.

NiCo2 O4 nanowire array on carbon cloth (NiCo2 O4 /CC) is proposed as a highly active electrocatalyst for ambient nitrate (NO3 - ) reduction to ammonia (NH3 ). In 0.1 m NaOH solution with 0.1 m NaNO3 , such NiCo2 O4 /CC achieves a high Faradic efficiency of 99.0% and a large NH3 yield up to 973.2 µmol h-1  cm-2 . The superior catalytic activity of NiCo2 O4 comes from its half-metal feature and optimized adsorption energy due to the existence of Ni in the crystal structure. A Zn-NO3 - battery with NiCo2 O4 /CC cathode also shows a record-high battery performance.
