TL;DR: A molecular diode with R = 6.3 × 105 based on self-assembled monolayers with Fc-C≡C-Fc (Fc, ferrocenyl) termini is reported, successfully model this mechanism using molecular dynamics calculations.

TL;DR: Through a one-pot wet-chemical method, a series of amorphous/crystalline hetero-phase Pd nanosheets is synthesized with different crystallinities for the catalytic 4-nitrostyrene hydrogenation, and the chemoselectivity and activity can be fine-tuned by controlling the crystallinity of the as-synthesized Pd Nanosheet.

TL;DR: In this paper, a micro-model for YSZ/LSM composite cathode considering all forms of polarization was developed which established the interrelationship among the transport phenomena, electrochemical processes and the microstructure of the composite cathodes.

TL;DR: In this paper, a comprehensive micromodel considering all forms of polarization in the cathode of the solid oxide fuel cell was developed which governs the complex interdependency among the transport phenomena, electrochemical processes (charge transfer and surface diffusion), and the microstructure of the electrode and their combined effect on the cathodes overpotential under different operating conditions.

TL;DR: In this article, the rate-determining steps of oxygen reduction at a yttria stabilized zirconia-doped lanthanum manganite (LSM|YSZ) interface were investigated by ac impedance spectroscopy.
