Enhanced Thermoelectric Figure of Merit of p-Type Half-Heuslers

Xiao Yan, +10 more
- 09 Feb 2011 - 
TL;DR: Through a nanocomposite approach using ball milling and hot pressing, a peak ZT of 0.8 at 700 °C is achieved, which is about 60% higher than the best reported 0.5 and might be good enough for consideration for waste heat recovery in car exhaust systems.
Journal ArticleDOI

Water splitting by electrolysis at high current densities under 1.6 volts

Haiqing Zhou, +11 more
- 10 Oct 2018 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, an active and durable OER catalyst was used to achieve the commercially required current densities of 500 and 1000 mA cm−2 at 1.586 and 1.657 V, respectively, with very good stability, dramatically lower than any previously reported voltage.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ultrafast room-temperature synthesis of porous S-doped Ni/Fe (oxy)hydroxide electrodes for oxygen evolution catalysis in seawater splitting

Luo Yu, +9 more
- 14 Oct 2020 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the surface of Ni foam is engineered into a rough S-doped Ni/Fe (oxy)hydroxide layer, which exhibits extraordinary oxygen evolution reaction (OER) performance in both alkaline salty water and seawater electrolytes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Metamaterial-Plasmonic Absorber Structure for High Efficiency Amorphous Silicon Solar Cells

Yang Wang, +5 more
- 11 Jan 2012 - 
TL;DR: It is shown that a planar structure, consisting of an ultrathin semiconducting layer topped with a solid nanoscopically perforated metallic film and then a dielectric interference film, can highly absorb electromagnetic radiation in the entire visible range, and thus can become a platform for high-efficiency solar cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

Highly stretchable and transparent nanomesh electrodes made by grain boundary lithography

Chuan Fei Guo, +4 more
- 28 Jan 2014 - 
TL;DR: The highly stretchable and transparent Au nanomesh electrodes are promising for applications in foldable photoelectronics and muscle-like transducers.
