Journal ArticleDOI
Uniform Self-Forming Metallic Network as a High-Performance Transparent Conductive Electrode
Bing Han,Ke Pei,Huang Yuanlin,Xiaojian Zhang,Qikun Rong,Qinggeng Lin,Yangfei Guo,Tianyi Sun,Tianyi Sun,Chuan Fei Guo,David Carnahan,Michael Giersig,Yang Wang,Jinwei Gao,Zhifeng Ren,Krzysztof Kempa +15 more
TL;DR: A transparent, conductive, and flexible electrode is demonstrated, based on an inexpensive and easily manufacturable metallic network formed by depositing metals onto a template film.
Journal ArticleDOI
Highly active catalyst derived from a 3D foam of Fe(PO3)2/Ni2P for extremely efficient water oxidation
TL;DR: A robust oxygen-evolving electrocatalyst consisting of ferrous metaphosphate on self-supported conductive nickel foam that is commercially available in large scale that satisfies the criteria for large-scale commercialization of water–alkali electrolyzers is reported.
Journal ArticleDOI
Aligned Ultralong ZnO Nanobelts and Their Enhanced Field Emission
Wenzhong Wang,Baoqing Zeng,Jian Yang,Bed Poudel,Jian Yu Huang,Michael J. Naughton,Zhifeng Ren +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a template-free thermal evaporation method was proposed for the growth of aligned ultralong ZnO nanobelts, yielding an average length of 3.3 mm and widths up to 6 lm.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hierarchical CoP/Ni5P4/CoP microsheet arrays as a robust pH-universal electrocatalyst for efficient hydrogen generation
Ishwar Kumar Mishra,Haiqing Zhou,Haiqing Zhou,Jingying Sun,Fan Qin,Keshab Dahal,Jiming Bao,Shuo Chen,Zhifeng Ren +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a very active and durable pH-universal electrocatalyst for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) is constructed using a sandwich-like structure, where hierarchical cobalt phosphide (CoP) nanoparticles serve as thin skins covering both sides of Ni5P4/CoP microsheet arrays, forming self-supported sandwich-helene arrays with lots of mesopores and macropores.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thermoelectric cooling materials.
Jun Mao,Gang Chen,Zhifeng Ren +2 more
TL;DR: The current status of, and future outlook for, thermoelectric cooling materials are reviewed, coefficients of performance for these systems and the state-of-the-art for materials are discussed, and strategies for the discovery of improved thermoeLECTric materials are suggested.
