Haiqing Zhou,Fang Yu,Jingying Sun,Ran He,Yumei Wang,Yumei Wang,Chuan Fei Guo,Feng Wang,Yucheng Lan,Zhifeng Ren,Shuo Chen +10 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed a highly active and stable Tungsten disulfide (WS2) catalyst for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) in water splitting, which can exhibit a ∼ 0.1 V overpotential, accompanied by a large cathode current density (10 mA cm−2 at −119 mV vs. reversible hydrogen electrode), and good stability.
Journal ArticleDOI
Enhancement of thermoelectric performance of phase pure Zintl compounds Ca1−xYbxZn2Sb2, Ca1−xEuxZn2Sb2, and Eu1−xYbxZn2Sb2 by mechanical alloying and hot pressing
Jing Shuai,Yumei Wang,Yumei Wang,Zihang Liu,Zihang Liu,Hee Seok Kim,Jun Mao,Jiehe Sui,Zhifeng Ren +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors reported the enhanced thermoelectric performance of Ca 1− x Yb x Zn 2 Sb 2 (x = 0, 0.25, 0., 0.75, and 1) prepared by ball milling and hot pressing, and XRD confirms the samples are pure Zintl phase within its limit.
