TL;DR: It is shown how lattice strain can be used experimentally to tune the catalytic activity of dealloyed bimetallic nanoparticles for the oxygen-reduction reaction, a key barrier to the application of fuel cells and metal-air batteries.
Abstract: Electrocatalysis will play a key role in future energy conversion and storage technologies, such as water electrolysers, fuel cells and metal-air batteries. Molecular interactions between chemical reactants and the catalytic surface control the activity and efficiency, and hence need to be optimized; however, generalized experimental strategies to do so are scarce. Here we show how lattice strain can be used experimentally to tune the catalytic activity of dealloyed bimetallic nanoparticles for the oxygen-reduction reaction, a key barrier to the application of fuel cells and metal-air batteries. We demonstrate the core-shell structure of the catalyst and clarify the mechanistic origin of its activity. The platinum-rich shell exhibits compressive strain, which results in a shift of the electronic band structure of platinum and weakening chemisorption of oxygenated species. We combine synthesis, measurements and an understanding of strain from theory to generate a reactivity-strain relationship that provides guidelines for tuning electrocatalytic activity.

TL;DR: It is concluded that, among naturally produced peptides that are investigated, only alamethicin conforms to the barrel-stave model, and other peptides, including magainins, melittin and protegrins, all appear to induce transmembrane pores that conform to the toroidal model.

  • ...…by the theory of scattering from a two-dimensional fluid (Yang et al., 1999): where the scattering intensityI00(0, qr) has been normalized to one pore (Warren, 1969) and the subscript 00 indicates that the density correlations (that give rise to the scattering) are within one individual bilayer....

  • ...One might be tempted to conclude from the DMPC example that melittin is inserted perpendicularly in fluid bilayers but adsorbs parallel to the surface of gel-phase bilayers, but this is not a general rule....
