Single-atom catalysts (SACs) with nitrogen-coordinated transition metal sites (M-N-x) hold great promise for electrocatalytic oxygen reduction and oxygen evolution reactions (ORR, OER). Despite substantial achievements based on the confinement pyrolysis and heteroatom-doping methods, the M-N-x SACs still suffer from low yield of atomic sites and less tenability of electronic states of M-N-x center. Here, an innovate synthesis methodology is proposed for surface integrating Co atoms onto polyoxometalate (POM) and its derivative clusters, which promise to regulate the atomic distribution and coordination environments of Co-N-x SACs at the sub-nanometer level. The synthetic procedures exhibit general applicability for a variety of POM clusters to achieve high atomic Co loading up to 9.9 wt%. Steric integration by POM-derived clusters (e.g. MoN) also impart strengthened d-p orbital hybridization of Co-N-x SACs by the formation of Co-N-Mo bonding, which surpass common heteroatoms toward modulating the geometric and electronic structures of M-N-x SACs, leading to pronounced catalytic activity and durability. This work validates the effectiveness of the unique POM-integration strategy toward atomic dispersion of transition metal, further guides the engineering of M-N-x SACs to promote catalytic performance from the sub-nanometer scale.

Iron phthalocyanine (FePc) with tetracoordinated Fe-N4 site shows promising activity for catalyzing the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in alkaline media. However, the consecutive proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) steps with water as the proton donor and low electronic conductivity of FePc raise the kinetic barriers for device application. Herein, a significant effect of polyoxometalates (POMs) on the ORR kinetics of Fe-N4 sites via surface coordination of FePc is revealed. POM clusters modulate the interactive steric/electronic environment of Fe-N4, leading to a low barrier for H2O cleavage to produce protons along with a high electron transfer rate, thereby accelerating the PCET steps of FePc. With precisely controlled electron charge of POM clusters, the influence and mechanism of heteropoly blue in promoting PCET steps of FePc relative to heteropoly acid are elucidated, and noticeably enhanced ORR activity and reaction current are achieved. These findings highlight the potential of POMs as ligands to optimize dynamics of Fe-N4 atomic sites toward efficient alkaline ORR.

This article presents an implantable pressure sensor readout system (IPRO) that can work at low voltage and does not need an internal low dropout regulator (LDO). This article has made a series of optimizations for power consumption. The power supply of IPRO uses 434-MHz energy harvesting (EH), which only uses two-stage rectification and is equipped with a corresponding ultralow power undervoltage locking (UVLO) circuit. The analog front-end (AFE) and signal-processing parts use current mode and differential pseudo-phase-locked loop (DPPLL), which can work stably under low voltage and maintain a certain degree of accuracy and power rejection ability. The wireless data transmission part adopts the impulse ultrawideband (IR-UWB) scheme. Its ultralow power consumption allows it to be powered by a charge pump, which is the first time it has been proposed in implantable systems. To further optimize power consumption, the simplest encoding circuit suitable for the front-end output form was proposed, and a power oscillator (PO) with accelerated start-up was used to optimize area and power consumption. The system is implemented in a 180-nm complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) process, with a chip area of 1.1 * 1.0 mm(2). The measurement results indicate that the typical working voltage of the IPRO is 0.8 V, the typical power consumption is 11.8 mu W, and the accuracy is 1.11 mmHg. Compared with existing designs, there is a significant optimization in supply voltage and power consumption.

The changes in cultivated land and rural residential land and their interrelation are the most direct manifestation of land use transition in rural areas, which is an important basis to carry out rural land consolidation scientifically. This study constructs a conceptual model of rural land use transition and analyses the process characteristics and coupling relationship of land use transition between cultivated land and rural residential land in China in four periods from 1996 to 2016. Then, it puts forward response strategies for regional rural land consolidation. As the results show, an inverse trend between cultivated land and rural residential land, together with a certain degree of volatility demonstrated an inadequate transition in rural land use system. The types of cultivated land and rural residential land transition changed from single dominant to multiple equilibrium, but the main type of rural land use system in different stages was synchronous R negative linking. The spatial pattern of cultivated land and rural residential land transition is obviously unbalanced. The transition of rural land use system in the southeastern part of Hu Huanyong Line is active, where no transition model and process transition model play a dominant role. This area can be considered as priority for rural land consolidation in the future. Rural land consolidation should conform to the rules of land use transition, establish a multi-objective oriented regional differentiation strategy system, and promote the coordinated evolution of rural land use system.
