Rechargeable metal-air batteries generally require efficient,durable,and safe bifunctional electrocatalysts to simultaneously support oxygen reduction/evolution reactions(ORR/OER).Herein,we employed first-principles calculations to explore the structure-activity relationship between the composition control of metal atoms and the catalytic activity of Pt-doped Ti_(2-x) Mn_(x) CO_(2) single-atom catalysts(SACs).The research found a clear linear relationship between the proportion of Mn and bifunctional performance,which can effectively modulate catalytic ***,it shows excellent bifunctional catalytic activity at medium concentrations,among which the catalyst of Pt-V_(O)-Ti_(0.89) Mn_(1.11) CO_(2) displays the lowest overpo-tential(η^(ORR/OER)=0.26/0.28 V).Attributed to the modulation of the average magnetism of Mn and the d-band center of Pt by different com ponents,the bonding strength of the active center of Pt to adsorption intermediates is changed,resulting in the enhancement of the catalyst ***,the molecular orbital-level bonding between the active site Pt and the adsorbed intermediate OH is clarified,shedding light on the involvement of the partially occupied antibonding state of Pt’s d orbital in the activation *** research extensively explores the control of catalyst activity through composition,offering strong support for designing and optimizing highly active Janus MXene-supported SACs.

We revisit the magnetic properties of the hexagonal ferrite PbFe12−xGaxO19. Recent experiments have reported puzzling dependences of the ordering temperature and the saturation magnetization on the Ga concentration x. To explain these observations, we perform large-scale Monte Carlo simulations, focusing on the effects of an unequal distribution of the Ga impurities over the five distinct Fe sublattices. Ab initio density-functional calculations predict that the Ga ions preferably occupy the 12k sublattice and (to a lesser extent) the 2a sublattice. We incorporate this insight into a nonuniform model of the Ga distribution. Monte Carlo simulations using this model lead to an excellent agreement between the theoretical and experimental values of the ordering temperature and saturation magnetization, indicating that the unequal distribution of the Ga impurities is the main reason for the unusual magnetic properties of PbFe12−xGaxO19. We also compute the temperature and concentration dependences of the sublattice magnetizations, and we study the character of the zero-temperature transition that takes place when the ordering temperature is tuned to zero.

In this work, basalt fiber reinforced polymer(BFRP) with enhanced electrical, mechanical properties and in-situ damage self-sensing capability was prepared using carboxylic carbon nanotubes(COOH-CNTs) modified BF fabrics via electrophoretic deposition(EPD) at different voltages. The BFRP with BF fabrics modified at a deposition voltage of 20 V(EPD20-BFRP) showed the lowest electrical resistivity. Compared with unmodified BFRP, the tensile and flexual moduli of EPD20-BFRP increased by 37.5 % and 14.9 %, respectively. Single-layer EPD20-BFRP exhibited a high gauge factor(GF) of 44.3 during tensile damage self-sensing. The acoustic emission(AE) signals during tensile and flexual damage process agreed well with the relative resistance changes(RRC),which confirmed different damage stages within loading process, such as elastic deformation, damage evolution,crack coalescence, and complete fracture. In addition, the multi-layer BFRP containing a single-layer EPD20-BFRP on the upper or lower surface of laminate exhibited distinct electrical signal responses subjected to the flexural loading.
