The enthalpy change involved in metal oxide reduction is a key quantity in various processes related to energy conversion and storage and is of particular interest for computational prediction. Often this prediction involves the simulation of a high-temperature reduction process with a 0-K methodology like density functional theory (DFT), and it is not infrequent for the high temperature and 0-K stable crystal structures to differ. This introduces a conundrum with regard to the choice of crystal structure to utilize in the computation, with approaches in the literature varying and experimental validation remaining scarce. In this work, we address both the crystal structure conundrum and the experimental validation, and then apply the insights we gain to guide a high-throughput search for new materials for solar thermochemical water-splitting applications. By computing the DFT+U oxygen-vacancy formation energy (ΔEvf) of a selection of ABO3 compounds and comparing different crystal structures for each composition, we highlight the issues that arise when the structure utilized in the computation is dynamically unstable at 0 K, namely the presence of an artificial lowering of ΔEvf, and the lack of convergence of ΔEvf with cell size. We solve these limitations by identifying and employing a suitable surrogate dynamically stable structure. We then validate the predictive power of our calculations against appositely generated experimental measurements of reduction enthalpy for a series of Hubbard U values, finding an accuracy ranging between 0.2–0.6 eV/O. In light of such conclusions, we revise and expand a previous a high-throughput DFT study on ABO3 perovskite oxides. We provide a list of candidate STCH materials, highlight trends with redox-active cation and structural distortion, and identify Mn4+, Mn3+, and Co3+ as the most promising redox-active cations.

In this paper, impedance characteristics of real car body is measured toward implementation of capacitive power transfer through automotive paintings. In measurement of car impedance, capacitive coupling electrodes are applied at three different positions in order to observe impedance characteristics changed for different positions. After measurement, equivalent circuit at the different electrode positions are estimated for realization of further efficient capacitive power transfer.

Nowadays, the use of accelerators in high performance computing has become more common than ever before. The most used accelerators must be the Graphics Processing Unit (GPU). It has emerged as an important component in most of the parallel computing scenarios, surpassing the capabilities of the traditional Central Processing Unit (CPU) in perspective of both performance and energy efficiency.
