Over the past decade intensive research efforts have been carried out by researchers
around the globe on exploring the effects of dilute do** of magnetic impurities on the …

Li–O2 batteries deliver ultrahigh theoretical specific energy while suffering from low energy
efficiency and poor cyclability due to sluggish kinetics of oxygen electrode reactions. Herein …

Defects are critically important for metal oxides in chemical and physical applications.
Compared with the often studied oxygen vacancies, engineering metal vacancies in n-type …

The slow rate of the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and the instability of Pt-based
catalysts are two of the most important issues that must be solved in order to make proton …

Defect engineering is one of the effective strategies to regulate and control catalyst
properties. Constructing appropriate catalytically active centers effectively tunes the …

We have investigated the formation of native defects in anatase TiO 2 using density
functional theory (DFT) modified with on-site Coulomb terms (DFT+ U) applied to both Ti d …

Cation vacancies on both sublattices (V Ti, V Sr) have been identified in homoepitaxial
pulsed laser deposited SrTiO 3 films using high intensity variable energy positron …

Silicon (Si) requires a protection layer to maintain stable and long‐time photoanodic
reaction. However, poor charge separation and transfer are key constraint factors in …

The manipulation of central atom coordination environments can greatly boost catalytic
performances and promote the understanding of associated mechanisms in both sub …

We report the chemical vapor deposition (CVD) growth, characterization, and low-
