Three conjugated polymers with the same donor-acceptor structure but totally different architectures are design to show both Type-I and Type-II photosensitization abilities simultaneously, among which the hyperbranched polymer shows the...
Water electrolysis is one of the most feasible ways to utilize clean and renewable energy sources in the form of hydrogen energy. However, the anodic oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is a slow kinetic process, so it is of great significance to develop efficient oxygen evolution catalysts (OECs). Many studies have shown that Ce plays an important role in high-performance transition-metal-based OECs. We discuss and summarize possible causes for the improved OER activity and stability with emphasis on the hybrids of cerium and transition metals, including cerium-doped catalysts, ceria-support catalysts and ceria-loaded catalysts. Finally, current challenges for the Ce-containing catalysts are identified, pointing to the future directions for propelling the water electrolysis research.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
