Single-phase materials with mixed ionic and electronic conductivity underpin multiple solid-state electrochemical devices as promising electrodes. In particular, triple-conducting oxides that carry protons, oxygen ions, and electron holes simultaneously have...

The electrocatalytic value of nanoparticles has attracted substantial attention in relation to energy conversion devices, including solid oxide fuel cells. Among various forms of analogs, ex‐solved metal nanoparticles originating from their parent oxides display strong particle‐substrate interactions and thus have the benefits of extended durability and of course enhanced catalytic activity. Inspired by recent advances, here, novel air‐electrode materials based on BaCoO3–δ perovskites decorated with socketed Ag nanoparticles are presented. Doping with niobium (Nb5+) and tantalum (Ta5+) can significantly promote the stability of the cubic perovskite phase. The developed oxides exhibit promising performance outcomes in the highly prized low‐to‐intermediate temperature regimes (450–650 °C). Moreover, the exclusion of Ag particles further activates the parent scaffold, thereby conveying record‐level area‐specific resistance (e.g., ≈0.02 Ω cm2 at 650 °C). Coupled with the unique nanoarchitecture, the newly designed cathode showcases in this study hold great promise for future air‐electrodes in fuel cells.

Oxygen reduction reaction, which proceeds at the cathode of a fuel cell, is primarily important as its rate determines the overall performance of the device. However, designing a single-phase material...

This paper introduces the real image Super-Resolution (SR) challenge that was part of the Advances in Image Manipulation (AIM) workshop, held in conjunction with ECCV 2020. This challenge involves three tracks to super-resolve an input image for ×2, ×3 and ×4 scaling factors, respectively. The goal is to attract more attention to realistic image degradation for the SR task, which is much more complicated and challenging, and contributes to real-world image super-resolution applications. 452 participants were registered for three tracks in total, and 24 teams submitted their results. They gauge the state-of-the-art approaches for real image SR in terms of PSNR and SSIM.
