“…It also agrees perfectly with other DFT calculations and experiments . A further comparison with other surface models, as described in our previous work, showed that Pt(111) substituted with Ru and Mo at the same time is the lowest barrier to H 2 O dissociation. Alloying Pt(111) with only Ru atoms reduces the activation energy to 0.56 eV, and the reaction is endothermic at 0.36 eV.…”

In our proposed surface model, a water molecule on the PtRuMo surface absorbed at the top of the Mo atom. , Since the adsorption of H 2 O molecules over Pt(111)–Ru–Mo is strongest compared to other alloy models, this interaction is dissociative according to the predictions of Hammer and Nørskov .

A theoretical study
based on density functional theory for H
2
O dissociation
on the metal surface of Pt(111) alloyed simultaneously
with Ru and Mo was performed. The determination of the minimum energy
path using the climbing image nudged elastic band (CI-NEB) method
shows that the dissociation reaction of H
2
O with this catalyst
requires almost no energy cost. This dissociation reaction is not
only kinetically favored but also almost thermodynamically neutral
and somewhat exothermic. The electronic structure analysis showed
that much more charge was released in Mo and was used to bind the
adsorbed hydroxyl (OH
ad
). Further analyses of the density
of states (DOS) showed that the large number of orbitals that overlap
when OH binds to Mo are responsible for the stabilization of the OH-surface
bond. The stability of the OH
ad
fragment on the surface
is believed to be a descriptor for the dissociation of H
2
O with an almost spontaneous process.

Charging power supplies with both fast and visualization functions have a wide range of applications in the information and new energy industries. In this paper, the visualized and contact‐type fast charging power supply based on WO3 film and Zn sheet is presented, and the prototype devices are fabricated. Different with the charging method of conventional batteries, charging is achieved by a Zn sheet contacting with a WO3 film moistened with water, resulting in a rapid discoloration of WO3. Theoretical investigation indicates that the interaction between Zn sheet and water molecules is the primary cause of the color change in the WO3 film. The WO3 film completes the colouring state within 10 s in the presence of Zn sheet and water, and the open‐circuit voltage of the device is 0.7 V, which can be used to drive various electronics by series‐parallel connection. This research introduces a novel method to induce colouring of WO3 films and proposes a fast charging mode different from traditional power sources. It provides valuable insights for the future development of fast charging in the field of electrical energy.
