Amorphous High-Entropy Hydroxides of Tunable Wide Solar Absorption for Solar Water Evaporation

The high-entropy materials have raised much attention in recent years due to their extraordinary performances in mechanical, catalysis, energy storage fields. Herein, a new type of high-entropy hydroxides (e.g., NiFeCoMnAl(OH)_x) that are amorphous and capable of broad solar absorption is reported. A facile one-pot co-precipitation method is employed to synthesize these amorphous high-entropy hydroxides (a-HEHOs) under ambient conditions. The a-HEHOs thus obtained display widely tunable bandgap (e.g., from 2.6 to 1.1 eV) due to their high-entropy and amorphous characteristics, enabling efficient light absorbance and photothermal conversion in the solar regime. Further solar water evaporation measurements show that the a-HEHOs delivered a considerable energy conversion efficiency of 55%, comparable to black titanium oxides that are synthesized using more complex and expensive methods.     

A new idea to construct the fractal interpolation function

The aim of this paper is to present a new idea to construct the nonlinear fractal interpolation function, in which we exploit the Matkowski and the Rakotch fixed point theorems. Our technique is different from the methods presented in the previous literatures.     

XANES/EPR Evidence of the Oxidation of Nickel(II) Quinolinylpropioamide and Its Application in Csp3−H Functionalization

An in situ generated oxidation species of nickel quinolinylpropioamide intermediate was produced. Characterization by X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) and EPR provides complementary insights into this oxidized nickel species. With aliphatic amides and isocyanides as substrates, a nickel-catalyzed facile synthesis of structurally diverse five-membered lactams could be achieved.     

Sobolev H1 geometry of the symplectomorphism group

For a closed symplectic manifold $(M,\omega )$ with compatible Riemannian metric g we study the Sobolev $H^1$ geometry of the group of all $H^s$ diffeomorphisms on M which preserve the symplectic structure. We show that, for sufficiently large s, the $H^1$ metric admits globally defined geodesics and the corresponding exponential map is a non-linear Fredholm map of index zero. Finally, we show that the $H^1$ metric carries conjugate points via some simple examples.     

Optimal packings of two to four equal circles on any flat torus

We find explicit formulas for the radii and locations of the circles in all the optimally dense packings of two, three or four equal circles on any flat torus, defined to be the quotient of the Euclidean plane by the lattice generated by two independent vectors. We prove the optimality of the arrangements using techniques from rigidity theory and topological graph theory.     

Validating additive correction schemes against gradient-based extrapolations

The use of additive correction schemes to obtain structures and vibrational frequencies of increasingly larger molecules is becoming more common. Such approaches, based on the cubic extrapolation formula applied directly to the quantity of interest, have been successfully validated only at the highest levels of computational accuracy: for coupled cluster methods with comparably large basis sets. Here, a systematic validation of geometries and vibrational frequencies is carried out, including more affordable and relevant levels of theory, such as the Møller-Plesset perturbation theory applied with smaller basis sets. Comparisons of such additive schemes against the more rigorous gradient-based extrapolation are presented. The cbs () routine of the open-source quantum-chemistry package Psi4 has been extended for this purpose. The results confirm that geometries and frequencies of covalently bound species obtained with additive correction schemes are in an excellent agreement with the results of gradient-based extrapolations. However, when applied to systems involving noncovalent interactions, the errors due to such schemes are significantly larger. In general, we propose the application of gradient-based extrapolations, as they incur no extra cost compared to additive schemes.
