A study published by Prof. Hee-Tae Jung’s group on the efficient production of renewable energy through the search for optimal bifunctional multimetallic alloy catalysts has shown promising results. The study used a Pareto active learning framework and carbothermal shock method for nanoparticle synthesis to efficiently determine optimal metallic compositions for bifunctional catalysts of up to four component elements for electrocatalytic reactions. The approach can be extended to different catalytic reaction fields and other multifunctional applications....read more
P substitution in Cu2WS4 was found to induce numerous basal plane defects, which increase the active sites for -OH adsorption/desorption and improve efficiency of the oxygen evolution reaction. ...read more
