Abstract Replacing the oxidation of water with the electrocatalytic oxidation of methanol is an attractive route to level the cost of H2 production with value-added chemicals; however, this reaction has been notoriously known for quickly poisoning electrocatalysts and/or sliding into complete oxidation, thereby producing CO2. Here, we report an acid-stable Ru metal atom array that is supported by MnO2 nanofibers (Ru-MAC/MnO2) for the electrocatalytic valorization of methanol to methyl formate (MF). The productivity of MF is 10 to 100 times higher than those reported in thermal- and photocatalytic processes at commercially viable current densities. Our experimental and simulation results demonstrate that the atom array possesses long-term electrochemical stability and prefers the MF pathway without generating *CO intermediates. The synergistic intersite metal–metal and metal–support electronic interactions endow Ru-MAC/MnO2 with outstanding structural stability toward large-current-density methanol electrolysis.

tài xỉu mình ghé thử cho biết vì thấy mọi người nhắc hoài, chủ yếu tò mò giao diện họ viết kiểu gì. Lướt một vòng thấy trang trình bày khá “thoáng”, chia đoạn ngắn nên đọc nhanh không bị ngợp. Mình thích nhất chỗ họ tóm luật ngay trong phần nội dung: chơi 3 viên xúc xắc, tổng 4–10 là Xỉu, 11–17 là Tài, còn có nhắc luôn ngoại lệ bộ ba đồng số nên đỡ phải đoán mò. Không phải kiểu nhồi chữ, mà đọc vài dòng là nắm được ý chính rồi. Kéo xuống thấy các tiêu đề đặt rõ ràng, mỗi khối nội dung tách bạch nên nhìn phát biết đang ở phần nào trên trang.

Wow, this article on solid-state battery anode chemistries is fascinating and super important for future tech! All this complex science makes you appreciate tools that simplify other parts of life. For instance, when I'm just trying to nail down website aesthetics, a good RGBA to HEX Color Converter is always a lifesaver.
