Electrocatalytic N2 reduction reaction (NRR) is recognized as a zero-carbon emission method for NH3 synthesis. However, to date, this technology still suffers from low yield and selectivity associated with the catalyst. Herein, inspired by activation of lithium metal, highly reactive defective black phosphorene (D−BPene) proposed lithium-like catalyst boosting electrochemical activation. Corres...

The diagonal model (DM) is a recently published nonrandomized response (NRR) survey method to collect data on categorical sensitive characteristics Y ∗. Based on DM data, the distribution of Y ∗ can be estimated. In contrast to randomized response (RR) techniques, NRR schemes avoid the use of a randomization device. Due to this fact, survey complexity and study costs decrease. In this article, ...

This paper presents a novel point based non-rigid registration (NRR) method. We overcome the limitations of the traditional point-based NRR methods by using a biomechanical model with a Robust Point Matching framework. Our new framework relies on robust regression technique to handle sparse point sets which are partially correlated. The non-rigid registration problem is formulated as a two vari...

Ammonia production via the electrochemical N2 reduction reaction (NRR) at ambient conditions is highly desired as an alternative to Haber-Bosch process, but remains a great challenge due low efficiency and selectivity caused by competing hydrogen evolution (HER). Herein we investigate effect of availabilities reactants (protons, electrons N2) on NRR using FeOx-coated carbon fiber paper cathode ...

Anammox is a novel and efficient nitrogen removal technique, while the long start-up time limits its industrial application, thus carriers are always utilized to accelerate start-ups. Meanwhile, preservation of anammox bacteria key element in application. Therefore, it also quite significant evaluate effect reactivation process after preservation. Through addition polyurethane sponge upflow ana...

Nitrogen reduction reaction (NRR) and nitrate (NO3−RR) provide a potential sustainable route by which to produce ammonia, next-generation energy carrier. Many studies have been conducted over the years, mainly emphasizing material design strategies improve catalytic performance. Despite significant achievements in corresponding fundamental knowledge, produced ammonia is still very limited, make...

The typical Haber technical process for industrial NH 3 production involves plenty of energy-consumption and large quantities greenhouse gas emission. In contrast, electrochemical N 2 reduction proffers environment-friendly energy-efficient avenues to synthesize at mild conditions but demands efficient electrocatalysts the reaction (NRR). Herein we report first time that commercial indium-tin o...

Electrocatalytic nitrogen reduction reaction (NRR) can realize the green production of ammonia while developing electrocatalysts with high selectivity and ability is still an ongoing challenge. Two-dimensional (2D) graphitic carbon nitride (CN) frameworks provide abundant hollow sites for stably anchoring several transition metal (TM) atoms to facilitate single-cluster catalysis, promising over...

The electrochemical nitrogen reduction reaction (NRR) is a promising alternative to the current greenhouse gas emission intensive process produce ammonia (NH 3 ) from (N 2 ). However, finding an electrocatalyst that promotes NRR over competing hydrogen evolution (HER) has proven be difficult. This difficulty could potentially addressed by accelerating development for orders of magnitude using h...
