materials, [2] and their coupled composites. [3] Among them, TM singleatom catalysts (SACs) have recently emerged as a new type of frontier materials with high activity, stability, and selectivity, rendering the great potential for diverse catalytic systems. [4] The unique electronic structure, maximized atomutilization efficiency, and unsaturated coordination bonds of the active centers in SACs contribute to the enhanced performance. [5] Moreover, recent investigations have demonstrated that the introduction of secondary metal atoms can further enhance the activity of SACs, indicating the promising development of dual-metal SACs. [6] Nevertheless, on the one hand, there is a serious lack of effective strategies to achieve the atomic control of targeted reactive sites comprising binary metal atoms; on the other hand, the identification of the diatomic structure in dual-metal SACs and the deeper functional mechanism of bimetallic atoms for synergistic catalysis are still in their infancy.Owing to the increasing concerns from energy and environmental issues, growing attention has been paid on developing sustainable energy conversion and storage technologies, such as water-splitting electrolyzers, fuel cells, metal-air batteries, etc. [7] However, the sluggish kinetics of oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) on the electrodes has been proven to With the inspiration of developing bifunctional electrode materials for reversible oxygen electrocatalysis, one strategy of heteroatom doping is proposed to fabricate dual metal single-atom catalysts. However, the identification and mechanism functions of polynary single-atom structures remain elusive. Atomically dispersed binary Co-Ni sites embedded in N-doped hollow carbon nanocubes (denoted as CoNi-SAs/NC) are synthesized via proposed pyrolysis of dopamine-coated metalorganic frameworks. The atomically isolated bimetallic configuration in CoNi-SAs/NC is identified by combining microscopic and spectroscopic techniques. When employing as oxygen electrocatalysts in alkaline medium, the resultant CoNi-SAs/NC hybrid manifests outstanding catalytic performance for bifunctional oxygen reduction/evolution reactions, boosting the realistic rechargeable zinc-air batteries with high efficiency, low overpotential, and robust reversibility, superior to other counterparts and state-of-the-art precious-metal catalysts. Theoretical computations based on density functional theory demonstrate that the homogenously dispersed single atoms and the synergistic effect of neighboring Co-Ni dual metal center can optimize the adsorption/desorption features and decrease the overall reaction barriers, eventually promoting the reversible oxygen electrocatalysis. This work not only sheds light on the controlled synthesis of atomically isolated advanced materials, but also provides deeper understanding on the structure-performance relationships of nanocatalysts with multiple active sites for various catalytic applications.To date, large numbers of low cost and efficie...

The size effect of transition‐metal nanoparticles on electrocatalytic performance remains ambiguous especially when decreasing the size to the atomic level. Herein, we report the spatial isolation of cobalt species on the atomic scale, which was achieved by tuning the zinc dopant content in predesigned bimetallic Zn/Co zeolitic imidazole frameworks (ZnCo‐ZIFs), and led to the synthesis of nanoparticles, atomic clusters, and single atoms of Co catalysts on N‐doped porous carbon. This synthetic strategy allowed an investigation of the size effect on electrochemical behavior from nanometer to Ångström dimensions. Single‐atom Co catalysts showed superior bifunctional ORR/OER activity, durability, and reversibility in Zn–air batteries compared with the other derivatives and noble‐metal Pt/C+RuO2, which was attributed to the high reactivity and stability of isolated single Co atoms. Our findings open up a new avenue to regulate the metal particle size and catalytic performance of MOF derivatives.

We discuss the main challenges for the fabrication of emerging microLED displays. We shown that microtube technology is very well adapted to these new kind of displays, since it provides both mechanical and electrical connection of the microLEDs on the receiving substrate. Also, we present a new fabrication approach, where an elementary unit consists of all-in-one-RBG MicroLEDs on CMOS driving circuit.

[1] Results of clay mineralogy, major element geochemistry, and Sr and Nd isotopes in 93 argillaceous samples collected from drainage basins of the Pearl, Red, and Mekong rivers reveal different degrees of chemical weathering in Southeast Asia despite similar climate conditions across these regions. The kaolinite/illite ratio, illite chemistry index, and illite crystallinity can be used as indicators of chemical weathering intensity. These mineralogical proxies combined with the K 2 O/(Na 2 O + CaO) molar ratio, chemical index of alteration (CIA), and weathering trends observed from major element results indicate intensive silicate weathering in the Pearl River basin, moderate to intensive in the Mekong River basin, and moderate in the Red River basin. Although a significant modification of eNd (0) Sr ratios are controlled by various states of chemical weathering of high-Sr minerals such as plagioclase (rich in Na and Ca) with a linear decrease trend from the Pearl, Mekong, to Red river basins. Our results suggest that it is not the warm climate with heavy monsoon precipitation but tectonics playing the most significant role in controlling weathering and erosion processes in south China and Indochina Peninsula. Strong physical erosion caused by tectonic activities and river incision along the eastern margin of the Tibetan Plateau and along the Red River fault system is responsible for high contents of primary minerals in the lowlands of Red and Mekong river basins.
