Influence of alloying elements on the mechanical and thermodynamic properties of ZrB2 boride

Y. Pan et al.

Summary: It is found that the introduction of transition metal elements can enhance the mechanical and thermodynamic properties of ZrB2, and particularly, W doping can significantly improve the bulk modulus and ductility of ZrB2. This is because the transition metal elements improve the electronic interaction between B and Zr atoms and enhance the localized hybridization of B-B and W-B atoms in ZrB2. In addition, these transition metals also enhance the Debye temperature of ZrB2, further improving its performance.

Enhancing catalytic properties of noble metal@MoS2/WS2 heterojunction for the hydrogen evolution reaction

Shuang Chen et al.

Summary: Transition metal disulfides, such as MoS2 and WS2, have the potential to be efficient catalysts for hydrogen evolution reaction. However, their practical application is hindered by issues like inert basic plane and low electrical conductivity. To overcome these limitations, we have constructed a heterojunction of MoS2/WS2 and doped it with transition metal elements (Pt and Pd). Our results show that the Pt-doped heterojunction (Pt@MoS2/Pt@WS2) exhibits high catalytic activity for hydrogen evolution, with a low energy barrier. This enhanced performance can be attributed to the unique heterostructure, narrowed band gap, new impurity levels, and charge distribution characteristics of the heterojunction.
