Scientists develop sub-5 nm Ru-based alloy catalysts for efficient water splitting
RUM/CNTS (M = Cu, Rh, and PD) composite size/composition. Credit: Ye Yixing A research team led by Professor Liang Changhao of the HEFEI Institute of Physical Sciences at the Chinese Academy of Sciences has developed a new method for synthesizing carbon nanotube (CNT)-supported intermetallic ram (M=Cu, RH, and PD) synthesis. Their findings are published in Advanced Science. Sub-5 nm RU-based…

New transformer-based model for identifying alloy properties
In this study, we introduce AlloyBERT, a transformer encoder model tuned to predict properties such as elastic modulus and yield strength of alloys based on text input. Credit: https://github.com/cakshat/AlloyBERT?tab=readme-ov-file Determining alloy properties can be expensive and time consuming. Experiments with alloys are often resource intensive. Alloy calculations can also be very complex, with a seemingly infinite number of configurations of…

Team synthesizes cost-effective and durable non-precious metal alloy as an alternative to iridium oxide anodes
Credit: Yoshikazu Ito Despite the growing importance of hydrogen as a future energy source, transporting gaseous hydrogen safely and on a large scale remains challenging. Researchers are exploring ways to transport hydrogen in the form of liquid methylcyclohexane (MCH) by reacting it with toluene. One such approach is organic hydride electrosynthesis. In this process, toluene is transferred from the cathode…
