AB  - Efficient cathodes for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) in acidic
water electrolysis rely on the use of expensive platinum group metals (PGMs). However, to
achieve economically viable operation, both the content of PGMs must be reduced and
their intrinsically strong H adsorption mitigated. Herein, we show that the surface effects of
hydrogenated TiO2 nanotube (TNT) arrays can make osmium, a so far less-explored PGM,
a highly active HER electrocatalyst. These defect-rich TiO2 nanostructures provide an
interactive scaffold for the galvanic deposition of Os particles with modulated adsorption
properties. Through systematic investigations, we identify the synthesis conditions (OsCl3
concentration/temperature/reaction time) that yield a progressive improvement in Os
deposition rate and mass loading, thereby decreasing the HER overpotential. At the same
time, the Os particles deposited by this procedure remain mainly sub-nanometric and
entirely cover the inner tube walls. An optimally balanced Os@TNT composite prepared at
3 mM/55 °C/30 min exhibits a record low overpotential (η) of 61 mV at a current density
of 100 mA cm−2, a high mass activity of 20.8 A mgOs
−1 at 80 mV, and a stable performance in an acidic medium. Density functional
theory calculations indicate the existence of strong interactions between the hydrogenated TiO2 surface and small Os clusters, which
may weaken the Os−H* binding strength and thus boost the intrinsic HER activity of Os centers. The results presented in this study
offer new directions for the fabrication of cost-effective PGM-based catalysts and a better understanding of the synergistic electronic
interactions at the PGM|TiO2 interface.

AB  - To investigate the effect of synthesis procedure and sintering temperature on the functional properties of perovskite/spinel ceramics, BaTiO3/CoFe2O4 composites were prepared by thermal decomposition, coprecipitation, and microemulsion method, and sintered at 1150°C and 1300°C. The phase composition and morphology of as-prepared powders as well as sintered ceramics were thoroughly examined by X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) coupled with electron dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). The dielectric and ferroelectric measurements were performed in detail. Generally, the samples sintered at 1300°C had better performances than those sintered at 1150°C. The composite synthesized by thermal decomposition and sintered at 1300 °C stands out among other prepared BaTiO3/CoFe2O4 ceramics, owing to high stability in the wide frequency range and low leakage currents. The obtained results indicate that such composite might be successfully applied as a functional multiferroic.

AB  - To investigate the influence of spinel structure and sintering temperature on the functional properties of BaTiO3/NixZn1−xFe2O4 (x = 0, 0.5, 1), NiFe2O4, ZnFe2O4, and Ni0.5Zn0.5Fe2O4 were in situ prepared by thermal decomposition onto BaTiO3 surface from acetylacetonate precursors. As-prepared powders were additionally sintered at 1150 °C and 1300 °C. X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) coupled with electron dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) were used for the detailed examination of phase composition and morphology. The magnetic, dielectric, and ferroelectric properties were investigated. The optimal phase composition in the BaTiO3/NiFe2O4 composite, sintered at 1150 °C, resulted in a wide frequency range stability. Additionally, particular phase composition indicates favorable properties such as low conductivity and ideal-like hysteresis loop behavior. The favorable properties of BaTiO3/NiFe2O4 make this particular composite an ideal material choice for further studies on applications of multi-ferroic devices.
