Summary: A hydrophobic microscopic reaction environment was constructed through the modification of mesoporous silica, which helped improve the catalytic activity of the LPCE reaction. The Pt@SBA-15-tetramethyldisilazane catalyst, prepared by modifying the SBA-15 carrier and loading metal Pt, exhibited a superhydrophobic structure with a water contact angle of 158 degrees. This structure enhanced the catalytic performance and prevented catalyst deactivation. Experimental results showed that the catalyst had good catalytic activity in tritium water and maintained high activity after 30 days.

Summary: This paper investigates the problem of collision-free leader-follower formation generation and tracking of multiple fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). A novel control law based on physicomimetics approach is proposed to integrate formation generation, formation tracking, and collision avoidance. The artificial forces driven by control laws imitating physical forces are used to achieve desired collaborative behaviors and obstacle avoidance naturally. Speed constraints are also considered and modified using a saturation function. Numerical simulations and experiments are provided to verify the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme.

Summary: Designing efficient catalysts is a crucial challenge for practical applications of high-capacity hydride in fuel-cell-based hydrogen economy. In this study, platinum-functionalized Ti3C2 material with an accordion-like structure, interlayer, and surface-dispersed nanoparticles was synthesized. The catalyst, Ti3C2@Pt, reduced the initial dehydrogenation temperature of high-density hydride AlH3 by 50% to 62 °C, comparable to commercial AlH3. Moreover, it exhibited high hydrogen supplying performance and retention ratio, achieving 9.3 wt% and 98% respectively, surpassing previously reported catalysts. The exceptional dehydrogenation performance of the material makes it a practical candidate for mobile device applications with the aid of high-efficiency catalysts.
