Summary: This study develops efficient and stable Ni/Ln(2)O(3) hybrid electrocatalysts for industrial alkaline water electrolysis. The introduced Ln(2)O(3) promoter greatly enhances the active-site density, reduces the energy barrier of water dissociation, optimizes the free energy of hydrogen adsorption, and prevents the oxidation corrosion of Ni. The Ni/Yb2O3 catalyst outperforms metallic Ni and Pt/C catalysts in terms of low overpotential, low Tafel slope, and excellent long-term durability.

Summary: By hybridizing TiO2 photocatalyst with CaCO3 as the wall material and using linseed oil as the core material, self-cleaning and self-repairing microcapsules were produced using in-situ precipitation. The microcapsules were evaluated for their morphology, chemical composition, thermal stability, and self-cleaning and self-repairing properties. Results showed that the microcapsules had a rough and spherical surface, along with excellent thermal stability and repeatability. Increasing the dosage of microcapsules significantly increased the degradation rate of methylene blue, while the self-repairing effect of micro-cracks became more evident. The optimal microcapsule dosage was found to be 7.0 wt%.
