Oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is of utmost signi?cance for renewable and sustainable energy systems, such as fuel cells and metal-air batteries. One major bottleneck for their commercial application lies in the sluggish kinetics of ORR at the cathode. Exploring stable non-precious catalys...more |

Environmentally friendly energy-conversion technologies, such as fuel cells and water-splitting systems, have attracted considerable attention. However, application of these electrochemical devices is hindered due to the high energy barrier of oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and hydrogen evo...more |

Metagenomics - the study of genetic material from an environmental sample - is growing as species evolve or are discovered across the globe. To correlate the newly developed microbiomes with existing data sets, a team of researchers based in China has developed the Microbiome Search Engine 2...more |
