A New Approach to Characterize Superplastic Materials from Free-Forming Test and Inverse Analysis by Gillo Giuliano, Wilma Polini

“…Furthermore, the proposed procedure is compared with a conventional procedure which is also based on the inverse analysis carried out through the use of a finite element analysis. The results of the conventional procedure, based on the inverse analysis, which is conducted through the use of a finite element analysis, are used to calculate the material constants, and are compared with those coming from the procedure proposed in this work. …”

CrS₂ Supported Transition Metal Single Atoms as Efficient Bifunctional Electrocatalysts: A Density Functional Theory Study by Ying Wang

“…Theoretical calculations reveal that the Au@CrS₂ single-atom catalyst demonstrates outstanding catalytic activity, with a low overpotential of 0.34 V for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and 0.37 V for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). These results establish Au@CrS₂ as a highly effective bifunctional catalyst. …”
