DOI: 10.1088/1361-6528/acd854
Abstract: Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) has been deemed as one of the promising noble-metal-free electrocatalysts for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), but it suffers from the inert basal plane and low electronic conductivity. Regulating the morphology of MoS2… read more here.

DOI: 10.1109/lra.2022.3157401
Abstract: In this letter, we propose to turn various existing cloths, especially functional cloths, into actuators by combined embroidery technology and thin McKibben artificial muscles. Most of the textile sensors so far are made by weaving… read more here.
