In operando-formed interface between silver and perovskite oxide for efficient electroreduction of carbon dioxide to carbon monoxide

Electrochemical carbon dioxide (CO₂) reduction (ECR) is a promising technology to produce valuable fuels and feedstocks from CO₂. Despite large efforts to develop ECR catalysts, the investigation of the catalytic performance and electrochemical behavior of complex metal oxides, especially perovskite oxides, is rarely...

Size and Topology Optimization for Trusses with Discrete Design Variables by Improved Firefly Algorithm

Firefly Algorithm (FA, for short) is inspired by the social behavior of fireflies and their phenomenon of bioluminescent communication. Based on the fundamentals of FA, two improved strategies are proposed to conduct size and topology optimization for trusses with discrete design variables. Firstly, development of structural topology...
