In this paper, we systematically proposed the strategy of tailoring strain delocalization to
evade long-standing strength-ductility trade-off dilemma. The scientific contribution is to …

Heterogeneous catalysts often undergo structural transformations when they operate under
thermal reaction conditions. These transformations are reflected in their evolving catalytic …

Multi–principal element alloys (MPEAs) exhibit outstanding mechanical properties because
the core effect of severe atomic lattice distortion is distinctly different from that of traditional …

Most engineering materials are based on multiphase microstructures produced either
through the control of phase equilibria or by the fabrication of different materials as in thin …

Imaging a reaction taking place at the molecular level could provide direct information for
understanding the catalytic reaction mechanism. We used in situ environmental …

Based on the growing power of computational capabilities and algorithmic developments,
with the help of data-driven and high-throughput calculations, a new paradigm accelerating …

Metal catalysts are of great importance in the modern chemical industry. It is well-known that
the structures of metal catalysts determine their properties. However, recent studies …

Three-dimensional bimetallic nanoframes with high spatial diffusivity and surface
heterogeneity possess remarkable catalytic activities owing to their highly exposed active …

Traditionally, precipitates in a material are thought to serve as obstacles to dislocation glide
and cause hardening of the material. This conventional wisdom, however, fails to explain …

Chemical short-range order (SRO) within a nominally single-phase solid solution is known
to affect the mechanical properties of alloys. While SRO has been indirectly related to …
