Amorphous materials are metastable solids with only short-range order at the atomic scale,
which results from local intermolecular chemical bonding. The lack of long-range order …

Phase has emerged as an important structural parameter—in addition to composition,
morphology, architecture, facet, size and dimensionality—that determines the properties and …

Noble metal nanomaterials have been widely used as catalysts. Common techniques for the
synthesis of noble metal often result in crystalline nanostructures. The synthesis of …

Pressure has long been recognized as a fundamental thermodynamic variable but its
application was previously limited by the available pressure vessels and probes. The …

Glass-to-glass transitions are useful for us to understand the glass nature, but it remains
difficult to tune the metallic glass into significantly different glass states. Here, we have …

Ni–Co amorphous double hydroxides nanomaterials with a hollow structure and tunable
Ni/Co molar ratio are synthesized using a template method. The amorphous NiCo2. 7 (OH) x …

Solids can be generally categorized by their structures into crystalline and amorphous states
with different interactions among atoms dictating their properties. Crystalline-amorphous …

MOFs featuring adjustable functions show good prospects for creating low-cost oxygen
evolution reaction (OER) electrocatalysts, but their poor stability and conductivity seriously …

The structural transformation of materials, which involves the evolution of different structural
features, including phase, composition, morphology, etc., under external conditions …

However, these high PCE values are often reached with low stability, which is mainly
associated with the structural instability of hybrid perovskites.[1, 11] Among the organometal …
