A Cu2B2 monolayer with planar hypercoordinate motifs: an efficient catalyst for CO electroreduction to ethanol

J. Mater. Chem. A, 2020, Advance Article
DOI: 10.1039/D0TA02471F, Paper
Jingjing Jia, Haijun Zhang, Zhongxu Wang, Jingxiang Zhao, Zhen Zhou
By means of first-principles computations, we identified that metallic Cu2B2 monolayer with planar heptacoordinate motifs could effectively reduce CO to ethanol through the “carbene” mechanism with a low limiting potential and a small barrier for C–C coupling.

TONIGHT: "Fearless" with Alice McDermott

I“Fearless: A Tribute to Irish American Women,” features novelist Alice McDermott in conversation with Pennsylvania Rep. Mary Gay Scanlon and CBS News’ Margaret Brennan.

McDermott’s critically acclaimed eighth novel, “The Ninth Hour,” set in Irish Brooklyn, was a finalist for the 2017 National Book Critics Circle Award and the 2017 Kirkus Prize for Fiction. Time magazine, The Wall Street Journal, NPR and others named the novel among the top works of fiction in 2017. McDermott is known for her portrayals of Irish American family life.

Scanlon is an education and human rights advocate representing Pennsylvania’s 5th District. She was first sworn in as a member of Congress on Nov. 13, 2018. Brennan is moderator of CBS News’ “Face the Nation” and the network’s senior foreign affairs correspondent based in Washington. All three women will discuss their Irish backgrounds and family stories.

Watch TONIGHT Thursday, Feb. 6 at 7pm ET on the Library's YouTube channel.

NEWS: Library Buildings Closed Until Further Notice

Out of an abundance of caution, all Library of Congress buildings and facilities will be closed to the public, including researchers and others with reader identification cards, until further notice to reduce the risk of transmitting COVID-19 coronavirus. The Library has reduced the number of people in Library buildings to a very small number of necessary individuals.

Web Tools #348 - Remote Work, CSS Tools, React, Build Tools

Web Tools Weekly

Have Happier, More Productive Video Meetings
Team.video makes it easier and faster for remote teams to work together by offering user friendly video meetings with agendas, collaborative notes, and emoji responses. No download required and it’s free to use.
Try Team.video for FREE!

What's happening around the world right now is unprecedented, but I don't think I have to tell you that. Wherever you are, I hope you and our family members are healthy and I hope you've been able to continue some semblance of work, assuming you're able to do your job remotely, as most developers probably are.

I think most of us that didn't previously work remotely will be looking for or recommending new tools for our remote teams, and even the occasional article on remote work life and work culture will be greatly beneficial.

Productivity is essential during the current pandemic

Over the past year, I've been curating a second newsletter that you might enjoy if you've been newly converted to remote work. It's called Tech Productivity, and it's always a brief newsletter with about 10-12 links that include productivity-related tools (like video conferencing, Slack plugins, note taking apps, etc.) as well as productivity-related articles.

Some of the articles cover things like brain science while others are just simple tip-based posts on freelancing and working on side projects. Basically, any kind of content that can help tech workers be more productive. And if you're missing the "productivity tools" category that I used to include in this newsletter, well those tools are now in Tech Productivity, so this one can stay focused on developer-related tools.
 

Now on to this week's tools!
 

CSS and HTML Tools
