The hydrolysis of sodium tetrahydroborate is a promising way for generating hydrogen. The key element of this process is the catalyst. The present study reports the performances of Pt-based catalysts (supported over various metal oxides like TiO2 or ZrO2, with different Pt loadings, or doped with metal-‘impurities’ li…

In epitaxial films, large elastic strain originating from the lattice misfit with the substrate remains, and it could affect the elastic stiffness. However, we found that epitaxially grown Cu thin films on (001) Si show exceptionally stable stiffness: the average out-of-plane elastic constant throughout the film thick…
