Our latest work is now published in Nature Communications! 🥳🥳🥳
We show how solvent adsorption tunes electron redistribution to enhance surface hardness and maximize the mechanical nanosizing effect in magnesium systems.

Our latest work was now avalible in @NatureComms!

We report how the multi-compnent/phase Mg alloy modifies itself under high H2 Pressure. We also discussed the its impact on hydrogen storage capability.

The photo-catalyzed ammonia synthesis project we participated was recently published from @NatureSynthesis 🥳🥳🥳
We discussed the impact of multi active sites and hot electrons to nitrogen activation and spilover.

研究自体が本質で論文量産しても仕方ないというのは一見正しいがシニアの論理なんよな。博士学生を始めジュニア研究者は論文を書く事で成長していく。世界的には博士学生が主力で論文書くのに日本はこの層がないから、アマチュアの学部修士かクソ忙しいテニュアが激務の傍ら主著で論文を書く異様な状況

[Lu Lab @lu_lab_cqu]

Our latest work on Mg-based hydrogen storage composite was published from AFM! 😀
We reported that late-transition metal based catalysts is helpful to supress side reactions and imrpve cycle properties.

De/hydrogenation of Mg is a gas-solid phase reaction with multiple kinetic processes. We reported that Ti and Ni dual active sites can simultaneously accerelate complicated kinetics with high stability.

Our latest research was just published from JMA! We studied the synergestic role of Ti-MgO and late transition metal oxides on the complicated de/hydrogenation kinetics.😀

double-blind peer review

[Publishing with Integrity @fake_journals]

Who reviewed this paper?

A few days ago @gcabanac tweeted about a paper that had published a remark that it had been forced to cite irrelevant papers. You can see the tweet here: https://t.co/FpSr5QLPfW. We remarked that if it was not so serious, it would be funny.

Since reading that tweet, we have not been able to get it out of our head, so we thught that we would document it in a little more detail. We are doing this for three reasons.

1️⃣ In our view, it descerves more detail to be made available.

2️⃣ We'd like these details to be be kept as a matter of public record, so we are posting similar posts on our X account and our LinkedIn account.

3️⃣ It should be of interest to this community, so we hope that this raises even further the ethical issues around this topic.

The first image shows the paper that we are looking at. What is interesting is the text that appears on at the end of the introduction (highlighted in red). This appears to show that the reviewer insisted that a set of 13 papers be cited, else they would not accept the paper. It would be interesting to see the review repport, so that we could be certain what had been said. If you want to see the paper, it is available here: https://t.co/mlv5UDdp5T

In the rest of this 🧵, we show the papers that have been asked to be cited (i.e. [35]-[47]). These have been taken from the paper mentioned above. You'll notice (as we have highlighted it) that every paper is "et al." meaning, of course, that there are quite a few authors on each paper.

Gicven that we cannot see all the authors, the other images on this 🧵 shows the full set of authors on each of these 13 papers.

We leave it an an exercise for the reader to hazard a guess as to the reviewr is?

Today I learnt the transition metals are mostly Trump, except manganese, while p block and noble gas are democrat.

[Lu Lab @lu_lab_cqu]

Our latest paper studying "microscopic" scaling relation of Ti-based catalysts was published online!
This concept would provide a new rare-metal-free catalyst design concept for de/hydrogenation reactions😄😄
