Abstract:
In situ-derived boron-doped graphene quantum dots can significantly improve the activity of boron carbide nanosheets for artificial N2 fixation and reduction with superior electrocatalytic activity (NH3 yield: 28.6 μg h-1 mgcat.-1 at -0.45 V vs. RHE; faradaic efficiency: 16.7%), high electrochemical stability, and high selectivity in 0.1 M HCl under ambient conditions.

Dot Product
In engineering, the dot product of any two vectors is the product of the magnitudes of the vectors and the cosine of the angle between them. It is denoted by a dot symbol between the two vectors.
Consider a vehicle pulling an object along the ground using a rope. If the rope makes an angle with the horizontal axis, the work done can be calculated using the dot product of the force applied and the object's displacement.
The dot...
Fixation and Sectioning
The simplest type of preparation is the wet mount, in which the specimen is placed in a drop of liquid on the slide. A liquid specimen can be directly deposited on the slide using a dropper. Solid specimens, such as skin scraping, can be placed on the slide before adding a drop of liquid to prepare the wet mount. Sometimes the liquid is simply water, but stains are often added...
