Abstract:
High-entropy LnBaCo2O5+δ perovskites are explored as rSOC air electrodes, though high configuration entropy (Sconfig) alone poorly correlates with performance due to multifactorial interactions. We systematically engineer LnBaCo2O5+δ perovskites (Ln = lanthanides) with tunable Sconfig and 20 consistent parameters, employing Bayesian-optimized symbolic regression to decode activity descriptors. The model identifies synergistic contributions from Sconfig, ionic radius, and electronegativity, enabling screening of 177,100 compositions. Three validated oxides exhibit superior activity/durability, particularly (Pr0.05La0.4Nd0.2Sm0.1Y0.25)BaCo2O5+δ, showing enhanced oxygen vacancy concentration and disordered transport pathways. First-principles studies reveal optimized charge transfer kinetics via cobalt-oxygen bond modulation. Further, the interplay between first ionization energy, atomic mass, and ionic Lewis acidity dictates stability. This data-driven approach establishes a quantitative framework bridging entropy engineering and catalytic functionality in complex oxides.

Conjugated systems containing an even number of π-electron pairs undergo a conrotatory ring closure. For example, thermal electrocyclization of (2E,4E)-2,4-hexadiene, a conjugated diene containing two π-electron pairs, gives trans-3,4-dimethylcyclobutene.

Spontaneous redox reactions occur abundantly in nature. The chemical reaction occurring in a disposable AA battery powering our remote controls is one such example of a spontaneous redox reaction. Another example is the immersion of coiled copper wire into an aqueous silver nitrate solution. The reaction shows a gradual, visually impressive color change from colorless to bright blue and the formation of a grey precipitate on the copper wire. In this experiment,...
