Co-expression of multi-genes for polynary perovskite electrocatalysts for reversible solid oxide cells

Polynary perovskite oxides are promising air electrodes for rSOCs, with configuration entropy (S_config) often linked to reactivity. However, high S_config alone does not strongly correlate with performance. This study develops a model identifying key descriptors to guide high-activity oxide discovery.

Topological phases of matter are determined by its symmetries and dimension. Here the authors show that in non-Hermitian systems, such as those with gain and loss, time-reversal and particle-hole symmetries are equivalent to each other, unifying otherwise distinct topological classes and leading to emergent non-Hermitian topological phases.
