Abstract
Atomically precise metal clusters serve as a unique model for unraveling the intricate mechanism of the catalytic reaction and exploring the complex relationship between structure and activity. Herein, three series of water-soluble heterometallic clusters LnCu(6), abbreviated as LnCu(6)-AC (Ln=La, Nd, Gd, Er, Yb; HAC=acetic acid), LnCu(6)-IM (Ln=La and Nd; IM=Imidazole), and LnCu(6)-IDA (Ln=Nd; H2IDA=Iminodiacetic acid) are presented, each featuring a uniform metallic core stabilized by distinct protected ligands. Crystal structure analysis reveals a triangular prism topology formed by six Cu(2+)ions around one Ln(3+)ion in LnCu(6), with variations in CuCu distances attributed to different ligands. Electrocatalytic oxygen evolution reaction (OER) shows that these different LnCu6clustersexhibit different OER activities with remarkable turnover frequency of 135 s(-1)for NdCu6-AC, 79 s(-1)for NdCu6-IM and 32 s(-1)for NdCu6-IDA. Structural analysis and Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations underscore the correlation between shorter CuCu distances and improves OER catalytic activity, emphasizing the pivotal role of active-site distance in regulating electrocatalytic OER activities. These results provide valuable insights into the OER mechanism and contribute to the design of efficient homogeneous OER electrocatalysts.

- Pretraining has recently greatly promoted the development of natural language processing (NLP)
- We show that M6 outperforms the baselines in multimodal downstream tasks, and the large M6 with 10 parameters can reach a better performance
- We propose a method called M6 that is able to process information of multiple modalities and perform both single-modal and cross-modal understanding and generation
- The model is scaled to large model with 10 billion parameters with sophisticated deployment, and the 10 -parameter M6-large is the largest pretrained model in Chinese
- Experimental results show that our proposed M6 outperforms the baseline in a number of downstream tasks concerning both single modality and multiple modalities We will continue the pretraining of extremely large models by increasing data to explore the limit of its performance
