    摘要: A method for making a catalyst comprises providing an initial compound having a perovskite lattice structure according to formula I


    M1M2M3O3   FORMULA I,

    where M1 is about 1 relative elemental ratio strontium (Sr); M2 is from greater than 0 to 0.7 relative elemental ratio and is selected from cobalt (Co), scandium (Sc), iron (Fe), nickel (Ni), and titanium (Ti); and M3 is 0.3 to 0.6 relative elemental ratio iridium (Ir). Initial exemplary compounds include SrSc0.5Ir0.5O3 (SSI) and SrCo0.5Ir0.5O3 (SCI). M1 and/or M2 cations are selectively leached from the initial compound to produce a catalyst having substantially increased catalytic performance. Cycling SSI or SCI in an acid produces SSI-H or SCI-H; cycling SSI or SCI in a base produces SSI-OH or SCI-OH. Dual-site metal leaching induced catalytic activity improvement by about 2 orders of magnitude, making reconstructed SrCo0.5Ir0.5O3 among the best-known catalysts for water oxidation in an acidic condition.

    摘要: An OFDM receiver has a first, pilot-aided channel estimation block, an output of which is provided, along with the received signal, to a first equaliser block. An output of the first equaliser block is provided, along with the received signal, to a second, data-aided channel estimation block. An output of the second channel estimation block is provided, along with the output of the first equaliser block and the received signal, to an adjustable interference cancellation block. The output of the interference cancellation block and the output of the second channel estimation block are provided to a second equaliser block. An output of the second equaliser block is provided to a de-mapping block, and is provided to the second channel estimation block and the interference cancellation block, for allowing an iterative repetition of second channel estimation, interference cancellation and second equalisation for a received signal.
