Abstract
Oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is a widely employed half-electrode reaction in oxygen electrochemistry, in applications such as hydrogen evolution, carbon dioxide reduction, ammonia synthesis, and electrocatalytic hydrogenation. Unfortunately, its slow kinetics limits the commercialization of such applications. It is therefore highly imperative to develop highly robust electrocatalysts with high activity, long-term durability, and low noble-metal contents. Previously intensive efforts have been made to introduce the advancements on developing non-precious transition metal electrocatalysts and their OER mechanisms. Electronic structure tuning is one of the most effective and interesting ways to boost OER activity and spin angular momentum is an intrinsic property of the electron. Therefore, modulation on the spin states and the magnetic properties of the electrocatalyst enables the changes on energy associated with interacting electron clouds with radical absorbance, affecting the OER activity and stability. Given that few review efforts have been made on this topic, in this review, the-state-of-the-art research progress on spin-dependent effects in OER will be briefed. Spin engineering strategies, such as strain, crystal surface engineering, crystal doping, etc., will be introduced. The related mechanism for spin manipulation to boost OER activity will also be discussed. Finally, the challenges and prospects for the development of spin catalysis are presented. This review aims to highlight the significance of spin engineering in breaking the bottleneck of electrocatalysis and promoting the practical application of high-efficiency electrocatalysts.

Abstract
Lanthanum-based LnBO3 perovskite oxides have demonstrated fascinating magnetic properties and spin–lattice coupling. In this work, we report an unusual thermal expansion anomaly coupled with the magnetic ordering in the cubic CeTiO3 with the vacancy of Ce ions. The magnetic behaviors and lattice thermal expansion at low temperature were systematically investigated using the temperature dependence of the magnetization measurements and low temperature X-ray powder diffraction. It is clearly revealed that there are two magnetic transitions in the cubic CeTiO3 from 5 to 350 K: one is a magnetic ordering–disordering transition at 300 K and the other one might be a change of the magnetic component near 32 K. Both the magnetization and hysteresis change correspondingly upon cooling. Intriguingly, a lattice thermal expansion anomaly is found below the magnetic ordering temperature, which indicates a strong coupling of spin and lattice, i.e., a magnetovolume effect (MVE). Our findings provide the possibility of adjusting thermal expansion behavior and magnetic properties by introducing a vacancy of Ln atoms in lanthanum-based perovskite oxides. An unusual thermal expansion anomaly with magnetic ordering in cubic CeTiO3 was found. A magnetic ordering–disordering transition at 300 K and a change of the magnetic component near 32 K were noted. A magnetovolume effect was found below the magnetic ordering temperature.![]()

Abstract
Negative thermal expansion (NTE), referring to the lattice contraction upon heating, has been an attractive topic of solid-state chemistry and functional materials. The response of a lattice to the temperature field is deeply rooted in its structural features and is inseparable from the physical properties. For the past 30 years, great efforts have been made to search for NTE compounds and control NTE performance. The demands of different applications give rise to the prominent development of new NTE systems covering multifarious chemical substances and many preparation routes. Even so, the intelligent design of NTE structures and efficient tailoring for lattice thermal expansion are still challenging. However, the diverse chemical routes to synthesize target compounds with featured structures provide a large number of strategies to achieve the desirable NTE behaviors with related properties. The chemical diversity is reflected in the wide regulating scale, flexible ways of introduction, and abundant structure-function insights. It inspires the rapid growth of new functional NTE compounds and understanding of the physical origins. In this review, we provide a systematic overview of the recent progress of chemical diversity in the tailoring of NTE. The efficient control of lattice and deep structural deciphering are carefully discussed. This comprehensive summary and perspective for chemical diversity are helpful to promote the creation of functional zero-thermal-expansion (ZTE) compounds and the practical utilization of NTE.

Ultrawide Temperature Range Super-Invar Behavior of R_{2}(Fe,Co)_{17} Materials (R = Rare Earth). PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS 2021; 127:055501.

Abstract
Super Invar (SIV), i.e., zero thermal expansion of metallic materials underpinned by magnetic ordering, is of great practical merit for a wide range of high precision engineering. However, the relatively narrow temperature window of SIV in most materials restricts its potential applications in many critical fields. Here, we demonstrate the controlled design of thermal expansion in a family of R_{2}(Fe,Co)_{17} materials (R=rare Earth). We find that adjusting the Fe-Co content tunes the thermal expansion behavior and its optimization leads to a record-wide SIV with good cyclic stability from 3-461 K, almost twice the range of currently known SIV. In situ neutron diffraction, Mössbauer spectra and first-principles calculations reveal the 3d bonding state transition of the Fe-sublattice favors extra lattice stress upon magnetic ordering. On the other hand, Co content induces a dramatic enhancement of the internal molecular field, which can be manipulated to achieve "ultrawide" SIV over broad temperature, composition and magnetic field windows. These findings pave the way for exploiting thermal-expansion-control engineering and related functional materials.

Abstract
Zero thermal expansion (ZTE) materials are highly desired in modern industries where high-precision processing is necessary. However, ZTE materials in pure form are extremely rare. The most widely used are Invar alloys, where the ZTE is intimately associated with spontaneous magnetic ordering, known as the magnetovolume effect (MVE). Despite tremendous studies, there is still no consensus on the microscopic origin of MVE in Invar alloys. Here, we report the discovery of room-temperature isotropic ZTE in a pure-form cobaltite perovskite, A-site disordered La0.5Ba0.5CoO3-x. The temperature window of the anomalous thermal expansion shows large tunability by simply altering the oxygen content, making this material a promising candidate for practical applications. Furthermore, we unveil with compelling experimental evidence that the ZTE originates from an isostructural transition between antiferromagnetic large-volume phase and ferromagnetic small-volume phase, which might shed light on the MVE in Invar alloys.

Abstract
Electronic and crystal structure studies are presented to describe the role of intersite and onsite interactions for antiferromagnetic ordering in CeAg2Ge2. The crystal structure showed a prominent magnetovolume effect with anomalous negative thermal expansion at low temperature as a consequence of itinerant electron magnetism. The direct hybridization gap with a V-shaped band observed in the angle resolved photoemission data at room temperature, indicates that spin polarized quasiparticle states exist in the gapped region. Valence band broadening and enhanced localization effects at low temperature indicate strong hybridization of the valence orbitals of Ce atoms with the near neighbor Ge atoms. We find that the intersite interaction between the Ce atoms at high temperature stabilizes the onsite interaction at low temperature that leads to the spin density wave type antiferromagnetism in CeAg2Ge2.

Abstract
The zero/negative thermal expansion (ZTE/NTE), which is an intriguing physical property of solids, has been observed in a few families of materials. ZTE materials possess practical applications in specific circumstances such as space-related applications, engineering structures and precision instrument. Generally, NTE materials are used as additives to form a composite of the ZTE material with positive thermal expansion material. It is still a tremendous challenge to design new families of ZTE/NTE materials. Herein, we presented a temperature-dependent single crystal structure analysis in 110-300 K for a layered (NH4)2V3O8, which crystallizes in a tetragonal space group P4bm and comprises mixed valence [V3O82-]∞ monolayers and NH4+ residual in the interlayer spaces. Along the c-axis, (NH4)2V3O8 demonstrated uniaxial expansion behaviors, i.e., ZTE with αc = -1.10 × 10-6 K-1 in 110-170 K and NTE with αc = -16.25 × 10-6 K-1 in 170-220 K. Along the a-axis, (NH4)2V3O8 exhibited ZTE with αa = + 2.06 × 10-6 K-1 in 240-300 K. The mechanisms of ZTE and NTE were explored using structural analysis. The conduction of NH4+ ions in the interlayer space was studied, indicating that the conductivity rapidly rises with the expansion of interlayer space at temperatures of >293 K. This study discloses that layered vanadates are promising ZTE/NTE materials.

Abstract
Compounds that exhibit the unique behavior of negative thermal expansion (NTE)-the physical property of contraction of the lattice parameters on warming-can be applied widely in modern technologies. Consequently, the search for and design of an NTE material with operational and controllable qualities at room temperature are important topics in both physics and materials science. In this work, we demonstrate a new route to achieve magnetic manipulation of a giant NTE in (Mn0.95Ni0.05)CoGe via strong magnetostructural (MS) coupling around room temperature (∼275 to ∼345 K). The MS coupling is realized through the weak bonding between the nonmagnetic CoGe-network and the magnetic Mn-sublattice. Application of a magnetic field changes the NTE in (Mn0.95Ni0.05)CoGe significantly: in particular, a change of Δ L/ L along the a axis of absolute value 15290(60) × 10-6-equivalent to a -31% reduction in NTE-is obtained at 295 K in response to a magnetic field of 8 T.
