Abstract: A MOF-derived nitrogen-cobalt heterogeneous nano-box electrocatalyst, along with its preparation method and application, is disclosed. The preparation involves the following steps: S1: preparing a ZIF-67 template; S2: dissolving the ZIF-67 template in anhydrous methanol through ultrasonic stirring to form solution A; S3: dissolving 1H-1,2,3-triazole in anhydrous methanol to form solution B; S4: combining solutions A and B, stirring, allowing the mixture to stand, and performing a substitution reaction; S5: centrifuging, drying, and carbonizing the product under nitrogen protection to obtain the electrocatalyst. In this method, 2-methylimidazole in the ZIF-67 framework is partially replaced by a high-energy nitrogen-containing ligand, 1H-1,2,3-triazole, which provides an abundant nitrogen source and locally restricts cobalt atom coordination. As a result, the electrocatalyst exhibits low hydrogen evolution overpotential under alkaline conditions (1 mol/L KOH).

Abstract: An image processing method and apparatus are provided. During image matting on an original image, a plurality of segmented images including different regions are first obtained through semantic segmentation. Further, according to the segmented images, lines of different widths are drawn on a contour line of a foreground region to obtain a target trimap.

In this way, a final image obtained through image matting is fine and natural.
