With the rapidly increasing integration density and power density in nanoscale electronic devices,the thermal management concerning heat generation and energy harvesting becornes quite crucial.Since phonon is the major heat carrier in semiconductors,thermal transport due to phonons in mesoscopic systems has attracted much attention.In quantum transport studies,the nonequilibrium Green\'s function (NEGF) method is a versatile and powerful tool that has been developed for several decades.In this review,we will discuss theoretical investigations of thermal transport using the NEGF ap-proach from two aspects.For the aspect of phonon transport,the phonon NEGF method is briefly introduced and its applications on thermal transport in mesoscopic systems including one-dimensional atomic chains,multi-terminal systems,and transient phonon transport are discussed.For the aspect of thermoelectric transport,the caloritronic effects in which the charge,spin,and valley degrees of free-dom are manipulated by the temperature gradient are discussed.The time-dependent thermoelectric behavior is also presented in the transient regirne within the partitioned scheme based on the NEGF method.

在质子交换膜燃料电池中,金属铂是最高效的阴极氧还原催化剂之一,但是铂昂贵的价格严重阻碍了其在燃料电池领域中的大规模商业化应用.通过铂与3d过渡金属(Fe、Co和Ni)合金化可以有效提高催化剂的氧还原活性,然而在实际的高腐蚀性、高电压和高温的燃料电池运行环境中,铂合金纳米粒子易发生溶解、迁移和团聚,从而导致催化剂耐久性差.同时过渡金属离子的溶出会影响质子交换膜的质子传导,并且一些过渡金属离子会催化芬顿反应,产生高腐蚀性•OH自由基,加快Nafion和催化剂的劣化.与过渡金属掺杂相比,非金属掺杂具有明显优势:
