However, in many cases there exist misconceptions and misuses of terminology, leading to misinterpretation of experimental contact angles, measurements of which deceptively appear to be simple. Terms describing contact angles, wettability, superhydrophobicity and similar other terminology are loosely used. In this contribution, key terms used in relation to contact angles are defined precisely based on the accumulative knowledge from the surface chemistry community over the last decades. The definitions provided are scientifically rigorous to avoid any ambiguity and confusion. The theoretical considerations underlying these definitions are only briefly mentioned, with references to the relevant papers. Interpretation and meaning of the measured contact angles can be made simpler if the basic concepts are clearly understood and theory-based indications are applied. The clarity of definitions should make data interpretation and comparison easier for future contributions to journals, including this journal.1e:T46e,The modulation effect has been widely investigated to tune the electronic state of single-atomic M-N-C catalysts to enhance the activity of oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). However, the in-depth study of modulation effect is rarely reported for the isolated dual-atomic metal sites. Now, the catalytic activities of Fe-N₄ moiety can be enhanced by the adjacent Pt-N₄ moiety through the modulation effect, in which the Pt-N₄ acts as the modulator to tune the 3d electronic orbitals of Fe-N₄ active site and optimize ORR activity. Inspired by this principle, we design and synthesize the electrocatalyst that comprises isolated Fe-N₄ /Pt-N₄ moieties dispersed in the nitrogen-doped carbon matrix (Fe-N₄ /Pt-N₄ @NC) and exhibits a half-wave potential of 0.93 V vs. RHE and negligible activity degradation (ΔE_1/2 =8 mV) after 10000 cycles in 0.1 M KOH. We also demonstrate that the modulation effect is not effective for optimizing the ORR performances of Co-N₄ /Pt-N₄ and Mn-N₄ /Pt-N₄ systems.1f:T665,
