Finding inexpensive and efficient anode materials is crucial for the oxidation of methanol in the direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC), which is the key electrode reaction. Herein, we report metal-organic framework (MOF)-derived CoO, NiO, and NiCoO (where = 1.5, 1, and 0.

As non-renewable resources are finite and cannot be utilized indefinitely, hydrogen (H) has emerged as a promising alternative for clean and sustainable energy. The cost-effective hydrogen production to meet large-scale commercial demand poses a significant challenge. Water electrolysis, powered by electricity derived from renewable resources, stands out as a viable route towards sustainable hydrogen production, with electrocatalysis playing a pivotal role in this process.

Background: Candida score has been developed and used for identifying patients at risk for developing Candida infections. However, its usefulness in predicting outcome of patients with candidemia has not been evaluated. We aimed to determine the risk factors for mortality in patients with candidemia admitted to an Indian medical intensive care unit (ICU).

Candida sake infections are rare, but have been shown to cause severe infections including fungal endocarditis, peritonitis and bloodstream infection. As the reported incidence of C. sake candidaemia is very low, there is a dearth of data regarding the associated risk factors, antifungal agent-susceptibility patterns, optimal treatment policies, clinical course and outcomes of patients with such infections.
