Ag-BiO-Nanostructured Composite Electrodes toward Catalyzing Oxygen Evolution Reaction: Exploring Oxygen Evolution Reaction Kinetics in Composites from Doping to Establishing a Heterojunction.

Electrochemical water splitting involving two-half chemical cell reactions is a promising approach to generate hydrogen and oxygen. Although this method is sustainable, the sluggish kinetics of the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) occurring at the anode due to a high overpotential is an issue to be addressed. Recently, various chemical and structural engineering approaches have been explored to improve the efficiency of the OER by reducing the overpotential.

Lumefantrine solid dispersions with piperine for the enhancement of solubility, bioavailability and anti-parasite activity.

Crystallinity and P-glycoprotein (P-gp) mediated efflux of drugs with low aqueous solubility collaboratively contributes to erratic absorption resulting in low/variable bioavailability. Herein, the amorphous solid dispersions (SD) of lumefantrine (LUMF) containing piperine (PIP), a P-gp and CYP3A4 inhibitor, were formulated with Soluplus (Sol), Klucel (Klu) and Lutrol F68 (Lut), polymeric carriers, to improve solubility and bioavailability of LUMF following oral administration. The LUMF-PIP-SD prepared with Sol exhibited higher aqueous solubility of LUMF in concentration dependent manner and LUMF-PIP-Sol demonstrating maximum aqueous LUMF solubility were characterized by DSC, FTIR and XRD.

ameliorates stress induced depression in mice by regulating neuroinflammatory cytokines.

Background And Aim: Linn. () (family: Amaranthaceae) is highly recognized in ethnomedicine and traditional systems of Indian medicine as a nervine restorative for several psychiatric disorders. Study presented here was designed to appraise the antidepressant-like effects of in murine model of chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS) induced depression.

Coconut-Water-Mediated Carbonaceous Electrode: A Promising Eco-Friendly Material for Bifunctional Water Splitting Application.

The organic and eco-friendly materials are extended to prevail over the worldwide energy crisis where bio-inspired carbonaceous electrode materials are being prepared from biogenic items and wastes. Here, coconut water is sprayed over three-dimensional (3D) nickel foam for obtaining a carbonaceous electrode material, i.e.

Recasting Ni-foam into NiF nanorod arrays a hydrothermal process for hydrogen evolution reaction application.

A promising electrode for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) has been prepared via a reduction process to form NiF2 nanorod arrays directly grown on a 3D nickel foam. We reveal NiF2@Ni nanorod arrays for a stable hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) application. The computational analysis for H2O, OH and H and experimentally in aqueous KOH endow considerable shift in Fermi levels for Ni (111) unlike for NiF2 (110) on account of an effective coalition of p-orbitals of fluorine and d-orbitals of Ni in NiF2, NiF2 under pinning the reduced overpotential of 172 mV at 10 mA cm-2 compared to Ni (242 mV) in same electrolyte.
