Vanadium doped FeP nanoflower with optimized electronic structure for efficient hydrogen evolution.

Reasonable design of hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) electrocatalyst from the perspective of electronic structure is a vital way to optimize the catalytic activity. Mono-metallic iron-based phosphates have been shown to be active toward HER, but their performance remains unsatisfactory despite their abundant reserves and low preparation cost. Here, guided by the d-band center and band structure theories, V-doped FeP nanoflower grown directly on iron foam are constructed.

Efficacy and safety of domestic leuprorelin in girls with idiopathic central precocious puberty: a multicenter, randomized, parallel, controlled trial.

Background: In central precocious puberty (CPP), the pulse secretion and release of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) are increased due to early activation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis, resulting in developmental abnormalities with gonadal development and appearance of secondary sexual characteristics. The CPP without organic disease is known as idiopathic CPP (ICPP). The objective of the study was to evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of domestic leuprorelin (GnRH analog) in girls with ICPP.

[Removal of chrysoidine from water by functionalized mesoporous material SBA-16].

A series of functionalized SBA-16 were synthesized and subsequently oxidized into sulfonic functionalized mesoporous silica mixing tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) and 3-mercaptopropyltriethoxysilane (TMMPS), with triblock copolymers pluronic (F127) and cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (CTMABr) served as the mixing template by combination of hydrothermal and co-condensation method. The materials were characterized by X-ray diffraction, nitrogen gas sorption and SEM. The results show that the resulting functional materials belong to mesoporous materials when n(TEOS): n(TMMPS) is 3-8.

Polybrominated diphenyl ethers in background surface soils from the Yangtze River Delta (YRD), China: occurrence, sources, and inventory.

Purposes: Very few data for polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) were available in the Yangtze River Delta (YRD), one of the most developed and urbanized region in China. In this study, Chongming Island, located at the estuary of the Yangtze River, was selected as background area to investigate the occurrence, sources, and inventory of PBDEs.

Methods: Forty-two PBDE congeners were determined in surface soils from farmland, woodland, grassland, tideland, and road collected in Chongming Island.

[Combined bio-process for treatment of municipal wastewater containing Cu2+].

A combined bioprocess consisting of biosorption section with P. putida 5-x cell as biosorbent followed by a SBR is developed to treat Cu2+ containing municipal wastewater. The optimal preparing technique of P.

[The study of adsorption of L-aspartic acid on silver sol by surface-enhanced Raman scattering].

The adsorption state and the characteristics of L-aspartic acid adsorbed on silver sol were studied by the Surface-Enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS) method. Strong Raman signals were detected in the experiments. The results suggested that L-aspartic acid adsorbed on the silver surfaces through carboxyl and nitrogen atoms since the signals were mainly due to the carboxyl and the nitrogen of the molecule of L-aspartic acid.
