Electrochemical water splitting is a promising approach to produce hydrogen gas, but sluggish four-electron transfer of the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) severely limits the overall energy conversion efficiency of water splitting. Herein, as an excellent OER electrocatalyst, a technique of synthesizing Fe doped CoNiSe nanosheet (Fe-CoNiSe) whole series using CoFe prussian blue analog produced by Co-ZIF-L reaction as a template is proposed here. The introduction of iron ions promotes the redistribution of the cobalt-nickel charge density, which enhances the OER kinetics.

The assay employed an effective and rapid nucleic acid extraction system based on magnetic beads. To evaluate its efficacy, this new viral DNA preparation method was compared with QIAamp Blood Mini Kit and the results showed a good correlation (r=0.
