Thermal-Driven Orderly Assembly of Ir-atomic Chains on α-MnO with Enhanced Performance for Acidic Oxygen Evolution.

The development of acid-stable oxygen evolution reaction electrocatalysts is essential for high-performance acidic water electrolysis. Herein, we report the results of one-dimensional (1D) nanorods (NRs) IrCeMnO@Ir containing ~20 wt . % Iridium (Ir) as an efficient anode electrocatalyst, synthesized via a one-step cation exchange strategy.

Safety evaluation of short-term exposure to chitooligomers from enzymic preparation.

Chitooligomers have significant application to the development of functional foods. This paper evaluated systematically the safety of chitooligomers, which were prepared by enzymatic depolymerization of chitosan. The oral maximum tolerated dose of this chitooligomes was more than 10 g/kg body weight in mice.
