Background: Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder that is predominantly controlled through pharmacotherapy. People with PD have highly complex medication regimens that are often poorly managed during hospital admissions. This project aims to understand the issues experienced by patients with PD and healthcare staff that impacted their medication management during their hospital admission at a tertiary metropolitan hospital in New South Wales, Australia.

Article Synopsis
  • The intrinsic mechanisms of the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) remain complex and not fully understood, particularly how the arrangement of metal centers affects OER rates.
  • Researchers developed cobalt hydroxide-based nanoboxes containing tetrahedrally coordinated Co(II) centers, which transform into active Co(IV) species during the OER process.
  • The study highlights how the local geometry of metal centers influences the oxygen evolution kinetics, showing that partial iron incorporation enhances this activation, while traditional structures like CoOOH and Co-FeOOH limit the formation of active Co(IV) species.

Resolving the three-dimensional structure of transition metal oxide nanoparticles (TMO-NPs), upon self-restructuring from solution, is crucial for tuning their structure-functionality. Yet, this remains challenging as this process entails complex structure fluctuations, which are difficult to track experimentally and, hence, hinder the knowledge-driven optimization of TMO-NPs. Herein, we combine high-energy synchrotron X-ray absorption and X-ray total scattering experiments with atomistic multiscale simulations to investigate the self-restructuring of self-assembled Co-NPs from solution under dark or photocatalytic water oxidation conditions at distinct reaction times and atomic length-scales.

Ethylene oxide (EO) is a crucial building block in the chemical industry, and its production via ethylene epoxidation (EPO) is a pivotal process. Silver-based catalysts are known for their high selectivity and are currently largely used in the industrial process. Extensive research over the past 20 years has assumed the oxametallacycle (OMC) as a reaction intermediate, implying that ethylene reacts with adsorbed oxygen on the surface of silver.
