Installing coordinately unsaturated Fe-N-C structural units on polymer-composite-derived N-doped carbon offers highly active Fe-N sites for the electrochemical oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation in tumor cells. An NHCl-driven high-temperature etching method was employed for the formation of FeSA950NC with coordinately unsaturated single Fe-atoms in an Fe-N(sp)-C structural unit together with N vacancies () and sp defects. The carbonization of Fe-phen@ZIF-8 at 800 °C for 30 min under argon, followed by grinding Fe-ZIF-8@RF-urea with NHCl at 950 °C for 2 hours, resulted in sp carbon defects and sites with coordination unsaturation in Fe-N due to NHCl decomposition to NH and HCl, which produced substantial internal stress for etching the carbon matrix.

This neuropathic tremor may persist after treatment and is known to be refractory to conventional medication.

Although the underlying etiology has yet to be identified, it has been suggested that congenital vascular anomalies are involved. We have hypothesized common trunk anomaly of the anterior inferior cerebellar artery (AICA) and posterior inferior cerebellar artery (PICA) which may play a role in HFS.

Pyrolysis of Ni-phen@ZIF-8-RF at 700 °C resulted in NiNP-NC-700 with predominantly Ni nanoparticles. Upon elevating the pyrolysis temperature from 700 to 900 °C, a coordination reconstruction offers Ni-N atomic sites in NiSA-NC-900.
