Construction of unique NiCoP/FeNiCoP hollow heterostructured ellipsoids with modulated electronic structure for enhanced overall water splitting.

Transition metal phosphides have been demonstrated to be promising non-noble catalysts for water splitting, yet their electrocatalytic performance is impeded by unfavorable free energies of adsorbed intermediates. The achievement of nanoscale modulation in morphology and electronic states is imperative for enhancing their intrinsic electrocatalytic activity. Herein, we propose a strategy to expedite the water splitting process over NiCoP/FeNiCoP hollow ellipsoids by modulating the electronic structure and d-band center.

P-doped CoS/NiS heterostructures embedded in N-doped carbon nanoboxes: Synergistical electronic structure regulation for overall water splitting.

Water splitting using transition metal sulfides as electrocatalysts has gained considerable attention in the field of renewable energy. However, their electrocatalytic activity is often hindered by unfavorable free energies of adsorbed hydrogen and oxygen-containing intermediates. Herein, phosphorus (P)-doped CoS/NiS heterostructures embedded in N-doped carbon nanoboxes were rationally synthesized via a pyrolysis-sulfidation-phosphorization strategy.

Assessment of the Bioaccessibility of Carotenoids in Goji Berry ( L.) in Three Forms: In Vitro Digestion Model and Metabolomics Approach.

Goji berry (Lycium barbarum L., LBL) is a good source of carotenoids, while the bioaccessibility of various types of LBL carotenoids has not been explored. In the study, eight carotenoids, three carotenoid esters and two carotenoid glycosylated derivatives were identified by a non−targeted metabolomics approach.
