Intercalated and Surface-Adsorbed Phosphate Anions in NiFe Layered Double-Hydroxide Catalysts Synergistically Enhancing Oxygen Evolution Reaction Activity.

The oxygen evolution reaction (OER), a crucial semireaction in water electrolysis and rechargeable metal-air batteries, is vital for carbon neutrality. Hindered by a slow proton-coupled electron transfer, an efficient catalyst activating the formation of an O-H bond is essential. Here, we proposed a straightforward one-step hydrothermal procedure for fabricating PO-modified NiFe layered double-hydroxide (NiFe LDH) catalysts and investigated the role of PO anions in enhancing OER.

SS-Detect: Development and Validation of a New Strategy for Source-Based Morphometry in Multiscanner Studies.

Background And Purpose: Source-based morphometry(SBM) has been used in multicenter studies pooling magnetic resonance imaging data across different scanners to advance the reproducibility of neuroscience research. In the present study, we developed an analysis strategy for Scanner-Specific Detection (SS-Detect) of SBPs in multiscanner studies, and evaluated its performance relative to a conventional strategy.

Methods: In the first experiment, the SimTB toolbox was used to generate simulated datasets mimicking 20 different scanners with common and scanner-specific SBPs.

A Unique Ru-N-P Coordinated Structure Synergistically Waking Up the Nonmetal P Active Site for Hydrogen Production.

Numerous experiments have demonstrated that the metal atom is the active center of monoatomic catalysts for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), while the active sites of nonmetal doped atoms are often neglected. By combining theoretical prediction and experimental verification, we designed a unique ternary Ru-N-P coordination structure constructed by monodispersed Ru atoms supported on N,P dual-doped graphene for highly efficient hydrogen evolution in acid solution. The density functional theory calculations indicate that the charge polarization will lead to the most charge accumulation at P atoms, which results in a distinct nonmetallic P active sites with the moderate H∗ adsorption energy.

Monoatomic Platinum-Anchored Metallic MoS: Correlation between Surface Dopant and Hydrogen Evolution.

Rationally designing cheap and efficient electrocatalysts at the atomic level is highly desirable for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Here, we demonstrate a metallic MoS electrocatalyst decorated with platinum single atoms. When combined with electron microscopy observations, our synchrotron X-ray characterizations and theoretical calculations clearly reveal that the doped Pt atoms bond to S atoms on the surface of MoS.

Engineering the In-Plane Structure of Metallic Phase Molybdenum Disulfide Co and O Dopants toward Efficient Alkaline Hydrogen Evolution.

Molybdenum disulfide (MoS) has attracted much attention as a promising alternative to Pt-based catalysts for highly efficient hydrogen generation. However, it suffers sluggish kinetics for driving the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) process because of inert basal planes, especially in alkaline solution. Here, we show a combination of heteroatom doping and phase transformation strategies to engineer the in-plane structure of MoS, that trigger their catalytic activities.

Atomically Intercalating Tin Ions into the Interlayer of Molybdenum Oxide Nanobelt toward Long-Cycling Lithium Battery.

Atomic intercalation of different agents into 2D layered materials can engineer the intrinsic structure on the atomic scale and thus tune the physical and chemical properties for specific applications. Here we successfully introduce tin (Sn) atoms into the interlayer of α-MoO nanobelts forming a new MoO-Sn intercalation with ultrastable structure. Combining with theoretical calculations, our synchrotron radiation-based characterizations and electron microscope observations clearly reveal that the intercalated Sn atoms could bond with five O atoms, forming a pentahedral structure.

Clinical outcomes of "complete, partially complete, and incomplete" revascularisation at five-year follow-up after percutaneous intervention of unprotected left main coronary artery disease with drug-eluting stents.

Aims: The study aimed to examine five-year clinical outcomes of complete (CR), partially complete (PCR), and incomplete revascularisation (ICR) in patients with unprotected left main coronary artery (ULMCA) disease treated with drug-eluting stents (DES). Completeness of revascularisation, defined as revascularisation of all vessels ≥1.5 or 2.

Five-year clinical follow-up of unprotected left main bifurcation lesion stenting: one-stent versus two-stent techniques versus double-kissing crush technique.

Aims: The present study aimed to compare the long-term (five-year) safety and efficacy between the one-stent, two-stent and double-kissing (DK) crush strategies, utilising drug-eluting stents, for unprotected left main coronary artery (ULMCA) bifurcation lesions.

Methods And Results: Between March 2004 and April 2007, 633 consecutive patients with ULMCA bifurcation lesions (232 in the one-stent group and 401 in the two-stent group) were prospectively enrolled. The primary endpoint was the occurrence of major adverse cardiac events (MACE), a composite of cardiac death, myocardial infarction (MI), and target vessel revascularisation (TVR), at five-year follow-up.

Coronary bifurcation angle from 3-D predicts clinical outcomes after stenting bifurcation lesions.

Background: The predictive value of bifurcation angle (BA) for worse events after stenting bifurcation lesions remains to be unknown. The present study was to investigate the dynamic change of BA and clinical relevance for patients with coronary bifurcation lesions treated by drug-eluting stent (DES).

Methods: BA was calculated by 3-D quantitative coronary analysis from 347 patients in DKCRUSH-II study.

Comparison of a five-year clinical outcome between Chinese women and men with de novo coronary disease treated with implantation of a drug-eluting stent: a three-center, prospective, registry study.

Background: The gender-based differences in adverse events after drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation between Chinese women and men have not been fully studied. The present study aimed to compare the 5-year clinical outcome after DES implantation in Chinese women and men.

Methods: Chinese women (n = 298) and men (n = 698) with newly diagnosed de novo coronary lesions were studied after DES implantation.

A randomized clinical study comparing double kissing crush with provisional stenting for treatment of coronary bifurcation lesions: results from the DKCRUSH-II (Double Kissing Crush versus Provisional Stenting Technique for Treatment of Coronary Bifurcation Lesions) trial.

Objectives: The present study aimed to investigate the difference in major adverse cardiac events (MACE) at 12 months in patients with coronary bifurcation lesions after double kissing double crush (DK crush) or provisional stenting (PS) techniques.

Background: Provisional side branch (SB) stenting is preferable to DK crush because it has been associated with fewer complications. It is unknown which strategy would provide the best results.
