Water-assisted electrocatalytic oxidation of alcohols into valuable chemicals is a promising strategy to circumvent the sluggish kinetics of water oxidation, while also reducing cell voltage and improving energy efficiency. Recently, transition metal (TM)-based catalysts have been investigated for anodic alcohol oxidation, but success has been limited due to competition from the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) within the working regime. In this study, NiCo-based Prussian blue analog (PBA) was electrochemically activated at the anodic potential to produce a Co-Ni(O)OH active catalyst with a nanosheet-like architecture.

Among skeletal GCTs, those affecting the distal radius present unique difficulties, especially when fungating masses encase vital structures such as blood vessels.
Case Report: We present a case of a 28-year-old male with a recurring GCT of the distal radius, where limb-preserving surgery was successfully performed despite encasement of the radial artery.
Electrochemical water oxidation holds immense potential for sustainable energy generation, splitting water into clean-burning hydrogen and life-giving oxygen. However, a key roadblock lies in the sluggish nature of the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Finding stable, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly catalysts with high OER efficiency is crucial to unlock this technology's full potential.

The type and severity of cognitive deficits may vary with the duration of diabetes and the effectiveness of glucose management. Complications associated with metabolic syndrome may exacerbate these cognitive declines.
