Background: Renal disease is associated with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT), a common inherited neurological disorder. Three forms of CMT have been identified: CMT1 of the demyelinating type, CMT2 of the axonal defect type, and intermediate type (Int-CMT). INF2 is an important target for variants that cause the complex symptoms of focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) and CMT.

Herein, a facile, low-cost and convenient electrochemical cyclic voltammetry (CV) activation strategy is reported. We demonstrate that electrochemical activation could regulate the morphology, crystal structure and electronic states of the Co-Fe layered double hydroxides (CoFe-LDH), thus significantly increasing the active site and electron transfer rate.

Herein, a series of Fe-MOF/Au composites grown in situ on Fe Foam (FF) were prepared through a hydrothermal and the controlled electrodeposition time strategy, in which the Fe Foam acts both as the conductive substrate and a self-sacrificing template. The electronic structure of the Fe-MOF/Au/FF composites can be finely adjusted by tailoring the electrodeposition time.

Herein, we studied and prepared a bifunctional Mo-doped CoO ultrathin nanosheets, which has been validated as an effective binder-free electrode material for electrocatalytic water splitting and supercapacitors. The material has a large specific surface area, high electrical conductivity and exposure to more active sites, breaking down the limited performance and range of use of transition metal oxides.

Herein, a plant polyphenol tannic acid was used to etch Co-based zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF-67) followed by calcination to prepare a porous CoO@Co/NC hollow nanoparticles (CoO@Co/NC-HN) with rich oxygen vacancy defects. Owing to the metal-phenolic networks (MPNs), rich oxygen vacancy defects and the synergistic effect between CoO and Co/NC, the box-like CoO@Co/NC-HN nanomaterials with large specific surface areas exhibit excellent supercapacitor performance and electrocatalytic activity.
