Highly efficient Z-scheme CeO/BiMoO heterojunction strengthened by redox mediator for photoelectrochemical detection of tetracycline with enhanced sensitivity.

Accurate monitoring of antibiotics that pose risks to the environment and human health is essential. The photoelectrochemical system has emerged as a rapid and precise method for detecting environmental pollutants. However, current photoelectrochemical materials made of semiconductors face challenges due to poor photoelectric conversion efficiency.

Frustrated Lewis pairs created by Ce-doped BiMoO: A universal strategy to promote efficient utilization of HO for Fenton-like photodegradation.

Photo-Fenton-like technology based on HO is considered as an ideal strategy to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) for antibiotic degradation, but O overflow in the process severely limits the utilization efficiency of HO. Herein, we fabricate BiMoO (BMO) photocatalyst modified with Frustrated Lewis pairs (FLPs) as a Fenton catalyst model for enhancing reuse of spilled O. The FLPs created by the introduction of cerium and oxygen vacancy were found to contribute to regulate the electronic structure of BMO and further improve the acidic and basic properties of photocatalyst surface.

Synergistic Modulation of Electronic Interaction to Enhance Intrinsic Activity and Conductivity of Fe-Co-Ni Hydroxide Nanotube for Highly Efficient Oxygen Evolution Electrocatalyst.

The large-scale hydrogen production and application through electrocatalytic water splitting depends crucially on the development of highly efficient, cost-effective electrocatalysts for oxygen evolution reaction (OER), which, however, remains challenging. Here, a new electrocatalyst of trimetallic Fe-Co-Ni hydroxide (denoted as FeCoNiO H ) with a nanotubular structure is developed through an enhanced Kirkendall process under applied potential. The FeCoNiO H features synergistic electronic interaction between Fe, Co, and Ni, which not only notably increases the intrinsic OER activity of FeCoNiO H by facilitating the formation of *OOH intermediate, but also substantially improves the intrinsic conductivity of FeCoNiO H to facilitate charge transfer and activate catalytic sites through electrocatalyst by promoting the formation of abundant Co .

Co-Fe-P Nanosheet Arrays as a Highly Synergistic and Efficient Electrocatalyst for Oxygen Evolution Reaction.

The rational design and synthesis of highly efficient electrocatalysts for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is of critical importance to the large-scale production of hydrogen by water electrolysis. Here, we develop a bimetallic, synergistic, and highly efficient Co-Fe-P electrocatalyst for OER, by selecting a two-dimensional metal-organic framework (MOF) of Co-ZIF-L as the precursor. The Co-Fe-P electrocatalyst features pronounced synergistic effects induced by notable electron transfer from Co to Fe, and a large electrochemical active surface area achieved by organizing the synergistic Co-Fe-P into hierarchical nanosheet arrays with disordered grain boundaries.

A Single-Center Prospective Study of 116 Women with Osteoporosis Treated with Zoledronic Acid Monitored by Electrocardiography for the Development of Cardiac Arrhythmia During the Acute Phase in China.

BACKGROUND Concerns have been raised among clinicians and patients about the cardiovascular risks of bisphosphonates used in the treatment of osteoporosis. The goal of this study was to investigate the acute effect of zoledronic acid (ZA) infusion on arrhythmia development using an electrocardiograph (ECG). MATERIAL AND METHODS This prospective study was a self-controlled case series study that recruited 116 female patients with osteoporosis.

Hollow Cobalt Phosphide with N-Doped Carbon Skeleton as Bifunctional Electrocatalyst for Overall Water Splitting.

The development of cost-effective, high-performance, and robust bifunctional electrocatalysts for overall water splitting remains highly desirable yet quite challenging. Here, by selecting appreciate precursors of dopamine and a Co-containing metal-organic framework of ZIF-67, we subtly couple their reaction processes to develop a facile approach for the synthesis of a hollow CoP nanostructure with N-doped carbon skeleton (H-CoP@NC). Benefiting from the highly porous nanostructure and conductive carbon skeleton, H-CoP@NC is capable of working as highly active and durable bifunctional electrocatalyst for both hydrogen and oxygen evolution reaction.

Nanoparticle Cookies Derived from Metal-Organic Frameworks: Controlled Synthesis and Application in Anode Materials for Lithium-Ion Batteries.

The capacity of anode materials plays a critical role in the performance of lithium-ion batteries. Using the nanocrystals of oxygen-free metal-organic framework ZIF-67 as precursor, a one-step calcination approach toward the controlled synthesis of CoO nanoparticle cookies with excellent anodic performances is developed in this work. The CoO nanoparticle cookies feature highly porous structure composed of small CoO nanoparticles (≈12 nm in diameter) and nitrogen-rich graphitic carbon matrix (≈18 at% in nitrogen content).
