In the context of oxygen evolution reaction (OER), the construction of high-valence transition metal sites to trigger the lattice oxygen oxidation mechanism is considered crucial for overcoming the performance limitations of traditional adsorbate evolution mechanism. However, the dynamic evolution of lattice oxygen during the reaction poses significant challenges for the stability of high-valence metal sites, particularly in high-current-density water-splitting systems. Here, we have successfully constructed Co-O-Fe catalytic active motifs in cobalt-iron Prussian blue analogs (CoFe-PBA) through oxygen plasma bombardment, effectively activating lattice oxygen reactivity while sustaining robust stability.

Article Synopsis
  • Proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolysis is a leading method for producing green hydrogen but faces challenges due to the high use of platinum-group metals (PGM).
  • A new approach involves creating stable palladium hydride (PdH) nanoclusters anchored on tungsten carbide (WC) supports, enhancing hydrogen adsorption/desorption efficiency during electrolysis.
  • This PdH-WC catalyst achieves impressive performance with a very low palladium loading, operating at a current density of 1 A/cm and maintaining stability over 200 hours, offering a promising direction for future electrocatalyst design.

Introduction: An early evaluating system for autism spectrum disorder (ASD) severity is crucial. Questionnaire survey is challenging for accurately assessing the severity levels for ASD in children.

Methods: Offspring with ASD-like phenotypes were induced by treating pregnant mice with Poly (I:C) at GD12.

Background: Cervical cancer is the fourth commonest malignancy in women around the world. It represents the second most commonly diagnosed cancer in South East Asian women, and an important cancer death cause in women of developing nations. Data collected in 2018 revealed 5690000 cervical cancer cases worldwide, 85% of which occurred in developing countries.

The experiments were conducted to investigate the adsorption behavior of tetracycline on a kind of nano-sized amorphous carbon, which was synthetized in a molten salt electrochemical system, comprising a eutectic mixture of Li-Na-K carbonates. The results showed that, the carbon powder had a good adsorption performance. At 298K, the maximum adsorption capacity of tetracycline was 127.
