Ruthenium (Ru)-based catalysts have demonstrated promising utilization potentiality to replace the much expensive iridium (Ir)-based ones for proton exchange membrane water electrolysis (PEMWE) due to their high electrochemical activity and low cost. However, the susceptibility of RuO-based materials to easily be oxidized to high-valent and soluble Ru species during the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in acid media hinders the practical application, especially under current density above 500 mA cm. Here, a manganese-doped RuO catalyst with the hydroxylated metal sites (i.

Single-atom catalysts (SACs) with unitary active sites hold great promise for realizing high selectivity toward a single product in the CO electroreduction reaction (CORR). However, achieving high Faradaic efficiency (FE) of multielectron products like methane on SACs is still challenging. Herein, we report a pressure-regulating strategy that achieves 83.

Herein, CoFeAl layered double hydroxide anodes with excellent oxygen evolution reaction activity are synthesized and delivered stable catalytic performance for 350 hours at 2 A cm in the presence of 6-fold concentrated seawater. Comprehensive analysis reveals that the Al ions in electrode are etched off by OH during oxygen evolution reaction process, resulting in M vacancies that boost oxygen evolution reaction activity.

However, NiFe-based catalysts, considered as one of the most promising candidates for anode, encounter the bottleneck of high solubility at such temperatures. Herein, we discover that the dissolution of NiFe layered double hydroxides (NiFe-LDH) during operation not only leads to degradation of anode itself, but also deactivates cathode for water splitting, resulting in decay of overall electrocatalytic performance.

Seawater electrolysis offers a renewable, scalable, and economic means for green hydrogen production. However, anode corrosion by Cl pose great challenges for its commercialization. Herein, different from conventional catalysts designed to repel Cl adsorption, we develop an atomic Ir catalyst on cobalt iron layered double hydroxide (Ir/CoFe-LDH) to tailor Cl adsorption and modulate the electronic structure of the Ir active center, thereby establishing a unique Ir-OH/Cl coordination for alkaline seawater electrolysis.

Specifically, antibodies derived from immunoglobulin G1 (IgG1, alirocumab) and IgG2 (evolocumab) have been successfully utilized for this purpose. Recently, a novel recombinant fully human anti-PCSK9 monoclonal antibody, originally derived from IgG4 and designated as SAL003, was developed.

At the same time, multicarbon products (C) get extensive attention in view of their relatively high energy density and market price. At present, Cu is an important metal electrocatalyst to convert CO into multicarbon products ( ethylene, ethanol, and -propanol); however, its poor selectivity impedes its practical application.

However, the development of urea electrosynthesis thus far still suffers from low selectivity due to the high energy barrier of CO formation and the subsequent C─N coupling. In this work, a highly active dendritic Cu Ni catalyst is developed to enable the highly selective electrosynthesis of urea from co-reduction of nitrite and CO , reaching a urea Faradaic efficiency (FE) and production rate of 39.

The exposure to ticagrelor (BRILINTA) is higher in the East Asian population compared with the White population, thus, East Asians have an increased risk of bleeding. We developed a population pharmacokinetic (PopPK) model of ticagrelor based on a randomized 3 × 3 crossover study in healthy subjects. The area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) of Chinese patients with acute coronary syndrome was simulated based on this model.

However, the near 100 % Faradaic efficiency (FE) has yet to be achieved due to the complicated reduction route with several intermediates.
