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.

Seawater electrolysis can generate carbon-neutral hydrogen but its efficiency is hindered by the low mass activity and poor stability of commercial catalysts at industrial current densities. Herein, Pt nanoclusters are loaded on nickel-iron-cobalt phosphide nanosheets, with the obtained Pt@NiFeCo-P electrocatalyst exhibiting excellent hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) activity and stability in alkaline seawater at ampere-level current densities. The catalyst delivers an ultralow HER overpotential of 19.

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.

Low-energy consumption seawater electrolysis at high current density is an effective way for hydrogen production, however the continuous feeding of seawater may result in the accumulation of Cl, leading to severe anode poisoning and corrosion, thereby compromising the activity and stability. 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.

Commercial alkaline water electrolysers typically operate at 80 °C to minimize energy consumption. 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.

Monoclonal antibody drugs targeting proprotein convertase kwashiorkor type 9 (PCSK9) have recently demonstrated remarkable success in lipid-lowering therapies. 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.

Electrocatalytic CO reduction (ECR) to high value-added chemicals is an excellent method to attenuate the impact of greenhouse effect caused by CO. 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.

Simultaneous electrochemical reduction of nitrite and carbon dioxide (CO ) under mild reaction conditions offers a new sustainable and low-cost approach for urea synthesis. 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.

Background: Gay geosocial networking apps, also known as "gay apps," have gained increasing popularity in the men who have sex with men (MSM) community. Certain sexuality traits and gay app use are both associated with high-risk sexual behaviors among MSM. However, little is known about the underlying mechanism of such relationships.

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.

Electrocatalytic two-electron water oxidation affords a promising approach for distributed production of HO using electricity. However, it suffers from the trade-off between the selectivity and high production rate of HO due to the lack of suitable electrocatalysts.

Electrochemical reduction of nitrite (NO ) offers an energy-efficient route for ammonia (NH ) synthesis and reduction of the level of nitrite, which is one of the major pollutants in water. However, the near 100 % Faradaic efficiency (FE) has yet to be achieved due to the complicated reduction route with several intermediates. Here, we report that carbon dioxide (CO ) can enhance the nitrite electroreduction to ammonia on copper nanowire (Cu NW) catalysts.

Developing highly active, durable, and cost-effective electrocatalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is of prime importance in proton exchange membrane (PEM) water electrolysis techniques. Ru-based catalysts have high activities but always suffer from severe fading and dissolution issues, which cannot satisfy the stability demand of PEM. Herein, a series of iridium-doped yttrium ruthenates pyrochlore catalysts is developed, which exhibit better activity and much higher durability than commercial RuO , IrO , and most of the reported Ru or Ir-based OER electrocatalysts.
