The stability and the catalytic performances of polyvinylpyrrolidone-stabilized ruthenium colloids (PVP-Ru) prepared by using RuCl(3).xH(2)O of different sources have been investigated. The trace impurity content of platinum and palladium in RuCl(3).xH(2)O was demonstrated to be the main factors affecting the properties of PVP-Ru colloids.

Exploring suitable dual active site and metal-substrate interface effect is essential for designing efficient and robust electrocatalysts across a wide pH range for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Herein, alloyed platinum-ruthenium clusters supported on nanosheet-assembled molybdenum carbide microflowers (PtRu/MoC) are reported as efficient pH-universal electrocatalysts for HER. Due to dual active site and metal-substrate interface effect, the optimized PtRu/MoC electrocatalyst exhibits extremely low overpotentials (η) of 9, 19, and 33 mV to deliver 10 mA cm in 0.

Water electrolysis represents a green and efficient strategy for hydrogen (H) production. However, the four-electron transfer process involved in its anodic oxygen evolution reaction (OER) half-reaction restricts the H generation rate. Employing hydrazine oxidation reaction (HzOR) as a substitute for OER in H generation can dramatically reduce energy consumption.

The extrusion bioprinting of collagen material has many applications relevant to tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. Freeform Reversible Embedding of Suspended Hydrogels (FRESH) technology is capable of 3D printing collagen material with the specifications and details needed for precise tissue guidance, a crucial requirement for effective tissue repair. While FRESH has shown repeated success and reliability for extrusion printing, the mechanical properties of completed collagen prints can be improved further by post-print crosslinking methodologies.

Carbon capture and utilization involve multiple energy- and cost-intensive steps. Dual-function materials (DFMs) can reduce these demands by coupling CO adsorption and conversion into a single material with two functionalities: a sorbent phase and a metal for catalytic CO conversion. The role of metal catalysts in the conversion process seems salient from previous work, but the underlying mechanisms remain elusive and deserve deeper investigation to achieve maximum utilization of the two phases.

Discovering a valid approach to achieve a novel and efficient water splitting catalyst is essential for the development of hydrogen energy technology. Herein, unique hollow-structured ruthenium (Ru)-doped nickel-cobalt oxide (Ru-NiO/CoO/NF) nanocube arrays are fabricated as high-efficiency bifunctional electrocatalysts for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER)/urea oxidation reaction (UOR) through combined electronic and vacancy engineering. The structural characterization and experimental results indicate that the doping of Ru can not only effectively modulate the electronic structure of Ru-NiO/CoO/NF, but also increase the content of oxygen vacancies in the structure of Ru-NiO/CoO/NF to stabilize the existence of oxygen vacancies during the catalytic process.
