Industrial water electrolysis typically operates at high current densities, the efficiency and stability of catalysts are greatly influenced by mass transport processes and adhesion with substrates. The core scientific issues revolve around reducing transport overpotential losses and enhancing catalyst-substrate binding to ensure long-term performance. Herein, vertical Ni-Co-P is synthesized and employed plasma treatment for dual modification of its surface and interface with the substrate.

Inspired by the captivating allure of exquisitely regulated characteristics exhibited by 2-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-benzoxazole and its derivatives in the realms of photochemistry and photophysics, our current endeavor primarily revolves around delving into the intricacies of photo-induced excited state reactions for derivatives of 2,5-bis(2-benzoxazolyl)-hydroquinone (BBHQ). Given the significant impact of chalcogen element doping, herein we predominantly focus on exploring the excited state behaviors of BBHQ-OO, BBHQ-SS, and BBHQ-SeSe fluorophores. Our simulations, resulting from variations in geometry and vertical excitation charge reorganization, reveal atomic-electronegativity-dependent hydrogen bonding interactions and charge recombination induced by photoexcitation that can significantly enhance the excited state intramolecular double proton transfer (ESDPT) reaction for BBHQ-OO, BBHQ-SS, and BBHQ-SeSe fluorophores.

Photovoltaic (PV) panels are similar in many aspects to the leaves of trees, both are standing in the Sun to capture the sunlight, however, PV panels get soiled especially in desert areas, while the leaves remain clean to a very good extent. The question is, why leaves remain clean while PV panels get soiled quite easily? The leaves are hanging on the stem of trees and these stems are flexible to motion, such that if the wind blows in any direction over the stem it vibrates allowing any deposited particle to fall off the surface. The objective of this research is to develop a fixation method for PV panels similar to the stems of trees, such that the panel can vibrate as the wind blows in order to minimize dust accumulation.

The Zika virus (ZIKV) epidemic had a sanitary, psychosocial, and economic impact on individuals of reproductive age. The primary concern revolved around infection during pregnancy due to possible vertical transmission and its association with adverse fetal and infant outcomes, known as Congenital Zika Syndrome (CZS). This qualitative study employs phenomenology and grounded theory.

With the escalating demand for energy, there is a growing focus on decentralized, small-scale energy infrastructure. The success of new turbines in this context is notable. However, many of these turbines do not follow many of the basic ideas established to evaluate their performance, leaving no precise technique or mathematical model.
