Acidic oxygen evolution reaction (OER) has long been the bottleneck of proton exchange membrane water electrolysis. Ru- and Ir-based oxides are currently state-of-the-art electrocatalysts for acidic OER, but their high cost limits their widespread application. CoO is a promising alternative, yet the performance requires further improvement.

Article Synopsis
- - The study focuses on cobalt oxide nanoparticles (CoO-NPs), which exhibit unique catalytic and magnetic properties, making them valuable for applications like catalysts, drug delivery, and sensors.
- - Researchers explored the synthesis and local characterization of CoO-NPs in two crystal structures—rock-salt cubic (fcc-CoO) and Wurtzite (hcp-CoO)—using different ligands (oleylamine and oleic acid) to control their properties.
- - Techniques such as X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Raman spectroscopy confirmed the successful synthesis of both phases, with the better morphological control observed in nanoparticles produced using a combination of the ligands.

Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) recycling is one of the most urgent challenges affecting this technological sector. Indeed, their continuously growing production and demand is already leading to the creation of large volumes of end-of-life LIBs (EoL-LIBs). At the same time, the growing demand for LIBs is not sustainable from the point of view of supply of the critical raw materials needed to produce the essential components of LIBs.

The biodegradation of therapeutic magnetic-oxide nanoparticles (MONPs) in the human body raises concerns about their lifespan, functionality, and health risks. Interactions between apoferritin proteins and MONPs in the spleen, liver, and inflammatory macrophages significantly accelerate nanoparticle degradation, releasing metal ions taken up by apoferritin. This can alter the protein's biological structure and properties, potentially causing health hazards.

Spinel cobalt oxides (CoO) have emerged as a promising class of catalysts for the electrochemical nitrate reduction reaction (eNORR) to ammonia, offering advantages such as low cost, high activity, and selectivity. However, the specific role of crystallographic facets in determining the catalysts' performance remains elusive, impeding the development of efficient catalysts. In this study, we have synthesized various CoO nanostructures with exposed facets of {100}, {111}, {110}, and {112}, aiming to investigate the dependence of the eNORR activity on the crystallographic facets.
