Electromodified Langmuir-Blodgett films of a phenolate-rich [Co(III)(L(N2O3))H2O] metallosurfactant support water oxidation at an overpotential of 0.5 V. Gradual enhancement of catalytic activity is observed between 1 and 9 deposited layers. Upon application of a potential bias the molecular species rearranges into a catalytic layer that yields estimated turnover numbers of 54 000 ± 1500 h(-1).

Introduction: Water vapor thermal therapy (WVTT; REZUM™; Boston, USA) offers symptom relief with reduced risks of complications in patients with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) related to benign prostatic obstruction (BPO). WVTT therapy has been validated in the pivotal study in men with smaller prostates (< 80 cc). Yet, its feasibility for larger prostates (≥ 80 cc) remains underexplored.

Due to the global demands on carbon neutralization, CO separation membranes, particularly those based on two-dimensional (2D) materials, have attracted increasing attention. However, recent works have focused on the chemical decoration of membranes to realize the selective transport, leading to the compromised stability in the presence of moisture. Herein, we develop a series of 2D capillaries based on layered double hydroxide (LDH), graphene oxide, and vermiculite to enhance the oversaturation of CO in the confined water for promoting the membrane permselectivity.

The design of acidic oxygen evolution reaction (OER) electrocatalysts with high activity and durability is the key to achieving efficient hydrogen production. Herein, we report a Cr-doped RuO (RuCrO) catalyst that exhibits good OER activity in acidic electrolytes. The doping of Cr increases the valence state of Ru, which enhances the activity of the catalyst, and a current density of 10 mA cm can be achieved at only 235 mV, which is superior to that of unmodified RuO of 299 mV.

Graphene-based supercapacitors have gained significant attention due to their exceptional energy storage capabilities. Despite numerous research efforts trying to improve the performance, the challenge of experimentally elucidating the nanoscale-interface molecular characteristics still needs to be tackled for device optimizations in commercial applications. To address this, we have conducted a series of experiments using substrate-free graphene field-effect transistors (SF-GFETs) and oxide-supported graphene field-effect transistors (OS-GFETs) to elucidate the graphene-electrolyte interfacial arrangement and corresponding capacitance under different surface potential states and ionic concentration environments.
