The hydroxide-exchange membrane fuel cell (HEMFC) is a promising energy conversion device. However, the development of HEMFC is hampered by the lack of platinum-group-metal-free (PGM-free) electrocatalysts for the hydrogen oxidation reaction (HOR). Now, a Ni catalyst is reported that exhibits the highest mass activity in HOR for a PGM-free catalyst as well as excellent activity in the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). This catalyst, Ni-H -2 %, was optimized through pyrolysis of a Ni-containing metal-organic framework precursor under a mixed N /H atmosphere, which yielded carbon-supported Ni nanoparticles with different levels of strains. The Ni-H -2 % catalyst has an optimal level of strain, which leads to an optimal hydrogen binding energy and a high number of active sites.

A network pharmacology approach was used to construct comprehensive pharmacological networks, elucidating the interactions between agarwood compounds and key biological targets associated with cancer pathways. We have employed a combination of network pharmacology, molecular docking and molecular dynamics to unravel agarwood plants' active components and potential mechanisms. Reported 23 molecules were collected from the agarwood plants and considered to identify molecular targets.

Mastitis is one of the most common diseases in dairy farms. During the perinatal period, the bovine mammary epithelial cells (BMECs) of High-yielding dairy cows accelerate metabolism and produce large amounts of reactive oxygen species (ROS). It is one of the primary causes of mastitis and will lead to the breakdown of redox balance, which will induce oxidative stress, inflammation, and apoptosis.

Melatonin is considered a multifunctional stress metabolite and a novel plant hormone affecting seed germination, root architecture, circadian rhythms, leaf senescence, and fruit ripening. Melatonin functions related to plant adaptation to stress stimuli of various natures are considered especially important. One of the key components of melatonin's stress-protective action is its ability to neutralise reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species directly.

In aerobic life forms, reactive oxygen species (ROS) are produced by the partial reduction of oxygen during energy-generating metabolic processes. In plants, ROS production increases during periods of both abiotic and biotic stress, severely overloading the antioxidant systems. Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) plays a central role in cellular redox homeostasis and signaling by oxidising crucial cysteines to sulfenic acid, which is considered a biologically relevant post-translational modification (PTM).

Ammonia is an alternative hydrogen storage material and a promising source of sustainable clean energy. The lack of a mechanistic understanding of ammonia electrooxidation hinders the efforts to overcome the slow kinetics of the anode reaction in direct ammonia fuel cells. Herein, we use surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy to study the electro-decomposition of ammonia on the Au surface.
