Reaction of Pd(BF4)2 with L (L = bis(pyridin-3-yl-propyl)pyridine-3,5-dicarboxylate) in the 1 : 2 mole ratio gives rise to a spiro-type [PdL2]·(BF4)2·2C6H6·2CH3CN, and further self-assembly of [PdL2]·(BF4)2·2C6H6·2CH3CN with Pd(NO3)2 in the 2 : 1 mole ratio in Me2SO at 90 °C produces a uniquely pliable double cage of [(NO3)2(H2O)2@Pd3L4](BF4)4·6C3H7NO. Both the encapsulated NO3- and the outside BF4- anions are exchanged by X- to form [(X)2@Pd3L4](X')4 (X- = PF6-, ClO4-, and/or NO3-; X'- = BF4-, PF6-, ClO4-, and NO3-) with all-inclusive pure or mixed anions. The pliable and characteristic properties of the double cages were confirmed by anion exchange of the nestled or outside anions in the present study. This system can be used as a ruler for recognition of ubiquitous polyatomic anions.

In processes such as electrodialysis, the applied electrical potential is constrained by concentration polarization at the membrane/solution interface. This polarization, which intensifies at higher current densities, impedes ion transport efficiency and may lead to problems such as salt precipitation, membrane degradation, and increased energy consumption. Therefore, understanding concentration polarization is essential for enhancing membrane performance, improving efficiency, and reducing operational costs.

Synergistic Atomic Environment Optimization of Nickel-Iron Dual Sites by Co Doping and Cr Vacancy for Electrocatalytic Oxygen Evolution.

The dual-site synergistic catalytic mechanism on NiFeOOH suggests weak adsorption of Ni sites and strong adsorption of Fe sites limited its activity toward alkaline oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Large-scale density functional theory (DFT) calculations confirm that Co doping can increase Ni adsorption, while the metal vacancy can reduce Fe adsorption. The combined two factors can further modulate the atomic environment and optimize the free energy toward oxygen-containing intermediates, thus enhancing the OER activity.

Department of Urban, Energy, and Environmental Engineering, Chungbuk National University, Chungdae-ro 1, Seowon-Gu, Cheongju, Chungbuk, 28644, Republic of Korea.

Developing efficient, economical, and stable catalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction is pivotal for producing large-scale green hydrogen in the future. Herein, a vanadium-doped nickel-iron oxide supported on nickel foam (V-NiFeO/NF) is introduced, and synthesized via a facile hydrothermal method as a highly efficient electrocatalyst for water electrolysis. X-ray photoelectron and absorption spectroscopies reveal a synergistic interaction between the vanadium dopant and nickel/iron in the host material, which tunes the electronic structure of NiFeO to increase the number of electrochemically active sites.

The immunological landscape of primary biliary cholangitis: Mechanisms and therapeutic prospects.

Primary Biliary Cholangitis (PBC) is a chronic cholestatic liver disease characterized by the progressive destruction of intrahepatic bile ducts, leading to fibrosis, and potentially cirrhosis. PBC has been considered a prototypical autoimmune condition, given the presence of specific autoantibodies and the immune response against well-defined mitochondrial autoantigens. Further evidence supports the interaction of immunogenetic and environmental factors in the aetiology of PBC.
