The H-donating activity of phenol and the H-abstraction activity of phenol radicals have been extensively studied. In this article, the second-order rate constants of 25 hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) reactions between phenols and PINO and DPPH radicals in acetonitrile at 298 K were studied. Thermo-kinetic parameters Δ (XH) were obtained using a kinetic equation [Δ = Δ (XH) + Δ (Y)]. Bond dissociation free energies Δ (XH) were calculated by the iBonD HM method, whose details are available at https://pka.luoszgroup.com/bde_prediction. Intrinsic resistance energies Δ and Δ (X) were determined as Δ (XH) and Δ (XH) were available. Δ (XH), Δ , Δ (XH) and Δ (X) were used to assess the H-donating abilities of the studied phenols and the H-abstraction abilities of phenol radicals in thermodynamics, kinetics and actual HAT reactions. The effect of structures on these four parameters was discussed. The reliabilities of Δ (XH) and Δ (X) were examined. The difference between the method of determining Δ mentioned in this study and the dynamic nuclear magnetic method mentioned in the literature was studied. this study, not only Δ (XH), Δ , Δ (XH) and Δ (X) of phenols could be quantitatively evaluated, but also the structure-activity relationship of phenols is clearly demonstrated. Moreover, it lays the foundation for designing and synthesizing more antioxidants and radicals.

Binuclear silver(I) and copper(I) complexes, and , with bridging diphenylphosphine ligands were prepared. In , the silver(I) center is located inside a trigonal plane composed of three phosphorus donors from three separate and bridging dppm ligands. The fourth coordination site is filled with neighboring silver(I) ions.

The production of hydrogen (H) fuel through electrocatalysis is emerging as a sustainable alternative to conventional and environmentally harmful energy sources. However, the discovery of cost-effective and efficient materials for this purpose remains a significant challenge. In this study, we explore the potential of the transition-metal-substituted YNS MXene as a promising candidate for hydrogen production through the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER).

Platinum (Pt)-based heterogeneous catalysts show excellent performance for the electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction (HER); however, the high cost and earth paucity of Pt means that efforts are being directed to reducing Pt usage, whilst maximizing catalytic efficiency. In this work, a two-step laser annealing process was employed to synthesize Pt single-atom catalysts (SACs) on a MOF-derived carbon substrate. The laser irradiation of a metal-organic framework (MOF) film (ZIF67@ZIF8 composite) by rapid scanning of a ns pulsed infrared (IR; 1064 nm) laser across the freeze-dried MOF resulted in a metal-loaded graphitized film.

Photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting has attracted significant interest as a promising approach for producing clean and sustainable hydrogen fuel. An efficient photoanode is critical for enhancing PEC water splitting. Bismuth vanadate (BiVO) is a widely recognized photoanode for PEC applications due to its visible light absorption, suitable valence band position for water oxidation, and outstanding potential for modifications.
