Nanoporous high-entropy alloys and metallic glasses: advanced electrocatalytic materials for electrochemical water splitting.

Chem Commun (Camb)

January 2025

Tianjin Key Laboratory of Advanced Functional Porous Materials, Institute for New Energy Materials and Low-Carbon Technologies, School of Materials Science and Engineering, Tianjin University of Technology, Tianjin 300384, China.

Electrochemical water splitting is a promising approach to convert renewable energy into hydrogen energy and is beneficial for alleviating environmental pollution and energy crises, and is considered a clean method to achieve dual-carbon goals. Electrocatalysts can effectively reduce the reaction energy barrier and improve reaction efficiency. However, designing electrocatalysts with high activity and stability still faces significant challenges, which are closely related to the structure and electronic configuration of catalysts.

HO Triggering Electron-Directed Transfer of Emerging Contaminants over Asymmetric Nano Zinc Oxide Surfaces for Water Self-Purification Expansion.

JACS Au

January 2025

Key Laboratory for Water Quality and Conservation of the Pearl River Delta, Ministry of Education, Institute of Environmental Research at Greater Bay, Guangzhou University, Guangzhou 510006, China.

Slow mass transfer processes between inert emerging contaminants (ECs) and dissolved oxygen (DO) limit natural water self-purification; thus, excessive energy consumption is necessary to achieve ECs removal, which has become a longstanding global challenge. Here, we propose an innovative water self-purification expansion strategy by constructing asymmetric surfaces that could modulate trace HO as trigger rather than oxidant to bridge a channel between inert ECs and natural dissolved oxygen, achieved through a dual-reaction-center (DRC) catalyst consisting of Cu/Co lattice-substituted ZnO nanorods (CCZO-NRs). During water purification, the bond lengths of emerging contaminants (ECs) adsorbed on the asymmetric surface were stretched, and this stretching was further enhanced by HO mediation, resulting in a significant reduction of bond-breaking energy barriers.

Background: This video article describes the use of bone-anchored prostheses for patients with transtibial amputations, most often resulting from trauma, infection, or dysvascular disease. Large studies have shown that about half of all patients with a socket-suspended artificial limb experience limited mobility and limited prosthesis use because of socket-related problems. These problems occur at the socket-residual limb interface as a result of a painful and unstable connection, leading to an asymmetrical gait and subsequent pelvic and back pain.

PdNi Trimer Sites Drive Efficient and Durable Hydrogen Oxidation in Alkaline Media.

J Am Chem Soc

January 2025

Beijing National Laboratory for Molecular Sciences (BNLMS), Institute of Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100190, China.

Anion-exchange membrane fuel cell (AEMFC) is a cost-effective hydrogen-to-electricity conversion technology under a zero-emission scenario. However, the sluggish kinetics of the anodic hydrogen oxidation reaction (HOR) impedes the commercial implementation of AEMFCs. Here, we develop a Pd single-atom-embedded NiN catalyst (Pd/NiN) with unconventional PdNi trimer sites to drive efficient and durable HOR in alkaline media.

Background: Previous studies utilizing dual-energy CT (DECT) for evaluating treatment efficacy in nasopharyngeal cancinoma (NPC) are limited. This study aimed to investigate whether the parameters from DECT can predict the response to induction chemotherapy in NPC patients in two centers.

Methods: This two-center retrospective study included patients diagnosed with NPC who underwent contrast-enhanced DECT between March 2019 and November 2023.
