In the field of electrocatalysis, single-atomic-layer tungsten, copper, and cobalt oxide on CeO, ethylene diamine (ED) and reduced graphene oxide (rGO) supported materials shows tremendous potential. Despite the enormous interest in single metal atom oxide (SMAO) catalysts, it is still very difficult to directly convert readily available bulk metal oxide into single atom oxide. It is crucial and tough to create high performance materials for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in an alkaline environment. Herein, a single tungsten, copper and cobalt atom oxide (SMAO) anchored on the CeO atomic layer and overall components deposited on the rGO (rGO-ED-CeO-WCuCo) is prepared through a one-pot sonication technique. The presence of SMAO is identified by high-angle annular dark-field scanning transmission electron microscopy (HAADF-STEM) imaging. The electrocatalytic performance of final rGO-ED-CeO-WCuCo-30 nanocomposite for the OER in 1 M KOH electrolyte is evidenced by providing low overpotential of 283 mV at 10 mA cm. The Tafel slope for OER using rGO-ED-CeO-WCuCo-30 electrocatalysts is 57.03 mV dec. The electrocatalytic activity of rGO-ED-CeO-WCuCo-30 nanocomposites for OER was noticeably increased when compared to bare CeO nanorods (401 mV), rGO-ED-CeO-WCo-30 (345 mV), rGO-ED-CeO-WCu-30 (340 mV) and rGO-ED-CeO-WCuCo-20 (321 mV) samples.

Synergistic therapy combining photothermal therapy (PTT) and chemodynamic therapy (CDT) has proven to be a highly effective strategy for cancer treatment. However, PTT heavily relies on the accumulation of therapeutic agents at the tumor site. The peroxidase (POD) activity of common catalysts can be rapidly exhausted during the accumulation process, prior to laser intervention, thereby diminishing the synergistic enhancement effect of the combined therapy.

Glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) are promising pharmacological targets for developing antiparasitic agents against helminths, as they play a key role in detoxifying cytotoxic xenobiotics and managing oxidative stress. Inhibiting GST activity can compromise parasite viability. This study reports the successful identification of two selective inhibitors for the mu-class glutathione S-transferase of 25 kDa (Ts25GST) from , named and , using a computationally guided approach.

2-substituted quinolines are the building blocks for the synthesis of natural products and pharmaceuticals. In comparison with classical methods, dehydroaromatization of 2-substituted-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinolines has emerged in recent years as an efficient and straightforward method to synthesize quinolines due to its high atom economy and sustainability. However, existing chemical methods need transition metal catalysts and harsh reaction conditions.

Gold(I)-catalyzed intramolecular hydroarylation of dialkynyl(biaryl)phosphine oxides provided versatile benzo-fused phosphepine oxides. O-exo adducts were obtained as the major product, and O-endo adducts were the minor product. O-exo and O-endo indicate the position of an oxygen atom with respect to the central phosphepine framework.
