The Sabatier principle defines the essential criteria for an ideal catalyst in heterogeneous catalysis, while reaching the Sabatier optimum is still challenging in catalyst design. Herein, an elegant strategy is described to reach the Sabatier optimum of Ni electrocatalyst in CO reduction reaction (CO RR) by atomically Zn doping. The incorporation of 3% Zn single atom into Ni lattice leads to the moderate degrade of d-band center via Ni-Zn electronic coupling, which balances the bonding strengths of *COOH and *CO, resulting in a relative low energy barrier for CO activation while not being substantially poisoned by CO. Consequently, NiZn /C exhibits unique catalytic activity (j >100 mA cm at -0.6 V), wide potential range for selective CO production (FE >90% from -0.65 to -1.15 V), and outstanding long-term stability (FE >90% during 85 h electrolysis at -0.85 V). The results provide valuable insights for the rational fabrication of superior non-noble bimetallic electrocatalysts in CO electroreduction.

Single-atom catalysts (SACs) are widely employed in Fenton-like catalysis, yet guidelines for their high-performance design remain elusive. The Sabatier principle provides guidance for the ideal catalyst with the highest activity. Herein, the study meticulously engineered a series of SACs featuring a broad distribution of d-band center through single-atom coordination engineering, facilitating a comprehensive exploration of the Sabatier relationship in Fenton-like catalysis.

Background: Conditioning bifunctional agent, busulfan, is commonly used on children before hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Currently, at the Ramathibodi hospital, Bangkok, Thailand, initial dosing is calculated according to age and body surface area, and 7 samples per day are used for therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM). This study aimed to identify the best strategies for individual dosages a priori from patient characteristics and a posteriori based on TDM.

The Sabatier principle is widely explored in heterogeneous catalysis, graphically depicted in volcano plots. The most desirable activity is located at the peak of the volcano, and further advances in activity past this optimum are possible by designing a catalyst that circumvents the limitation entailed by the Sabatier principle. Herein, by density functional theory calculations, we discovered an unusual Sabatier principle on high entropy alloy (HEA) surface, distinguishing the "just right" (ΔG = 0 eV) in the Sabatier principle of hydrogen evolution reaction (HER).

Two main landscapes emerge from the Guiana Shield: the highlands to the west called the Pantepui region and the Amazonian lowlands to the east, both harbouring numerous endemic species. With 32 currently recognized species, the genus Anomaloglossus stands out among Neotropical frogs as one that diversified only within the Guiana Shield both in the highlands and the lowlands. We present a time-calibrated phylogeny obtained by using combined mitogenomic and nuclear DNA, which suggests that the genus originates from Pantepui where extant lineages started diversifying around 21 Ma, and subsequently (ca.

Many perovskite oxides (ABO ) are considered the most promising alternatives to noble metal catalysts for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) due to their high intrinsic activities. However, their electrocatalytic performance is often limited by poor electrical conductivity and low specific surface area. Here an electrochemically induced calcium-leaching process is reported to greatly increase the electrochemical surface area (ECSA) of La Ca MnO (LCMO64).
