Role of Transition Metals in Pt Alloy Catalysts for the Oxygen Reduction Reaction.

ACS Catal

Department of Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering, University of California, Irvine, California 92697, United States.

Published: November 2023

In pursuit of higher activity and stability of electrocatalysts toward the oxygen reduction reaction, it has become standard practice to alloy platinum in various structural configurations. Transition metals have been extensively studied for their ability to tune catalyst functionality through strain, ligand, and ensemble effects. The origin of these effects and potential for synergistic application in practical materials have been the subject of many theoretical and experimental analyses in recent years. Here, a comprehensive overview of these phenomena is provided regarding the impact on reaction mechanisms and kinetics through combined experimental and theoretical approaches. Experimental approaches to electrocatalysis are discussed.

This study presents the design of a high-gain 16 × 16-slot antenna array with a low sidelobe level (SLL) using a tapered ridge gap waveguide feeding network for Ka-band applications. The proposed antenna element includes four cavity-backed slot antennas. A tapered feeding network is designed and utilized for unequal feeding of the radiating elements.

Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a common cerebrovascular disease characterized by a high incidence, disability rate, and mortality. Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), a key catechin compound found in green tea, has received increasing attention for its potential neuroprotective and therapeutic effects in neurological disorders. Studies have indicated that EGCG may influence various signaling pathways and molecular targets, including the inhibition of oxidative stress, reduction of inflammatory responses, suppression of cell apoptosis, regulation of cell survival, and enhancement of autophagy.

Division of Zoonosis Research, National Institute of Animal Health, National Agriculture and Food Research Organization, Tsukuba, Ibaraki, Japan.

Salmonella enterica serovar 4,[5],12:i:- sequence type 34 (ST34) has recently become a global concern for public and animal health. The acquisition of mobile genetic element ICEmST, which contains two copper tolerance gene clusters, cus and pco, influences the epidemic success of this clone. Copper is used as a feed additive in swine at levels that potentially lead to selection pressure for Enterobacteriaceae; however, it remains unclear whether the copper tolerance system of ICEmST functions in vivo.

Over the past decades, bacterial infections resulting from the misuse of antibiotics have garnered significant attention. Among the alternative antibacterial strategies, photodynamic therapy (PDT) has emerged as a promising non-antibiotic approach. However, persistent bacterial biofilms, particularly those composed of gram-negative bacteria with their protective outer membranes, have exhibited remarkable resilience to PDT.
