The electrochemical hydrogen production from water splitting is a promising strategy for obtaining new energy sources and replacing fossil fuels. In this study, nickel nanocones were first deposited on a nickel foam substrate using a direct current method. Then, a nickel-cobalt-manganese ternary alloy with a nanosheet morphology was deposited on the nanocones using a cyclic voltammetry method with different cycles and sweep rates. The results show that the sample synthesized in 3 cycles with a sweep rate of 10 mV s exhibits the best electrocatalytic activity and requires -81, -121, and -214 mV overpotentials to reach 10, 20 and 100 mA cm current densities, respectively. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy studies also improved the HER performance with the lowest charge transfer resistance among all of the synthesized electrodes. This study introduces an effective and facile method for the fabrication of highly active and stable electrocatalysts.

Temporomandibular disorders (TMD) are a public health problem that affects around 12% of the global population. The treatment is based on analgesics, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory, corticosteroids, anticonvulsants, or arthrocentesis associated with hyaluronic acid-based viscosupplementation. However, the use of hyaluronic acid alone in viscosupplementation does not seem to be enough to regulate the intra-articular inflammatory process.

A recrosslinkable CO-resistant branched preformed particle gel (CO-BRPPG) was developed for controlling CO injection conformance, particularly in reservoirs with super-permeable channels. Previous work focused on a millimeter-sized CO-BRPPG in open fractures, but its performance in high-permeability channels with pore throat networks remained unexplored. This study used a sandpack model to evaluate a micro-sized CO-BRPPG under varying conditions of salinity, gel concentration, and pH.

Avian haemosporidian parasites and avian pox virus (APV) are well-known pathogens for their impact on avian populations, especially in oceanic islands where introduced pathogens show strong virulence for endemic and naïve birds. The Bonin Islands are a group of oceanic islands 1000 km south of Tokyo. Like the Hawaiian Islands, there are many endemic and endangered species as well as introduced species, which have greatly affected the native avian fauna.

Due to their low cost, high stability, minimal leakage risks, and a wide variety of modification opportunities, hydrogel electrolytes are considered the most promising solution compared to liquid or solid electrolytes. Here, we synthesized a dual-function hydrogel electrolyte based on polyacrylamide and poly(ethylene dioxythiophene):polystyrene (PPP).

Coordination polymers (CPs) have emerged as potential energy storage materials for supercapacitors due to their tunable chemical composition, structural diversity, and multielectron redox-active sites. However, besides poor cycling stability, the practical application of dense CPs in supercapacitors is generally limited by low specific capacitance and high resistance, which are caused by their low specific surface area and dense frameworks, resulting in insufficient redox reactions of metal sites and poor ion diffusion, respectively. Here, we synthesize a new dense CP {CP-1: [Ce(obb)(HCOO)]} via self-assembly of the Ce cation and 4,4'-oxidibenzoate (obb).
