The increasing demand for green hydrogen is driving the development of efficient and durable electrocatalysts for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Nickel-molybdenum (NiMo) alloys are among the best HER electrocatalysts in alkaline electrolytes, and here we report a scalable solution precursor plasma spraying (SPPS) process to produce the highly active NiMo electrocatalysts directly onto metallic substrates. The NiMo coating coated onto inexpensive Ni mesh revealed an excellent HER performance with an overpotential of only 26 mV at -10 mA cm with a Tafel slope of 55 mV dec. Excellent operational stability with minimum changes in overpotential were also observed even after extensive 60 hour high-current stability test. In addition, we investigate the influence of different substrates over the catalytic performance and operational stability. We also proposed that a slow, but consistent, dissolution of Mo is the primary degradation mechanism of NiMo-based coatings. This unique SPPS approach enables the scalable production of exceptional NiMo electrocatalysts with remarkable activity and durability, positioning them as ideal cathode materials for practical applications in alkaline water electrolysers.

Diversity patterns and knowledge gaps of Atlantic Forest epiphyllous bryophytes: a highly neglected group.

Background: Epiphyllous bryophytes are a group of plants with complex adaptations to colonize the leaves of vascular plants and are considered one of the most specialized and sensitive groups to environmental changes. Despite their specificity and ecological importance, these plants represent a largely neglected group in relation to scientific research and ecological data. This lack of information directly affects our understanding of biodiversity patterns and compromises the conservation of this group in threatened ecosystems.

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) refers to initiatives undertaken by corporations that aim to make a positive impact on society. It is unclear to what extent these aims are achieved in relation to population health. We explored the evidence for mechanisms by which CSR has positive or negative effects on population health through a systematic-narrative hybrid review of 97 relevant articles.

As an important small molecule, adenosine triphosphate (ATP) plays an important role in the regulation of cell metabolism and supplies energy for various biochemical reactions in organisms. We herein developed a sensitive surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) biosensor for highly specific detection of ATP using core-satellite assemblies. To construct the aptamer-based biosensor, a known ATP binding aptamer was divided into two segments.

Thymidine kinase 1 (TK1), a crucial enzyme in DNA synthesis, is highly expressed in various cancers. However, the mechanisms underlying its elevated expression and the implications for tumor metabolism remain unclear. Here we demonstrate that activation of growth factor receptors enhances TK1 expression.
