Due to the objectives established by the European Union and other countries, hydrogen production will be a key technology in the coming decades. There are several starting materials and procedures for its production. All methods have advantages and disadvantages, and the improvements in their performance and decreases in operational costs will be decisive in determining which of them is implemented. For all cases, including for the storage and transport of hydrogen, membranes determine the performance of the process, as well as the operational costs. The present contribution summarizes the most recent membrane technologies for the main methods of hydrogen production, including the challenges to overcome in each case.

Copper-tantalate, CuTaO (CTO), shows significant promise as an efficient photocathode for multi-carbon compounds (C) production through photoelectrochemical (PEC) CO reduction, owing to its suitable energy bands and catalytic surface. However, synthesizing CTO poses a significant challenge due to its metastable nature and thermal instability. In this study, this challenge is addressed by employing a flux-mediated synthesis technique using a sodium-based flux to create sodium-doped CTO (Na-CTO) thin films, providing enhanced nucleation and stabilization for the CTO phase.

Atomically precise synthesis of graphene nanostructures on semiconductors and insulators has been a formidable challenge. In particular, the metallic substrates needed to catalyze cyclodehydrogenative planarization reactions limit subsequent applications that exploit the electronic and/or magnetic structure of graphene derivatives. Here, we introduce a protocol in which an on-surface reaction is initiated and carried out regardless of the substrate type.

Background: Extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1 (ERK1) belongs to mitogen-activated protein kinases, which are essential for memory formation, cognitive function, and synaptic plasticity. During Alzheimer's disease (AD), ERK1 phosphorylates tau at 15 phosphorylation sites, leading to the formation of neurofibrillary tangles. The overactivation of ERK1 in microglia promotes the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines, which results in neuroinflammation.

The unique structure of chitosan-based micelles can be loaded with essential oil, so it is significant to study the modification of chitosan and the interactions between chitosan and essential oil, while molecular dynamics (MD) simulation and density functional theory (DFT) provide a solution. In this study, three kinds of amphiphilic chitosan derivatives (CSDs) were constructed by grafting of different hydrophilic and hydrophobic groups. Amphiphilic chitosan micelles loaded with Chinese fir essential oil (CFEO) were prepared by self-assembly.

During the proliferative phase of liver regeneration, insufficient regulation of hepatocyte hydrogen peroxide (HO) overproduction can result in oxidative stress and hepatocyte death. This study aims to investigate the influence of Aquaporin 5 (Aqp5) on liver regeneration by evaluating its role in reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation and NLRP3-GSDMD-mediated pyroptosis. A 70 % partial hepatectomy (PHx) model was established in Aqp5 mice to evaluate the pathological changes in the liver.
