The development of highly active and stable cathodes in alkaline solutions is crucial for promoting the commercialization of anion exchange membrane (AEM) electrolyzers, yet it remains a significant challenge. Herein, we synthesized atomically dispersed CoP moieties (CoP-SSC) immobilized on ultrathin carbon nanosheets via a phosphidation exfoliation strategy at medium temperature. The thermodynamic formation process of the Co-P moieties was elucidated using X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and theoretical calculations.

Dichlorobenzene is beneficial to industries, however, the release of this compound into the environment causes significant damage to ecosystems and human health, as it exhibits resistance to biodegradation. Here, we show that chlorophenol and resorcinol are synthesized from 1,3-dichlorobenzene in a water ice environment (1) directly on a poly-crystalline gold surface and (2) after low-energy (<12 eV) electron irradiation of admixture films. For the latter, at energies below 5.

Small interfering RNA (siRNA) therapy in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a promising strategy as the siRNA molecule can specifically target proteins involved in abnormal cell proliferation. The development of a clinically applicable method for delivering siRNA molecules is imperative due to the challenges involved in effectively delivering the siRNA into cells. We investigated the delivery of siRNA to AML MOLM-13 cells with the use of two lipid-substituted polyethyleneimines (PEIs), a commercially available reagent (Prime-Fect) and a recently reported reagent with improved lipid substitution (PEI1.

Sepsis, a life-threatening disruption, remains a significant global healthcare challenge that urgently needs novel strategies to improve management. This study aimed to develop multifunctional vancomycin-loaded polymersomes (VCM-HA-SIL-Ps) using a novel hyaluronic acid-silybin (HA-SIL) conjugate to target the TLR inflammatory pathway and enhance VCM's efficacy against bacterial sepsis. HA-SIL was synthesized and characterized by FT-IR, UV-Vis spectroscopy, and H NMR.

Multi-drug-resistant (MDR) pathogens represent a critical global health threat, necessitating the development of novel antimicrobial agents with broad-spectrum activity and minimal toxicity. This study investigates the antimicrobial and anti-biofilm properties of 4-Allyl-2-methoxyphenol (eugenol, EU) and (E)-3-Phenylprop-2-enal (cinnamaldehyde, CN) against 19 clinically significant pathogens through a combination of in-vitro assays and in-silico analyses. EU displayed remarkable activity, particularly against Aspergillus niger (20.
