Developing FeOOH as a robust electrocatalyst for high output oxygen evolution reaction (OER) remains challenging due to its low conductivity and dissolvability in alkaline conditions. Herein, it is demonstrated that the Zn doped NiOOH-FeOOH (Zn-Fex Ni(1-x) )OOH catalyst can be derived by electro-oxidation-induced reconstruction from pre-electrocatalyst of modified Ni metal/FeOOH film supported nickel foam (NF). In situ Raman ex characterizations elucidate undergoes dynamic occurring on both...

It is widely acknowledged that clay minerals have detrimental effects on the process of flotation, but mechanisms involved are still not fully understood. In this work, montmorillonite, kaolinite, and illite pyrite flotation were investigated from perspective various structures minerals. Flotation tests suggested effect increased as follows: montmorillonite > kaolinite illite. With help rheology measurements, it was found significantly pulp viscosity, which in turn substantially reduced...

Developing earth-abundant, active, and stable electrocatalysts for hydrogen evolution reactions (HERs) at large current densities has remained challenging. Herein, heterostructured nickel foam-supported cobalt carbonate hydroxide nanoarrays embellished with NiCoSx nanoflakes (NiCoSx@CoCH NAs/NF) are designed via room-temperature sulfurization, which can drive 10 1000 mA cm–2 low overpotentials of 55 438 mV HER exhibit impressive long-term stability the industrial-level density. Surprisingly,...

Maca has been consumed as a medical food in Peru for thousands of years, and exerts anxiolytic antidepressant effects. Our present study aimed to evaluate the behavior anatomical biochemical effects petroleum ether extract from maca (ME) chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS) model depression mice. Three different doses (125, 250, 500 mg/kg) were orally administrated six-week CUMS procedure. Fluoxetine (10 was used positive control drug. (250 significantly decreased duration immobility...

Large-current-density electrocatalytic water splitting is essential for industrial hydrogen production, but it currently hindered by lacking active and robust evolution reaction (HER) catalysts. Herein, a novel electrode of hollow nanowire arrays constructed NiCo modified RuO2 nanoparticles on Ni foam (NiCo@RuO2 HNAs/NF) high-performance HER was reported. Such efficient fabricated ion exchange with NF-supported cobalt carbonate hydroxide template (Ni@CoCH NAs/NF). The formed NiCo@RuO2...

The implementation of cheap iron-based catalysts for seawater electrolysis at high- current-density offers an economical and sustainable solution industrial hydrogen production in near future. However, Fe-based electrodes suffer from poor intrinsic activity corrosion resistance seawater, resulting unsatisfactory splitting performance. Here, we reported the scale-up fabrication whole-Fe-based (NiFe-X (X=O, P) NAs/Fe foam) by facile soaking-phosphating. Surface active layers exhibit enhanced...

Mega H2 production by water electrolysis is essential to replace our current energy carrier mix with a sustainable system. However, the implementation of technology worldwide affordable rather challenging owing shortage fresh and lack efficient inexpensive electrodes. Here, we covered above crucial challenges towards using most abundant resources on Earth (iron, seawater renewable energies). The whole-Fe-based electrodes (Fe foam supported NiFe-X (X=O, P) nanowire arrays) were produced...
