Hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) via electrocatalysis is one method of enabling sustainable production molecular hydrogen as a clean and promising energy carrier. Previous theoretical experimental results have shown that some two-dimensional (2D) transition metal carbides (MXenes) can be effective electrocatalysts for the HER, based on assumption they are functionalized entirely with oxygen or hydroxyl groups basal plane. However, it known MXenes contain other plane functionalities, e.g.,...
The development of highly efficient and durable earth-abundant hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) catalysts is crucial for the extensive implementation economy. Members 2D MXenes family, particularly Mo2CTx, have recently been identified as promising HER catalysts. However, their inherent oxidative instability in air aqueous electrolyte solutions hindering widespread use. Herein, we present a simple scalable method to circumvent adventitious oxidation Mo2CTx via situ sulfidation form...
We use density functional theory calculations to study a group of 2D materials known as MXenes toward the electrochemical nitrogen reduction reaction (NRR) ammonia. So far, all computational studies have only considered NRR chemistry on unfunctionalized (bare) MXenes. In this study, we investigate total 65 bare and functionalized establish free energy diagrams for basal planes 55 different M2XTx (M = Ti, V, Zr, Nb, Mo, Ta, W; X C, N) span large variety possible chemistries. Energy trends...
Hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) is vital for sustainable energy production and plays a key role in achieving hydrogen economy. Herein, density functional theory calculations are used to screen suitable HER catalysts among 24 two-dimensional double transition-metal (TM) carbide MXenes (chemical composition M2′M″C2Tx M2′M2″C3Tx; M′ M″ two different metals, = Cr, V, Ti, or Nb; Nb, Ta, V; T O and/or OH) determine their thermodynamic stability under HER-relevant conditions. The established...
In the brain, membrane associated nongenomic steroid receptors can induce fast-acting responses to ion conductance and second messenger systems of neurons. Emerging data suggest that glucocorticoid mineralocorticoid may directly regulate synaptic excitability during times stress when adrenal hormones are elevated. As key neuron signaling interface, synapse is involved in learning memory, including traumatic memories stress. The lateral amygdala a site for plasticity underlying conditioned...

The addiction potential of anabolic steroids remains largely unexplored. Here, we demonstrate voluntary oral testosterone intake in hamsters. Using a 2-bottle choice test, males preferred an aqueous solution 200 µg/ml over vehicle. However, the taste is not highly preferred. Addition at 400 increased fluid consumption from nonpreferred bottle but cholesterol same concentration reduced drinking, suggesting that reward common to all sterols. With food-induced maintained when food was...
Contextual fear conditioning is a Pavlovian paradigm capable of rapidly creating memories to contexts, such as rooms or chambers. protocols have long been utilised evaluate how are consolidated, maintained, expressed, recalled and extinguished within the brain. These studies identified lateral portion amygdala dorsal hippocampus essential for contextual memory consolidation. The current study was designed two different alter microglia, brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), phosphorylated...
