A thorough comprehension of the mechanism behind organic electrooxidation is crucial for development efficient energy conversion technology. Here, we find that trivalent nickel capable oxidizing organics through a nucleophilic attack and electron transfer via nonredox process. This exhibits exceptional kinetic efficiency in possess highest occupied molecular orbital levels ranging from -7.4 to -6 eV (vs. Vacuum level) dual local softness values atoms functional groups, such as hydroxyls...

Abstract Compressive strain, downshifting the d -band center of transition metal oxides, is an effective way to accelerate sluggish kinetics oxygen evolution reaction (OER) for water electrolysis. Here, we find that anisotropic thermal expansion can produce compressive strains IrO 6 octahedron in Sr 2 4 catalyst, thus its d- band center. Different from previous strategies create constant crystals, thermal-triggered be real-timely tuned by varying temperature. As a result strain accelerating...

The comprehension of activity and selectivity origins the electrooxidation organics is a crucial knot for development highly efficient energy conversion system that can produce value-added chemicals on both anode cathode. Here, we find potential-retaining trivalent nickel in NiOOH (Fermi level, −7.4 eV) capable selectively oxidizing various primary alcohols to carboxylic acids through nucleophilic attack nonredox electron transfer process. This (methanol, ethanol, propanol, butanol, benzyl...

Substantial overpotentials and insufficient unstable active sites of oxygen evolution reaction (OER) electrocatalysts limit their efficiency stability in OER-related energy conversion storage technologies. Here, a template editing strategy is proposed to graft highly catalytic species onto conductive rigid frameworks tackle this challenge. As successful attempt, two types NiO6 units layered Ni BDC (BDC stands for 1,4-benzenedicarboxylic acid) metal organic are selectively edited by chemical...

To explore the effects of acute paraquat (PQ) exposure on phenotypic polarization hippocampal microglia and its mechanism. An PQ rat model was established. Male SD rats were exposed to 0, 5, 25, 50 mg/kg PQ, brain tissue collected after 1, 3, 7 days exposure, respectively. Hippocampal pathological changes examined by H&E staining, immunohistochemistry (IHC) used detect in number Iba-1-positive cells, average endpoints, process length. The protein expression Iba-1 detected western blotting....

Ozone pollution has been associated with several adverse effects, including memory impairment, intellectual retardation, emotional disturbances. However, the potential mechanisms remain uncertain. The present study aimed to investigate whether ozone (O3) regulates synaptic plasticity through PI3K/Akt/GSK3β signaling pathway and induces neurobehavioral modifications among young rats. In vivo, newborn rats were used construct animal model of early postnatal O3 treatment. vitro, this measured...
