Abstract The development of cost‐effective and efficient catalysts for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) has been a subject intense research sustainable clean energy in recent decades. For this purpose, CuO‐modified stainless steel (CuO‐SS) electrode was fabricated to attain HER acidic media. Here in, CuO film on (SS) surface following successive ionic layer adsorption (SILAR) method. A 60‐cycle modification resulted enhanced activity compared bare SS or with an average 99 % Faradic...

A low‐cost glassy carbon electrode (GCE), modified with minimum amount of noble metal rhodium (Rh) via electrodeposition method can sensibly enhance the electrocatalytic oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in H3PO4 solution (pH∼2.0). The successful Rh was confirmed by using field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE‐SEM) and X‐ray photoelectron (XPS). rotating disk (RDE) technique used kinetic investigation to confirm ORR mechanism followed 4e‐ transfer process, resulting production water...

Alkyl sulfonated polyimides (ASPIs), as alternative polymer electrolytes for fuel cells, are known to exhibit lyotropic liquid crystalline behavior upon water uptake, forming organized lamellar structures and achieving high proton conductivity. Previous experimental studies have shown that ASPIs with planar backbones enhanced conductivity (0.2 S/cm) compared those bent (0.03 S/cm). To explain this difference at the atomistic level, molecular dynamics simulations were conducted using a...

To examine the role of sink size on photosynthetic acclimation under elevated atmospheric CO2 concentrations ([CO2]), we tested effects panicle-removal (PR) treatment photosynthesis in rice (Oryza sativa L.). Rice was grown at two [CO2] levels (ambient and ambient + 200 μmol mol-1) throughout growing season, full-heading stage, half plants, a sink-limitation imposed by removal panicles. The PR alleviated reduction green leaf area, contents chlorophyll (Chl) Rubisco after suggesting delay...

Metal string complexes, linearly aligned transition metal arrays coordinated with the multidentate organic ligands, have gained much attention both in unique electronic/structural properties and potential applications as conductive molecular nanowires. Here we report on a dimerized NiII trinuclear complex, [Ni6Cl2(dpa)8](I5)2·0.25I2 (dpa– = 2,2′-dipyridylamide anion). X-ray structural analysis revealed that two moieties are bridged by Cl anion to form structure. This is first example of Ni...

Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are promising materials because of their high designability pores and functionalities. Especially, MOF thin films properties have been investigated toward applications in nanodevices. Typically, fabricated by using a bottom-up method such as layer-by-layer (LbL) growth air. Because the water molecules can coordinate be replaced with organic linkers during synthesis, humidity conditions will expected to influence LbL processes. In this study, we composed Zn2+,...
