Carbon-supported MxPy (M = Ni, Co, W, Cr, and Mo) were prepared via pyrolysis using a very simple scalable method utilizing nontoxic metal phosphorus precursors. The electrochemical hydrogen evolution (HER), oxygen reduction (ORR), (OER) reactions corrosion resistance under both acidic alkaline conditions examined for all these catalysts compared to those the benchmark Pt/C (HER/ORR) IrO2 (OER). highest activities found in solutions Co2P HER ORR Ni2P OER. Good activity was also acid some of...
Abstract Electrochemical CO 2 reduction (CO R) is an attractive option for storing renewable electricity and the sustainable production of valuable chemicals fuels. In this roadmap, we review recent progress in fundamental understanding, catalyst development, engineering scale-up. We discuss outstanding challenges towards commercialization electrochemical R technology: energy efficiencies, selectivities, low current densities, stability. highlight opportunities establishing rigorous...
Abstract Sodium‐ion batteries as a prospective alternative to lithium‐ion are facing the challenge of developing high‐performance, low‐cost and sustainable anode materials. Hard carbons appropriate store sodium ions, but major energy environmental concerns during their fabrication process (i.e., high‐temperature carbonization) have not been properly assessed. Furthermore, rational design high‐performing hard carbon anodes is usually limited by conventional direct carbonization organic...
Abstract Understanding what controls the reaction rate on iridium-based catalysts is central to designing better electrocatalysts for water oxidation in proton exchange membrane electrolysers. Here we quantify densities of redox-active centres and probe their binding strengths amorphous IrO x rutile 2 using operando time-resolved optical spectroscopy. We establish a quantitative experimental correlation between intrinsic active-state energetics. find that adsorbed oxygen species, *O, formed...
Understanding the effect of noncovalent interactions intermediates at polarized catalyst–electrolyte interface on water oxidation kinetics is key for designing more active and stable electrocatalysts. Here, we combine operando optical spectroscopy, X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), surface-enhanced infrared (SEIRAS) to probe oxygen evolution reaction (OER) activity IrOx in acidic alkaline electrolytes. Our results suggest that species OER (Ir4.x+–*O) binds much stronger compared with acid...

On May 15, 1862, U.S. General Benjamin Butler, commander of occupied New Orleans, ordered that any woman who publicly insulted Union soldiers be subject to prosecution as a prostitute. Not all nineteenth-century women, Butler learned, felt their place was in the home. As his order implies, women were governed by an unwritten code public conduct, appeared on streets, spoke out issues, and subjects policy. In Women Public noted historian Mary P. Ryan examines each these issues it affected...
High-aspect ratio ZnO nanowires have become one of the most promising products in nanosciences within past few years with a multitude applications at interface optics and electronics. The interaction zinc cells organisms is complex, both deficiency excess causing severe effects. emerging significance for many cellular processes makes it imperative to investigate biological safety order guarantee their safe economic exploitation.

Silver nanoparticles (AgNP) are known to penetrate into the brain and cause neuronal death. However, there is a paucity in studies examining effect of AgNP on resident immune cells brain, microglia. Given microglia implicated neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson's disease (PD), it important examine how AgNPs affect microglial inflammation fully assess neurotoxicity. In addition, understanding processing by will allow better prediction their long term bioreactivity. present study,...
The growing use of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) in consumer products has raised concerns about their potential impact on the environment and human health. Whether AgNPs dissolve release Ag+ ions, or coarsen to form large aggregates, is critical determining toxicity. In this work, stability dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC), major component pulmonary surfactant, was investigated as a function pH. Spherical, citrate-capped with average diameters 14 ± 1.6 nm (n = 200) were prepared by...
Particle size and surface chemistry are potential determinants of silver nanoparticle (AgNP) respiratory toxicity that may also depend on the lung inflammatory state. We compared effects intratracheally-administered AgNPs (20nm 110nm; polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) citrate-capped; 0.1 mg/Kg) in Brown-Norway (BN) Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats. In BN rats, there was both a neutrophilic eosinophilic response, while SD response at day 1, greatest for 20nm citrate-capped AgNPs. Eosinophilic cationic...
