Article Abstract
Energy conversion devices require the parallel functionality of a variety of components for efficient operation. We present a versatile microfluidic test-bed for facile testing of integrated catalysis and mass transport components for energy conversion via water electrolysis. This system can be readily extended to solar-fuels generators and fuel-cell devices.

Conventional acid-catalyzed acetalization faces significant challenges in catalyst recovery and poses environmental concerns. Herein, we develop a CeO-supported Pd single-atom catalyst (Pd/CeO) that eliminates the reliance on liquid acids by creating a localized H-rich microenvironment through heterolytic H activation. X-ray absorption near-edge structure and extended X-ray absorption fine structure analyses confirm the atomic dispersion of Pd via Pd-O-Ce coordination, while density functional theory (DFT) calculations reveal strong metal-support interactions (SMSI) that facilitate electron transfer from CeO oxygen to Pd, downshifting the Pd d-band center and optimizing H activation.

For over half a century, clusters exhibiting unconventional bonding have captivated researchers due to their unique electronic characteristics. While most elements in the periodic table demonstrate this remarkable structural feature, sulfur has been notably absent from known global minima with a planar pentacoordinate center. Herein, we report the first binary dianion cluster, SMg, featuring a planar pentacoordinate sulfur (ppS) atom.

is a human fungal pathogen that survives and proliferates within phagocytic immune cells. To sustain growth in the nutrient-limited phagosome environment, the pathogenic yeast scavenges available carbon sources, which must be metabolized through central carbon metabolism for respiration and biomass synthesis. However, carbon metabolic pathways operating in the pathogenic yeast phase have not been extensively mapped.

is a thermophilic acetogenic bacterium capable of thriving at elevated temperatures up to 66°C. It metabolizes carbohydrates such as glucose, mannose, and fructose and can also grow lithotrophically utilizing hydrogen (H) and carbon dioxide (CO) or carbon monoxide (CO), with acetate serving as its main product. A simple and efficient genome editing system for would not only facilitate the understanding of the physiological function of enzymes involved in energy and carbon metabolism but also enable metabolic engineering.
