Article Abstract
Understanding the reactivity of H2 is of critical importance in controlling and optimizing many heterogeneous catalytic processes, particularly in cases where its adsorption on the catalyst surface is rate-limiting. In this work, we examine the temperature-dependent adsorption of H2/D2 on the clean RuO2(110) surface using the King and Wells molecular beam approach, temperature-programmed desorption (TPD), and scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). We show that the adsorption probability of H2/D2 on this surface is highly temperature-dependent, decreasing from ∼0.4 below 25 K to <0.01 at 300 K. Both STM and TPD reveal that adsorption (molecular or dissociative) is severely limited once the temperature exceeds the trailing edge temperature of the H2 TPD state (∼150 K). The presence of coadsorbed water or oxygen does not appear to alter this situation. Previous literature reports of extensive RuO2(110) surface hydroxylation from H2/D2 exposures at 300 K may instead be the result of background contamination brought about by chamber backfilling.

This study presents a comprehensive first-principles and device-performance investigation of alkali metal-based anti-perovskites ZBrO (Z = K, Rb, Cs, and Fr) for advanced optoelectronic and photovoltaic applications. Using density functional theory (DFT) with GGA-PBE and mGGA-rSCAN functionals, we analyzed the structural, electronic, optical, mechanical, phonon, population, and thermoelectric properties of these compounds. All ZBrO materials exhibit direct band gaps and strong optical absorption in the visible-UV spectrum.

Secondary metabolites are important bioactive compounds for diet and medicine. This study optimizes the extraction of hydroethanolic herbal extracts using an EDGE (Energized Dispersive Guided Extraction) system, evaluates their antioxidant capacity, and analyzes correlations among antioxidant activity, total phenolic content, and individual compounds. A Doehlert matrix design was used to optimize extraction, having temperature and time as independent variables, and total phenolic content (mg GAE/g) as the response, quantified via the Folin-Ciocalteu method.

Purpose: Dopamine is a neurotransmitter implicated in functions ranging from motor control to cognitive performance. In humans, dopaminergic markers have been associated with seasonal symptomatic fluctuations. Here we investigated potential seasonal variations in dopamine D2/D3 receptor availability in healthy adults using [C]PHNO positron emission tomography (PET) imaging.

Polyimide (PI) faces significant challenges in highly integrated and high-frequency electronic devices due to its inherently low thermal conductivity and relatively high dielectric constant (D). In this study, topologically micro-crosslinked PI films were synthesized by incorporating highly conjugated multi-amino polydiacetylene (MAPDA) into a fluorinated PI matrix. The unique alkene-alkyne alternating conjugated structure of MAPDA, combined with the strong electron-withdrawing trifluoromethyl groups in the matrix, promotes charge redistribution and reduces the dipole moment and polarizability.
