Article Abstract
The unusually high tolerance toward chemical functional groups of the copper(I)-catalyzed Huisgen-Sharpless-Meldal 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of azides and alkynes protocol (the CuAAC or "click" reaction) associated with its mild conditions and high yields has been explored in the present methodology to successfully prepare water oxidation catalyst iridium oxide nanoparticles decorated with organic dyes. The "click reaction" has proven to be an excellent synthetic tool to overcome the incompatible solubility of the hydrophilic iridium oxide nanoparticles and the hydrophobic dyes. A complex artificial photosynthetic model designed to mimic the photoinduced redox processes occurring in photosystem II is used as a hydrophobic dye to highlight the efficiency and selectiveness of the method.

Proton exchange membrane water electrolysis (PEMWE) is regarded as the most promising technique for the sustainable production of green hydrogen due to its multiple advantages such as high working current density and high hydrogen purity. However, the anodic oxygen evolution reaction (OER) has a significant impact on the overall efficiency of the electrolytic water reaction due to its sluggish kinetics, which has prompted the search for catalysts possessing both high activity and durability. Iridium oxide exhibits excellent stability under acidic conditions but has poor catalytic activity, leading to its inability to meet the strict requirements of large-scale industrial applications.

Dispersing iridium onto high-specific-surface-area supports is a widely adopted strategy to maximize iridium utilization in anode catalysts of proton exchange membrane water electrolysis (PEMWE). However, here we demonstrate that the overall cell performance, including initial efficiency and long-term stability, does not benefit from the typical high specific surface area of catalyst supports. The conventional understanding that high iridium utilization on high-specific-surface-area supports increases activity holds only in aqueous electrolytes, while under the typical working conditions of PEMWE, the mass transport within the anode catalyst layers plays a more significant role in the overall performance.

This study presents the in vitro and preliminary ex vivo development of a novel microneedle-based pH sensor for continuous intrapartum fetal monitoring. The objective was to evaluate the feasibility of using microneedle sensors to monitor fetal pH during labour and to develop a proof-of-principle microneedle pH sensor that meets clinical requirements such as high sensitivity to small pH changes (0.05 units) within a relevant range (6.

The combination of excellent stimulation properties and long-term stability of electrodes is key in the development of a clinical neural prosthesis for intracortical stimulation. Iridium oxide combines both characteristics, but its quality is highly dependent on the exact fabrication parameters. In this study, the fabrication of sputtered iridium oxide films (SIROFs) was investigated in terms of oxygen flow, sputtering power and sputtering time.

Recording directly from the spinal cord surface in freely behaving animals provides a promising means to investigate spinal electrophysiology, typically examined in stimulation experiments or during controlled behaviour. In a two-week experiment, we extract high-frequency spiking activity in control and spinal cord injured rats during freely behaving, open-field recording sessions. Electrical signals were recorded using sputtered iridium oxide (SIROF) electrodes on a polyimide-based, flexible probe surgically inserted beneath the dura of the spinal column, with electrodes in direct contact with the thoracic and lumbar spinal cord.
