Article Abstract
We report here the remarkable catalytic efficiency observed for two Pd(II) azamacrocyclic complexes supported on multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) toward oxygen reduction reactions. Beyond a main (>90%) 4e process and an onset potential close to or better than those of commercial Pt electrodes, the MWCNTs functionalization strategy, aimed at chemically defined Pd(II)-based catalytic centers, allowed the half-cell to exceed the proton-exchange-membrane fuel-cell reference/target mass activity efficiency set by the U.S. Department of Energy for 2020 (440 mA/mg at 0.9 V vs reversible hydrogen electrode).

Argonaute (Ago) is a DNA-guided programmable endonuclease with emerging applications in genome engineering, yet the rate-determining dynamic mechanisms governing its transition from guide-target hybridization to catalytic activation remain unresolved. Here, we employ molecular dynamics simulations and the Traveling-salesman-based Automated Path Searching (TAPS) approach to dissect the target DNA recognition in the middle region (nt 9-12) of Ago. We designed two paths to tackle this problem: one assumed that coordination of the target DNA backbone occurs before base-pairing between the target and guide DNA; the other hypothesized a concerted transition without preferred order between backbone-coordination and base-pairing.

Inspired by "the composition of catechol and amine groups in the adhesive proteins" of marine mussel and "brick-and-mortar" structure of nacre, we use polydopamine (PDA) as "mortar", graphene oxides (GO) nanosheets as "brick", and Pd ions as interfacial reinforcer, to fabricate nacre-like Pd enhanced PDA functionalized GO membranes (Pd@PDA/GO) with vacuum filtration-assisted assembly method. Meanwhile, in situ reduced Pd nanoclusters by PDA chains were well constrained within the resultant Pd@PDA/GO artificial nacre composites. Good interfacial adhesion with dense packing of the GO nanosheets was further confirmed with sub-nano level microstructure characterization by positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy.

The 5-hydroxymethylfurfural electrooxidation reaction (HMFOR) stands out due to the value-added production and mild conditions. However, its catalytic efficiency is hampered by sluggish kinetics. Herein, with a focus on optimizing the adsorption and activation of reaction molecules, a CoN-WN heterostructure catalyst is constructed for efficient HMFOR.

Urea electrolysis holds tremendous promise to remediate urea-containing wastewater and produce cost-effective hydrogen. Achieving highly efficient and durable electrocatalysts to drive the anodic urea oxidation reaction (UOR) is paramount to promote its practical applications. Herein, electroless deposition, a scalable, cost-effective, and energy-saving approach, is used to obtain amorphous Ni-Co-P nanoparticles.
