Article Abstract
Chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST) MRI has generated great interest for molecular imaging applications because it can image low-concentration solute molecules in vivo with enhanced sensitivity. CEST effects are detected indirectly through a reduction in the bulk water signal after repeated perturbation of the solute proton magnetization using one or more radiofrequency (RF) irradiation pulses. The parameters used for these RF pulses-frequency offset, duration, shape, strength, phase, and interpulse spacing-determine molecular specificity and detection sensitivity, thus their judicious selection is critical for successful CEST MRI scans. This review article describes the effects of applying RF pulses on spin systems and compares conventional saturation-based RF labeling with more recent excitation-based approaches that provide spectral editing capabilities for selectively detecting molecules of interest and obtaining maximal contrast.

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.

The coexistence of antibiotics (AB) and microplastics (MP) in the environment has led to the formation of AB-MP complexes, posing several ecological and public health challenges. This review explores the mechanisms driving AB adsorption onto MPs, including diverse interactions (hydrophobic interactions, hydrogen bonding, π-π stacking, and ionic exchange) and their role in maintaining the persistence and mobility of the complexes. These complexes have been reported to serve as reservoirs/vectors for antimicrobial resistance (AMR), disrupt microbial communities, and enhance the bioavailability of ABs, thus posing various threats affecting biodiversity health and ecosystem stability.

Enhancing anodic hydroxyl (OH) coverage and suppressing leaching of active metal sites are essential for developing efficient and durable alkaline oxygen evolution reaction (OER) electrocatalysts. Herein, we propose amorphous cerium oxide (CeO)-mediated amorphous/crystalline heterointerface engineering to enhance OH coverage and leaching resistance in CeO/Mo-NiS for high-performance OER. CeO with an oxyphilic surface facilitates OH adsorption, promoting in situ reconstruction of NiS into nickel hydroxyl oxide (NiOOH) with significantly enhanced OH coverage and thereby accelerating OER kinetics.

The coastal mixing zone between seawater and freshwater is a critical interface for the exchange and transformation of contaminants. Despite its significance, the influence of seawater intrusion angle on contaminant transport has been largely overlooked. In this study, we combine laboratory column experiments with reactive transport modeling to investigate how varying seawater intrusion angles affect chromium (Cr) migration, particularly in colloid-facilitated forms.
