Article Abstract
Oxygen vacancies can regulate the coordination structure and electronic states of atoms, thus promoting the formation of surface-active sites and increasing the conductivity of the electrode material. This work presents a design for MXene@Ce-MOF composites with abundant oxygen vacancies. The hydroxyl groups on the surface of monolayer MXene attract cerium ions, which create surface defects in Ce-MOF and further promote the formation of oxygen vacancies. This results in a significant improvement in energy storage capacity, as well as performance in oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). The MXene@Ce-MOF composite exhibits a specific capacity of 496 F g, which is 1.8 times higher than that of pure Ce-MOF and 3.5 times higher than MXene alone. At a current density of 10 mA cm, the overpotential for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) is as low as 270 and 220 mV, respectively, and the composite exhibits excellent cycling stability. Oxygen vacancy-based MOF composites play a crucial role in electrocatalysis and energy conversion.

Isotope-dependent Tafel analysis probes proton transfer kinetics during electrocatalytic water splitting.

Proton transfer plays an important role in both hydrogen and oxygen evolution reactions during electrocatalytic water splitting to produce green hydrogen. However, directly adapting the conventional proton/deuterium kinetic isotope effect to study proton transfer in heterogeneous electrocatalytic processes is challenging. Here we propose using the shift in the Tafel slope between protic and deuteric electrolytes, or the Tafel slope isotope effect, as an effective probe of proton transfer characteristics.

Human communication is remarkable for its flexibility, a trait largely reflected in its multimodal nature and shared to some extent with nonhuman primates. Although individual differences in social behaviour are known to have evolutionary implications, their role in shaping primate communication remains largely unexplored. This study adopts a multimodal framework to partition variation in chimpanzees' use of multicomponent and multisensory communicative strategies into socio-environmental, between-individual, and within-individual sources.

The oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in conventional zinc-air batteries (ZABs) involves a complex multielectron transfer process, leading to slow reaction kinetics, high charging voltage, and low energy efficiency. To address these limitations, a zinc-ethanol/air battery (ZEAB) system that strategically replaces the OER with the ethanol oxidation reaction (EOR) possessing a lower thermodynamic potential has been proposed. Herein, a bimetallic catalyst CuCo-embedded nitrogen-doped carbon (CuCo-20%-1), derived from a Cu/Co/Cd co-coordinated metal-organic precursor, is synthesized and exhibits an excellent performance for both EOR and ORR.

The PR10 (Pathogenesis-Related Protein 10) family plays a crucial role in plant defense and growth regulation, with unique hydrophobic cavities that bind various ligands, including phytohormones and alkaloids. Among them, Norcoclaurine Synthases (NCS) are key enzymes in benzylisoquinoline alkaloid (BIAs) biosynthesis, catalyzing the Pictet-Spengler reaction to form the precursor (S)-norcoclaurine. However, the evolutionary origins and functions of the PR10 family in BIA biosynthesis remain unclear.

The safe disposal of heavy metal elements (Pb, Zn, Cu, etc.) in copper smelting slag and efficient treatment of phosphogypsum are urgent. To explore the feasibility of co-processing copper smelting slag and phosphogypsum, this study used PbO and CaSO as raw materials to investigate the sulfidation roasting process and flotation separation of roasted products.
