Article Abstract
Electrification of the chemical industry has been considered an enabler for energy transition on a massive scale. In this context, carbon monoxide electroreduction (COR) to produce multi-carbon (C ) products is considered one of the forefront emerging technologies. The key challenge in COR comes from the excessive cation crossover to the cathode via electromigration and water diffusion, which limits CO availability and impedes product selectivity. Commercial anion exchange membrane (AEM) suppresses the electromigration of cations, however, suffers from water diffusion which facilitates cation crossover. Here, we tackled these problems emerging from cation crossover and water diffusion by directly depositing an ultrathin Nafion ionomer on the cathode (sputtered Cu) surface. Our approach enables full-cell energy efficiency of 21 % for converting CO into ethylene (C H ) at 100 mA/cm with over 200 hours of stable operation. We also exhibited record high energy efficiency for ethanol (C H OH) production with CO-to-C H OH electrolysis efficiency of 17 %. This approach to directly depositing ultrathin ionomer on the cathode to enhance system performance may benefit other electrochemical systems to overcome challenges associated with scalability, stability, and efficiency to produce high-value chemicals.

Bipolar membranes (BPMs) are increasingly recognized as a promising electrolyte option for water electrolysis, attributable to their distinctive properties derived from the membrane's layered structure, which consists of an anion exchange (AEL) and a cation exchange layer (CEL). This study investigates four different BPMs and the influence they have on the performance of a water electrolysis cell under two different feed configurations: (1) a symmetric deionized water feed to both anode and cathode compartments and (2) an asymmetric feed with a 0.5 mol/L NaCl catholyte feed and a deionized water anolyte feed.

The synthesis of multifunctional materials that exhibit two or more distinct physicochemical properties is critical for the development of advanced smart materials. To date, the research regarding the near-infrared II (NIR-II) photothermal properties of spin crossover (SCO) materials remains scarce. Here, we synthesized an inverse-Hofmann-type cationic framework, [Fe{Ag(CN)}(TTF(py))] (1, TTF(py) = tetra(4-pyridyl)tetrathiafulvalene), which exhibits hysteretic SCO behavior.

This study explores the influence of Nd doping on the magnetic and vibrational properties of LaCrO3, with a focus on exchange bias (EB) behavior and the temperature-dependent evolution of Raman spectra. The doping introduces mixed valences, with the coexistence of 〖 Nd〗^(2+)and Nd^(3+) as well as〖 Cr〗^(3+) and Cr^(4+). The exchange bias (EB) phenomenon is observed in the doped samples and shows a significant increase with higher doping levels.

Photocatalyzed difunctionalization of alkenes via radical-polar crossover (RPC) has been significantly advanced. -Alkoxyphthalimides (NHPIs) have served as alkoxy radical precursors for alcohol synthesis. We report the first metal catalyst-free, three-component difunctionalization of alkenes employing NHPIs through selective remote 1,5-hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) and RPC.

Background: The transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily V1 (TRPV1) receptor is an important factor in pain transmission. The present Phase 2a study investigated the effect on evoked pain and safety of a topically administered TRPV1-antagonist (ACD440 Gel) in patients with chronic peripheral neuropathic pain (PNP).
Methods: This was an exploratory, randomized, placebo-controlled double-blind crossover study in patients with probable or definite PNP demonstrating sensory hypersensitivity, assessed as evoked pain on suprathreshold sensory stimulation, i.
