Article Abstract
A coupled oxygen evolution mechanism (COM) during oxygen evolution reaction (OER) has been reported in nickel oxyhydroxides (NiOOH)-based materials by realizing e band (3d electron states with e symmetry) broadening and light irradiation. However, the link between the e band broadening extent and COM-based OER activities remains unclear. Here, NiFeOOH (x = 0, 0.05, 0,2) are prepared to investigate the underlying mechanism governing COM-based activities. It is revealed that in low potential region, realizing stronger e band broadening could facilitate the OH deprotonation. Meanwhile, in high potential region where the photon utilization is the rate-determining step, a stronger e band broadening would widen the non-overlapping region between d and a orbitals, thereby enhancing photon utilization efficiency. Consequently, a stronger e band broadening could effectuate more efficient OER activities. Moreover, we demonstrate the universality of this concept by extending it to reconstruction-derived X-NiOOH (X = NiS, NiSe, NiP) with varying extent of e band broadening. Such an understanding of the COM would provide valuable guidance for the future development of highly efficient OER electrocatalysts.

Achieving a crack-free, high-surface-area photoanode is essential for maximizing the efficiency of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). In this work, rutile titanium dioxide (rTiO) nanoflowers were synthesized hydrothermally and then conformally coated with copper(I) oxide (CuO) by RF magnetron sputtering to seal pre-existing cracks and to create a nanothorn surface favorable for dye adsorption. Systematic control of the sputtering time identified 60 min as optimal condition, yielding a photoanode thickness of about 6.

Electric gating in atomically thin field-effect devices based on transition-metal dichalcogenides has recently been employed to manipulate their excitonic states, even producing exotic phases of matter, such as an excitonic insulator or Bose-Einstein condensate. Here, we mimic the electric gating effect of a bilayer-MoS on graphite by charge transfer induced by the adsorption of molecular p- and n-type dopants. The electric fields produced are evaluated from the electronic energy-level realignment and Stark splitting determined by X-ray and UV photoelectron spectroscopy measurements and compare very well with literature values obtained by optical spectroscopy for similar systems.

Herein, CuBiO microspheres were first deposited on TiO nanotube arrays to develop a p-n CuBiO/TiO heterojunction by a facile hydrothermal protocol. The variations in the photoinduced open-circuit potential, photocurrent, and electrochemical parameters of the nickel-plated magnesium alloy (Mg/Ni) demonstrated the remarkably strengthened photoelectrochemical efficiency and photocathodic protection (PCP) capability caused by the CuBiO modification. This enhancement is attributed to establishing a built-in electric field and intensified light absorption in a broadened wavelength spectrum, confirmed by the valence band XPS and ultraviolet-visible spectra.

Zero and ultralow-field nuclear magnetic resonance (ZULF NMR) is an NMR modality where experiments are performed in fields at which spin-spin interactions within molecules and materials are stronger than Zeeman interactions. This typically occurs at external fields of microtesla strength or below, considerably smaller than Earth's field. In ZULF NMR, the measurement of spin-spin couplings and spin relaxation rates provides a nondestructive means for identifying chemicals and chemical fragments, and for conducting sample or process analyses.

However， conventional methods such as immunofixation electrophoresis （IFE） and western blotting （WB） suffer from complex workflows， time-consuming operations， and limited quantification capabilities owing to intricate staining and de-staining procedures. In addition， these traditional immunological detection methods require extensive manual handling and specialized expertise， while low levels of automation restrict their applicability to high-throughput or large-scale analysis scenarios.
