Article Abstract
This study emphasizes the effect of CeO on the Pt nanoparticle (NP) dimension, stability, and activity versus the oxygen reduction reaction. It is demonstrated that the one-pot synthesis of Pt NPs along with CeO NPs over carbon support produces small Pt NPs (2 nm) with higher activity, than the sole Pt NPs, thanks to the cooperative interaction exerted by CeO. This is nicely demonstrated by using synchrotron wide-angle X-ray total scattering and advanced data analysis, monitoring the in situ nucleation and growth of Pt NPs in the presence of preformed CeO NPs or of a Ce precursor. Raman, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy analyses are carried out to support the formation of oxygen vacancies responsible for the metal-support interaction. Moreover, the most effective catalyst, PtCeO/C250 (mass activity: MA = 423 Ag; specific activity: SA = 446 µAcm), exhibits activity comparable to the commercial benchmark Pt/C, yet significantly greater stability as demonstrated by accelerated stress tests conducted on gas diffusion electrode. Specifically, PtCeO/C250 retains 62% ± 7% of its MA and 79% ± 9% of its SA, compared to 43% ± 5% and 62% ± 7%, respectively, for the benchmark.

Magnetic-field enhancement of the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) represents a promising route toward more efficient alkaline water electrolyzers, yet its origin remains debated due to overlapping effects of mass transport and reaction kinetics. Here, we present a general experimental strategy that employs strong forced convection to suppress uncontrolled transport arising from natural diffusion and magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flows. Using polycrystalline Au electrodes, we show that this approach resolves subtle OER variations under controlled flow and field conditions.

Background: Benzene, a ubiquitous industrial chemical, is a well-established environmental toxin associated with hematological disorders such as myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML), which are characterized by impaired hematopoiesis and bone marrow failure. This study investigates the role of ferroptosis, an iron-dependent form of cell death, in benzene-induced hematotoxicity, focusing on the repression of glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4), a critical regulator of ferroptosis.
Materials And Methods: Male C57BL/6 mice were exposed to benzene at various doses over six weeks.

Histomonas meleagridis is a parasitic protozoan which causes histomoniasis (blackhead disease) in a wide range of birds, including domesticated chickens and turkeys, representing a significant health problem in avian veterinary medicine. Despite being classified as an anaerobic parasite, H. meleagridis can survive transient exposure to oxygen while little is known about the mechanisms that allow this organism to cope with exposure to varying oxygen levels.

Developing single-atom catalysts (SACs) with dense active sites and universal synthesis strategies remains a critical challenge. Herein, we present a scalable and universal strategy to synthesize high-density transition metal single-atom sites, anchored in nitrogen-doped porous carbon (M-SA@NC, M = Fe, Co, Ni) and investigate their oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) catalytic activity for flexible Zn-air batteries (ZABs). Using a facile coordination-pyrolysis strategy, atomically dispersed M-N sites with high metal loading are achieved.
