Article Abstract

The scaling relationship among reaction intermediates with strongly correlated adsorption energy in the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) severely restricts the energy-conversion efficiency of water electrolysis. For the conventional adsorbate evolution mechanism, breaking the scaling relationship remains challenging, as it is difficult to modulate the adsorption of multiple intermediates on a specific active site simultaneously. Herein, we utilize the electron buffering effect of a two-dimensional fullerene network (CNET) to dynamically tune the electronic structure of the iridium (Ir) active site with the change of adsorbed intermediates, which can tailor the adsorption strength of intermediates from multistep reactions and break the adsorption-energy scaling relationships among *OOH, *O, and *OH. The CNET-buffered Ir nanocluster catalyst exhibits excellent OER activity with a low overpotential of 237 mV and stability over 600 h at 10 mA cm, outperforming graphene-supported Ir nanoclusters and commercial IrO, attributed to the breaking of the linear scaling relationship enabled by the unique ability to reversibly accept and donate electrons of CNET.

Perceived stress and compulsive buying among Saudi adults: the mediation role of rumination.

BMC Psychol

September 2025

Department of Psychology, Faculty of Arts and Humanities, King Abdulaziz University, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.

Objectives/background: Prior studies have claimed that people engage in compulsive buying in an attempt to deal with stress. Nonetheless, not every stressed person engages in compulsive buying. It is therefore important to investigate the cognitive mechanisms underlying such behavior.

Beyond their classical functions as redox cofactors, recent fundamental and clinical research has expanded our understanding of the diverse roles of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP) in signaling pathways, epigenetic regulation and energy homeostasis. Moreover, NAD and NADP influence numerous diseases as well as the processes of aging, and are emerging as targets for clinical intervention. Here, we summarize safety, bioavailability and efficacy data from NAD-related clinical trials, focusing on aging and neurodegenerative diseases.

Bioconversion of CO to methane energy by Methanococcus maripaludis in newly-designed bioreactor system: Kinetic characteristics, parameter optimization and grid-quality production.

State Key Laboratory of Bioreactor Engineering and School of Chemistry and Molecular Engineering, East China University of Science and Technology, 130 Meilong Road, Shanghai 200237, PR China; Engineering Research Center of Microbial Enhanced Oil Recovery, East China University of Science and Technol

Carbon dioxide enhanced oil recovery (CO-EOR) is widely used for carbon capture, utilization, and storage in Chinese oilfields, but part of injected CO returns with produced oil, reducing carbon-reduction efficiency. Bioconverting this CO to methane energy by methanogens benefits the technology, yet on-site high-efficiency conversion meeting natural-gas grid standards remains challenging. This study used a newly-designed triple-tank bioreactor to investigate CO-to-methane conversion and methanogenic kinetics of Methanococcus maripaludis.

Background: The relationships between white matter microstructure, cortical atrophy, and cognitive function in cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD)-related white matter hyperintensities (WMHs) patients are unclear.

Methods: 71 right-handed WMHs patients (mild, n=23; moderate, n=27; severe, n=21) and 35 healthy controls were included. Tract-based spatial statistics (TBSS) assessed microstructure via fractional anisotropy (FA) and mean diffusivity (MD).

Aims: Examine the mediating roles of family conflict (FC) and diabetes self-management behaviors (SMB) in the relationship between behavioral self-control (BSC) and glycemic levels in adolescents with type 1 diabetes (T1D). We predicted that BSC would improve glycemic levels directly and indirectly by decreasing FC and increasing SMB, both cross-sectionally and longitudinally.

Methods: 172 adolescents (M age = 16 years) with T1D were followed for three years at three medical centers.
