Article Abstract
In this article, we explore the impact of chloro (-Cl), methyl (-Me), and methoxy (-OMe) functional groups at the meso-position of copper-derived tetraphenylporphyrin (CuTPP) on water-splitting half-reactions. The nature of meso-substituents significantly alters the electron density of the central Cu atom and also influences the electron density in the porphyrin ring backbone. Cyclic voltammetry (CV) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) were employed to analyze the electron density in the substituted porphyrin system. The observed electron density dynamics correlate with variations in catalytic hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) performance in an alkaline medium. For HER, we observe overpotentials of 505, 608, 698, and 730 mV for CuTMeOPP, CuTMePP, CuTPP, and CuTClPP, respectively (for a standard current density of 10 mA cm). Conversely, for the OER, the overpotentials are 800, 1025, 1105, and 1168 mV for CuTClPP, CuTPP, CuTMePP, and CuTMeOPP, respectively. The substituents' electronic effects on the central Cu atom drive these performance shifts, demonstrating opposite trends for the HER and the OER.

High-density mirror twin boundaries (MTBs) embedded in two-dimensional (2D) transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) have emerged as fascinating platforms for exploring charge density wave and Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid-related issues. However, the reversible manipulation of high-density MTBs in 2D TMDCs remains challenging. Herein, we report the first fabrication of high-density MTB loops in ultrathin 1T-NiTe on the SrTiO(001) substrate, by postannealing as-grown 1T-NiTe under Te-deficient conditions.

In the search for novel succinate dehydrogenase inhibitors (SDHIs) fungicides for managing rice sheath blight (RSB) and sclerotinia stem rot (SSR), 28 pyrazole-4-carboxamides incorporating stilbene or diphenylacetylene scaffolds were synthesized and evaluated for antifungal activities. The results showed that compound exhibited the most promising antifungal efficacy against and with EC (half maximal effective concentration) values of 0.004 and 0.

Cardiolipins (CLs) are primarily expressed in the inner mitochondrial membrane where they play essential roles in membrane architecture and mitochondrial functions. CLs have a unique structure characterized by four acyl chains with different stoichiometries such as chain length and degree of saturation. CL composition changes with disease and age, but it is largely unknown how dynamic changes affect mitochondrial function.

Transition metal fluorides because of the high electronegativity of fluorine may enhance the local electron density of the metal sites and promote water molecule dissociation and charge transfer. However, enhancing the intrinsic activity of fluorides to improve material stability remains a challenge. Herein, we develop an innovative four-step synthetic strategy (electrochemical deposition → co-precipitation → ligand exchange → in situ fluorination) to engineer three-dimensional porous Fe-doped CoF nanocubes vertically anchored on MXene (Fe-CoF/MXene/NF).

The utilization of synergistic multivalent active sites holds potential in addressing the inherent sluggish kinetics of electrocatalytic reactions. Herein, we prepared au uNPs/Ni-NDC (NDC = 1,4-Naphthalenedicarboxylic acid) and leveraged the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) effect to drive hot electron transfer from au nanoparticles to the Ni substrate, thereby generating multivalent active sites to boost the urea oxidation reaction (UOR). Under exciting light, au uNPs/Ni-NDC exhibited a twofold increase in UOR current accompanied by a significant negative shift in onset potential.
