Dissolved organic matter (DOM), a ubiquitous ligand for heavy metals, plays a crucial role in regulating the bioavailability and fate of heavy metals in the environment. However, owing to complex structure and heterogeneity of DOM, it is still challenging to develop kinetics models to predict the rates of heavy metal reactions with DOM.
Herein, a hybrid nanowire-nanosheet structure made of the cerium oxide and nickel-cobalt phosphide (CeO2-NiCoPx) compound is in situ engineered on the Ni-Co foam (CeO2-NiCoPx/NCF) for the robust water splitting (HER and OER), and the overpotentials of synthesized CeO2-NiCoPx/NCF are about 39 mV for HER and 260 mV for OER at a current density of 10 mA cm2 (j10).
The hydrogen borrowing strategy is an economical method for the α-functionalization of ketones. While this strategy is extremely advantageous, it does not lend itself to the synthesis of β,β-disubstituted ketones. This can be achieved, if the in situ generated metal hydride can be intercepted with a nucleophilic coupling partner.
Turning the chemical state of in-situ converted oxyhydroxides is essential for the development of efficient oxygen evolution reaction (OER) catalyst. Herein, P-block element Bi is first introduced as a dopant to tune the in-situ reconstruction of Ni3S2 pre-catalyst towards enhanced OER activity.

The migration of nickel during redox cycling in solid oxide fuel cells induces the evolution of the electrode microstructure, degrading the electrochemical performance of the electrode and causing severe mechanical damage. Thus, it is necessary to understand the Ni migration phenomenon during redox cycling, with particular attention to the interior of the electrode.
Renewable generation of fuels using solar energy is a promising technology whose deployment hinges on the discovery of materials with a combination of durability and solar-to-chemical conversion efficiency that has yet to be demonstrated.
