Oxygen and chlorine generation without precious metals: Electrode potential changes the MXene surface
Credit: Journal of the American Chemical Society (2024). DOI: 10.1021/jacs.4c08518 MXene is a type of two-dimensional material discovered in 2011. Previous theoretical studies predicted that MXene has no catalytic activity in anodic processes. Researchers led by Professor Kai S. Exner, head of the Department of Theoretical Catalysis and Electrochemistry at the University of Duisburg-Essen (UDE), used multiscale modeling to disprove…

New nanocatalyst targets tumors without oxygen
Structure and biological mechanism of action of NP4 on tumor-targeted glutathione (GSH) oxidation catalyst in hypoxic osteosarcoma tumors. Credit: Nature Communications (2024). DOI: 10.1038/s41467-024-53646-y Tumors often contain areas of oxygen-deficient tissue that do not tolerate conventional treatments. This is because drugs applied to tumors require oxygen to be effective. An international research team has developed a new mechanism of action…
