The last CO insertion shows no free energy of activation resulting in the stable five member pCO ring, precursor to 1,4-epoxy-1,2,3-butanone. Hydrogenation reactions of the pCO have been considered on the SiO oxygen or on the carbons and oxygens of the pCO chains. The formation of the reactive aldehyde SiO-CHO on the siliceous surface is possible. In principle, the complete hydrogenation of the (CO)1-4 series results in the formation of methanol and polyols. Furthermore, all the SiO-pCO intermediates and the lactone 1,4-epoxy-1,2,3-butanone product in its radical form can be important building blocks in further polymerization reactions and/or open ring reactions with H (aldehydes, polyols) or CN (chetonitriles), resulting in highly reactive multi-functional compounds contributing to COM synthesis.Solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) is an advanced electricity generation device with attractive fuel flexibility and conversion efficiency. As its reversed process, solid oxide electrolysis cell (SOEC) can efficiently electrolyze notorious CO2 to valuable chemical product such as CO, by utilizing renewable energy. To achieve long-term operation, the development of catalytically active electrode materials in both SOFC/SOEC modes is highly desirable, yet still challenging. In this research, an A-site deficient perovskite oxide (lanthanum chromite) decorated with in-situ exsolved Ni-Co nano-alloy has been fabricated and applied as a potential fuel electrode for both SOFC/SOEC. The influences of A-site non-stoichiometry and B-site dopant concentration on structural properties and in-situ exsolution process have been elaborately studied from various aspects. Diverse characterizations collectively confirm that the existence of A-site deficiency helps the formation of oxygen vacancies and stimulates the exsolution of B-site cations. In addition, the synergistic effect between the dopants of Co and Ni manipulates the reducibility and promotes carbon deposition resistance of the material. The electrolyte-supported SOFC with self-assembled Ni-Co nano-alloy electrode has shown maximum power densities of 329 mW/cm2 (in H2) and 258 mW/cm2 (in syngas, H2 + CO) at 850 °C, which are 50% better than those of the fuel cell with the exsolved Ni nanoparticles only. Also, the nano-alloy decorated electrode catalyst promotes a 30% increase in SOEC performance for CO2 electrolysis with prominently enhanced resistance against carbon deposition, suggesting the versatile functionality of the materials.Ni-ceria cermets are potential anodes for intermediate-temperature solid oxide fuel cells, thanks to the catalytic activity and mixed conductivities of ceria-based materials associated with the variable valence states of cerium. However, the anodic reaction mechanism in the Ni-ceria systems needs to be further revealed. Via density functional theory with strong correlated correction method, this work gains insight into reaction pathways of hydrogen oxidation on a model system of Ni10-CeO2(111). The calculation shows that electrons tend to be transferred from Ni10 cluster to cerium surface, creating surface oxygen vacancies. Six pathways are proposed considering different adsorption sites, and the interface pathway proceeding with hydrogen spillover is found to be the prevailing process, which includes a high adsorption energy of -1.859 eV and an energy barrier of 0.885 eV. find more The density functional theory (DFT) calculation results are verified through experimental measurements including electrical conductivity relaxation and temperature programmed desorption. The contribution of interface reaction to the total hydrogen oxidation reaction reaches up to 98%, and the formation of Ni-ceria interface by infiltrating Ni to porous ceria improves the electrochemical activity by 72% at 800°C.COVID-19 has triggered various changes in our everyday lives and how we conceptualize the functions of governments. Some areas require stricter forms of regulation while others call for deregulation. The challenge for the regulatory authorities is to manage these potentially conflicting demands in regulation and define coherently their overall regulatory rationale. The precision regulation approach can be a helpful approach. It is defined here as a streamlined approach to regulation to deliver the right methods of regulation for the right group of people at the right time. This problem-solving innovation in regulation triggered by the recent epidemiologic crisis in South Korea demonstrates the emergence of the precision regulation approach. South Korea has implemented streamlined fast-track services for the biotechnology industry to produce test kits swiftly. This article expands the definition of precision regulation from AI regulation literature, and positions the term as a new regulatory rationale, not as a regulatory tool, using the case study from South Korea.Bisphenol A (BPA) is an endocrine disruptor (ED) frequently used in food packaging. BPA is used as a monomer in the manufacture of some food packaging. This study aimed to evaluate the urinary BPA concentration in an Italian pediatric cohort, testing the levels of this ED over a period of 6 months, evaluating the effects of a diet regimen with a reduction of Plastic Food Packaging (PFP). One hundred thirty Italian children were enrolled and divided into two groups "School Canteen" and "No School Canteen." The first group consumed one meal at school using a plastic-free service for 5 days/weeks, while the other group did not modify their normal meal-time habits. The BPA levels were tested in urine samples at three time points T0, is the time before the application of the plastic-free regimen diet; T3, 3 months later; and T6, 6 months later. A reduction of urine BPA levels was detected in the "School Canteen" group. In particular, the reduction was significant analyzing both the intra (among the three testing times) group and inter (between "School Canteen" and "No School Canteen") group variability. Our results show the effects of a diet regimen with a reduction of PFP, demonstrating a connection between urinary BPA levels and food packaging.
