Long-term stability challenges and opportunities in acidic oxygen evolution electrocatalysis by Wang, Qilun, Cheng, Yaqi, Tao, Hua Bing, Liu, Yuhang, Ma, Xuehu, Li, Dong-Sheng, Yang, Hong Bin, Liu, Bin

“…In this review, critical factors that may lead to catalyst's instability in couple with potential solutions are comprehensively discussed, including mechanical peeling, substrate corrosion, active-site over-oxidation/dissolution, reconstruction, oxide crystal structure collapse through the lattice oxygen-participated reaction pathway, etc. Last but not least, personal prospects are provided in terms of rigorous stability evaluation criteria, in situ/operando characterizations, economic feasibility and practical electrolyzer consideration, highlighting the ternary relationship of structure evolution, industrial-relevant activity and stability to serve as a roadmap towards the ultimate application of PEMWE.…”

Hierarchical approach to study water cluster in first-principles calculations by Nguyen, Quoc Chinh

“…In addition, the effects of zero-point energy correction on the relative stabilities, thermodynamic properties and vibrational spectra of each system were discussed throughout the studies. Last but not least, we reported the details on the development of the potential models for protonated hydrogen fluoride and deprotonated water clusters in order to extend the current work to other molecular systems and also to improve the efficiency of the hierarchical approach for our future studies.…”

Boronic acid and nitrofuranyl derivatives as potential therapeutics by Dey, AL

“…However, the desired NInC proved unstable and the studies on ester hydrolysis of these novel NInCs suggest that a suitable ester prodrug of these potential drug conjugates may be promising in a clinical setting. Last but not least, it is hoped that a handful of these potentially novel therapeutics could further be developed into leads or drug candidates either in Oxford or elsewhere in an attempt to tackle the ever-increasing antibacterial resistance. …”
