Electrochemical Stability of Stainless Steels-Made Alkaline Water Electrolysi...Tohoku University
Developing highly active and durable electrocatalysts for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) have been needed for efficient hydrogen production by alkaline water electrolysis (AWE). Austenitic stainless steels (SS) have attracted attentions as the alternative anode materials to Ni-based electrodes (1, 2). We recently demonstrated that NiFe hydroxide/oxide hetero nanostructures that synthesized through the constant current density electrolysis of 316SS (NiFe-HyOx/SS) show high OER activity and stability under constant current operation conditions (3). However, the electrochemical stability and OER overpotentials of the surface catalyst layers generated on the stainless steel under potential fluctuation is still not clear. In this study, we investigated changes in OER overpotentials of the NiFe-HyOx/SS anode during applying potential cycles (PCs) of 0.5 and 1.8 V vs. reversible hydrogen electrode (RHE) and discussed the structural changes.

The document summarizes the Wittig reaction used to synthesize β-carotene. The aldehyde used is retinal and the symmetrical diylide containing two equivalents of phosphorus that produces 6 stereoisomers is (E,E,E)-1,3,5-trimethyl-1,3,5-hexatriene ylide.
The document describes an organic chemistry synthesis question that asks students to suggest reagents and conditions to synthesize an imine derivative from a starting material and identify all intermediate compounds. It explains that aldehydes and ketones react with primary amines in acidic solution to form imines. As an example, propanal reacts with methylamine to form N-methyl-1-propanimine. The proposed solution involves examining the starting material and product functional groups, looking at an example reaction given, and constructing a synthetic pathway showing the reagents, conditions, and intermediate compounds.
This document discusses the hydrolysis of 2-bromopropane. It finds the reaction exhibits both first-order and second-order kinetics, indicating contributions from SN1 and SN2 pathways. The percentage of the reaction proceeding by the SN2 pathway increases with higher hydroxide ion concentration and the activation energy is lower for SN2 than SN1, showing SN2 is favored. Two possible organic byproducts are an alkene from elimination and another alcohol from further reaction of the main product.
This document contains an example chemistry question from an exam with multiple parts asking about reaction rates and mechanisms. It provides sample solutions for: (1) writing rate equations and explaining how temperature affects reaction rate; (2) calculating time for a reaction to reach a concentration using half-life; (3) explaining how changing concentrations affects rate; (4) drawing an enthalpy profile diagram for a reaction mechanism; (5) explaining observations of precipitation reactions; and (6) describing chemical tests to distinguish between compounds involving addition of reagents and observation of results. Diagrams and chemical equations are included as part of the responses.

This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.
