Vanadium-Substituted Polyoxometalates Regulate Prion Protein Fragment 106–126 Misfolding by an Oxidation Strategy
Prion disorders are a group of lethal
infectious neurodegenerative
diseases caused by the spontaneous aggregation of misfolded prion
proteins (PrPSc). The oxidation of such proteins by chemical
reagents can significantly modulate their aggregation behavior. Herein,
we exploit a series of vanadium-substituted Keggin-type tungsten and
molybdenum POMs (W- and Mo-POMs) as chemical tools to oxidize PrP106–126
(denoted as PrP), an ideal model for studying PrPSc. Due
to the band gaps being larger than that of Mo-POMs, W-POMs possess
higher structural stability and show stronger binding and oxidation
effect on PrP. Additionally, the substitution of W/Mo by vanadium
elevates the local electron distribution on the bridged O(26) atom,
thereby strengthening the hydrogen bonding of POMs with the histidine
site. Most importantly, with the number of substituted vanadium increases,
the LUMO energy level of POMs decreases, making it easier to accept
electrons from methionine. As a result, PW10V2 displays the strongest oxidation on the methionine residue of PrP,
leading to an excellent inhibitory effect on PrP aggregation and a
significant attenuation on its neurotoxicity
Atomic Modulation of Single Dispersed Ir Species on Self-Supported NiFe Layered Double Hydroxides for Efficient Electrocatalytic Overall Water Splitting
Electrocatalytic
overall water splitting is a promising approach
for hydrogen production, and the rational design of the catalyst on
the atomic level is critical for decreasing the energy barrier in
both hydrogen and oxygen evolution reactions (HER/OER). Herein, we
report an NiIr single atom alloy loaded NiFe-LDH (NiIrSAA-NiFe-LDH) and Ir single atom loaded NiFe-LDH (IrSAC-NiFe-LDH)
for overall water splitting. The Ir single atoms are found via EXAFS
fitting and DFT calculations to be located on the top of Fe3+ with Ir–O6 coordination on IrSAC-NiFe-LDH.
The as-prepared NiIrSAA-NiFe-LDH presents an overpotential
of 28.5 mV at 10 mA cm–2 in the HER and IrSAC-NiFe-LDH exhibits an overpotential of 194 mV at 10 mA cm–2 in the OER, respectively. Moreover, the electrolyzer
assembled by NiIrSAA-NiFe-LDH and IrSAC-NiFe-LDH
presents a low cell voltage of 1.49 V at 10 mA cm–2 and a long-term stability of over 120 h at 200 mA cm–2 in overall water splitting with an estimated cost of US $1.12 per
kilogram of H2, meeting the target raised by the US Department
of Energy (H2–1). Such high HER activity for NiIrSAA-NiFe-LDH can be
attributed to the strong electronic interaction between Ni and Ir
single atoms in NiIrSAA, resulting in an optimized hydrogen
adsorption energy (ΔGH* = −0.17
eV). And the Ir single atoms modify the electronic structures of the
adjacent Ni2+ in NiFe-LDH, which reduces the energy barrier
of the O2 emission, thus enhancing the OER performance

Single Carbon Vacancy Traps Atomic Platinum for Hydrogen Evolution Catalysis
The
coordinated configuration of atomic platinum (Pt) has always
been identified as an active site with high intrinsic activity for
hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Herein, we purposely synthesize
single vacancies in a carbon matrix (defective graphene) that can
trap atomic Pt to form the Pt–C3 configuration,
which gives exceptionally high reactivity for HER in both acidic and
alkaline solutions. The intrinsic activity of Pt–C3 site is valued with a turnover frequency (TOF) of 26.41 s–1 and mass activity of 26.05 A g–1 at 100 mV, respectively,
which are both nearly 18 times higher than those of commercial 20
wt % Pt/C. It is revealed that the optimal coordination Pt–C3 has a stronger electron-capture ability and lower Gibbs free
energy difference (ΔG), resulting in promoting
the reduction of adsorbed H+ and the acceleration of H2 desorption, thus exhibiting the extraordinary HER activity.
This work provides a new insight on the unique coordinated configuration
of dispersive atomic Pt in defective C matrix for superior HER performance
