Toward a mechanistic understanding of electrocatalytic nanocarbon

Electrocatalytic nanocarbon (EN) is a class of material receiving intense interest as a potential replacement for expensive, metal-based electrocatalysts for energy conversion and chemical production applications. The further development of EN will require an intricate knowledge of its catalytic behaviors, however, the true nature of their electrocatalytic activity remains elusive. This review highlights work that contributed valuable knowledge in the elucidation of EN catalytic mechanisms. Experimental evidence from spectroscopic studies and well-defined molecular models, along with the survey of computational studies, is summarized to document our current mechanistic understanding of EN-catalyzed oxygen, carbon dioxide and nitrogen electrochemistry. We hope this review will inspire future development of synthetic methods and in situ spectroscopic tools to make and study well-defined EN structures

Caso para diagnóstico Case for diagnosis

Paciente do sexo feminino, 18 anos, apresentando única placa eritemato-descamativa, bem delimitada, na região abdominal com evolução de 1 ano e sem uso anterior de medicação. O histopatológico demonstrou infiltrado linfocítico com atipias acometendo principalmente derme superficial com epidermotrifismo e discreta espongiose. E a imunofenotipagem demonstrou predomínio de células CD3-positivo, confirmando o diagnóstico de Micose Fungóide.<br>An 18-year old female patient presented with a single, erythematous, desquamative plaque. The clearly outlined lesion was situated in the abdominal region. The patient reported that it had been present for the past year and that she had used no previous medication. Histopathology showed lymphocytic infiltration with atypia, principally affecting the superficial dermis with epidermotropism and mild spongiosis. Immunophenotyping revealed a predominance of CD3-positive cells, confirming the diagnosis of mycosis fungoides
