1 Introduction The widespread use of fossil fuels has made for significant pollution and development challenges, drawing global interest.[1-3] According to the International Energy Agency, carbon dioxide emissions are expected to reach 35.7 Gt year−1 in 2040, due to global energy demand increasing by 30%.[4] A promising solution to this energy crisis and associated environmental pollution is hydrogen (H2), as it emits no carbon (C) compounds when combusted and has a high maximum energy...

AbstractDual active sites with synergistic valence state regulation under oxidizing and reducing conditions are essential for catalytic reactions with step-wise mechanisms to modulate the complex adsorption sites of reactant molecules on the surfaces of heterogeneous catalysts with maximized catalytic performances, but it has been rarely explored.

Evolution of SARS-CoV-2 requires the reassessment of current vaccine measures. Here, we characterized BA.2.86 and XBB-derived variant FLip by investigating their neutralization alongside D614G, BA.1, BA.2, BA.4/5, XBB.1.5, and EG.5.1 by sera from 3-dose-vaccinated and bivalent-vaccinated healthcare workers, XBB.1.5-wave-infected first responders, and monoclonal antibody (mAb) S309. We assessed the biology of the variant spikes by measuring viral infectivity and membrane fusogenicity.
