Carrion ecology: concepts, interdisciplinary synthesis, and perspectives

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Carrion is a ubiquitous resource in both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, yet it has long been overlooked in ecological research. Over the past two decades, studies on carrion and the many organisms that exploit it have flourished, revealing not only wide‐ranging ecological functions but also significance far beyond ecology.

Unveiling Synergistic CuAuAg Nanoparticles on CuO for High‐Yield CO2 Electroreduction

Carbon Energy, EarlyView.
Pulsed laser irradiation in liquid synthesis was employed to fabricate a trimetallic catalyst composed of CuAuAg nanoparticles uniformly decorated on CuO nanosheets (CuAuAg/CuO composite). This catalyst exhibits remarkable electrocatalytic performance for the reduction of CO2 to CO, achieving a high CO yield rate of 5.1 mmol h−1 cm−2 and a Faradaic ...
