A simple and repeatable strategy has been developed via the use of the cheap, simple small organic molecule urea as a reducing agent. We confirm that N doping can induce a disordered surface lattice and increase the number of proton adsorption sites with a relatively weak binding force. Owing to the cooperative effects of surface N doping, disordered surface distortion and the intrinsic nature of MoO₂, high HER activity can be achieved, with an overpotential of η = 96 mV vs. RHE at a current density of −10 mA cm−2 and a Tafel slope of 33 mV per decade. Moreover, we further extended the synthesis method to Ni and Co systems with the formation of N–NiO/Ni and N–CoO/Co core–shell structures, which exhibited enhanced HER performance in comparison with bare MO/M (M = metal) samples. This study can help us design new earth-abundant electrocatalysts with further enhancements in catalytic performance.]]> Tue 19 May 2020 13:15:39 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:18986 20% occurred in only one subject with AECOPD who was in GOLD category III. The decrease in percentage of FEV1 from baseline was greatest in the second stage of induction, and correlated with that of the final stage (r = 0.589; P = 0.01). The fall in FEV1 during induction increased with GOLD category (P < 0.05). Conclusions:  SI can be safely and successfully performed in patients with moderate to very severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease who experience an exacerbation using this modified induction protocol. The early decrease in FEV1 can be used to predict the maximum fall.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:58:51 AEDT ]]>
