MOF-derived N-doped CoNi@C as bifunctional catalysts for efficient water splitting

Catal. Sci. Technol., 2024, Advance Article
DOI: 10.1039/D4CY00924J, Paper
Xihui Yang, Zekun Li, Zikun Yang, Dapeng Meng, Zhao Wang
CoNi@C core–shell catalysts from ZIF-67 were synthesized for efficient water splitting. The hydrophilic carbon shell inhibits metal oxidation. The CoNi alloy serves as the active site, while nitrogen doping promotes the electrocatalytic performance.

Do Marketers Really Need RSS?

The recent Forrester Research study, which claims that only 2% of online households in North America use RSS, took the internet marketing world by storm. Does this data really mean that marketers can still afford to ignore this channel?

Soon after the Forrrester study became public, I received a press enquiery asking whether marketers should be interested in RSS now that so few online adults use it.

Is this the correct question to ask? Let’s take a look at the bigger picture …

RSS Does Not Equal Blogs

Many assume that RSS is only for syndicating the contents of blogs, nothing could be further from the truth. Blogs and online journals have rocketed to popularity in the last few years, and many bloggers use RSS as a means to distribute and syndicate their blog posts. Subscribers receive information each time the blog is updated. However this is NOT the only use for RSS. RSS can deliver any kind of content, including forum posts, discount coupons, newsletters or press releases. Blogs are just one type of information syndicated by RSS feeds.

Blogs may be syndicated using RSS, but do not assume that content found in an RSS feed is from a blog.
