Summary: Hydrogen energy is considered important for low carbon energy and has wide application prospects. The production of hydrogen plays a crucial role in the hydrogen industry chain. The safe and stable acquisition of hydrogen remains a pressing issue, particularly for temporary or portable usage scenarios, due to inadequate infrastructure. This paper systematically investigates the research progress of hydrolytic hydrogen production materials in the past 15 years, categorizing them into four systems based on hydrolysis characteristics. The advantages, disadvantages, and technical bottlenecks of different materials are thoroughly analyzed, and promising candidates are identified for industrialization feasibility and cost-effectiveness.

Summary: Since the fusion of Fenton chemistry and nanomedicine into cancer therapy, significant progress has been made in the field of chemodynamic therapy (CDT). However, the exact mechanism of CDT is obscured by the unique tumor chemical environment and inevitable nanoparticle-cell interactions, hindering further development. This Scientific Perspective clarifies the significance of CDT, deconstructs the complex mechanism into primitive chemical and biological interactions, and discusses in detail the research directions based on chemical kinetics and biological signaling pathways. Moreover, beneficial outlooks are presented to advance the evolution of next-generation CDT. Hopefully, this Scientific Perspective can inspire new ideas and advances for CDT and provide a reference for breaking down interdisciplinary barriers in the field of nanomedicine.

Summary: This article presents a novel power electronic control system for applying mechanical loading to an energy-removing exoskeleton, which efficiently controls the timing and intensity of walking to reduce metabolic cost. The system accurately estimates the state of the exoskeleton and user's lower limbs, allowing it to apply the desired knee flexion moment during the terminal swing phase. Through evaluation and testing, the system demonstrates high accuracy and precision in identifying stride period, ground contact timing, and device moment arm.
