Boosting the Electrolysis of Monosaccharide-Based Streams in an Anion-Exchange Membrane Cell.

A systematic study on the electrochemical reforming of monosaccharides (fructose, glucose, and xylose) using Pt-based anodic electrocatalysts is here presented for the first time to completely optimize the anodic catalyst and electrolyzer operating conditions. First, the electro-oxidation of each molecule was studied using a monometallic (Pt) and two bimetallic (PtNi and PtCo) anodic electrocatalysts supported on graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs). Tests in a three-electrode cell showed superior electrochemical activity and durability of PtNi/GNPs, especially at potentials higher than 1.

Complications in medial meniscus suture: a cadaveric study.

The aim of this study was to examine the possibility of complications in medial meniscus repair using an inside-out suturing device. Anatomical cadaveric study. Six fresh frozen cadaveric lower limbs were used.
