Durability of NiFe-based oxygen evolution electrocatalysts in AEM water electrolyzer under fluctuating power supply.

NiFe-based materials are widely utilized as anode electrocatalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in anion exchange membrane water electrolyzers (AEMWE). However, their performance under actual fluctuating power supply remains poorly understood. In this study, the OER performance and degradation mechanisms of various NiFe-based OER catalysts are investigated in AEMWE under both constant and fluctuating voltage conditions.

We were to explore the effect of Bixie combined with perioperative multimodal analgesia management on postoperative pain and wound healing of mixed hemorrhoids. A total of 240 patients with mixed hemorrhoids in this hospital from June 2022 to September 2023 were chosen, with 120 in the control group receiving perioperative multimodal analgesia management and 120 in the observation group receiving Bixie combined with perioperative multimodal analgesia management. The results showed that compared with the control group, the observation group had lower visual analogue scale (VAS) scores at 1, 3, 5 and 7 days after the surgery; the 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT), prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), nitric oxide (NO), interleukin-2 (IL-2), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) of the observation group at 24 hours and 72 hours after the surgery were lower; the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) and wound healing rate of the observation group at 7 days after the surgery were higher; the total effective rate of the observation group was higher.

Feature matching based on local windows aggregation.

The core goal of feature matching is to establish correspondences between two images. Current methods without detectors achieve impressive results but often focus on global features, neglecting regions with subtle textures and resulting in fewer matches in areas with weak textures. This paper proposes a feature-matching method based on local window aggregation, which balances global features and local texture variations for more accurate matches, especially in weak-texture regions.

Robust optical multi-image encryption with lossless decryption Recovery Based on phase recombination and vector decomposition.

Image encryption is crucial for protecting image privacy and ensuring security. Encrypting large batches of images of different types and sizes simultaneously with losslessly decryption is often necessary. This paper proposes an optical asymmetric multi-image encryption algorithm to meet these demands.

Association between dietary branched-chain amino acids and multiple chronic conditions among older adults in Chinese communities.

Background: The association of BCAAs (isoleucine, leucine, and valine) with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases has been widely recognized by researchers, but there is limited evidence to support the relationship between BCAAs and multiple chronic conditions (MCCs) in older adults.

Background: Nanoplastics (NPs) are now a new class of pollutants widely present in the soil, atmosphere, freshwater and marine environments. Nanoplastics can rapidly penetrate cell membranes and accumulate in human tissues and organs, thus posing a potential threat to human health. The heart is the main power source of the body.

Three-dimensional ordered macroporous design of heterogeneous cobalt-iron phosphides as oxygen evolution electrocatalyst.

Oxygen evolution reaction (OER) plays a key role in electrochemical conversion, which needs efficient and economical electrocatalyst to boost its kinetics for large-scale application. Herein, a bimetallic CoP/FePheterostructure with a three-dimensional ordered macroporous structure (3DOM-CoP/FeP) was synthesized as an OER catalyst to demonstrate a heterogeneous engineering induction strategy. By adjusting the electron distribution and producing a lot of active sites, the heterogeneous interface enhances catalytic performance.

Incorporating charged Ag@MOFs to boost the antibacterial and filtration properties of porous electrospinning polylactide films.

Faced with the pollution caused by particulate matter (PM) in the air, the prevalence of infectious diseases, and the environmental burden by use of nondegradable polymers, the existing filter materials such as meltblown cloth of polypropylene cannot satisfactorily meet people's requirements.

Manipulating Redox Kinetics using p-n Heterojunction Biservice Matrix as both Cathode Sulfur Immobilizer and Anode Lithium Stabilizer for Practical Lithium-Sulfur Batteries.

As an attractive high-energy-density technology, the practical application of lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries is severely limited by the notorious dissolution and shuttle effect of lithium polysulfides (LiPS), resulting in sluggish reaction kinetics and uncontrollable dendritic Li growth. Herein, a p-n typed heterostructure consisting of n-type MoS nanoflowers embedded with p-type NiO nanoparticles is designed on carbon nanofibers (denoted as NiO-MoS @CNFs) as both cathode sulfur immobilizer and anode Li stabilizer for practical Li-S batteries. Such p-n typed heterostructure is proposed to establish the built-in electric field across the heterointerface for facilitated the positive charge to reach the surface of NiO-MoS , meanwhile inherits the excellent LiPS adsorption ability of p-type NiO nanoparticles and catalytic ability of n-type MoS .
