Article Synopsis
- The study focused on replacing NaCO in sodium manganese ferrite with various eutectic or eutectoid alkali carbonate mixtures, which enhanced hydrogen production speed, especially with the (LiNa)CO mixture.
- The fast hydrogen production was linked to the partial melting of the eutectoid carbonate, which facilitates ion diffusion, but this came at the cost of overall reversibility in hydrogen production upon cycling.
- While the nonsubstituted Na mixture displayed the best reversibility, the 50%Li-Na and Li-K-Na mixtures completely failed to produce hydrogen after the first cycle, primarily due to unwanted phase formation and increased sintering in the carbonate mixtures.
Article Synopsis
- A novel treatment method using resonant acoustic standing waves in limbs is proposed to safely dissolve harmful bubbles in the bloodstream by causing them to rupture.
- The method employs semicircular piezoelectric transducers to generate these waves in a swine thigh model, allowing for the study of bubble behavior in simulated blood vessels filled with saline and sheep blood.
- Results show that the acoustic waves can effectively rupture bubbles sized between 300μm and 900μm, achieving a 44% reduction in dissolved gas without harming red blood cell counts.
Reduction of Grain Boundary Resistance of LaLiTiO by the Addition of Organic Polymers.
Nanomaterials (Basel)
December 2020
The organic solvents that are widely used as electrolytes in lithium ion batteries present safety challenges due to their volatile and flammable nature. The replacement of liquid organic electrolytes by non-volatile and intrinsically safe ceramic solid electrolytes is an effective approach to address the safety issue. However, the high total resistance (bulk and grain boundary) of such compounds, especially at low temperatures, makes those solid electrolyte systems unpractical for many applications where high power and low temperature performance are required.

The patients were conditioned with reduced-intensity regimens, and CYA was used for GVHD prophylaxis. Successful engraftment occurred in 16 patients (94%).
