Exploring the potential of CuCoFeTe@CuCoTe yolk-shelled microrods in supercapacitor applications.

Driven by their excellent conductivity and redox properties, metal tellurides (MTes) are increasingly capturing the spotlight across various fields. These properties position MTes as favorable materials for next-generation electrochemical devices. Herein, we introduce a novel, self-sustained approach to creating a yolk-shelled electrode material.

The oxygen dilemma: The challenge of the anode reaction for microbial electrosynthesis from CO.

Microbial electrosynthesis (MES) from CO provides chemicals and fuels by driving the metabolism of microorganisms with electrons from cathodes in bioelectrochemical systems. These microorganisms are usually strictly anaerobic. At the same time, the anode reaction of bioelectrochemical systems is almost exclusively water splitting through the oxygen evolution reaction (OER).

A Monte Carlo study on dose distribution validation of GZP6 (60)Co stepping source.

Aim: Stepping source in brachytherapy systems is used to treat a target lesion longer than the effective treatment length of the source. Cancerous lesions in the cervix, esophagus and rectum are examples of such a target lesion.

Background: In this study, the stepping source of a GZP6 afterloading intracavitary brachytherapy unit was simulated using Monte Carlo (MC) simulation and the results were used for the validation of the GZP6 treatment planning system (TPS).
