Article Synopsis
  • - The growth of lithium dendrites is a major challenge for lithium metal batteries, requiring effective solutions to promote their safe use in energy storage.
  • - A new sandwich-structured current collector has been developed using an ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) polymer and copper oxide (CuO) to protect the lithium anode and improve lithium deposition.
  • - Tests show that this design enhances lithium ion mobility and reduces resistance, significantly improving the cycle life and stability of lithium batteries compared to traditional methods.

Article Synopsis
  • Dopant-free defective carbon electrocatalysts are emerging as eco-friendly alternatives to expensive metal catalysts because they avoid pollution and recovery issues.
  • The synthesis of these materials typically requires complex and harsh processes to create numerous carbon defects with high catalytic activity.
  • A new method using dissolution-recrystallization helped create one-dimensional porous defective carbon nanorods (d-CNRs), which demonstrated excellent performance in oxygen reduction reactions and showed potential for use in Zn-air batteries without significant performance loss over time.

The treatment of wastewater containing methyl orange was investigated experimentally using a three-dimensional electrode reactor coupling ultrasonics and the effect of ultrasonics on the degradation was studied. The effects of cell voltage, original concentration of methyl orange, pH value and the concentration of electrolyte on the removal efficiency were considered. The experimental results indicated that the removal rate of methyl orange exceeded 99% and the removal of chemical oxygen demand (COD(Cr)) approached 84% under the optimum conditions.

To evaluate the acute lung toxicity of intratracheally instilled nano-TiO2 in Kunming mice, healthy adult male Kunming mice were randomly grouped by their body weight (5 mice in each group). The lungs of mice were intratracheally instilled with 1 or 10 mg/kg x bw of nano-TiO2. The control group was intratracheally instilled with the same volume of physiological saline.
