A Function-Oriented Binder with Exceptional Interface Ion Transport and Impurity Tolerance for Hard Carbon Anode.

Hard carbon is the sole anode material employed in commercial sodium-ion batteries. However, its intrinsic defects and impurities will lead to battery failure, diminishing further development of sodium batteries in energy storage. Here, an acrylonitrile copolymer and poly(ethylene oxide) (LA/PEO) composite binder is developed to address these challenges in biomass-derived hard carbon.

Prenatal diagnosis and genetic analysis of novel missense mutation in gene.

Hemophilia A (HA) is an X-linked recessive hereditary bleeding disorder characterized by recurrent bleeding into muscles, deep tissues, and joint cavities, which may result in varying degrees of disability. Currently, there is no cure for this disease. In this study, the First Hospital of Lanzhou University conducted prenatal diagnosis and family genetic testing on a female carrier of the coagulation factor VIII () gene mutation c.
