Safety and performance of everolimus-eluting stents comprising of biodegradable polymers with ultrathin stent platforms.

Background: The registry investigated clinical outcomes after 12 months of implantation of ultra-thin strut (60 µm) biodegradable polymer-coated Tetrilimus everolimus-eluting stents (EES; Sahajanand Medical Technologies Pvt. Ltd., Surat, India) in patients with atherosclerotic coronary lesions.

Role of Surface Oxygen Vacancies and Lanthanide Contraction Phenomenon of Ln(OH) (Ln = La, Pr, and Nd) in Sulfide-Mediated Photoelectrochemical Water Splitting.

Herein, we report the role of surface oxygen vacancies and lanthanide contraction phenomenon on HS anion adsorption and desorption in the sulfide-mediated photoelectrochemical water splitting of Ln(OH) (Ln = La, Pr, and Nd). The Ln(OH) were synthesized via a solvothermal route using ethylenediamine as the solvent. The surface defects are characterized by Raman, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy analyses.

Heterostructured Au NPs/CdS/LaBTC MOFs Photoanode for Efficient Photoelectrochemical Water Splitting: Stability Enhancement via CdSe QDs to 2D-CdS Nanosheets Transformation.

The electrochemical stability of MOFs in aqueous medium is most essential for MOFs based electrocatalysts for hydrogen production via water splitting. Since most MOFs suffer from instability issues in aqueous systems, there is enormous demand for electrochemically stable MOFs catalysts. Herein, we have developed a simple postsynthesis surface modification protocol for La (1,3,5-BTC) (H2O)6 metal-organic frameworks (LaBTC MOFs) using Mercaptopropionic acid (MPA), to attain electrochemical stability in aqueous mediums.
