Herein, we present an orientated LiS deposition strategy to achieve extreme fast charging (XFC, ≤15 min) through synergistic control of porosity, electronic conductivity, and anchoring sites of electrode substrate. Via magnesiothermic reduction of a zeolitic imidazolate framework, a nitrogen-doped and hierarchical porous carbon with highly graphitic phase was developed.

We observed a particularly low incidence of relapse in patients prepared with fludarabine, busulfan and melphalan in our previous study and this multicenter retrospective analysis aimed to confirm the feasibility of the regimen and to identify the potential prognostic factors. This study was performed using registry data from adults patients with myeloid malignancies who underwent their first allo-HSCT following fludarabine(≥100 mg/m), busulfan (≥3.

Using porous organic polymers (POPs) as the support to immobilize noble metal catalysts has exhibited remarkable reduction performance but is rarely reported. Herein, a cationic triphenylamine-based POP was synthesized by quaternization to immobilize PtCl to prepare an efficient photocatalyst named DCM-TPA-Pt for the reduction of 4-NP to 4-AP in the presence of NaBH.

However, limited knowledge exists regarding the impact of subsidence caused by coal mining on the distribution of potentially toxic elements (PTEs) fractions in farmland soil. In this study, we collected 19 soil profiles at varying depths from the soil surface and at horizontal distances of 0, 1, 2, and 5 m from the vertical crack.

The system ingeniously integrates the sulfur oxidation reaction (SOR) and the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) into a single, efficient process. Central to this system is the trifunctional phosphorus-doped cobalt molybdate catalyst (P-CoMoO/NF), which exhibits superior performance in both HER (η = 0.

Despite their effectiveness, crafting nanoconfined catalysts is challenging due to unclear formation mechanisms. In this study, we introduce an electrochemical method to grow Pd clusters within the interlayers of two-dimensional black phosphorus, creating Pd cluster-intercalated black phosphorus (Pd-i-BP) as an electrocatalyst.

A retrospective analysis was conducted using data from 244 SAA patients who underwent allo-HSCT between January 2016 and October 2022. The patient cohort was divided into 2 groups based on the presence of pre-existing anti-HLA Abs.

Pyrophosphoric acid (PPi) is a crucial indicator for monitoring adenosine triphosphate hydrolysis processes, and abnormal PPi levels in the human body seriously threaten human health. Thus the efficient detection of the concentration of PPi in the aqueous solution is important and urgent. This paper described the successful synthesis of a tetraphenylethylene (TPE) derivative, named as TPE-4B, which contained four chelate pyridinium groups exhibiting aggregation-induced emission characteristics.
