Article Synopsis
  • Flexible rechargeable Zn-air batteries (FZABs) are promising for wearable electronics due to their lightweight and eco-friendly properties, but their performance is hindered by slow oxygen reactions at the air cathode.* -
  • Enhancing the activity and stability of bifunctional catalysts is critical, with two main strategies being the use of powder-based and flexible self-supported air cathodes.* -
  • The paper reviews recent advancements in catalyst structures, discusses strategies for improving catalyst synthesis, and highlights ongoing challenges in the field of FZABs.*

Purpose: To evaluate different patterns of coronal deformity secondary to ankylosing spondylitis (AS), to propose relevant treatment strategies, and to assess efficacy of asymmetrical pedicle subtraction osteotomy (APSO).

Methods: Coronal deformity was defined as coronal Cobb angle over 20º or coronal balance distance (CBD) more than 3 cm. 65 consecutive AS patients with concomitant coronal and sagittal deformity who underwent PSO were included.

Quinazoline (Qz)-linked covalent organic frameworks (COFs) have been constructed via a three-component reaction of ortho-acylanilines, benzaldehydes and NHOAc. The structure of Qz-COFs has been confirmed by solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared and powder X-ray diffraction patterns. The Qz-COFs possess high chemical stability, showing good endurance to strong acid, strong base, oxidant, reductant and other conditions.

Background: Nowadays, both lateral mass screw (LMS) and pedicle screw were effective instrumentation for posterior stabilization of cervical spine. This study aims to evaluate the feasibility of a new free-hand technique of C7 pedicle screw insertion without fluoroscopic guidance for cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM) patients with C3 to C6 instrumented by lateral mass screws.

Methods: A total of 53 CSM patients underwent lateral mass screws instrumentation at C3 to C6 levels and pedicle screw instrumentation at C7 level were included.

Article Synopsis
  • - Redox electrolytes are gaining attention for supercapacitors (SCs) due to their ability to provide high capacitance and long cycle stability, but their energy density is limited by narrow electrochemical windows caused by side reactions.
  • - To enhance performance, the study introduces tetrachloridehydroquinone (TCHQ) as a redox mediator in organic electrolytes, allowing a broader electrochemical window up to 2.7 V through a specific dehydrogenation reaction catalyzed by N-doped activated carbon.
  • - The research highlights the effectiveness of using TCHQ and N-doped activated carbon to improve energy density in SCs, offering a new approach for designing redox mediators and
