It is a novel and practical method to use natural porous biomaterials as microwave absorber. In this study, NiCoS nanowires (NWs)@diatomite (De) composites with one-dimensional (1D)-NWs and three-dimensional(3D)-De composites were prepared by a two-step hydrothermal method using De as template. The effective absorption bandwidth (EAB) of the composite reaches 6.

Bifunctional materials possess remarkable properties that allow them to store and convert electrical energy easily. In this paper, diatomite-like potassium iron disulfide (KFeS) was synthesized by a multistep sacrificial template method, and its morphological, electrochemical, and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) properties were investigated. KFeS was found to be porous, hollow, and cake-like, which suggests a high specific surface area (SSA) and abundant electrochemically active sites.

Therefore, it is necessary to explore new treatment methods. To explore the effect and mechanism of melatonin in peripheral nerve regeneration, we administered melatonin to mice with PNI by intraperitoneal injection.

A previous study confirmed that exendin-4 can effectively improve nerve regeneration and functional recovery after PNI. However, the specific mechanisms by which exendin-4-mediates this repair have not been clarified.
