Overcoming Ion Trapping in Chevrel Phase Compounds via Tailored Anion Substitution: An Integrated Study of Theory, Synthesis, and In Operando Techniques for Reversible Aqueous Zn-Ion Batteries.

Sustainable batteries are key for powering electronic devices of the future, with aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) standing out for their use of abundant, readily available elements, and safer production processes. Among the various electrode materials studied for AZIBs, the Chevrel Phase, MoS has shown promise due to its open framework, but issues with zinc ion trapping have limited its practical application. In this work, we employed computational methods to investigate the insertion-deinsertion mechanism in a series of isostructural MoSSe ( = 0-8) solid solutions as materials that could balance the gravimetric capacity and reversible cycling for AZIBs.

Assessing Challenges of 2D-Molybdenum Ditelluride for Efficient Hydrogen Generation in a Full-Scale Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) Water Electrolyzer.

Proton exchange membrane (PEM) water electrolyzers are critical enablers for sustainable green hydrogen production due to their high efficiency. However, nonplatinum catalysts are rarely evaluated under actual electrolyzer operating conditions, limiting knowledge of their feasibility for H production at scale. In this work, metallic 1T'-MoTe films were synthesized on carbon cloth supports via chemical vapor deposition and tested as cathodes in PEM electrolysis.

Construction of a N,P doped 3D dendrite-free lithium metal anode by using silicon-containing lithium metal.

Lithium is thought to be an excellent anode material for next-generation Li metal batteries (LMBs). However, some problems with lithium anodes often lead to serious safety concerns and catastrophic failures due to the huge volume change, Li dendritic growth, and related side reactions. Therefore, in order to manufacture stable rechargeable batteries, the abovementioned serious problems must be effectively solved.

Identification of Sex Differentiation-Related microRNAs in Spinach Female and Male Flower.

Sex determination and differentiation is an important biological process for unisexual flower development. Spinach is a model plant to study the mechanism of sex determination and differentiation of dioecious plant. Till now, little is known about spinach sex determination and differentiation mechanism.

A STROBE-compliant case-control study: Effects of cumulative doses of topical atropine on intraocular pressure and myopia progression.

Topical atropine has become a mainstream treatment of myopia throughout East and Southeast Asia, but it is uncertain whether long-term topical atropine therapy induces intraocular pressure (IOP) elevation and subsequent development of glaucoma. We then prospectively examined the effects of long-term atropine treatment on IOP.Our case series collected 186 myopic children who were younger than 16 years of age.

Reductive Transformation of Layered-Double-Hydroxide Nanosheets to Fe-Based Heterostructures for Efficient Visible-Light Photocatalytic Hydrogenation of CO.

Conversion of syngas (CO, H ) to hydrocarbons, commonly known as the Fischer-Tropsch (FT) synthesis, represents a fundamental pillar in today's chemical industry and is typically carried out under technically demanding conditions (1-3 MPa, 300-400 °C). Photocatalysis using sunlight offers an alternative and potentially more sustainable approach for the transformation of small molecules (H O, CO, CO , N , etc.) to high-valuable products, including hydrocarbons.

[Effect of acid suppression therapy for eradicating Helicobacter pylori infection on bismuth absorption from colloidal bismuth pectin].

Objective: To investigate whether acid suppression therapy influences the absorption of bismuth from colloidal bismuth pectin (CBP).

Methods: 48 male SD rats were randomly divided into five groups to be administer with different medicines once a day for 14 days: group A1 (administered with CBP only and killed on the cessation day of administration), group B1 (administered with CBP only and killed 8 weeks after the cessation of administration), group A2 [administered with CBP + amoxicillin (AMO) + metronidazole (MTR) + losec and killed on the cessation day of administration], group B2 (administered with CBP + AMO + MTR + losec and killed 8 weeks after the cessation of administration), and control group (administered with distilled water). The kidney issue sections were counterstained after AMG development.
