A potentiometric, enantioselective membrane electrode based on graphite paste (graphite powder and paraffin oil) has been constructed. The graphite paste is impregnated with a 10(-3) mol/L 2-hydroxy-3-trimethylammoniopropyl-beta-cyclodextrin (as chloride salt) solution. The potentiometric, enantioselective membrane electrode can be used reliably for enantiopurity tests of S-perindopril using a chronopotentiometric (zero current) technique, in the 10(-5)-10(-2) mol/L concentration range (detection limit 5 x 10(-6) mol/L), with an average recovery of 99.58% (RSD = 0.33%). The enantioselectivity was determined over R-perindopril and D-proline. The response characteristics of the enantioselective, potentiometric membrane electrode were also determined for R-perindopril. It was shown that L-proline is the main interfering compound. The surface of the electrode can be regenerated simply by polishing, obtaining a fresh surface ready to be used in a new assay.

The widespread use of gadolinium-based contrast agents for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in recent decades has led to a growing demand for Gd and raised environmental concerns due to their direct discharge into wastewater systems. In response, we developed an electrochemical filtration method to recover Gd from patient urine following contrast-enhanced MRI. This method involves modifying a conventional vacuum filtration apparatus by introducing electrodes into the filter membrane, creating a strong electric field of ∼5 kV/m and a steep three-zone pH gradient within the filter membrane.

The two-dimensional lamellar materials disperse platinum sites and minimize noble-metal usage for fuel cells, while mass transport resistance at the stacked layers spurs device failure with a significant performance decline in membrane electrode assembly (MEA). Herein, we implant porous and rigid sulfonated covalent organic frameworks (COF) into the graphene-based catalytic layer for the construction of steric mass-charge channels, which highly facilitates the activity of oxygen reduction reactions in both the rotating disk electrode (RDE) measurements and MEA device tests. Specifically, the normalized mass activity is remarkably boosted by 3.

Ion exchange membranes (IEMs) enable fast and selective ion transport and the partition of electrode reactions, playing an important role in the fields of precise ion separation, renewable energy storage and conversion, and clean energy production. Traditional IEMs form ion channels at the nanometer-scale via the assembly of flexible polymeric chains, which are trapped in the permeability/conductivity and selectivity trade-off dilemma due to a high swelling propensity. New-generation IEMs have shown great potential to break this intrinsic limitation by using microporous framework channels for ion transport under a confinement regime.

High-voltage lithium-metal batteries (HVLMBs) are appealing candidates for next-generation high-energy rechargeable batteries, but their practical applications are still limited by the severe capacity degradation, attributed to the poor interfacial stability and compatibility between the electrode and the electrolyte. In this work, a 2D conjugated phthalocyanine framework (CPF) containing single atoms (SAs) of cobalt (CoSAs-CPF) is developed as a novel artificial solid-electrolyte interphase (SEI) in which a large amount of charge is transferred to the CPF skeleton due to the Lewis acid activity of the Co metal sites and the strong electron-absorbing property of the cyano group (-CN), greatly enhancing the adsorption of the Li and regulating the Li distribution toward dendrite-free LMBs, which are superior to most of the reported SEI membranes. As a result, the Li||Li symmetrical cell with CoSAs-CPF-modified Li anodes (CoSAs-CPF@Li) exhibits a low polarization with an area capacity of 1.

There is a large gap between the performances indicated by rotating disk electrode (RDE) results in acidic media and the actual performances obtained in membrane-electrode assemblies (MEAs) composed of the same electrocatalysts. It is unclear whether the intrinsic kinetic reactivity of the available surface Pt sites of Pt-based cathode electrocatalysts is similar or different at RDE and in MEA. To address this, we used an operando element-selective time-resolved Pt L-edge quick X-ray absorption fine structure (QXAFS) technique to determine transient response profiles and rate constants, , , and , corresponding to changes in the oxidation states [white line (WL) intensity] and local structures (coordination numbers of Pt-O and Pt-Pt bonds) at Pt sites for nine representative Pt-based cathode electrocatalysts under transient voltage operations, aiming to understand the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) performance gap between RDE and MEA.
