A new method is described in which the potential of the d.m.e. is measured as a function of the concentration of an electroactive constituent when a constant current is maintained by adjusting the voltage applied to the polarographic cell. Equations are derived describing the expected potential change caused by changing the concentration of a constituent involved in a reversible or an irreversible electrode reaction. Graphical interpretations of the derived equation are made, indicating the most suitable conditions for performing potential measurements, yielding potential differences that greatly exceed those obtained by conventional potentiometry, especially when the method is applied to irreversible electrode reactions at the d.m.e. Experimental evidence is presented, which not only verifies all expectations, but also indicates that the method offers a new approach to the investigation of some fundamental problems.

Sodium-based rechargeable batteries are some of the most promising candidates for electric energy storage with abundant sodium reserves, particularly, sodium-based dual-ion batteries (SDIBs) perform advantages in high work voltage (≈5.0 V), high-power density, and potentially low cost. However, irreversible electrolyte decomposition and co-intercalation of solvent molecules at the electrode interface under a high charge state are blocking their development.

During the initial cycling of lithium-ion batteries, the generation of SEI at the electrode-electrolyte interface and the occurrence of irreversible side reactions consume the active lithium, resulting in irreversible loss of volume (ICL), which may also be accompanied by electrode volume changes and structural collapse. Addressing these challenges has become critical, and pre-lithiation with additional lithium has emerged as a key way to improve battery performance. Hence, this review comprehensively analyzes and summarizes the causes of ICL in lithium-ion batteries, and systematically discusses various prelithiation methods and mechanisms of different electrode structures, especially electrodes.

Aromatic diimides such as naphthalene diimide (NDI) and pyromellitic diimide (MDI) are important building blocks for organic electrode materials. They feature a two-electron redox mechanism that allows for energy storage. Due to the smaller size of MDI compared to NDI its theoretical capacity is higher.

The incidence for congenital heart block is estimated as high as 1 in 15,000 live births. Up to 90% of cases of congenital heart block, in which there is no anatomical abnormalities, are attributed to maternal systemic lupus erythematous or Sjögren's disease. 50% of these mothers are asymptomatic at time of diagnosis.
