To rival commercial organic electrolytes, it is important to focus on safe, cheap aqueous electrolytes with lower salt concentration (≈5.0 m) and a wider electrochemical stable potential window (ESPW). This study reports the facile synthesis of porphyrin-based covalent organic polymers (PTZ-COP, CBZ-COP, and TPA-COP) through a one-pot aromatic electrophilic polycondensation reaction between pyrrole and monomeric aldehydes (PTZ-CHO, CBZ-CHO and TPA-CHO).

Background: Cage subsidence frequently complicates lumbar fusion procedures, including lateral lumbar interbody fusion (LLIF), potentially leading to recurrent pain, impaired fusion, and accelerated degeneration of adjacent segments. A critical factor influencing cage subsidence is the selection of material. Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) and three-dimensional printed titanium (3D-Ti) cages are commonly used in LLIF procedures, each offering distinct advantages.
