Impedance pneumography (IP) is a non-invasive respiration measurement technique. Emerging applications of IP in respiratory medicine use the measured signal to monitor pulmonary flow and volume parameters related to airway obstruction during tidal breathing (TB). This requires a high impedance change (ΔZ)-to-lung volume change (ΔV) linearity. Four potential electrode configurations were tested on 10 healthy subjects. Only the novel configuration where the electrodes were placed in both the thorax and the arms yielded a highly linear ΔZ/ΔV in all subjects. The presented electrode configuration may expand the clinical use of IP from the conventional tidal volume estimation to flow measurement.

High-entropy phosphides (HEPs) have garnered increasing interest as innovative electrocatalysts for water splitting, highlighted by their distinctive catalytic activity, elemental synergy, and tunable electronic configuration. Herein, a novel electrode comprising CoNiCuZnFeP nanocubes with rich phosphorus vacancies was fabricated through coprecipitation and phosphorization two-step method. The synergistic interaction among metal elements and the modulation of the electronic configuration by phosphorus vacancies augmentation enhance the catalytic performance for both the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER).

Ultrahigh-voltage potassium-ion batteries (PIBs) with cost competitiveness represent a viable route towards high energy battery systems. Nevertheless, rapid capacity decay with poor Coulombic efficiencies remains intractable, mainly attributed to interfacial instability from aggressive potassium metal anodes and cathodes. Additionally, high reactivity of K metal and flammable electrolytes pose severe safety hazards.

Rechargeable alkaline zinc batteries are emerging as promising candidates for next-generation energy storage systems, owing to their affordability, eco-friendliness and high energy density. However, their widespread application is hindered by stability challenges, particularly in alkaline environments, due to cathode corrosion and deformation, as well as dendrite formation and unwanted side reactions at the Zn anode. To address these issues, we successfully developed a 3D nickel micromesh-supported NiCoP (3D NM@NiCoP) electrode.

Transcutaneous spinal direct current stimulation (TSDCS) has the potential to modulate spinal circuits and induce functional changes in humans. Nevertheless, differences across studies on basic parameters used and obtained metrics represent a confounding factor. Computer simulations are instrumental in improving the application of the TSDCS technique.

Fe-N-C materials are emerging catalysts for replacing precious platinum in the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) for renewable energy conversion. However, their potential is hindered by sluggish ORR kinetics, leading to a high overpotential and impeding efficient energy conversion. Using iron phthalocyanine (FePc) as a model catalyst, we elucidate how the local strain can enhance the ORR performance of Fe-N-Cs.
