We report the first proof of concept for a non-aqueous semi-solid flow battery (SSFB) based on Na-ion chemistry using P2-type NaxNi0.22Co0.11Mn0.66O2 and NaTi2(PO4)3 as positive and negative electrodes, respectively. This concept opens the door for developing a new low-cost type of non-aqueous semi-solid flow batteries based on the rich chemistry of Na-ion intercalating compounds.

Since the proposal of the concept of semi-solid flow batteries (SSFBs), SSFBs have gained increased attention as an alternative for large-scale energy storage applications. As a new type of high energy density flow battery system, lithium-ion semi-solid flow batteries (Li-SSFBs) combine the features of both flow batteries and lithium-ion batteries and show the advantages of decoupling power and capacity. Moreover, Li-SSFBs typically can achieve much higher energy density while maintaining a lower cost.

Direct imaging of semi-solid lipids, such as myelin, is of great interest as a noninvasive biomarker of neurodegenerative diseases. Yet, the short T relaxation times of semi-solid lipid protons hamper direct detection through conventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) pulse sequences. In this study, we examined whether a three-dimensional ultrashort echo time (3D UTE) sequence can directly acquire signals from membrane lipids.

Poorly soluble drugs represent a substantial portion of emerging drug candidates, posing significant challenges for pharmaceutical formulators. One promising method to enhance the drug's dissolution rate and, consequently, bioavailability involves transforming them into an amorphous state within mesoporous materials. These materials can then be seamlessly integrated into personalized drug formulations using Additive Manufacturing (AM) techniques, most commonly via Fused Deposition Modeling.

Non-aqueous redox flow batteries (RFBs) are highly attractive for grid-scale energy storage applications because of their independent design of energy and power, high energy density and efficiency, easy maintenance, and potentially low cost. In order to develop active molecules with large solubility, excellent electrochemical stability, and high redox potential for a non-aqueous RFB catholyte, herein, two flexible methoxymethyl groups had been attached to a famous redox-active tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) core. The strong intermolecular packing of the rigid TTF unit was effectively depressed, leading to a dramatically improved solubility of up to 3.

Background: Meloxicam is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug revealing poor solubility in water and good permeability through biological membranes. It is currently administered mostly in forms exerting systemic effects, however, in some conditions topical formulations can be equally useful.
Objective: The objective of the presented work was to formulate and investigate in detail the rheological behavior of non-aqueous gels containing 0.
