Recently, LiNiCoMnO has drawn much attention because of its high energy density. Here, 3D-porous LiNiCoMnO and the one with residual carbon have been synthesized using a resorcinol-formaldehyde-assisted sol-gel approach. Scanning electron microscopy images verify that the synthesized LiNiCoMnO possesses a 3D-porous morphology. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis and transmission electron microscopy-mapping images indicate the existence of residual carbon in the secondary particle of 3D-porous LiNiCoMnO. Furthermore, 3D-porous LiNiCoMnO with residual carbon exhibits outstanding electrochemical properties. At a current density of 1900 mA g, the 3D-porous LiNiCoMnO with residual carbon can still deliver a reversible capacity of 113 . Moreover, after 150 cycles at 0.2 C, the capacity retention of 3D-porous LiNiCoMnO with residual carbon reaches to 95%. The excellent electrochemical properties can be ascribed to the unique 3D-porous morphology and residual carbon in the secondary particle.

Seawater intrusion and human activities have significantly impacted coastal groundwater quality in many regions worldwide. This study systematically assessed groundwater chemistry, its suitability for drinking and irrigation (sample size, n = 3034), and exposure risks (n = 2863) across three key sub-regions of the Bohai Sea area: Bohai Bay, Liaodong Bay, and Laizhou Bay. Significant seasonal variations observed in groundwater chemistry at different depths in Bohai Bay region, with severe contamination from salinity-alkalinity and nitrogen-fluoride.

High-temperature and long-term sintering of β″-AlO solid electrolyte (Beta″ Alumina Solid Electrolyte, BASE) can easily cause NaO volatilization. It reduces the solid electrolyte (SE) quality, resulting in low ion conductivity of the electrolyte. It is also difficult to form uniform ionic channels.

Residual antibiotics in aquatic environments pose health and ecological risks due to their persistence and resistance to biodegradation. Thus, it is crucial to develop efficient technologies for the degradation of such antibiotics. This study presents a novel approach using a nano zero-valent iron/graphitic carbon nitride (nZVI/g-CN)-enhanced dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma process for the degradation of ciprofloxacin (CIP).

The input of macroalgal biomass into the deep sea is a crucial process for macroalgal carbon sequestration, but this process may be affected by anoxia. We compared the breakdown of kelp biomass in both normoxic (>4 mg/L O) and anoxic (<2 mg/L O) environments. Following 240 days of decomposition experiment, complete degradation of the kelp biomass occurred in normoxic conditions, whereas under anoxic conditions, relatively 13.

Objectives: To evaluate the effect of intravesical alkalinised lidocaine as an anaesthetic treatment on procedural pain during intradetrusor onabotulinumtoxinA (BTX-A) injections for overactive bladder.

Patients And Methods: This single-centre, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled two period crossover trial was conducted on women scheduled for BTX-A injections at our outpatient urogynaecology clinic between September 2022 and May 2024. Patients were randomly assigned (1:1) to receive either alkalinised lidocaine or placebo during the first treatment period.
