Research into flexible solid-state supercapacitors for wearable electronics focuses on achieving high performance and safety. Gel polymer electrolytes (GPEs) are preferred over fully solid-state electrolytes due to their better ionic conductivity while addressing safety concerns associated with liquid electrolytes. This study aims to enhance high-performance gel polymer electrolytes (HP-GPEs) by improving the ion transfer rate of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) with sulfonated hexagonal boron nitride (known as white-graphene) and exploring how rheology influences ion-conduction within HP-GPEs.

This study explores the relationship between Financial Technology (Fintech) and ecological sustainability, addressing a critical gap in the literature where prior research has primarily focused on the economic and societal impacts of fintech, overlooking its potential environmental benefits. Specifically, the study investigates whether fintech adoption in urban areas contributes to ecological sustainability, offering insights into how fintech can be leveraged to promote sustainable urban development and support global environmental goals. Utilizing a comprehensive panel dataset covering all BRICS nations from 2000 to 2022, the study employs advanced econometric techniques, including second-generation unit root tests, the Westerlund cointegration approach, and the Method of Moments Quantile Regression (MMQR).

Introduction: Globally, one in five individuals faces unemployment, which substantially increases their risk of developing mental disorders. Understanding the relationship between unemployment and specific mental health outcomes is crucial for formulating effective policy interventions.
Methods: This study examines the relationship between unemployment and mental disorders across 201 countries from 1970 to 2020.

New-type infrastructure has an increasingly important role to play in realizing green well-being. By employing China's prefecture-level data from 2003 to 2021, we explore the influence of new-type infrastructure on green well-being and its impact mechanism. The results show that new-type infrastructure significantly improves regional green well-being (even under the presence of robustness tests and without policy intervention).

NO is a toxic gas that can damage the lungs with prolonged exposure and contribute to health conditions, such as asthma in children. Detecting NO is therefore crucial for maintaining a healthy environment. Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are promising materials for NO gas sensors due to their excellent electronic properties and high adsorption energy for NO molecules.
