A simple multi electric resistance mode is used to regulate electroactive anode film, which improves the electricity generation, HO production and pollutants removal. This external electron transport path (double cathode with different resistance) exhibits higher HO production (571.9 ± 0.1 mg m h), tetracycline removal (71.4 ± 0.4% to 50 mg L), and power (615.3 ± 9.9 mW m plus 680.6 ± 10.3 mW m), which is 75.4%, 23.1% and 1.25 times higher than that of single cathode mode. The double cathode improves the relative abundance of Geobacter (exoelectrogens), which is 9.45 times higher than that of single cathode mode. The anodic capacitance of double cathode mode is more than 10 times higher than that of single cathode mode. Electrons (generate by exoelectrogens) participate in two- (cathodic chamber) and four- (anodic chamber) electron reaction at cathode surface, and facilitates electricity generation of bioelectro-Fenton. The removal rate of double cathode mode is 342.7 mg L d (50 mg L tetracycline) and 170.1 mg L d (20 mg L tetracycline), which is much higher than that of reported. These results indicate that external electron transport path enhances the electrochemical activity of anode film and performance of bioelectro-Fenton. This paper provides a new power supply method for the future practical application and field experiment of bioelectrio-Fenton.

The utilization of dual-working-electrode mode of interdigitated array (IDA) electrodes and other two-electrode systems has revolutionized electrochemical detection by enabling the simultaneous and independent detection of two species, accompanied by the exhibition of unique characteristics. In contrast to conventional dual-potential electrodes, such as the rotating ring disk electrodes (RRDE), IDA electrodes demonstrate analogous yet vastly improved performance, characterized by remarkable collection efficiency and sensitivity. Notably, due to the distinctive microscale structure of IDA electrode, the special "feedback" effect makes IDA a unique signal amplifier.

Electrochemical oxidation via in situ-generated reactive oxygen species (ROS) is effective for the mineralization of refractory organic pollutants. However, the oxidation performance is usually limited by the low yield and utilization efficiency of ROS. Herein, a B/N-doped diamond (BND) flow-through electrode with enhanced SO/OH generation and utilization was designed for electrochemical oxidation of organic pollutants in sulfate solution.

Background: Electrically evoked compound action potential (ECAP) can be used to measure the auditory nerve's response to electrical stimulation in cochlear implant (CI) users. In the Nurotron CI system, extracting the ECAP waveform from the stimulus artifact is time-consuming.

Method: We developed a new paradigm ("FastCAP") for use with Nurotron CI devices.

Multiple ocular surface disorders are associated with the mechanical properties of the interface between the eyelid and cornea. Determining eyelid pressure is vital for diagnosing and preventing these disorders. However, current measurements rely on flat piezoresistive pressure sensor arrays that lack eye-motion sensing capabilities, resulting in discomfort and measurement inaccuracies.

The electrochemical carbon dioxide reduction reaction (CORR) using renewable electricity sources could provide a sustainable solution for generating valuable chemicals, such as formate salt or formic acid. However, an efficient, stable, and scalable electrode generating formate at industrially viable current densities (>100 mA cm) is yet to be developed. Sn or In-based catalysts in gas diffusion electrodes (GDE) can efficiently produce formate.
