Sodium has long been considered an alternative active battery cation to lithium because of the chemical similarity and the overwhelming natural abundance of Na compared to Li. In the "early days" of poly (ethylene oxide) (PEO) and alkali metal salt complexes proposed as polymer electrolytes, studies of Na-salt/PEO materials were nearly as prevalent as those of lithium analogues. Fast forwarding to the present day, there is growing interest in sodium battery chemistry spurred by the challenges of continued advancement in lithium-based batteries. This article reviews the progress made in sodium-based polymer electrolytes from the early days of PEO to the present time. Other polymeric electrolytes such as gel polymer electrolytes (GPE), including formulations based on ionic liquids (ILs), are also discussed.

Purpose: This study investigated the synergistic effects of reduced graphene oxide (RGO) on the antibacterial activity of three calcium hydroxide-based intracanal medicaments with different vehicles.

Methods: Multispecies biofilms were cultured in a bovine root canal model. Intracanal medicaments containing nonaqueous vehicles, including N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP; CleaniCal), propylene glycol (PG; UltraCal XS), and polyethylene glycol (PEG; Calcipex II), were placed in the model.

Electronic address:

Due to its exceptional electronic properties and catalytic activity, MoC has garnered significant attention for its application in electrocatalysis, particularly for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). However, several critical challenges continue to impede its widespread use, especially under strongly alkaline conditions. A primary obstacle is the enhancement of its intrinsic activity through further modification strategies, which remains a key limitation for its broader utilization.

Photochemical weathering and eco-corona formation through natural organic matter (NOM) adsorption play vital roles in the aggregation tendencies of nanoplastics (NPs) in aquatic environments. However, it remains unclear how photochemical weathering alters the adsorption patterns of NOM and the conformation of the eco-corona, subsequently affecting the aggregation tendencies of NPs. This study examined the effect of Suwannee River NOM adsorption on the aggregation kinetics of pristine and photoaged polystyrene (PS) NPs in monovalent electrolyte solutions.
