This paper explores the application of a helium-oxygen mixture in gas curtain plasma ion source (GCP)-high-field asymmetric ion mobility spectroscopy (FAIMS). A gas mixture of oxygen and helium gases has been employed as the discharge gas. The experiments were conducted using 2-butanone, acetone, methanol, and ethanol as the sample under a radio frequency field strength of 20.3 kV/cm. When the flow rate of the discharge gas is fixed at 0.8 L/min and the helium oxygen mixture ratio is fixed at 7:1, the maximum ion signal can be obtained. With the flow rate of the carrier gas fixed at 1.2 L/min, using 100% oxygen as the carrier gas resulted in a 2.85-fold increase in signal intensity and a 72.67-fold improvement in resolution compared to a mixture of oxygen and nitrogen, as well as 100% nitrogen. Therefore, adding oxygen can not only improve the detection sensitivity of FAIMS, but also enhance its resolution.

Visible-light-driven CO2 reduction presents a long-term answer to environmental challenges. The limited effective optical carriers generated by the limited response dynamics of the existing photocatalyst have severely hindered the development of high efficiency photocatalysts. Here, we report a method of cobalt atoms intercalation in ultrathin BiOBr nanosheets for boosted photocatalytic CO2 reduction.

Umbilical diseases are associated with a decreased market value and increased mortality in calves, and laparotomy is often performed in the field. This retrospective study compared the effects of inhalation anesthesia (INH) and injection anesthesia (INJ) during the perioperative period. We analyzed the medical records of 57 Japanese black calves that underwent laparotomy for umbilical diseases (umbilical hernia and/or umbilical cord disease) between January 2017 and December 2023.

The residues of tetracyclines (TCs) antibiotics present significant challenges in terms of contamination and pose a threat to human health. In this study, a cost-effective n-type semiconductor, CeO, were loaded with small amounts of Au nanoparticles were fabricated by one-step hydrothermal method under alkaline conditions in the presence of the surfactant CTAB. Characterization tests revealed that Au/CeO had significant visible light absorption capacity and good e/h separation efficiency.

Wearable gas sensors offer remarkable advantages in terms of portability and real-time monitoring, rendering them highly promising for various applications such as environmental detection, health monitoring, and early disease diagnosis. However, the most widely used oxide semiconductor gas sensors encounter substantial challenges in achieving mechanical flexibility and room-temperature gas detection due to their inherent rigidity, brittleness, and reliance on high operating temperatures. Herein, an all-inorganic wearable oxide semiconductor gas sensor is fabricated by depositing the anatase/rutile TiO (TiO-A/R) homojunction on a flexible yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) nanofiber substrate using atomic layer deposition technology.
