Character of spreading depression (SD) wave propagation was studied on two-dimensional model of excitable tissue. It was shown that strips with diminished density of active elements were of different permeability for the waves depending on their front orientation and curvature. When triggered near the border with a rarefied strip the wave could not penetrate through it and the effect of wave "sliding" along this strip was observed. In several-compartment model imitating the diffusely connected cortico-striatal system of the rat brain the sequence of events was determined by a primary focus position. In this model a single stimulus could provoke not only one wave but re-entry waves and reverberators. Described mechanism of repetitive waves generation in inhomogeneous tissue allow to interpret unusual SD wave consequences observed in electrophysiological experiments.

Promoting SO and OH Generation from Sulfate Solution toward Efficient Electrochemical Oxidation of Organic Contaminants at a B/N-Doped Diamond Flow-Through Electrode.

Environ Sci Technol

January 2025

Key Laboratory of Industrial Ecology and Environmental Engineering (Ministry of Education, China), School of Environmental Science and Technology, Dalian University of Technology, Dalian 116024, China.

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.

The oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) are considered to be the most important processes in metal-air batteries and regenerative fuel cell devices. Metal-organic polymers are attracting interest as promising precursors of advanced metal/carbon electrocatalysts because of their hierarchical porous structure along with the integrated metal-carbon framework. We developed carbon-coated CNTs with Ni/Fe and Cu/Fe as active sites.

TiN Boosting the Oxygen Reduction Performance of Fe-N-C through the Relay-Catalyzing Mechanism for Metal-Air Batteries.

ACS Appl Mater Interfaces

January 2025

Department of Aviation Oil and Material, Air Force Logistics Academy, 72 Xi Ge Road, Xuzhou, Jiangsu 221000, China.

Metal-air batteries desire highly active, durable, and low-cost oxygen reduction catalysts to replace expensive platinum (Pt). The Fe-N-C catalyst is recognized as the most promising candidate for Pt; however, its durability is hindered by carbon corrosion, while activity is restricted due to limited oxygen for the reaction. Herein, TiN is creatively designed to be hybridized with Fe-N-C (TiN/Fe-N-C) to relieve carbon corrosion and absorb more oxygen when catalyzing oxygen reduction.

Monolayer MoS is an effective electrocatalyst for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Despite significant efforts to optimize the active sites, its catalytic performance still falls short of theoretical predictions. One key factor that has often been overlooked is the electron injection from the conductive substrate into the MoS.
