NaV(PO)-decorated NaV(PO)F as a high-rate and cycle-stable cathode material for sodium ion batteries.

Since NaV(PO) (NVP) possesses modest volume deformation and three-dimensional ion diffusion channels, it is a potential sodium-ion battery cathode material that has been extensively researched. Nonetheless, NVP still endures the consequences of poor electronic conductivity and low voltage platforms, which need to be further improved. On this basis, a high voltage platform NaV(PO)F was introduced to form a composite with NVP to increase the energy density.

Unleashing the high energy potential of zinc-iodide batteries: high-loaded thick electrodes designed with zinc iodide as the cathode.

The realization of high energy is of great importance to unlock the practical potential of zinc-iodine batteries. However, significant challenges, such as low iodine loading (mostly less than 50 wt%), restricted iodine reutilization, and severe structural pulverization during cycling, compromise its intrinsic features. This study introduces an optimized, fully zincified zinc iodide loaded onto a hierarchical carbon scaffold with high active component loading and content (82 wt%) to prepare a thick cathode for enabling high-energy Zn-I batteries.

Tertiary lymphoid structures in cancer: immune mechanisms and clinical implications.

Cancer is a major cause of death globally, and traditional treatments often have limited efficacy and adverse effects.

Progress in the Treatment of Central Nervous System Diseases Based on Nanosized Traditional Chinese Medicine.

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is widely used in clinical practice to treat diseases related to central nervous system (CNS) damage. However, the blood-brain barrier (BBB) constitutes a significant impediment to the effective delivery of TCM, thus substantially diminishing its efficacy. Advances in nanotechnology and its applications in TCM (also known as nano-TCM) can deliver active ingredients or components of TCM across the BBB to the targeted brain region.

Epigenetic modifications in obesity-associated diseases.

The global prevalence of obesity has reached epidemic levels, significantly elevating the susceptibility to various cardiometabolic conditions and certain types of cancer. In addition to causing metabolic abnormalities such as insulin resistance (IR), elevated blood glucose and lipids, and ectopic fat deposition, obesity can also damage pancreatic islet cells, endothelial cells, and cardiomyocytes through chronic inflammation, and even promote the development of a microenvironment conducive to cancer initiation. Improper dietary habits and lack of physical exercise are important behavioral factors that increase the risk of obesity, which can affect gene expression through epigenetic modifications.

Unravelling the carbonate issue through the regulation of mass transport and charge transfer in mild acid.

The electrochemical CO reduction reaction (CORR) triggered by renewable electricity provides a promising route to produce chemical feedstocks and fuels with low-carbon footprints. The intrinsic challenge for the current CORR electrolyzer is the carbonate issue arising from the reaction between hydroxide and CO. Acid CORR electrolyzers, in principle, can effectively solve the carbonate formation, but it remains inevitable practically.

Despite the number of studies, there is no extensive review that connects the epigenetics modifications and GM as biomarkers that could confer effective diagnostics and confer treatment options.

An Investigation of the Immune Microenvironment and Genome during Lung Adenocarcinoma Development.

Adenocarcinoma in situ (AIS) and minimally invasive adenocarcinoma (MIA) are two consecutive pathological processes that occur before invasive lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). However, our understanding of the immune editing patterns during the progression of LUAD remains limited. Furthermore, we know very little about whether alterations in driver genes are involved in forming the tumor microenvironment (TME).

Molecular modulation strategies for two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenide-based high-performance electrodes for metal-ion batteries.

In the past few decades, great efforts have been made to develop advanced transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) materials as metal-ion battery electrodes. However, due to existing conversion reactions, they still suffer from structural aggregation and restacking, unsatisfactory cycling reversibility, and limited ion storage dynamics during electrochemical cycling. To address these issues, extensive research has focused on molecular modulation strategies to optimize the physical and chemical properties of TMDs, including phase engineering, defect engineering, interlayer spacing expansion, heteroatom doping, alloy engineering, and bond modulation.

A study of the capacity fade of a LiCoO/graphite battery during the temperature storage process at 45 °C under different SOCs.

Lithium-ion batteries with lithium cobalt oxide (LiCoO) as a cathode and graphite as an anode are promising energy storage systems. However, the high-temperature storage mechanism under different states of charge (SOCs) conditions in batteries remains inadequately elucidated, and a clear storage policy has yet to be established. This study investigates and compares the capacity decay mechanism of a 63 mA h LiCoO/graphite battery at 45 °C under various SOCs (100%, 75%, 50%, 30%, 0%), while also analysing the underlying reasons for this decay.
