Toward Energy Efficient Electrochemical Valorization of Waste Nitrate and Sulfide

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
This work introduces an integrated electrochemical strategy couples nitrate reduction with sulfide oxidation for energy‐efficient wastewater valorization. A Cu‐Co dual‑site catalyst, engineered for close proximity, promotes *NO2 relay and subsequently NH3 formation, enabling the system to operate at substantially reduced cell voltages and produce high ...

Maximize the Electrocatalytic Activity of Pt Toward Ethanol Oxidation via Engineering PdPt1 Single‐Atom Alloy Skin

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Maximizing atomic utilization of Pt is crucial for efficient electrocatalysis. We constructed a tensile‐strained PdPt1 single‐atom alloy (SAA) skin by implanting atomically dispersed Pt onto the surface of intermetallic Pd5Bi3 core‐ultrathin Pd shell octahedrons, fully exposing active Pt atoms to boost ethanol oxidation electrocatalysis.

Time to birth for spontaneous and ART births among infertile groups

BMC Women's Health
Background Childbearing postponement in high-income countries has likely led to an increase in the incidence of age-related infertility. While assisted reproductive technologies (ART) can help some individuals to become parents, this often takes time ...

Energy‐Efficient, Sustainable Cascade Glucose Electrooxidation into Glucaric Acid

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
This study presents a tandem system that efficiently converts glucose into glucaric acid while generating renewable electricity. By decoupling the oxidation process into two cascaded steps, the system achieves an overall 90% Faradaic efficiency and 80% conversion efficiency at ∼0.6 VRHE, significantly reducing energy consumption compared to traditional

Recent Progress on Flexible Multimodal Sensors: Decoupling Strategies, Fabrication and Applications

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
In this review, we establish a tripartite decoupling framework for flexible multimodal sensors, which elucidates the underlying principles of signal crosstalk and their solutions through material design, structural engineering, and AI algorithms. We also demonstrate its potential applications across environmental monitoring, health monitoring, human ...
