Evaluating the risk of phthalate and non-phthalate plasticizers in dust samples from 100 Japanese houses

Environment International
Phthalates are widely used as plasticizer and associated with various health issues. Recently, non-phthalate plasticizers are replacing phthalates; however, the exposure to these substances and the risk in Japan is unclear. In this study, we assessed the

Operando Detection of Lithium Plating and Stripping in Fast‐Charging Li‐Ion Cells with a Reference Electrode

Batteries &Supercaps, Volume 8, Issue 10, October 2025.
In this study, a referenceelectrode is incorporated into cells to investigate aging under differentcharging regimes. The results show that fast charging leads to lithiumplating, which can be detected by changes in the incremental capacity profileand post‐mortem analysis.

Developmental neurotoxicity evaluation of di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) and three alternative plasticizers in human neurospheres

Environment International
Plasticizers like di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) are commonly used in medical devices to enhance plastic flexibility. DEHP is classified as a CMR1b substance due to its adverse effects on reproduction and fertility, and it has been linked to ...

Increasing Redox Potential of Pyromellitic Diimide by Chemical Modifications: Toward High‐Voltage Organic Positive Electrode for Lithium Battery

Batteries &Supercaps, Volume 8, Issue 9, September 2025.
Chemical modifications of soluble pyromellitic diimide derivatives with bromo‐ and cyano‐ electron‐withdrawing groups instead of hydrogen lead to an increase of redox potential of 210 and 420 mV respectively compared to the reference. Lithium batteries are considered as the most promising electricity storage solution to support the energy transition ...

Hybrid Ceramic Polymer Electrolytes Enabling Long Cycling in Practical 1 Ah‐Class High‐Voltage Solid‐State Batteries with Li Metal Anode

Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 34, Issue 42, October 15, 2024.
1 Ah high‐voltage lithium polymer batteries with hybrid ceramic polymer electrolyte, lithium metal anode, and NMC‐811 cathode. Li||Li symmetric cells cycle for over 1000 h at a capacity of 2 mAh cm−2. Pouch cells with 1 Ah capacity achieve energy density of nearly 250 Wh kg−1 and 80% capacity retention after 110 cycles.

Ongoing exposure to endocrine disrupting phthalates and alternative plasticizers in neonatal intensive care unit patients

Environment International
Due to endocrine disrupting effects, di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), a plasticizer used to soften plastic medical devices, was restricted in the EU Medical Devices Regulation (EU MDR 2017/745) and gradually replaced by alternative plasticizers ...
