Bio‐Inspired Robust Non‐combustible Bioplastic with Superinsulated Energy Harvesting for Intelligent Firefighting

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
This study develops a novel non‐combustible chitosan‐based bioplastic (NCCB) via ethanol‐induced surface assembly. The material's inherent flame retardancy and thermally insulating, rough surface enable high‐performance TENGs. The NCCB‐TENG maintains stable output even when exposed to fire and exhibits dual sensitivity to temperature (25–200°C) and ...

Sulfur‐Rich μ‐O Diiron Catalyst for Electrochemical Hydrogen Production

European Journal of Inorganic Chemistry, EarlyView.
A diferric μ‐oxido complex supported by a sulfur‐rich scaffold acts as a proton‐reduction electrocatalyst for H2 production via a μ‐hydroxido species. An aminodithiophenolate scaffold with an NS2 donor set supports diiron complex formation. The diferrous precursor activates O2, giving rise to a diferric μ‐oxido species, which acts as a proton‐reduction

Evaluation of Acute Exposure to Combustible and Novel Tobacco Products Using an In Vitro Human Airway Organ Tissue Equivalent Model

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Despite the well‐known risks of tobacco use, tobacco exposure remains a major contributor to morbidity and mortality worldwide. Although cigarette use has declined, the popularity of novel tobacco products (NTPs), such as electronic cigarettes (ECs) and heated tobacco products (HTPs), has increased.

Effects of feeding almond hulls to light lambs on carcass characteristics and meat quality

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Almond hulls (AH) are the main by‐product of almond processing for human consumption and contain bioactive compounds that can improve meat quality. Although AH are used as feed for dairy cows in some countries, information on their potential effects on meat quality is limited.
