Association between exposure to bisphenols and per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances and behavioral problems among Chinese preschoolers

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety
In order to fill the gap in previous research, we aim to investigate the relationship between single and co-exposure to bisphenols (BPs) and per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and behavioral problems among Chinese preschoolers.

Upscaling Sodium‐Ion Battery Cells: From Aqueous Processing to Performance Assessment of Hard Carbon|Prussian White Pouch Cells

Advanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.
This study investigates the feasibility of scaling up Prussian White (PW)‐based cathode manufacturing at a pilot scale. Through careful PW dehydration combined with optimized aqueous processing, we report the stepwise development of industrially relevant 1 Ah pouch cells and evaluate their performance under various conditions.

The association between per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances and biological aging among middle and older age adults: The moderating effect of caffeine

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety
Perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are pervasive environmental pollutants associated with aging-related diseases and mortality risks, yet their relationship with biological aging remains underexplored. Notably, dietary antioxidants like

Thin Reinforced Sulfonated Poly(phenylene sulfone) Membranes for Durable Water Electrolysis: Suppressed Swelling and Enhanced Stability Over 2000 Hours

Advanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.
Hydrocarbon membranes have the potential to significantly enhance the efficiency of water electrolyzers. However, their application is often limited by insufficient stability resulting from excessive swelling. This work presents a strategy to achieve efficient, safe and stable operation of a 24 µm thin hydrocarbon membrane by combining a modified ...

The influence of rivers on seabird foraging ecology

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Rivers act as vital arteries to the world's oceans, delivering fresh water and nutrients that sustain marine ecosystems. Globally, river flow increasingly is being altered by climate change and anthropogenic pressures; yet the significance of rivers to predatory marine species, such as seabirds, and the extent to which river‐related changes ...
