Liquid-Phase Synthesis of Monodispersed V Faradic Electrode Toward High-Performance Supercapacitor Application.

Layered intercalating VO (vanadium pentoxide) is a durable battery-type electrode material exploited in supercapacitors. The advancement of VO nanomaterials synthesized from non-aqueous organic solvents holds significant potential for energy storage applications. Liquid-phase synthesis of orthorhombic VO cathode material corroborated its compatibility with quartet glycols and allowed examination of their explicit roles in faradic charge storage efficacy.

A three-dimensional computational study of critical pressures of dissection propagation in the aorta.

Aortic dissection is a life-threatening disease with high mortality rates. The degradation of the layers of the aorta wall causes tears, which then propagate further due to high-pressure blood penetrating the vessel wall, creating a false lumen. The intimal flap separating the true and false lumen can either bulge inwards constricting the true lumen's blood flow or bulge outwards leading to catastrophic rupture and internal bleeding.

Synthesis and crystal structure of -poly[[bis-(nitrato-κ ,')strontium(II)]-di-μ-l-histidine-κ ,':;κ :'].

The title mono-periodic coordination polymer, [Sr(NO)(CHNO)] , was synthesized from l-histidine and strontium nitrate. Crystallizing in the monoclinic space group 2, the structure features an Sr cation (site symmetry 2) coordinated by ten oxygen atoms from zwitterionic l-histidine ligands and nitrate anions, forming a distorted deca-hedral geometry with Sr-O bond lengths ranging from 2.645 (4) to 2.

One-dimensional nickel(II) coordination polymers of 9-anthracenyl-4'-benzoate and bispyridyl linkers as efficient electrocatalysts for hydrogen and oxygen evolution reactions.

Developing stable, efficient, and affordable Earth-abundant transition metal-based electrocatalysts for water splitting applications is key to producing green hydrogen. This study reports the development of new Ni(II)-based one-dimensional coordination polymers (CPs), namely, [Ni(9-AnBz)(4,4'-bpy)(MeOH)] (CP 1), [Ni(9-AnBz)(4,4'-bpe)(MeOH)] (CP 2), and [Ni(9-AnBz)(3,3'-bpdb)(HO)]·HO (CP 3) (where 9-AnBz = 9-anthracenyl-4'-benzoate, 4,4'-bpy = 4,4'-bipyridine, 4,4'-bpe = -1,2-bis(4'-pyridyl)ethene, and 3,3'-bpdb = 1,4-bis(3'-pyridyl)-2,3-diaza-1,3-butadiene), as novel electrocatalysts. Their structures have been confirmed by single crystal X-ray diffraction.

Feasibility, safety and efficiency of an over-pressure wash-in method using fresh gas flow 0.5 L and sevoflurane 8% during initiation of low-flow anaesthesia: A randomised, descriptional study.

Background And Aims: Low-flow anaesthesia (LFA) typically involves a high fresh gas flow (FGF) of 4-6 L/min during the wash-in phase. We aimed to assess the feasibility, safety, and efficiency of an over-pressure wash-in method (FGF = 0.5 L and sevoflurane = 8%) of LFA.
