Laparoscopic distal partial gastrectomy is still technically difficult under conditions of a pneumoperitoneum because the lack appropriate techniques and laparoscopic instruments. We describe here technique laparoscopy-assisted Billroth I an abdominal wall-elevating method.
Beyond the fragile glass fiber separator, we demonstrated a polymer separator with good mechanical strength and fast Zn 2+ diffusivity, which synergistically mitigates dendrite formation improves reversibility at high capacity.
Iridium oxide (IrOx)-based materials are the most suitable oxygen evolution reaction (OER) catalysts for water electrolysis in acidic media. There is a strong demand from industry improved performance and reduction of Ir amount. Here, we report composite catalyst, IrOx–TiO2–Ti (ITOT), with high concentration active OH species mixed valence IrOx on its surface. We have discovered that obtained ITOT catalyst shows an outstanding OER activity (1.43 V vs RHE at 10 mA cm–2) Moreover, no apparent...

Highly efficient mixed H+/e–/O2– triple conducting air electrodes are indispensable for improving the electrochemical performance of protonic ceramic fuel cells and electrolysis (PCFC/ECs) operating at intermediate temperatures. This study demonstrates that single perovskite-type La0.8Sr0.2Co1-xNixO3-δ families (LSCN, x = 0–0.3) conductors due to a pronounced hydration ability elevated temperatures with related enthalpy −107 kJ mol–1.

A simple anodizing technique has been employed to develop highly active electrocatalysts that can be applied the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in alkaline media. NiFe alloys were electrodeposited and anodized form a porous electrocatalytic layer. This approach produces electrodes without need for noble metals, binders, or conductive carbon additives.

Abstract A safe and straightforward process was developed for electropolishing aluminum surfaces using a nonhazardous electrolyte solution, specifically ethylene glycol (EG) or propylene (PG) with NaCl, instead of perchloric acid. High-purity specimens were immersed in slowly stirred solution EG PG NaCl anodically polarized at 20–140 V 2–30 min. At an optimal voltage 40–60 V, the current density reached constant value after initial transition, resulting uniform dissolution specimen’s surface...
