Magnetically enhanced water splitting reaction using nickel-Fe3O4 composite electrodes
We describe a simple electrodeposition method for creating a thin layer of Nickel-Fe 3 O 4 (Ni-Fe 3 O 4 ). The resulting thin film showed notable electrocatalytic activity for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in an alkaline media. In order...

Bilateral Diffuse Anterior Scleritis With Ocular Hypertension Revealing Rheumatoid Arthritis
Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic systemic autoimmune disease that may involve extra-articular organs, including the eye. Scleritis is a severe and potentially sight-threatening ocular manifestation frequently associated with rheumatoid arthritis. We report the case of a 63-year-...

Selective Recovery of Lithium from Spent LiFePO4 Cathode Powder Using the [BSO3HMIm]HSO4–H2O2 System
Abstract The recycling of spent LiFePO4 cathodes is critical for meeting the growing demand for lithium and reducing dependence on primary mining. Conventional hydrometallurgical routes are typically limited by high reagent consumption, poor selectivity, and secondary pollution,...
