Synergistic effects of cerium-containing bioactive glasses and apoptotic extracellular vesicles alleviate bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of jaw

Bisphosphonates (BPs) are commonly used to treat skeletal diseases. However, long-term use of BPs can lead to BP-related jaw bone necrosis (BRONJ), particularly in patients undergoing tooth extraction surgery. The treatment of BRONJ remains challenging due to the local inflammatory microenvironment. To address this issue, we developed...

Novel Solid-State Sodium-Ion Battery with Wide Band Gap NaTi₂(PO₄)₃ Nanocrystal Electrolyte

NaTi2(PO4)3 (NTP), a well-known anode material, could be used as a solid wide-band gap electrolyte. Herein, a novel solid-state sodium-ion battery (SSIB) with the thickness of electrolyte up to the millimeter level is proposed. The results of the difference in charge density investigated by the first-principles calculations imply that using...

High-Voltage Cathode α-Fe₂O₃Nanoceramics for Rechargeable Sodium-Ion Batteries

Previously, α-Fe2O3 nanocrystals are recognized as anode materials owing to their high capacity and multiple properties. Now, this work provides high-voltage α-Fe2O3 nanoceramics cathodes fabricated by the solvothermal and calcination processes for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). Then, their structure and electrical conductivity were...
