Sustainability and affordability of Chinese-funded renewable energy project in sub-Saharan Africa: a hybridized solid oxide fuel cell, temperature sensors, and lithium-based solar system approach
This study has included a lithium-ion storage system as a key component in a hybridized renewable energy generation system for the first time that has proven to be efficient and investment worthy. The study also examines the operational parameters of Chinese-funded power plant projects in sub-Saharan Africa and their effectiveness in achieving SDG-7. The novelty of this study is evident in the proposed integrated multi-level hybrid technology model of solid oxide fuel cells, temperature point sensors, and lithium batteries powered by a solar system and embedded in thermal power plants as an alternative electrical energy sy...

Major U.S. geological survey aims to uncover minerals critical for batteries and microchips
From the air, Maine is a uniform sea of green: Forests cover 90% of the state. But beneath the foliage and the dirt lies an array of geological terrains that is far more diverse, built from the relics of volcanic islands that collided with North America hundreds of millions of years ago. Two years ago, sensor-laden aircraft began to survey these geochemically rich terrains for precious minerals. Researchers spotted an anomalous signal streaming out of Pennington Mountain, 50 kilometers from the Canadian border. State geologists bushwhacked through the paper mill–bound pine forests, taking rock samples. They event...

Worldwide research on extraction and recovery of cobalt through bibliometric analysis: a review
This study aims to provide a comprehensive summary of cobalt extraction and recovery research from 2012 to 2021 in the form of bibliometric analysis. The work was based on the Science Citation Index Expanded (Web of Science) and carried out using the InCites of Clarivate for bibliometric data analysis and the software VOSviewer for science mapping. By analyzing a dataset of 4967 publications, the most influential journals, countries, authors, institutions, and publications were identified, and the keyword co-occurrence networks were mapped. The China mainland produced the most publications, while the USA had the highest av...

Exposure to multiple trace elements and thyroid cancer risk in Chinese adults: A case-control study
Int J Hyg Environ Health. 2022 Oct 21;246:114049. doi: 10.1016/j.ijheh.2022.114049. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe incidence of thyroid cancer (TC) has increased rapidly in last decades. Multiple trace elements in the external environment have important effects with thyroid function. However, the evidence for these on TC risk were rarely reported. A total of 585 newly diagnosed TC patients and 585 healthy controls were included in this study, and 14 urinary elements were measured to explain the fixed-exposure effect on TC risk. Conditional logistic regressions were used to reflect the multi-element associations, and Bay...

Metal ions in cerebrospinal fluid: Associations with anxiety, depression, and insomnia among cigarette smokers
CONCLUSIONS: Cigarette smoking was indeed associated with depression and insomnia. Active smokers had significantly higher CSF levels of magnesium, zinc, iron, lead, lithium, and aluminum. Furthermore, CSF aluminum played a mediating role in the relationship between smoking and depression, which further confirmed its neurotoxicity.PMID:36168907 | DOI:10.1111/cns.13955
