To address these challenges, we propose a range of advanced strategies aimed at improving the stability of cathode materials. These strategies include surface coating and doping techniques designed to fortify the surface properties and structure integrity of the cathode materials under high-voltage conditions. Additionally, we emphasize the importance of designing antioxidant electrolytes, with a focus on understanding and optimizing electrolyte decomposition mechanisms. The review also highlights the significance of modifying conductive agents and employing innovative separators to further enhance the stability of AZIBs.

The transmittance of the electrochromic window is modulated by the state of oxidation (SOC) of aqueous posolyte Fe(phen)<sub>3</sub>Cl<sub>2</sub>, which is coupled with BTMAP-Vi negolyte in RFB. Under optimized conditions, average CE, VE, and EE reach 93.25 %, 92.61 %, and 86.35 % for RFB with a capacity fading rate of 1.57 % per cycle. 88.66 % optical modulation and 9.36 cm<sup>2</sup>/C coloration efficiency are achieved in the electrochromic process, and 72.34 % optical modulation is maintained after 12000 s.

In this study, an integrative approach that combines plasma metabolomics with mass spectrometry imaging of tumor tissue was developed to investigate the global metabolic landscape of GC tumorigenesis and metastasis. The results showed that the oxidized glutathione to glutathione ratio (GSSH/GSH) became increased in non-distal metastatic GC (M0), which means an accumulation of oxidative stress in tumor tissues.
