Additionally, signatures from surface states in the i-U characteristics are identified, their densities estimated, and their implications discussed.

However, the presence of external stressors, including pollution and contamination, can adversely affect their physiological processes such as metabolism, growth, reproduction and cause irregular spikes in stress hormones. These conditions lead to abnormalities in hormone levels, particularly cortisol, which ultimately impair growth performances and reduce overall yield. Monitoring external stress biomarkers is therefore crucial, with cortisol being the most reliable indicator due to its central role in maintaining homeostasis and metabolic regulation. While antibody-based sensors often suffer from low stability, limited shelf life, and poor performance under harsh environment conditions, aptamer-based sensors offer a stable, modifiable, cost-effective alternative for cortisol sensing in aquaculture systems. This study proposes the development of a reagent-free electrochemical aptamer-based sensor designed to enable real-time cortisol monitoring.

Morphology changes in cathode particles, a main mode of degradation, directly impact rate performance by limiting surface kinetics and solid-phase diffusion. If direct recycling processes do not sufficiently restore pristine-like morphologies, the recycled materials may retain structural defects that hinder high-rate performance.

Through a series of electrochemical experiments, H<sub>2</sub> evolution tests, and surface morphology/composition characterization, [Ch][OA] was confirmed as a novel additive for enhancing voltage and discharge activity. The half-cell discharge potential reached as low as -1.67 V, while the full-cell voltage exceeded 1.46 V, representing improvements of 110 and 70 mV over the blank electrolyte, respectively. Significantly improved impedance values indicate that the self-corrosion of AZ31B was suppressed. This enhancement likely stems from [OA]⁻ coordinating with Mg²⁺ to enhance dissolution homogeneity of the AZ31B anode, while [Ch]⁺ adsorption onto the AZ31B surface inhibits its self-corrosion. The synergistic effect of [Ch][OA] substantially improves Mg-air battery’s discharge performance, providing crucial theoretical support for improving their practical discharge capabilities.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":305,"journal":{"name":"Electrochimica Acta","volume":"555 ","pages":"Article 148398"},"PeriodicalIF":5.6,"publicationDate":"2026-04-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146135099","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
