Study on the influence of working environment on the insulation of fuel cell by Ji Pu, Qianya Xie, Kang Li, Jun Li, Mengmeng Zhang, Chen Ge, Lichang Zhang

“…Most studies have analyzed the coolant conductivity, coolant temperature, and ion precipitation of the components. Based on the improvement of insulation in previous studies, this study uses multi-stack proton exchange membrane(PEM) fuel cells used in commercial vehicles as an example to analyze the influence of ambient relative humidity(RH) on the insulation of fuel cells through a combination of tests and fluid simulations. …”

Quantitative Detection of Zinc Oxide Nanoparticle in Environmental Water by Cloud Point Extraction Combined ICP-MS by Yuan Yang, Xin Liu, Lin Luo, Wenjing Wei, Qiang Wang, Jiachao Zhang

“…The results demonstrated that the addition of β-mercaptoethylamine could significantly reduce the interference of Zn2+ on the extraction of ZnONPs, while the CPE approach was not affected significantly by the typical environmental inorganic ion and ENMs (such as Au, TiO2, and Al2O3). The extraction method of ZnONPs with different diameters was also assessed, and satisfactory extraction efficiency was obtained. …”

Chasing the Beginning of Reionization in the JWST Era by Christopher Cain, Garett Lopez, Anson D’Aloisio, Julian B. Muñoz, Rolf A. Jansen, Rogier A. Windhorst, Nakul Gangolli

“…We find that the latter requires up to an order-of-magnitude evolution in galaxy ionizing properties at 6 <  z  < 12, perhaps in tension with measurements of ξ _ion by JWST, which indicate little evolution. We study how these models compare to recent measurements of the Ly α forest opacity, mean free path, intergalactic medium thermal history, visibility of z  > 8 Ly α emitters, and the patchy kSZ signal from the cosmic microwave background (CMB). …”
