A network meta-analysis of the comparative efficacy of different dietary approaches on glycaemic control and weight loss in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and overweight or obesity† Background: Despite considerable literature supporting the benefit of dietary interventions in individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and overweight/obesity, which diet works best is currently unknown.

Enabling Stable Aqueous Zn Metal Anodes by Scandium Acetate Electrolyte Additives The potential of zinc metal anode (ZMA) in emerging aqueous electrochemical devices like rechargeable zinc-ion batteries and hybrid capacitors is substantial, owing to its high theoretical capacity, low redox potential, non-toxicity, abundant availability, and cost-effectiveness. However, the practical application of ZMA faces limitations due to issues such as uncontrolled zinc dendrites growth and side reactions.

Trace Sc3+-electrolyte additive enabling stable Zn metal anodes for aqueous zinc-ion batteries† Trace Sc3+ additive (1.0 mol%) is shown to greatly improve the Coulombic efficiency and cycling stability of Zn metal anodes in aqueous ZnSO4 electrolyte due to the decreased nucleation overpotential and increased kinetics for Zn plating/stripping. Both Zn‖Zn and Zn‖V2O5 cells show enhanced cycling stability and rate capability in the Sc3+-modified electrolyte.
