A UV-activated exceedingly adhesive hemostatic biomimetic hydrogel stops high-pressure bleeding of beating heart in 20s without suture.Yesterday we reported a recent work from the Department of Chemistry on flexible zeolite-cotton fiber to stop external bleeding. To treat internal bleeding, the research team led by Prof. OUYANG Hongwei from the School of Medicine designs a biomimetic tissue adhesive product that can polymerize and adhere within seconds, and strongly bond to wet bi...

The first flexible zeolite-cotton hybrid fabric in the world show great procoagulant activity. Blood is the source of life and hemorrhage is the leading cause of mortality. Statistics reveal that approximately 1.9 million people die from excessive blood loss on a yearly basis worldwide. Therefore, the immediate and effective prevention of bleeding is essential to ensuring the survival of a patient with massive bleeding in pre-hospital care. Common first-aid approaches involve applying direct pre...

As a clean energy source, hydrogen is characterized as pollution-free, high in combustion value and abundant. Water can be split into hydrogen and oxygen via electrolysis. The electric/ photoelectrocatalytic oxygen evolution reaction (OER) process is a complex reaction process involving four-electron transfer, marked by slow-reaction kinetics and high overpotentials, thereby inhibiting the overall energy conversion efficiency.  Researchers have developed Iridium-based materials as state-of-...
