Abstract

Bone drilling in neurosurgical, dental, and orthopedic procedures, combined with the use of coolants, generates a dispersion of bone particles, coolants, and blood aerosols in the air. This poses the threat of airborne transmission of infectious diseases between patients and medical practitioners. Highly viscoelastic polymeric poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) and poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) solutions of various concentrations were used as coolants during bone drilling at different mass flow rates to suppress aerosol generation, thereby mitigating the threat of cross-infection. The results revealed that the PAA and PEO solutions provide less advection than water and a comparable cooling performance. However, excessive viscoelasticity of PEO causes the fluid to rise along the cutting burr (the Weissenberg effect), thereby reducing the cooling coverage area. In contrast, slightly lower viscoelasticity of PEO results in a high cooling coverage area. The cooling coverage area is smaller for the PAA at 20 ml/min because the corresponding PAA solution easily swirls or splashes away from the drilling location. However, at 80 ml/min, the supplied PAA solution sufficiently cools the drilling area, despite the loss through splashing. The numbers of atomized droplets of water and the PAA and PEO solutions were quantified and compared to investigate the degree of aerosol formation and dispersion. The solution with the strongest viscoelasticity most significantly suppressed aerosolization and produced the fewest dispersed aerosol droplets during bone drilling. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

The quest for sustainable and clean energy sources has intensified research on the Hydrogen Evolution Reaction (HER) in recent decades. In this study, we have presented a novel Ce‐doped TiO2 catalyst synthesized through the sol‐gel method, showcasing its potential as a superior electrocatalyst for HER in an acidic medium. Comprehensive characterization through X‐ray diffraction (XRD), X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Energy dispersive X‐ray (EDX), and Raman spectroscopy confirms the successful formation of the catalyst. Electrocatalytic performance evaluation, including open circuit potential (OCP), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), and Tafel analysis, demonstrates that GCE‐5wt.%CeTiO2 outperforms bare GCE, as well as Ce and TiO2‐based electrodes. Kinetic investigations reveal a Tafel slope of 105 mV dec−1, indicating the Volmer step as the rate‐determining step. The onset potential for HER at GCE‐5wt.%CeTiO2 is −0.16 V vs. RHE, close to the platinum electrode. Notably, the catalyst exhibits a low overpotential of 401 mV to achieve a current density of 10 mA cm−2 with an impressive 95 % Faradaic efficiency. Furthermore, the catalyst demonstrates outstanding durability, maintaining a negligible increase in overpotential during a 14‐hour chronoamperometry test. These results have far‐reaching implications for the development of cost‐effective and efficient electrocatalysts for hydrogen production. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
