Increased pre-ablation level of ANP, BNP, NT-pro-BNP, IL-6, C-reactive protein, LDL, and TIMP-2 was associated with greater risk of AF recurrence after RFCA.

p‐type tetragonal zircon BiVO4 nanocrystal photocathodes (P‐BVO) and n‐type monoclinic scheelite BiVO4 nanoporous photoanodes (N‐BVO) are prepared by a hydrothermal method and an electrochemical synthesis method, respectively. Pt nanoparticles and cobalt‐phosphate (Co‐Pi) as co‐catalysts are loaded by an electrodeposition way to improve the photoelectrochemical (PEC) performance of BiVO4 (BVO) electrodes. After modification, a monochromatic incident photon‐to‐current conversion efficiency (IPCE) of P‐BVO/Pt at 360 nm is improved by 2.2 times, and the highest IPCE of N‐BVO/Co‐Pi at 440 nm is increased by 1.7 times. The calculated electron‐hole separation yield and the charge carrier injection yield of N‐BVO/Co‐Pi at 1.23 VRHE are further improved to 80% and 86%, respectively. The surface modification also results in the latest ≈0.2% half‐cell solar‐to‐hydrogen energy conversion efficiency (HC‐STH) for a P‐BVO/Pt photocathode and a higher ≈1.16% half‐cell applied bias photon‐to‐current conversion efficiency (ABPE) for an N‐BVO/Co‐Pi photoanode. Furthermore, the prepared photoelectrodes are proved to have excellent stability for water splitting. Above all, a tandem‐type PEC cell containing the newly developed P‐BVO/Pt photocathode and an N‐BVO/Co‐Pi photoanode is built for the first time, which evolves H2 and O2 at a stoichiometric ratio of 2:1 with a bias‐free STH of 0.14%.

Rechargeable magnesium–sulfur (Mg‐S) batteries are emerging as a promising candidate for next‐generation energy storage technologies owing to their prominent advantages in terms of high volumetric energy density, low cost, and enhanced safety. However, their practical implementation is facing great challenges in finding electrolytes that can fulfill a multitude of rigorous requirements along with efficient sulfur cathodes and magnesium anodes. This review highlights electrolyte design for reliable Mg‐S batteries in terms of efficient Mg‐based salt construction (cation/anion design of organomagnesium salt‐based electrolytes, optimization of all inorganic salt‐based electrolytes and choosing of simple salt‐based electrolytes), suitable solvent selection, and strategies for confronting corrosivity of Mg electrolytes. Before the comprehensive overview of the research status of Mg‐based electrolytes, the understanding of Mg–S electrochemistry and views on the recent progress and potential strategies for high‐performance S‐based cathode and Mg anode are also provided for a holistic insight into Mg–S systems. At the end, the perspectives on the possible research directions for constructing high performance practical Mg–S batteries are also shared.
