    Abstract The reversible elimination of hydrogen from metal hydrides serves as the basis for unique methods of energy transformation. This technology has found widespread practical utilization in applications such as hydrogen compressors, storage, and sensors, as well as batteries. Moreover, it is plausible that metal hydride technology could be utilized to provide practically viable solutions to the challenges of energy storage. For nearly two decades, an extensive, worldwide research effort has been devoted to complex metal hydrides possessing high volumetric and/or gravimetric hydrogen densities with the goal of their practical utilization as onboard hydrogen storage materials. Additionally, a significant and growing number of efforts have been devoted to developing metal hydrides as advanced sensors and ionic conductors, and for electrochemical and stationary energy storage

    Abstract Background and objective: In neuroimmune diseases, autoantibodies are not only used for diagnosis, but also as markers for assessing disease severity and treatment efficacy, and as variables in predicting the prognosis and in subgroup classification. Accuracy of an assay is a prerequisite for using antibodies in the diagnosis and management. The antibody positive subgroup is important in constellating phenotypes, while the antibody negative subgroup provides an opportunity for discovery of new antibodies. This review is to discuss the validation studies of diagnostic accuracy in antibody assays and reasonable definitions of antibody positive/negative subgroups in neuroimmune diseases.
    Methods: The literature discussing validation studies of diagnostic accuracy in antibody assays and reasonable definition of antibody positive/negative subgroups in autoimmune diseases was broadly searched and discussed.
    Key content and findings: The designs of a validation study, principles in defining the disease spectrum and biases, interpretation of the testing result and specific considerations for validation studies in neuroimmune diseases (such as phenotypes and inclusion criteria, control group selection, dynamic changes of antibody composition and sampling time, relationship between duration and severity of disease and antibody status, and pre-test factor), and improvement of antibody test techniques, as well as definitions and algorithms in defining antibody positive/negative subgroups in clinical practice and researches, are discussed.
    Conclusions: The successful implementation of validation studies of autoantibody assays in neuroimmune diseases depends on reasonable design, phenotypic profiles of included patients and potential inclusion bias, test result interpretation and the influence from inclusion criteria, control group selection, patient characteristics on specimen sampling and pre-test factors. Reasonable definitions on antibody positive/negative groups may be different in clinical practice and researches, and rigorous definitions are conducive to constellation of disease phenotype and the exploration of new antibodies within a disease entity.

    Abstract Our extreme and growing energy consumption, based on fossil fuels, has significantly increased the levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, which may lead to global and irreversible climate changes. We have plenty of renewable energy, e.g., sun and wind, but the fluctuations over time and geography call for a range of new ideas and, possibly, novel technologies. The most difficult challenge appears to be the development of the efficient and reliable storage of renewable energy. Hydrogen has long been considered as a potential means of energy storage; however, storage of hydrogen is also challenging. Therefore, a wide range of hydrogen-containing materials, with energy-related functions, has been discovered over the past few decades. The chemistry of hydrogen is very diverse, and so also are the new hydrides that have been discovered, not only in terms of structure and composition but also in terms of their properties. This has led to a wide range of new possible applications of metal hydrides that permeate beyond solid-state hydrogen storage. A variety of new hydrides, proposed as battery materials, has been discovered. These can exploit properties as fast ion conductors or as conversion-type electrodes with much higher potential energy capacities, compared to materials currently used in commercial batteries. Solar heat storage is also an area of great potential for metal hydrides, in principle offering orders of magnitude better storage performance than phase change materials. Recently, hydrides with optical and superconducting properties have also been investigated. This Special Issue of Inorganics, entitled "Functional Materials Based on Metal Hydrides", is dedicated to the full range of emerging electronic, photonic, and energy-related, inorganic, hydrogen-containing materials

    Abstract Background and objective: Neuroimmune disease is a group of autoimmune diseases that are directed against antigens of the nervous system. Autoantibody testing is of great significance in early diagnosis, clinical severity assessment, prognosis, and efficacy evaluation. With the discovery of new antibodies and the development of antibody detection techniques, multiple antibodies have been found to coexist in patients with neuroimmune diseases. In this narrative review, we aim to define the culprit antibody and discuss the correlation between culprit antibodies and the clinical phenotype of neuroimmune diseases.
    Methods: We searched Medline, Embase, Web of Science, and CNKI from inception to February 2021 to acquire references on the relationship between neuroimmune diseases and antibodies. Eligible articles were reviewed regarding the relationship between antibodies and phenotypes.
    Key content and findings: By reviewing relevant references and discussion, we propose the concept of "culprit antibody", namely, the pathogenic antibody which has a corresponding causal relationship with one or more phenotypes during the course of a patient's neuroimmune disease. The proposal, significance, and relevant clinical research of culprit antibodies related to neuroimmune diseases are elaborated as the proposal of concept and determination points of casual relationship, association with clinical phenotypes and core phenotypes, the role in antibody overlapping syndrome in the same patient, and different stages.
    Conclusions: In the era of precision medicine, proposing the concept of culprit antibodies and clarifying relevant evidence chains are helpful for precise and effective immune intervention.

    Abstract As one of the key features of two-dimensional (2D) layered materials, stacking order has been found to play an important role in modulating the interlayer interactions of 2D materials, potentially affecting their electronic and other properties as a consequence. In this work, ultralow-frequency (ULF) Raman spectroscopy, electrostatic force microscopy (EFM), and high-resolution atomic force microscopy (HR-AFM) were used to systematically study the effect of stacking order on the interlayer interactions as well as electrostatic screening of few-layer polymorphic molybdenum disulfide (MoS

    Abstract Background: Refractory secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) is a common complication observed in patients with end-stage renal disease and can result in ectopic calcification. Metastatic calcification involving the heart valves and the conduction system can easily lead to arrhythmias, including atrioventricular block. This case report describes a maintenance hemodialysis patient with refractory SHPT resulting in a complete atrioventricular block (CAVB), which was eventually reversed to a first-degree atrioventricular block.
    Case summary: We present the case of a 31-year-old Asian female who was receiving maintenance hemodialysis because of lupus nephropathy. She developed SHPT, and an electrocardiogram revealed a first-degree atrioventricular block. Then, she underwent parathyroidectomy (PTX) with autotransplantation. Unfortunately, a few years later, she developed SHPT again, and an electrocardiogram revealed a CAVB. A few years after the second PTX surgery, the calcification of the left atrium and left ventricle improved, and her CAVB was reversed.
    Conclusion: This case revealed that metastatic cardiac calcification can result in complete atrioventricular blockage. Following parathyroid surgery, calcification of the cardiac conduction system improved, leading to reversal of the atrioventricular block. It is important for dialysis patients to optimize intact parathyroid hormone therapy and pay attention to calcification metastasis.

    Abstract Piezoelectric energy harvesters are appealing for the improvement of wearable electronics, owing to their excellent mechanical and electrical properties. Herein, screen-printed piezoelectric nanogenerators (PENGs) are developed from triethoxy(octyl)silane-coated barium titanate/polyvinylidene fluoride (TOS-BTO/PVDF) nanocomposites with excellent performance based on the important link between material, structure, and performance. In order to minimize the effect of nanofiller agglomeration, TOS-coated BTO nanoparticles are anchored onto PVDF. Thus, composites with well-distributed TOS-BTO nanoparticles exhibit fewer defects, resulting in reduced charge annihilation during charge transfer from inorganic nanoparticles to the polymer. Consequently, the screen-printed TOS-BTO/PVDF PENG exhibits a significantly enhanced output voltage of 20 V, even after 7500 cycles, and a higher power density of 15.6 μW cm
