This review comprehensively examines the current status and future perspectives of electrophoretic techniques in bacterial pneumonia detection, highlighting their potential to address limitations of conventional diagnostic methods. Recent advances in electrophoretic platforms, including capillary electrophoresis, gel electrophoresis, and microchip-based systems, have demonstrated promising capabilities for rapid pathogen identification and characterization. These techniques offer unique advantages in terms of separation efficiency, multiplexing capability, and analytical speed. Integration with mass spectrometry, fluorescence detection, and immunological methods has further enhanced their diagnostic potential. Notable developments include automated systems capable of simultaneous detection of multiple pathogens, point-of-care devices for resource-limited settings, and sophisticated data analysis approaches incorporating machine learning algorithms. Current applications range from direct pathogen detection in clinical samples to antibiotic resistance profiling and strain typing. The review also addresses critical challenges, including sensitivity limitations, standardization requirements, and implementation costs. Emerging trends in miniaturization, microfluidic integration, and advanced materials development suggest promising directions for improving diagnostic capabilities. Recent studies have demonstrated successful applications in detecting common pneumonia-causing pathogens such as Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae, and Mycoplasma pneumoniae, with reduced analysis times and enhanced accuracy compared to traditional methods. The integration of artificial intelligence and automated analysis systems has further improved result interpretation and diagnostic reliability. While technical and economic challenges persist, ongoing developments in electrophoretic techniques show potential for transforming bacterial pneumonia diagnosis, ultimately contributing to improved patient outcomes through more rapid and precise pathogen identification.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":13872,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Electrochemical Science","volume":"20 2","pages":"Article 100928"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143163354","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As a key research direction of electrochemical energy storage, supercapacitors are widely used in transportation information, industrial manufacturing, intelligent equipment and other fields with high power density, long cycle life and good safety The objective of this paper is to prepare p-phenylenediamine acetaldehyde is also known as Schiff base B. From there, we introduced metal ionic complexes (M=Al^3 +, Co²⁺, Cu²⁺) to prepare p-phenylenediamine glycolaldehyde-metal ionic complexes (Schiff base B-M,M=Al³⁺, Co²⁺, Cu²⁺). The Schiff base B-M polymer exhibited a finer structure and a higher specific surface area when compared to Schiff base B-M. Additionally, the Schiff base B's spherical structure was destroyed, exposing more of the electrode material's active sites. This led to the formation of richer ion channels between the electrolyte ions in the electrolyte and the electrode material, ultimately improving the capacitive performance. Cyclic voltammetry (CV), constant current charge/discharge (GCD), and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) were used to assess the electrochemical performance of Schiff base B-M. The findings demonstrated a significant increase in the specific capacitance of the Schiff base B-M electrode material when compared to the Schiff base B electrode material, suggesting that the doping of metal ions can raise the specific capacitance of poly-Schiff bases. The Schiff base B-Cu electrode material had the best multiplicative performance, with a specific capacitance of 52 F/g at 10 A/g and a multiplicative performance of 50.2 %, while the Schiff base B-Co had a specific capacitance of 38 F/g with a multiplicative performance of Schiff base B-Cu had a specific capacitance of 52 F/g at 10 A/g with a multiplicative performance of 50.2 %, while Schiff base B-Co had a multiplicative performance of 38 F/g with a multiplicative performance of 28.5 %, and Schiff base B-Al had a multiplicative performance of 28 F/g with a multiplicative performance of 23.3 % only.

As the number of coating layers is increased, the electrochemically active surface area and electrocatalytic activity of the anode are enhanced, and the accelerated lifetime of the anode is prolonged. The anode with 12 layers shows the highest utilization efficiency of the coating. The residual oxide coating after failure of the anode is increased with adding layers.

Heterogeneous catalysis is essential in several industrial processes and has various practical applications, such as protecting the environment, power generation, synthesis of chemicals, and the manufacturing of biodiesel.

The heterogeneous catalysts employed in many chemical applications are either porous materials or are created as microscopic particles with a few nanometers diameter coated on a porous substrate like silica or alumina. Mathematical modeling of such phenomena involves nonlinear boundary value problems, with necessitating approximate solutions due to their complexity.
