Rechargeable solid-state sodium-ion batteries (SSSBs) hold great promise for safer and more energy-dense energy storage. However, the poor electrochemical stability between current sulfide-based solid electrolytes and high-voltage oxide cathodes has limited their long-term cycling performance and practicality. Here, we report

Hyperphosphataemia is prevalent among chronic renal failure and dialysis patients. It is known to stimulate parathyroid hormone and suppress vitamin D3 production, thereby inducing hyperparathyroid bone disease. In addition, it may independently contribute to cardiac causes of death through increased
