“…230 Gelling agents such as cross-linked carboxymethyl cellulose, starch graft copolymers, cross-linked polyacrylic acid polymer, and organic binders were also suggested to optimize and stabilize Zn electrodes. [231][232][233][234] During the discharge reaction of a Zn-air battery, Zn(OH) 4 2À is transformed into ZnO, which acts as an insulator. To develop a rechargeable Zn-air battery, the electrochemical behavior of the Zn(OH) 4 2À in alkaline solution has to be clarified.…”

Li-air(O2) and Li-S batteries have gained much attention recently and most relevant research has aimed to improve the electrochemical performance of air(O2) or sulfur cathode materials. However, many technical problems associated with the Li metal anode have yet to be overcome. This review mainly focuses on the electrochemical behaviors and technical issues related to metallic Li anode materials as well as other metallic anode materials such as alkali (Na) and alkaline earth (Mg) metals, including Zn and Al when these metal anodes were employed for various types of secondary batteries.

“…Although many individuals associated with `preservationist' organisations in the late Victorian period were liberals or socialists, it has been argued that in the interwar years they became more conservative. 102 By comparison, the rambling groups' focus on access is often seen as a more radical position informed by working-class concerns. The situation is less clear-cut than this, as some writers have indicated.…”

The Youth Hostels Association (YHA) was a formally non-political\ud organization founded to provide cheap accommodation for walkers\ud and cyclists. However, the YHA drew on, and was influenced by, values\ud and ideas which both attracted a particular kind of member and\ud informed its domestic political interventions. The article specifically\ud examines the connections between the YHA and other organizations,\ud aspects of the politics of membership relating to the concepts of\ud respectability and class and the political interventions of the YHA in\ud the areas of unemployment and the access movement

“…Popular writing, folk revivals, campaigns to preserve the countryside and to promote land reform, and critiques of urbanisation and modern living, all suggested that access to the countryside brought positive health and moral benefits. 27 Although these messages were never simply expressions of anti-urbanism, by the 1900s pastoral Sanitary Conditions and Images of Health in Victorian Rural Wales 189 imagery had taken on new meanings. In constructions of nationhood and in novels of the period, the countryside was viewed as an Arcadian symbol of nation, nature and health that promised mental and physical rejuvenation, an image which served to marginalise the needs of rural people.…”

“…Witnesses to the 1903 Royal Commission on Metropolitan Water Supply, for example, noted how rural authorities often allowed rivers to be polluted, while the shocking state of rural cowsheds and slaughterhouses generated alarm over diseased meat and milk as anxiety grew about rural 'decay' in the 1880s. 70 That the rural could become a source of urban contagion is illustrated by an epidemic of typhoid in Bangor in 1882, which killed eighty-nine people and damaged the town's reputation as 'one of the most healthy spots in the Kingdom'. Although the typhoid bacillus had been identified in 1880-81, germ theory continued to be disputed.…”

‘It might not be a nuisance in a country cottage’: Sanitary Conditions and Images of Health in Victorian Rural Wales

Although historians have become increasingly sensitive to the contested nature of public health and the limitations of sanitary reform, studies have concentrated on the urban. In focusing on rural Wales in the period from the creation of rural sanitary authorities in 1872 to the end of the nineteenth century, the essay shifts the focus to ask questions about what the rural means in the context of public health. By making connections between ideas about the Welsh landscape, nationhood and health, and the nature of sanitary problems facing rural communities and how rural sanitary practices came to be viewed, the essay shows how enduring representations of rural healthiness masked a ‘long tale of filth, neglect, carelessness and disease’ in rural Wales. The essay demonstrates how a bifurcated view of rural Wales as healthy and unhealthy reflected ideas about nationhood and the nature of rural conditions that rendered sanitary problems less visible when they occurred in a rural environment.
