Therefore, the electrocatalyst achieves enhanced catalytic activity and longtime stability for ORR(a half-wave potential of 0.80 V), OER(an overpotential of 270 mV at 10 mA cm^(-2), i.e., η10= 270 mV)and HER(η10= 175 mV). Furthermore, the asymmetry water splitting system based on the CoS_(2)@MXene composites delivers a low overall voltage of 1.63 V at 10 mA cm^(-2). The solidstate zinc-air batteries using CoS_(2)@MXene as the air cathode display a small charge-discharge voltage gap(0.53 V at1 mA cm^(-2)) and superior stability(60 circles and 20-h continuous test). The energy interconversion between the chemical energy and electricity can be achieved by a self-powered system via integrating the water splitting system and quasisolid-state zinc-air batteries. Supported by in situ Raman analyses, the formation of cobalt oxyhydroxide species provides the active sites for water oxidation. This study paves apromising avenue for the design and application of multifunctional nanocatalysts.展开更多

Materials and Methods: We conducted a systematic integrative literature review based on a compre-hensive database search. To organise, categorise and synthesise the ex-isting literature, we adopted the affordance actualization theory. To align the literature with our research framework, we used four categories: 1) the functionalities of HIT and how these functionalities are measured;2) use and immediate outcomes of HIT functionalities;3) different perfor-mance indicators and how HIT functionalities affect them;and 4) what hospital characteristics influence the outcome of hospital performance. Results: Fifty-two studies were included. We identified four types of HIT. Only ten studies (19.2%) define the use of HIT by explicitly meas-uring the use rate of HIT. We identified five dimensions of hospital per-formance indicators. Every dimension showed mixed results;however, in general, HIT has a positive impact on mortality and patient readmis-sions. We found several hospital characteristics that may affect the rela-tionship between HIT and hospital-level outcomes. Discussion: Further efforts should focus on embedded research on HIT functionalities, use and effects of HIT implementations with more performance indicators and adjusted for hospital characteristics. Conclusion: The proposed framework could help hospitals and researchers make decisions regard-ing the functionalities, use and effects of HIT implementation in hospi-tals. Given our research outcomes, we suggest future research opportuni-ties to improve understanding of how HIT affects hospital performance. .展开更多
