Could we create a Zn-Br flow battery using Nicotinamide?

Zinc bromide flow batteries have been researched very extensively during the past 30 years. There are many advantages to this chemistry, very high potential (~1.8V), high efficiencies, symmetric electrolyte and low reagent costs. Nonetheless, the disadvantages are also huge: zinc dendrites, hydrogen evolution, bromine corrosion, etc. Despite all the development, a lot of these disadvantages remain insurmountable. A recent nature paper has disrupted the field by using sulfamate ions as a […]

Howard G. Smith MD, AM on Instagram: "Nicotinamide, Vitamin B3, Pills Prevent Skin Cancer Taking the pill form of Vitamin B3, nicotinamide, can cut a risk of skin cancer by more than half. Vanderbilt University dermatologists report this finding following their study of nearly 34,000 subjects in the VA health system and was recently published in JAMA Dermatology. Those in the treatment group of 12,000 plus took nicotinamine 500 mg twice daily for 30 days or more. The benefit was greatest for those who experienced one previous bout of skin cancer. For this group, the risk reduction was 53% for squamous cell skin cancers and 49% for basal cell skin cancers. The protective benefit diminished after each successive bout of skin cancer. Those who have experienced at least one bout of skin cancer should confer with their dermatologists about the advisability of taking prophylactic Vitamin B3 nicotinamide. It also can’t hurt to eat Vitamin B3-rich foods https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamadermatology/article-abstract/2838591?utm_campaign=articlePDF&utm_medium=articlePDFlink&utm_source=articlePDF&utm_content=jamadermatol.2025.3238 #skincancer #nicotinamide #squamouscell #basalcell"

A retrospective cohort study of ~33,00 U.S. veterans, ~12,00 of whom were supplementing with nicotinamide, found that the supplement reduced the incidence of skin cancer by 14%, or by as much as 50% when supplementation started after a first skin cancer.

Dietary supplement found effective for skin cancer prevention

The dietary supplement nicotinamide has been recommended by dermatologists for people with a history of skin cancer since 2015, when a clinical study with 386 participants showed that those who took the vitamin B3 derivative developed fewer new occurrences.
