Published: November 2021

Background: "Electronic wastes" are discarded electrical or electronic devices which includes used electronics which are destined for reuse, resale, salvage, recycling, or disposal [1] Per year approximately 20-50 million tons of Electronic Waste are disposed of globally [2]. The effects of these electronic materials are far worse in counties liked India where most of the people are having poor economic status that leads to engagement in picking up and recycling of trash cans and other dumps and they are not equipped with any proper protective measures [3]. Electronic waste is emerging as a serious public health and environmental issue in India. India is the "fifth largest electronic waste producer in the world"; approximately 2 million tons of e-waste are generated annually and an undisclosed amount of e-waste is imported from other countries around the world [4]
Objectives: 1. To assess the awareness on ill effect of electronic waste among general population of selected urban community. 2. To associate the awareness on ill effect of electronic waste on health among selected urban community with a selected demographic variable.
Material and Methods: Research Approach: Quantitative Research Approach.
Research Design: Descriptive Research Design.
Setting of the study: The study was conducted at Aarvi Naka, Wardha. Population- General population of Aarvi Naka.
Sampling Technique: Non-Probability Sampling Technique.
Sample Size- 100.
Result: The result shows that 18% of the general population had poor level of awareness score, 38% had low level of awareness, 30% had average level of awareness and 14% of general population had high level of awareness score. Mean awareness score was 9.51±3.98 and mean percentage of awareness score was 47.55 ± 19.94. While dealing with the association of awareness score with their demographic variables, age in years of general population from selected urban community is statistically associated with their awareness score (p=0.05). Conclusion: In this study the findings of the study shows that there is no significant association of awareness level on ill effect of electronic waste on health with the demographic variables like gender, educational status, religion, occupation, monthly family income, marital status and home ownership; but there is a significant relationship with age of the corresponding samples.

Published: December 2024

AbstractIonogels as ionic conductors have attracted extensive attention due to their excellent ionic conductivity, good thermal and electrochemical stability, and favorable non‐volatility compared to conductive hydrogels. However, ionogels with excellent conductivity usually suffer from low strength and modulus. Herein, a facile yet effective strategy by compositing aligned cellulose fibers with ionogels is presented to achieve superior mechanical properties and high ionic conductivity. The triple hydrogen bond networks enable the ionic conductors to possess superhigh tensile strength (≈32.75 MPa) and Young's modulus (≈1354 MPa), as well as exhibit excellent crack‐resistant properties. Meanwhile, the ionic conductors with aligned cellulose fibers provide oriented hierarchical micro‐ and nanochannels for accelerating ion transport and thus can obtain a high ionic conductivity. Moreover, the ionic conductors exhibit high optical transparency (≈92%), good adhesion, and favorable flexibility. This work provides a straightforward and effective strategy for the development of high‐strength, high‐conductivity, and crack‐resistant ionic conductors.

AbstractAqueous Zn ion batteries (AZIBs) have attracted considerable research interest because they offer potential solutions for battery safety concerns, enable long‐duration energy storage, maintain cost‐effectiveness, and support diverse application scenarios. However, the electrochemical performance of AZIBs is hampered by inherent issues arising from water molecules present in water‐based electrolytes. Water molecules are a double‐edged sword in AZIBs, which could serve not only as the rapid transporter of Zn2+ ions but also as the instigator of anode corrosion, passivation, hydrogen precipitation, narrow electrochemical window, cathode dissolution, and exacerbation of zinc dendrite growth in aqueous environments. In light of these challenges, this review analyzes the fundamental principles underlying water molecules’ role in triggering water‐related problems. It then innovatively summarizes methods to mitigate water activity and alleviate interface issues from the perspective of “water repulsing” and “water trapping” including approaches such as interface protection, electrolyte engineering, separator modification, and so on, hoping to stimulate the imagination of researchers playing with water molecules. It should be clarified that the “water repulsing” and “water trapping” modification strategies do not exist independently, but are complementary with intersections. Finally, optimization strategies for mitigating water‐induced issues to realize high‐efficiency and commercially viable AZIBs are proposed, aiming to offer fresh perspectives and insights to advance AZIB technology.

AbstractFacial expression recognition (FER) is significant for daily mental health monitoring because facial expressions reflect an individual's mental condition. However, it is still hard to achieve accurate and convenient FER using wearable devices. Here, a high‐accuracy, self‐powered, and intelligent FER system is reported consisting of a triboelectric hydrogel sensor network to collect facial expression signals and a deep learning model to process and recognize the signals. The triboelectric hydrogel sensors are demonstrated to show excellent properties, such as 50% stretchability, 90% transparency, and a response time of 48 ms. With a 1D convolutional neural network, six basic expressions can be recognized with an average recognition accuracy of 99.44%. Finally, a 3D virtual character model is built on a computer to display real emotions synchronously. Compared with previous similar reports, this system can recognize more types of expressions with significantly improved accuracy. Therefore, this work can potentially not only help doctors to determine a patient's mental health condition through virtual communication while protecting the patient's privacy but also provide a highly promising approach for virtual telemedicine in the future.

AbstractThe demand for non‐invasive health monitoring with wearables poses challenges in developing sustainable, self‐powered systems, as current energy harvesters face issues like complex fabrication, low robustness, and insufficient power density for continuous biosensing. In this study, a wearable self‐powered biosensing platform combining a electromagnetic‐triboelectric hybrid generator (ETHG) with an advanced electrochemical sweat‐ion‐sensing patch is proposed. A Halbach magnet array within the electromagnetic generator (EMG) enhances magnetic flux concentration and power output, while advanced Nylon@polyallylamine and polyvinylidene fluoride@Co3O4 nanofiber films significantly boost the triboelectric generator's performance. Mechanical and theoretical modeling reveals an optimized power output of 328 mW for the EMG and 0.65 mW for the triboelectric component at 6 Hz. This hybrid approach not only enhances the power density but also simplifies the fabrication process and improves the charging performance and robustness of the system. To address potential drift in solid‐contact ion‐selective electrodes, nanoporous carbon ‐modified electrodes increase hydrophobicity, enhancing sensitivity for Na+ (56.1 mV dec−1), K+ (55.2 mV dec−1), and Ca2+ (30.8 mV dec−1), along with excellent performance in pH (69.7 mV dec−1) sensing. Integrating ETHG with a flexible microfluidics‐enabled patch enables real‐time on‐body sweat monitoring, with data wirelessly transmitted via Bluetooth, offering an efficient and robust platform for continuous health monitoring applications.

AbstractLithium–Sulfur batteries (LSBs) are widely regarded as one of the most promising energy storage systems due to their ultra‐high theoretical energy density and environmental friendliness. However, practical applications of LSBs face significant challenges, including the shuttle effect of soluble polysulfides and the formation of lithium dendrites. Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) have emerged as potential materials for inhibiting the polysulfide shuttle effect and buffering lithium dendrites. This review provides an overview of the latest advancements in the use of COF and its derivative materials as sulfur host materials, modified commercial separators, and electrolytes in LBSs, and makes some brief conclusions and predictions. Pure COFs, COF derivatives, and COF composites are discussed as sulfur hosts, along with novel strategies intended to enhance LSB cycling stability and reversibility. Strategies for enhancing LSBs performance are summarized through the modification of separators using COFs, with the ultimate goal of achieving high energy density. It also discusses the strategies for designing COF‐based electrolytes, which include structural design, use of ionic COFs, and introduction of lithium salt molecules or flexible oligo(ethylene oxide) chains into COF skeletons. Additionally, the review discusses some future prospects for the use of COFs and their derivatives in LSBs.

AbstractIn this paper, compact terahertz (THz) metachips for hyperspectral screening and quantitative evaluation of human cancer cells is reported. This pixelated resonant metachips feature the resonance channel from 1 and 3 THz frequency with a record‐high quality factor (up to 230). Through the interactions of various cancer cells of different concentrations, high‐dimensional spectral signatures are obtained, which are further transformed into a spatial map for labelling and quantification purposes. The screening of up to 15 cancer cells is experimentally reported, with very high detecting accuracy of 93.33% and with attractive quantitative concentration sensitivity up to 1320 kHz cell mL−1. This hyperspectral metachips are low‐cost, highly compact, and label‐free for fast, high‐throughput and high‐sensitivity detections and evaluation of human cancer cells. This technology does not require clinical experience, representing an accessible technology for early diagnosis of cancer.

Published: December 2024

AbstractElectrochromic materials have received a lot of attention due to dramatic growth of the smart window market and the demand in various emerging fields. In this study, WO3/Ni(OH)2 composite high efficient electrochromic electrode materials are prepared by hydrothermal‐annealing and electrodeposition methods. It is observed by experimental characterization that the deposition of Ni(OH)2 on WO3 rods effectively increased the Li+ diffusion rate of WO3 films (2.069 × 10−10 cm2 s−1), which is ≈1.5 times higher than that of pure WO3 (1.413 × 10−10 cm2 s−1). Meanwhile, WO3 and Ni(OH)2 have relatively matched energy level structures, showing high overall optical modulation performance. In addition, density functional theory (DFT) calculations combined with electrochemical studies reveal that the injection of double ions can improve the reaction efficiency of the electrodes and promote the redox reaction, which makes the electrochemical reaction more efficient. This paper provides a practical method for designing multi‐component electrochromic devices with excellent performance.

Published: December 2024

AbstractThe 2D van der Waals material CuInP2S6, characterized by its memory behavior arising from room‐temperature ferroelectricity and Cu+ ions migration, has emerged as a promising candidate material for artificial synaptic devices. Nevertheless, with a bandgap of 2.7 eV, CIPS‐based devices are generally limited to operating in pure electrical mode or under ultraviolet light, making them unsuitable for applications across the entire visible light spectrum. Here, a two‐terminal artificial synapse based on CIPS/MoS2/graphene heterojunction is constructed. Compared to ion migration or ferroelectricity under high bias voltage, photogating due to charge trapping is identified as the working mechanism under low bias voltage (< 1.5 V), which can respond to the shortest pulse (∼5 ms) and least energy consumption of 1.7 / 6.3 fJ per pulse up to date for CIPS‐based synapses. Benefiting from the fading memory effect and nonlinear characteristics in visible light range, handwritten digit recognition based on reservoir computing has achieved an accuracy of 90.43% with four times higher efficiency than directly using an artificial neuron network. This work thus paves the way for constructing CIPS heterostructure for artificial vision and neuromorphic computing systems.

AbstractLaser‐Induced Periodic Surface Structure (LIPSS) combined with a layer of liquid crystal (LC) shows electronically selective color in this research. LC spontaneously aligns in parallel to the LIPSS nano grooves. An in‐plane switching (IPS) LC cell with LIPSS‐processed indium tin oxide (ITO) electrodes is fabricated, and compared to a traditional IPS LC cell with rubbed aligning polymer. At the fist place, an LC cell providing tunable gray scale is expected. Surprisingly, the LC cell shows brilliant glowing colors, which changes dramatically from golden yellow to midnight blue when the voltage is applied. The polarized optical microscope pictures show that light is diffracted and propagating in the cell. With the transmission spectra, diffraction, multiple reflection, and grating‐assisted total internal reflection (TIR) are identified. The LC switches the polarization of light, turning the diffraction and TIR on‐and‐off. LIPSS provides not only alignment but also structural color, modulated by the LC. The grating‐assisted TIR opens up new possibility for waveguides and transparent displays. Fabrication of LIPSS LC cell is fast and clean. Only laser and cleaning is required, omitting large amount of toxic materials and hazardous waste. Efforts are made to offer an environmental friendly method to produce nano optoelectronics.

AbstractLiver metastasis is the main cause of cancer‐related mortality. During the metastasis process, circulating carcinoma cells hardly pass through narrow capillaries, leading to nuclear deformation. However, the effects of nuclear deformation and its underlying mechanisms on metastasis need further study. Here, it is shown that mechanical force‐induced nuclear deformation exacerbates liver metastasis by activating the cGAS‐STING pathway, which promotes splenocyte infiltration in the liver. Mechanical force results in nuclear deformation and rupture of the nuclear envelope with inevitable DNA leakage. Cytoplasmic DNA triggers the activation of cGAS‐STING pathway, enhancing the production of IL6, TNFα, and CCL2. Additionally, splenocyte recruitment by the proinflammatory cytokines support carcinoma cell survival and colonization in the liver. Importantly, both intervening activity of cGAS and blocking of splenocyte migration to the liver efficiently ameliorate liver metastasis. Overall, these findings reveal a mechanism by which mechanical force‐induced nuclear deformation exacerbates liver metastasis by regulating splenocyte infiltration into the liver and support targeting cGAS and blocking splenocyte recruitment as candidate therapeutic approaches for liver metastasis.

AbstractDenitrification and anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox) are the major microbial processes responsible for global nitrogen (N) loss. Yet, the relative contributions of denitrification and anammox to N loss across contrasting terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems worldwide remain unclear, hampering capacities to predict the human alterations in the global N cycle. Here, a global synthesis including 3240 observations from 199 published isotope pairing studies is conducted and finds that denitrification governs microbial N loss globally (79.8±0.4%). Significantly, anammox is more important in aquatic than terrestrial ecosystems worldwide and can contribute up to 43.2% of N loss in global seawater. Global maps for N loss associated with denitrification and anammox are further generated and show that the contribution of anammox to N loss decreases with latitude for soils and sediments but generally increases with substrate depth. This work highlights the importance of anammox as well as denitrification in driving ecosystem N losses, which is critical for improving the current global N cycle model and achieving sustainable N management.
