Published: December 2024

AbstractMulticolor lanthanide‐doped polymers have found versatile applications in data encryption, sensing, and smart display. However, multiple components, sophisticated design, and complex preparation procedures are often required. In contrast, their intrinsic and multicolor fluorescence emission is been effectively used. Herein, Eu‐doped polyurethane (ETP@PU), integrating tunable multicolor emission, self‐healing, and multi‐responsiveness, is prepared through a facile route via step‐growth polymerization of PU using commercial Eu‐ligand (Eu(TTA)3Phen, ETP) as a fluorophore. FTIR and XPS analysis demonstrate the successful coordination of Eu3+ with carbamate groups of PU, which not only enhances the mechanical properties of PU but also bestows unique luminescent properties. With increasing ETP content, the intrinsic fluorescence of PU declines, while that of Eu displays a discernible enhancement, resulting in the tunable multicolor emission. The highest quantum yield of Eu‐related emission reaches 71.3% due to the robust coordination and efficient energy transfer between Eu3+ and PU. Moreover, the ETP@PU exhibits excellent self‐healing capacity and multi‐responsiveness, and their potential applications are also investigated in the field of light‐emitting diodes, data encryption, and self‐healing process monitoring. This work provides a facile and efficient strategy to develop multicolor lanthanide‐doped polymers promising for various applications.

Published: December 2024

AbstractSonothermal therapy (STT) has become increasingly attractive recently as a noninvasive, safe, and nonionizing methodology. STT, as a newly emerging heat‐enabled therapeutic approach, can rely on built‐in bubble cavitation and thermal energy‐electron recombination of sonothermal agents (STAs) activated by ultrasound (US) irradiation. In this domain, STT‐enabled nanomedicine is considered a potential treatment for abnormal cell killing and normal cell renewing, which addresses the drawbacks of nonspecific heating in conventional microbubbles, side effects, and poor tissue penetration of available thermal‐based therapies. Herein, a comprehensive review on the efficiency of STT in tumor ablation, infection therapy, and tissue regeneration is presented. Moreover, this review focuses on the benefits of STT as a therapeutic hot topic that can be used for nonantibiotic treatments, noninvasive heat‐activated tissue regeneration, and highly efficient local cancer therapy. In addition, rational design of STAs, mechanistic innovations, and prospects of STT will also be provided.

AbstractChemodynamic therapy (CDT) has become an emerging cancer treatment strategy with advantages of tumor‐specificity, high selectivity, and low systemic toxicity. However, it usually suffers from low therapeutic efficacy. This is caused by low hydroxyl radical (·OH) yield arising because of the relatively high pH, overexpressed glutathione, and low H2O2 concentration in the tumor microenvironment (TME). Herein, a probiotic metabolism‐initiated pH reduction and H2O2 supply‐enhanced CDT strategy is reported to eradicate tumors by generating ·OH, in which Lactobacillus acidophilus is coupled with CoFeCe‐layered double hydroxide nanosheets loaded with CaO2 nanoparticles (NPs) as a chemodynamic platform for high‐efficiency CDT (CaO2/LDH@L. acidophilus). Owing to the hypoxia tropism of L. acidophilus, CaO2/LDH@L. acidophilus exhibits increased accumulation at tumor sites compared with the CaO2/LDH. The CaO2 NPs loaded on CoFeCe‐LDH nanosheets are decomposed into H2O2 in the TME. L. acidophilus metabolite‐induced pH reduction (<5.5) and CaO2‐mediated in situ H2O2 generation synergistically boost ·OH generation activity of the CoFeCe‐LDH nanosheets, effectively damaging cancer cells and ablating tumors with a tumor inhibition rate of 96.4%, 2.32‐fold higher than that of CaO2/LDH. This work demonstrates that probiotics can function as a tumor‐targeting platform to remodel the TME and amplify ROS generation for highly efficient and precise CDT.

AbstractAs personalized medicine rapidly evolves, there is a critical demand for advanced biocompatible materials surpassing current additive manufacturing capabilities. This study presents a novel printable bioresin engineered with tunable mechanical, thermal, and biocompatibility properties through strategic molecular modifications. The study introduces a new bioresin comprising methyl methacrylate (MMA), ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA), and a photoinitiator, which is further enhanced by incorporating high molecular weight polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) to improve biostability and mechanical performance. The integration of printable PMMA presents several synthesis and processing challenges, necessitating substantial modifications to the 3D printing process. Additionally, the bioresin is functionalized with antibacterial silver oxide and bone‐growth‐promoting hydroxyapatite at various weight ratios to extend its application further. The results demonstrate the agile printability of the novel bioresin and its potential for transformative impact in biomedical applications, offering a versatile material platform for additive manufacturing‐enabled personalized medicine. This work highlights the adaptability of the novel printable bioresin for real‐life applications and its capacity for multiscale structural tailoring, potentially achieving properties comparable to native tissues and extending beyond conventional additive manufacturing techniques.

AbstractThe reduced structural complexity of atomically thin amorphous carbons makes it suitable for semiconductor technology. Inherent challenges arise from transfer processes subsequent to growth on metallic substrates, posing significant challenges to the accurate characterization of amorphous materials, thereby compromising the reliability of spectroscopic analysis. Here this work presents a novel approach: direct growth of ultra‐thin amorphous carbon with tuned disorder on a dielectric substrate (SiO2/Si) using photochemical reaction and thermal annealing process with a solid precursor. This work characterizes the amorphous carbon films' disorder using spectroscopic techniques, such as X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Electron energy loss spectroscopy, and Raman spectroscopy, which offer greater convenience compared to microscopy‐based studies. This method, rooted in comprehensive spectroscopic characterization, elucidates characteristic signatures inherent to the amorphous carbon films. These findings reveal that Raman spectroscopy is particularly effective in identifying the amorphous phase of atomically‐thin carbon. Additionally, I‐V characterization and high‐frequency dielectric measurements showcase the potential application of directly grown amorphous carbon films in the semiconductor industry, where nanometer‐level thin conductors and dielectrics are commonly utilized. This transfer‐free characterization method provides a useful tool to find the correlation between atomic structure and electrical/optical properties, giving valuable insights into comprehensive crystallographic fundamental research.

AbstractAs the focus on information security continues to intensify, encrypted imaging sensing technology becomes increasingly indispensable. However, the widespread application of encrypted imaging sensing technology is hindered by high manufacturing costs and complex system construction. Herein, an all‐inorganic perovskite/perovskite tandem self‐powered photodetector (PDs) is reported, incorporated with Bi2TeO6 layer to enahnce dual pyro‐phototronic effect, to realize an innovated encryption imaging sensing system with programmable logic gate. The PDs reach responsivity of 1.46 A W−1 and detectivity of 3.44 × 1013 Jones, the corresponding EQE reaches 342%, which is ≈75.48 times greater than that without pyro‐phototronic effect. The outstanding performance resulting from dual pyro‐phototronic effect in Cs2PbI2Cl2 perovskite and Bi2TeO6/CsSn0.5Pb0.5IBr2 interface, and optimizing band arrangement from the oxidized Bi2TeO6 layer. The photovoltaic and pyro‐phototronic signal of PDs can still be clearly distinguished under 8 kHz pulsed laser. More importantly, the encryption imaging sensing system achieves simultaneous outputs of triple image information, and their programmable optoelectronic logic gate can execute six distinct logical functions, including “OR”, “AND”, “XOR”, “NAND”, “NOR” and “XNOR”. This research not only provides a feasible strategy for realizing the outstanding pyro‐phototronic effect of all‐inorganic perovskite materials, but also presents novel insights for designing encrypted imaging sensing technology.

AbstractLaser ignition of primary explosives presents more reliable alternative to traditional electrical initiation methods. However, the commercial initiator lead azide (LA) requires a high‐power density laser to detonate, with the minimum laser initiation energy (Emin) of 2402 mJ. Currently, the laser‐ignitable metal complex‐based igniters still suffer from weak detonation capabilities and high Emin values. Here, the approach is first proposed to design laser ignition primary explosives within the high energy azide and tetrazole‐based energetic coordination compounds (ECCs), [Co(N3)(2‐bmttz)(H2O)]2 1 and [Co(N3)(2‐bmttz)(MeOH)]2 2 as additives to LA. Material 1e with 4 wt.% of 1 in LA, exhibits ultra‐low laser initiation threshold (Emin = 1.6 mJ) and ultrafast corresponding time (Tmin = 0.2 ms). Specially, compared to LA, the threshold of 1e is as low as 1/1500 of that of LA. Moreover, 30 mg 1e successfully detonates RDX with a laser energy of 1.6 mJ. Theoretical calculations and experiment results reveal that 1 exhibits the superior additive effect compared to 2, attributed to its more enhanced ability to generate free radicals and higher photothermal conversion efficiency under laser conditions. This work represents a paradigm shift, with the potential to develop a laser‐driven micro‐detonator combining powerful detonation capabilities with exceptionally low laser initiation energy.

AbstractFerroelectric transistors with a large memory window (MW) and operational stability have been of increasing interest recently. In this study, a ferroelectric thin‐film transistor (FE‐TFT) with a novel metal‐insulator‐semiconductor‐ferroelectric (MISF) structure is proposed. With the ferroelectric layer located under the semiconductor, the TFT process can be similar to a conventional coplanar structure with a SiO2 gate insulator (GI). In this work, both FE and active semiconductors are deposited by spray pyrolysis which is beneficial for large‐area and low‐cost manufacturing. The FE ZrO2 by spray pyrolysis has a nanocrystalline phase, and the semiconductor InGaO shows a polycrystalline structure. The TFT exhibits a MW of 5.6 V with an operating voltage range of −10–10 V. The device shows a low leakage current of 10−12 A, and thus the on/off ratio is >107 at VDS = 1.0 V. The device shows stable performance with increasing temperatures up to 80 °C. The endurance of the device is 5000 cycles at 0.1 Hz pulse with a negligible variation of MW less than 0.1 V, indicating excellent operational stability.

Published: December 2024

AbstractUbiquitous electronic gadgets in lives have led to an increase in electronic waste (e‐waste), posing a threat to the environment and ecology that must be addressed. This work demonstrates the use of gelatin, a natural protein, for development of flexible biodegradable substrates and synaptic transistors using the same material as gate dielectric. The fabricated p‐channel transistors exhibit high electrical stability and exceptional synaptic characteristics through spike timing dependent plasticity (STDP), spike voltage dependent plasticity (SVDP), and spike number dependent plasticity (SNDP), respectively upon variation of post‐synaptic current (PSC) with time, amplitude, and number of stimuli. These devices exhibit pulse paired facilitation (PPF) with relaxation time constants in the range of ≈10 ms and regulating modulation amplitude of 1 greatly resembling a biological synapse. Study on the variability among distinct devices and over multiple cycles demonstrate outstanding repeatability of synaptic plasticity. The devices showcase significant PSC values with almost linear SNDP, while consuming an ultralow power of ≈11.7 fJ. Excellent stability is observed when subjected to multiple bending sequences. Complete dissolution of these devices in aqueous environments in an hour without any alteration to temperature or pH confirms excellent biodegradability of these devices leading toward transient neuromorphic circuits and systems that adhere to the concepts of circular economy.

Published: December 2024

AbstractThe design of iridium(III) complex‐based photofunctional materials is challenged by commercial viability issues in organic light‐emitting diodes (OLEDs) and the limitation of polypyridyl structures for Ir(III) catalysts in photocatalysis. The burgeoning advancement of data‐driven science provides new solutions to this challenge. Herein, a three‐step data‐driven design approach is reported to target multifunctional red phosphorescent Ir(III) complexes. The approach uses machine learning and quantum chemistry calculations coupled with key excited‐state physical and chemical descriptors to identify the promising natural uracil‐based Ir(III) complexes from the self‐established “OLED Materials and Photocatalyst Database.” The newly designed red complexes demonstrate higher quantum yields and longer radiative lifetimes compared to their commercial counterparts. As photosensitizers, they display electron and energy transfer rates with substrates at the nanosecond level and are validated for lab‐scale photocatalysis. As the guests for OLEDs, their devices produce excellent red emission with low turn‐on voltages, minimal efficiency roll‐off, and decent electroluminescence efficiency. This research stands for an innovative endeavor in the data‐driven design of Ir(III) complexes, diverging from the traditional structure‐mimicking model, and can be generalized to the design of more photofunctional molecular materials.

Published: December 2024

AbstractHigh‐performing organic solar cells (OSCs) being processed in ambient conditions and possessing long‐term stability are desired toward commercialization. Here, resultantly bifunctional additive is proposed for organic active layer, which can greatly enhance humidity endurance during the air‐processing of the active layer and device stability in the meantime. Intriguingly, with 1% octamethyltrisiloxane (3Si) as the additive, casting PM6:L8‐BO active layer even in 90% relative humidity (RH) air could show comparable efficiency to that in N2 condition. Furthermore, the 3Si‐processed active layers also display remarkably enhanced thermal and light stabilities in conventional OSCs. After thermal aging at 85 °C for 1000 h and simulated solar light aging with UV band at 100 mW cm−2 and 55°C for 1000 h, the 3Si‐processed PM6:L8‐BO binary OSCs maintain 91.6% and 86.1% of the initial efficiency, leading to final averaged efficiencies of 16.17% and 15.42%, respectively. The results represent the most stable OSCs based on additive strategy. The universality of siloxane as a humidity‐resistant and stabilizing agent is also confirmed with other active layer systems, paving a way for broader application of the bifunctional additive.

AbstractIntensive dairy production in southern Idaho is associated with the annual application of manure to croplands. However, a one‐time heavy application of manure could alternatively be used as a means to improve soil fertility and health for years or even decades, circumventing the need for frequent applications. To determine if this practice would negatively affect soil properties in the short term, we analyzed chemical and biological indicators of soil health for 2 years after dairy manure incorporation. Soil indicators measured were pH, electrical conductivity, extractable nitrogen (N) and phosphorus, total carbon (C) and N, enzyme activities, net N mineralization, soil organic C, soil protein, active C, ammonia oxidation potential, and particulate organic matter. Manure (with and without synthetic fertilizer) was found to significantly affect chemical and biological indicators in both topsoil (0–15 cm) and subsoil (15–30 cm), but the responses were greater in the subsoil. This can be attributed to the fact that manure was incorporated to approximately 30 cm via moldboard plow. All indicators responded positively to manure, except pH, which decreased slightly in the subsoil in the first year after application. Principal component analysis of chemical and biological indicators, across all years and depths, showed that the first two components explained 62% and 8.5% of the variance. While soil indicators were not adversely affected by manure, silage corn (Zea mays L.) yields in year 1 were significantly lower in manured plots, though in year 2, barley grain (Hordeum vulgare L.) yields were statistically similar among manure and fertilizer.

ABSTRACTChronic hemolysis potentially elevates the risk of gallstones in several types of congenital red blood cell (RBC) disorders. However, the magnitude of the risk is unknown. We investigate the risk of gallstone disease in congenital RBC disorder patients, compared with general population comparators. Patients were identified from the Danish National Patient Registry covering all Danish hospitals and the National Reference Laboratory for RBC disorders during 1980–2016. Patients were matched by sex, age, and region of origin with up to 50 general population comparators. Gallstone events were identified using hospital‐registered diagnoses and surgery codes. Our study included 9354 congenital RBC disorder patients, grouped according to type of congenital RBC disorder, and 416 994 general population comparators. The cumulative 10‐year incidence of gallstone disease was 4.2% in patients with congenital RBC disorders and 1.7% among comparators. Adjusted csHR's [95% confidence interval] were 8.1 [6.8, 9.7] for hereditary spherocytosis; 3.3 [1.6, 6.8] for glucose‐6‐phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency; 21.6 [10.6, 44.1] for pyruvate kinase deficiency; 3.7 [1.9, 7.0] for sickle cell disease; 0.8 [0.4, 1.6] for sickle cell trait; 1.5 [1.1, 2.2] for α‐thalassemia trait; 1.8 [1.4, 2.3] for β‐thalassemia minor; and 2.1 [1.8, 2.6] for other congenital hemolysis. We found a markedly higher risk of hospital‐registered gallstone diseases in nearly all groups of patients with congenital RBC disorders compared with the general population.
