AbstractThe rapid development of the Internet of Things (IoT) has accelerated the advancement of indoor photovoltaics (IPVs) that directly power wireless IoT devices. The interest in lead‐free perovskites for IPVs stems from their similar optoelectronic properties to high‐performance lead halide perovskites, but without concerns about toxic lead leakage in indoor environments. However, currently prevalent lead‐free perovskite IPVs, especially tin halide perovskites (THPs), still exhibit inferior performance, arising from their uncontrollable crystallization. Here, a novel adhesive bonding strategy is proposed for precisely regulating heterogeneous nucleation kinetics of THPs by introducing alkali metal fluorides. These ionic adhesives boost the work of adhesion at the buried interface between substrates and perovskite film, subsequently reducing the contact angle and energy barrier for heterogeneous nucleation, resulting in high‐quality THP films. The resulting THP solar cells achieve an efficiency of 20.12% under indoor illumination at 1000 lux, exceeding all types of lead‐free perovskite IPVs and successfully powering radio frequency identification‐based sensors.

AbstractMiniaturized polarimetric photodetectors based on anisotropic two‐dimensional materials attract potential applications in ultra‐compact polarimeters. However, these photodetectors are hindered by the small polarization ratio values and complicated artificial structures. Here, a novel polarization photodetector based on in‐sublattice carrier transition in the CdSb2Se3Br2/WSe2 heterostructure, with a giant and reconfigurable PR value, is demonstrated. The unique periodic sublattice structure of CdSb2Se3Br2 features an in‐sublattice carrier transition preferred along Sb2Se3 chains. Leveraging on the in‐sublattice carrier transition in the CdSb2Se3Br2/WSe2 heterostructure, gate voltage has an anisotropic modulation effect on the band alignment of heterostructure along sublattice. Consequently, the heterostructure exhibits a polarization‐tunable photo‐induced threshold voltage shift, which provides reconfigurable PR values from positive (unipolar regime) to negative (bipolar regime), covering all possible numbers (1→+∞/−∞→−1). Using this anisotropic photovoltaic effect, gate‐tunable polarimetric imaging is successfully implemented. This work provides a new platform for developing next‐generation highly polarimetric optoelectronics.

AbstractIn the pursuit of artificial neural systems, the integration of multimodal plasticity, memory retention, and perceptual functions stands as a paramount objective in achieving neuromorphic perceptual components inspired by the human brain, to emulating the neurological excitability tuning observed in human visual and respiratory collaborations. Here, an artificial visual‐respiratory synapse is presented with monolayer oxidized MXene (VRSOM) exhibiting synergistic light and atmospheric plasticity. The VRSOM enables to realize facile modulation of synaptic behaviors, encompassing postsynaptic current, sustained photoconductivity, stable facilitation/depression properties, and “learning‐experience” behavior. These performances rely on the privileged photocarrier trapping characteristics and the hydroxyl‐preferential selectivity inherent of oxidized vacancies. Moreover, environment recognitions and multimodal neural network image identifications are achieved through multisensory integration, underscoring the potential of the VRSOM in reproducing human‐like perceptual attributes. The VRSOM platform holds significant promise for hardware output of human‐like mixed‐modal interactions and paves the way for perceiving multisensory neural behaviors in artificial interactive devices.

AbstractThe growing prevalence of Internet of Things (IoT) devices hinges on resolving the challenge of powering sensors and transmitters. Addressing this, supply‐less IoT devices are gaining traction by integrating energy harvesters. This study introduces a temperature sensor devoid of external power sources, achieved through a novel luminescent solar concentrator (LSC) device based on a stretchable, adhesive elastomer. Leveraging a lanthanide‐doped styrene‐ethylene‐butylene‐styrene matrix, the LSC yielded 0.09% device efficiency. The resultant temperature sensor exhibits a thermal sensitivity of 2.1%°C−1 and a 0.06 °C temperature uncertainty, autonomously transmitting real‐time data to a server for user visualization via smartphones. Additionally, the integration of LED‐based lighting enables functionality in low‐light conditions, ensuring 24 h cycle operation and the possibility of having four distinct thermometric parameters without changing the device configuration, stating remarkable robustness and reliability of the system.

Published: July 2024

AbstractThe combination of cuproptosis and immune checkpoint inhibition has shown promise in treating malignant tumors. However, it remains a challenge to deliver copper ions and immune checkpoint inhibitors efficiently and simultaneously to tumors. Herein, a mitochondria‐targeted nanoscale coordination polymer particle, Cu/TI, comprising Cu(II), and a triphenylphosphonium conjugate of 5‐carboxy‐8‐hydroxyquinoline (TI), for effective cuproptosis induction and programmed cell death‐1 (PD‐L1) downregulation is reported. Upon systemic administration, Cu/TI efficiently accumulates in tumor tissues to induce immunogenic cancer cell death and reduce PD‐L1 expression. Consequently, Cu/TI promotes the intratumoral infiltration and activation of cytotoxic T lymphocytes to greatly inhibit tumor progression of colorectal carcinoma and triple‐negative breast cancer in mouse models without causing obvious side effects.

AbstractAchieving efficient and large‐area organic solar modules via non‐halogenated solution processing is vital for the commercialization yet challenging. The primary hurdle is the conservation of the ideal film‐formation kinetics and bulk‐heterojunction (BHJ) morphology of large‐area organic solar cells (OSCs). A cutting‐edge non‐fullerene acceptor (NFA), Y6, shows efficient power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) when processed with toxic halogenated solvents, but exhibits poor solubility in non‐halogenated solvents, resulting in suboptimal morphology. Therefore, in this study, the impact of modifying the inner and outer side‐chains of Y6 on OSC performance is investigated. The study reveals that blending a polymer donor, PM6, with one of the modified NFAs, namely N‐HD, achieved an impressive PCE of 18.3% on a small‐area OSC. This modified NFA displays improved solubility ino‐xylene at room temperature, which facilitated the formation of a favorable BHJ morphology. A large‐area (55 cm2) sub‐module delivered an impressive PCE of 12.2% based on N‐HD usingo‐xylene under ambient conditions. These findings underscore the significant impact of the modified Y6 derivatives on structural arrangements and film processing over a large‐area module at room temperature. Consequently, these results are poised to deepen the comprehension of the scaling challenges encountered in OSCs and may contribute to their commercialization.

AbstractPremiseEvolution of cross‐pollination efficiency depends on the genetic variation of flower traits, the pollen vector, and flower trait matching between pollen donors and recipients. Trait matching has been almost unexplored among nonheterostylous species, and we examined whether the match of anther length in pollen donors and stigma length in pollen recipients influences the efficiency of cross‐pollination. To explore potential constraints for evolutionary response, we also quantified genetic variation and covariation among sepal length, petal length and width, stamen length, style length, and herkogamy.MethodsWe created 58 experimental arrays of Turnera velutina that varied in the extent of mismatch in the position of anthers and stigmas between single‐flowered plants. Genetic variation and correlations among flower traits were estimated under greenhouse conditions.ResultsStyle length, but not herkogamy, influenced the efficiency of cross‐pollination. Plants with stamen length that matched the style length of other plants were more efficient pollen donors, whereas those with the style protruding above the stamens of other plants were more efficient pollen recipients. Significant broad‐sense heritability (0.22 > hB2 < 0.42) and moderate genetic correlations (0.33 > r < 0.85) among floral traits were detected.ConclusionsOur results demonstrated that anther‐stigma mismatch between flowers contributed to variation in the efficiency of cross‐pollination. The genetic correlations between stamen length and other floral traits suggests that any change in cross‐pollination efficiency would be driven by changes in style rather than in stamen length.

AbstractTwo‐dimensional (2D) nonlayered metal compounds with porous structure show broad application prospects in electrochemistry‐related fields due to their abundant active sites, open ions/electrons diffusion channels, and faradaic reactions. However, scalable and universal synthesis of 2D porous compounds still remains challenging. Here, inspired by blowing gum, a metal‐organic gel (MOG) rapid redox transformation (MRRT) strategy is proposed for the mass production of a wide variety of 2D porous metal oxides. Adequate crosslinking degree of MOG precursor and its rapid redox with NO3− are critical for generating gas pressure from interior to exterior, thus blowing the MOG into 2D carbon nanosheets, which further act as self‐sacrifice template for formation of oxides with porous and ultrathin structure. The versatility of this strategy is demonstrated by the fabrication of 39 metal oxides, including 10 transition metal oxides, one II‐main group oxide, two III‐main group oxides, 22 perovskite oxides, four high‐entropy oxides. As an illustrative verification, the 2D transition metal oxides exhibit excellent capacitive deionization (CDI) performance. Moreover, the assembled CDI cell could act as desalting battery to supply electrical energy during electrode regeneration. This MRRT strategy offers opportunities for achieving universal synthesis of 2D porous oxides with nonlayered structures and studying their electrochemistry‐related applications.

Published: July 2024

AbstractCircularly polarized electroluminescence (CPEL) is highly promising in realm of 3D display and optical data storage. However, designing a groundbreaking chiral material with high comprehensive CPEL performance remains a formidable challenge. In this work, a pair of chiral polymers with self‐assembled behavior is designed by integrating a chiral BN‐moiety into polyfluorene backbone, named R‐PBN and S‐PBN, respectively. The chiral polymers show narrowband emission centered at 490 nm with full‐width half maximum (FWHM) of 29 nm and high photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) of 79 %. After thermal annealing treatment, the chiral polymers undergo self‐assembly, exhibiting amplified circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) with asymmetry factor (|glum|) of up to 0.11. Moreover, the solution‐processed nondoped CP‐OLEDs based on the chiral polymers as emitting layers exhibit maximum external quantum efficiency (EQEmax) of 9.8 %, intense CPEL activities with |gEL| of up to 0.07, and small FWHM of 36 nm, simultaneously. This represents the first case of self‐assembled chiral polymers that combines high EQE, large gEL value and narrowband emission.

Published: July 2024

AbstractBy applying automated high‐throughput experimentation, 63 precipitation polymerizations of divinylbenzene and methacrylic acid were performed with a total of 1638 samples analyzed by gas chromatography (GC), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The conversion of each reaction was investigated revealing the best substrate concentrations within the current setup. The GC evaluation was performed automatically via a new custom‐made Python script significantly reducing the time to evaluate the results. Furthermore, the particle growth was monitored by utilizing an innovative image recognition tool to identify particles and their respective sizes using SEM images. Furthermore, a statistical particle size distribution analysis was performed, which is hardly achievable in reasonable time by classical evaluation methods. Using this new procedure, the highest conversion (70%) as well as the largest particles (3700 nm) have been obtained utilizing a high initial monomer (5 vol%) and initiator (5 mol%) concentration. Accordingly, the smallest particles (245 nm) yielded from the lowest starting concentration (1 vol% monomer and 1 mol% initiator).

AbstractThe diverse morphologies of 2D transition metal dichalcogenides (2D TMDs) motivate their broad potential applications in the next generation of electronic, optical, and catalytic technologies. It is advantageous to develop controllable growth techniques that afford versatility through direct manipulation of the growth parameters. A fundamental understanding of the physical mechanisms driving various growth modes is crucial for achieving the process precision necessary for obtaining reproducible morphologies in 2D TMDs. Thermodynamic and kinetic considerations are two key physical strategies. Thermodynamic strategies mainly involve the manipulation of parameters like temperature and the chemical potential of precursors to ensure the thermostability of various morphologies. Conversely, kinetic strategies, focusing on the factors, like precursor diffusion, adsorption, and desorption during the growth, also enable atomic‐level kinetics control of the resulting morphologies. Often, an interplay of both mechanisms drives the growth of a particular morphology. This review aims to provide an updated guidance for exploiting these physical strategies in the versatile technique of chemical vapor deposition. The opportunities for further exploring the control of these physical mechanisms are discussed through recent examples with an eye on unlocking the untapped potential of 2D TMDs in areas such as phase engineering and shape control for advanced applications.

AbstractBackgroundPathologic perivascular spaces (PVS), the fluid‐filled compartments surrounding brain vasculature, may underlie cognitive decline in Parkinson's disease (PD). However, whether this impacts specific cognitive domains has not been investigated.ObjectivesThis study examined the relationship of PVS volume at baseline with domain‐specific and global cognitive change over 2 years in PD individuals.MethodsA total of 39 individuals with PD underwent 3T T1w magnetic resonance imaging to determine PVS volume fraction (PVS volume normalized to total regional volume) within (i) centrum semiovale, (ii) prefrontal white matter (medial orbitofrontal, rostral middle frontal, and superior frontal), and (iii) basal ganglia. A neuropsychological battery included assessment of cognitive domains and global cognitive function at baseline and after 2 years.ResultsHigher basal ganglia PVS at baseline was associated with greater decline in attention, executive function, and global cognition scores.ConclusionsWhile previous reports have associated elevated PVS volume in the basal ganglia with decline in global cognition in PD, our findings show such decline may affect the attention and executive function domains.

AbstractObjectiveExperiences of menopause and quality of life during menopause can vary extensively among women. While menopause has been associated with negative impacts on eating and body image, it is unclear to what extent quality of life differs by eating disorder risk status. The aim of this study was to explore how menopause symptoms and quality of life differ between those women at high‐ or low‐risk of an eating disorder and the potential protective role of body appreciation.MethodThis cross‐sectional survey study explored differences in menopausal quality of life, body appreciation, and body dissatisfaction among women classified as high‐ or low‐risk of an eating disorder as part of a wider survey on aging, health, and psychological complaints during midlife. Participants were 255 females aged between 40 and 60 years. Participants were classified as high‐risk and low‐risk of an eating disorder based on Eating Attitudes Test‐26 (EAT‐26) scores. Differences between groups on the Menopause‐Specific Quality of Life Questionnaire (MENQOL), Body Shape Questionnaire (BSQ‐16), and Body Appreciation Scale–2 were analyzed. The predictive relationship between menopausal quality of life and body appreciation was also explored.ResultsParticipants in the high‐risk group (n = 111) reported significantly poorer menopausal quality of life compared to the low‐risk group (n = 144), scoring significantly higher on the sexual, physical, and psychosocial subscales of the MENQOL. The high‐risk group also had significantly greater body dissatisfaction and less body appreciation than the low‐risk group. Overall, menopausal quality of life was a significant predictor of body appreciation.DiscussionWomen with greater eating disorder risk may be faring less well with menopause. Treating and preventing menopause‐related eating disorders will benefit from interventions aimed at not only reducing body dissatisfaction, but actively bolstering body appreciation and supporting the sexual, physical, and psychosocial aspects of the menopausal transition.
Scaling up a circular business model for remanufacturing: A case study of a sustainable value creation strategy for the white goods industry

Published: July 2024

AbstractBecause of the ever‐increasing pressure on producers to adopt environmentally responsible industrial practices, remanufacturing has emerged as a key strategy to address the challenges of resource conservation and waste reduction. In this paper, we address a conspicuous research gap regarding innovative and large‐scale circular solutions in the form of remanufacturing systems. We investigate how the private sector can build widespread remanufacturing networks to handle waste from the appliance industry. Starting from a successful case study of a leading Italian distributor of spare parts, our analysis expands their existing business model and inductively develops an original framework for regional remanufacturing. Our resulting model encompasses a centralised hub specialised in high‐tech data management and supply‐chain logistics, coupled with two tiers of remanufacturing labs and repairers, diffusing triple‐bottom‐line benefits throughout the local territory. We discuss the generalisability of such a centralised/decentralised model and propose avenues for the policy support of systemic circular innovations.
