AbstractFe‐based sulfate materials have attracted much attention in the cathode of sodium‐ion batteries (SIBs) due to their low cost and high operating voltage, as well as possessing application prospects comparable to hard carbon in the anode based on Fe0/Fe2+/Fe3+ redox properties. However, the poor conductivity and the tendency to agglomerate have limited their further application. Herein, the study constructs a dual‐conductive structure that the Na2.31Fe1.72(SO4)3 particles with amorphous carbon in situ‐coated embedded in ketjen black (KB) conducting carbon networks (NFS/KB) via a solid phase ball‐milling strategy, which effectively enhanced inherent conductivity and electron transfer efficiency among particles of the Fe‐based sulphate. The NFS/KB can provide a reversible capacity of 92 mAh g−1 at 0.1 C and stable cycling stability at high current (85% retention after 500 cycles at 20 C) as cathode of SIBs. Surprisingly, as anode of SIBs, the NFS/KB delivers a rate performance (149 mAh g−1 at 10 C) that is superior to that of hard carbon. Notably, further application of the material to symmetric SIBs also achieves favorable results. This work effectively enhances the performance of Fe‐based sulphate materials in SIBs with a low‐cost carbon modification method, providing a new approach for the low‐cost symmetric SIBs.

AbstractAqueous zinc ion batteries coupling with conventional hydrogel electrolyte have the advantages of high safety, low cost, and simple manufacturing process while they are difficult for fast charging/discharging application scenarios due to the sluggish kinetics. Herein, a new strategy is developed for synthesizing a highly‐entangled polyacrylamide (HE‐PAM) hydrogel electrolyte to dramatically enhance the ion transportation and mechanical stability. The developed hydrogel electrolyte has lower ionic resistance and a strong elastic modulus. After being assembled into Zn/MnO2 batteries, the HE‐PAM hydrogel electrolyte exhibits excellent cycling stability and high‐rate capability under high current densities. Specifically, the Zn//HE‐PAM//MnO2 battery can resist the highest current of 35 A g−1, which outperforms previously reported works. Moreover, the HE‐PAM hydrogel electrolyte can also support the fast charging/discharging in proton ion batteries with a high capacity retention rate of 50% under 50 A g−1. This progress on hydrogel electrolytes can boost the development of quasi‐solid‐state batteries in the fast charging/discharging aspect.

AbstractThe practical use of solid‐state lithium metal batteries is hindered by the rapid growth of lithium dendrites through the solid electrolyte, leading to a short lifespan, and poor performance at high rates. The mass transport in anode bulk is proposed as a critical reason related to the chemo‐mechanical failure of the interface and growth of lithium dendrites. In this study, a lithium‐composite anode with a smartly integrated LiC6 phase is developed using a thermodynamic reaction between molten Li and thermally expanded graphite. The gravity segregation effect creates a gradient dispersion of LiC6 in Li, resulting in improved bulk Li diffusion kinetics (70 times higher than that of a pure Li anode). This composite electrode exhibits low interfacial resistance (≈2.3 Ω cm2) and an ultra‐high critical current density of 2.4 mA cm−2 in all‐solid‐state symmetric cells at room temperature. During repeated Li stripping/plating cycles, the enhanced bulk Li diffusion kinetics maintain the close interfacial contact, leading to excellent long‐term cycling stability for over 4000 h with a high cumulative areal capacity. These findings provide valuable insights that promoted mass transport in lithium metal anode is of great benefit to high‐performance solid‐state lithium metal batteries.

AbstractSolar‐driven interfacial evaporation toward highly salinity brine has drawn great attention due to its distinct advantages. Generally, most studies focus on how to improve the water evaporation rate while restrain the salt accumulation on evaporators. In fact, generating/recycling the salt during the evaporation process is of equal importance since the salt is also valuable. However, how to realize high salt generation rate while keep high water evaporation rate is still a great challenge, since high‐efficiency water evaporation and salt accumulation is conflicting in most cases. Herein, both high evaporation rate and high salt formation rate have been achieved via surface engineering of a 3D evaporator: 1) Constructing surround‐Janus structure with different wettability around a 3D evaporator; 2) Enhancing salt crystallization via introduction of tapes on special surface. Thanks to the distinct surface engineering, the water evaporation rate toward highly salinity brine (20 wt%) can reach up to ≈2.8 kg m−2 h−1, while the salt formation rate can be as high as ≈0.1 kg m−2 h−1. Moreover, the high performance can be well maintained even when the evaporator is irradiated with different angles. Specially, as a proof of concept, the potential of the 3D evaporator for Li+/Na+ separation is also demonstrated.

Abstract2D Dion–Jacobson (2D DJ) perovskites are considered as promising photovoltaic materials due to their structural stability and spacer designability. Here, a spacer cation with an aromatic imidazole ring, 2‐(1H‐imidazol‐2‐yl)ethylammonium (HE), is successfully applied to construct 2D DJ perovskite. It's found that the high polarity of the HE spacer strengthens the interaction between organic and inorganic layers and reduces the exciton binding energy to 67.8 meV, resulting in promoted charge dissociation, compared with the aliphatic 1,4‐butanediammonium (BDA) spacer with a similar length. The HE spacer enlarges the micelle size in precursor solution and suppresses the formation of low‐n value phases. In consequence, the HE‐based perovskite film exhibits better quality than the BDA‐based one, with lower defect density and longer carrier lifetime. The optimized device based on (HE)(MA0.75FA0.25)4Pb5I16 film achieves a champion power conversion efficiency up to 18.40%, much higher than that of the BDA‐based device (15.03%). Besides, the unencapsulated device based HE exhibits improved moisture and thermal stability.

AbstractTouch control intention recognition is an important direction for the future development of human–machine interactions (HMIs). However, the implementation of parallel‐sensing functional modules generally requires a combination of different logical blocks and control circuits, which results in regional redundancy, redundant data, and low efficiency. Here, a location‐and‐pressure intelligent tactile sensor (LPI tactile sensor) unprecedentedly combined with sensing, computing, and logic is proposed, enabling efficient and ultrahigh‐resolution action–intention interaction. The LPI tactile sensor eliminates the need for data transfer among the functional units through the core integration design of the layered structure. It actuates in‐sensor perception through feature transmission, fusion, and differentiation, thereby revolutionizing the traditional von Neumann architecture. While greatly simplifying the data dimensionality, the LPI tactile sensor achieves outstanding resolution sensing in both location (<400 µm) and pressure (75 Pa). Synchronous feature fusion and decoding support the high‐fidelity recognition of action and combinatorial logic intentions. Benefiting from location and pressure synergy, the LPI tactile sensor demonstrates robust privacy as an encrypted password device and interaction intelligence through pressure enhancement. It can recognize continuous touch actions in real time, map real intentions to target events, and promote accurate and efficient intention‐driven HMIs.

AbstractDirect‐current triboelectric nanogenerators (DC‐TENGs) arising from electrostatic breakdown have garnered significant attention due to their advantages of rectification‐free operation, constant current output, and high output power density. Previous studies have primarily concentrated on improving its performance through structural design and parameter optimization, neglecting the potential benefits of external charge excitation. Here, a facile and universal strategy coupling charge pump and electric field enhancing effect with DC‐TENG (CE‐DC‐TENG) is proposed to improve the output performance of DC‐TENG. An alternating current TENG is used as the charge pump. A field‐enhancing conductive layer, which is introduced under the main DC‐TENG, is connected with the pump TENG to accumulate the charge and enhance the electric field for electrostatic breakdown. The effectiveness of this method is demonstrated by linear and rotary sliding mode TENGs. Furthermore, a fully integrated rotary sliding mode CE‐DC‐TENG is designed and fabricated, and it exhibits impressive performance with a 13‐fold higher power density of 1.56 W m−2 compared to conventional DC‐TENG. Moreover, it can directly power small electronics or be combined with a designed power management circuit for more efficient energy conversion. This work presents a new design strategy for improving the performance of DC‐TENG and facilitating its practical applications.

AbstractRegenerative therapies, including the transplantation of spinal cord progenitor cells (SCPCs) derived from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), are promising treatment strategies for spinal cord injuries. However, the risk of tumorigenicity from residual iPSCs advocates an unmet need for rapid SCPCs safety profiling. Herein, a rapid (≈3000 cells min‐1) electrical‐based microfluidic biophysical cytometer is reported to detect low‐abundance iPSCs from SCPCs at single‐cell resolution. Based on multifrequency impedance measurements (0.3 to 12 MHz), biophysical features including cell size, deformability, membrane, and nucleus dielectric properties are simultaneously quantified as a cell is hydrodynamically stretched at a cross junction under continuous flow. A supervised uniform manifold approximation and projection (UMAP) model is further developed for impedance‐based quantification of undifferentiated iPSCs with high sensitivity (≈1% spiked iPSCs) and shows good correlations with SCPCs differentiation outcomes using two iPSC lines. Cell membrane opacity (day 1) is also identified as a novel early intrinsic predictive biomarker that exhibits a strong correlation with SCPC differentiation efficiency (day 10). Overall, it is envisioned that this label‐free and optic‐free platform technology can be further developed as a versatile cost‐effective process analytical tool to monitor or assess stem cell quality and safety in regenerative medicine.

AbstractThe broken inversion symmetry at the ferromagnet (FM)/heavy‐metal (HM) interface leads to spin‐dependent degeneracy of the energy band, forming spin‐polarized surface states. As a result, the interface serves as an effective medium for converting spin accumulation into 2D charge current through the inverse Rashba–Edelstein effect. Exploring and assessing this spin‐to‐charge conversion (SCC) phenomenon at the FM/HM interface can offer a promising avenue to surpass the presumed limits of SCC in bulk HM layers. Spintronic heterostructures are utilized as a platform to measure the SCC experienced by photoexcited spin currents. Therefore, FM/HM heterostructures emitting terahertz electric field upon illumination by femtosecond laser pulses enable quantitative measure of the ultrafast SCC process. This results demonstrate a robust interfacial spin‐to‐charge conversion (iSCC) within a synthetic antiferromagnetic heterostructure, specifically for the NiFe/Ru/NiFe configuration, by isolating the SCC contribution originating from the interface and the bulk heavy‐metal (HM). Through the measurements of the emitted terahertz pulse, the iSCC at the NiFe/Ru interface is identified to be ≈27% of the strength as compared to SCC from the highest spin‐Hall conducting heavy‐metal, Pt. The results thus highlight the significance of interfacial engineering as a promising pathway for achieving efficient ultrafast spintronic devices.

AbstractTransition‐metal‐catalyzed asymmetric α‐allylation of ketones is a particularly useful tool for constructing stereocenters via C−C bond formation. However, this type of reaction often necessitated the use of activated ketones or pre‐prepared enol intermediates as substrates. In this study, we developed a nickel‐catalyzed α‐allylation of unactivated cycloketones with allylic alcohols to synthesize chiral cycloketones with an α‐quaternary carbon center. The reaction affords the products with 42–97% yields, 72–86% ee, and no additive is needed, and the only by‐product is water.

AbstractIntravenous glucocorticoids are the clinically preferred treatment for moderate‐to‐severe thyroid‐associated ophthalmopathy. However, the serious adverse effects following intravenous glucocorticoids and the risks posed by the cumulative doses cannot be overlooked. Moreover, it is found to be ineffective in the treatment of many patients with severe thyroid‐associated ophthalmopathy. Consequently, the development of superior alternative therapies is imminent. Recent advancements in the identification of multiple autoimmune‐related targets have led to the utilization of novel antibodies such as rituximab, teprotumumab, tocilizumab, and batocliumab in clinical settings. They have shown great potential in enhancing the therapeutic effect of thyroid‐associated ophthalmopathy, minimizing adverse effects, and shortening treatment duration. Additionally, small molecule targeted drugs, such as single or double aptamers are rapidly developed to target the inflammatory microenvironment. In this review, the advancements in second‐line targeted therapeutic options for thyroid‐associated ophthalmopathy, providing a clinical rationale for immune mechanism‐based treatment of thyroid‐associated ophthalmopathy in the era of precision medicine are reported.

AbstractAdults with down syndrome (DS) have a lifetime dementia risk in excess of 95%, with a median age of onset of 55 years, due to trisomy 21. Co‐occurring Alzheimer's disease (AD) has increased morbidity and mortality, and it is now recommended to screen for AD in all adults with DS beginning at 40 years of age. In this manuscript, we present two clinical cases of adults with DS who developed AD summarizing their medical histories, presenting symptoms, path to diagnosis and psychosocial aspects of care collected from retrospective chart review with caregiver consent. These two cases were chosen due to their complexity and interwoven nature of the medical and psychosocial aspects, and highlight the complexity and nuance of caring for patients with DS and AD.

AbstractSex and gender—biological and social constructs—significantly impact the prevalence of protective and risk factors, influencing the burden of Alzheimer's disease (AD; amyloid beta and tau) and other pathologies (e.g., cerebrovascular disease) which ultimately shape cognitive trajectories. Understanding the interplay of these factors is central to understanding resilience and resistance mechanisms explaining maintained cognitive function and reduced pathology accumulation in aging and AD. In this narrative review, the ADDRESS! Special Interest Group (Alzheimer's Association) adopted a multidisciplinary approach to provide the foundations and recommendations for future research into sex‐ and gender‐specific drivers of resilience, including a sex/gender‐oriented review of risk factors, genetics, AD and non‐AD pathologies, brain structure and function, and animal research. We urge the field to adopt a sex/gender‐aware approach to resilience to advance our understanding of the intricate interplay of biological and social determinants and consider sex/gender‐specific resilience throughout disease stages.Highlights
Sex differences in resilience to cognitive decline vary by age and cognitive status.
Initial evidence supports sex‐specific distinctions in brain pathology.
Findings suggest sex differences in the impact of pathology on cognition.
There is a sex‐specific change in resilience in the transition to clinical stages.
Gender and sex factors warrant study: modifiable, immune, inflammatory, and vascular.

AbstractCatalytic removal of alkynes is essential in industry for producing polymer‐grade alkenes from steam cracking processes. Non‐noble Ni‐based catalysts hold promise as effective alternatives to industrial Pd‐based catalysts but suffer from low activity. Here we report embedding of single‐atom Pd onto the NiGa intermetallic surface with replacing Ga atoms via a well‐defined synthesis strategy to design Pd1−NiGa catalyst for alkyne semi‐hydrogenation. The fabricated Pd1Ni2Ga1 ensemble sites deliver remarkably higher specific mass activity under superb alkene selectivity of >96 % than the state‐of‐the‐art catalysts under industry‐relevant conditions. Integrated experimental and computational studies reveal that the single‐atom Pd synergizes with the neighbouring Ni sites to facilitate the σ‐adsorption of alkyne and dissociation of hydrogen while suppress the alkene adsorption. Such synergistic effects confer the single‐atom Pd on the NiGa intermetallic with a Midas touch for alkyne semi‐hydrogenation, providing an effective strategy for stimulating low active Ni‐based catalysts for other selective hydrogenations in industry.
