AbstractMyocardial infarction (MI) triggers a poor ventricular remodeling response, but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Here, the authors show that sentrin‐specific protease 1 (SENP1) is downregulated in post‐MI mice and in patients with severe heart failure. By generating cardiomyocyte‐specific SENP1 knockout and overexpression mice to assess cardiac function and ventricular remodeling responses under physiological and pathological conditions. Increased cardiac fibrosis in the cardiomyocyte‐specific SENP1 deletion mice, associated with increased fibronectin (Fn) expression and secretion in cardiomyocytes, promotes fibroblast activation in response to myocardial injury. Mechanistically, SENP1 deletion in mouse cardiomyocytes increases heat shock protein 90 alpha family class B member 1 (HSP90ab1) SUMOylation with (STAT3) activation and Fn secretion after ventricular remodeling initiated. Overexpression of SENP1 or mutation of the HSP90ab1 Lys72 ameliorates adverse ventricular remodeling and dysfunction after MI. Taken together, this study identifies SENP1 as a positive regulator of cardiac repair and a potential drug target for the treatment of MI. Inhibition of HSP90ab1 SUMOylation stabilizes STAT3 to inhibit the adverse ventricular remodeling response.

AbstractPhotoacoustic (PA) emitters are emerging ultrasound sources offering high spatial resolution and ease of miniaturization. Thus far, PA emitters rely on electronic transitions of absorbers embedded in an expansion matrix such as polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS). Here, it is shown that mid‐infrared vibrational excitation of C─H bonds in a transparent PDMS film can lead to efficient mid‐infrared photoacoustic conversion (MIPA). MIPA shows 37.5 times more efficient than the commonly used PA emitters based on carbon nanotubes embedded in PDMS. Successful neural stimulation through MIPA both in a wide field with a size up to a 100 µm radius and in single‐cell precision is achieved. Owing to the low heat conductivity of PDMS, less than a 0.5 °C temperature increase is found on the surface of a PDMS film during successful neural stimulation, suggesting a non‐thermal mechanism. MIPA emitters allow repetitive wide‐field neural stimulation, opening up opportunities for high‐throughput screening of mechano‐sensitive ion channels and regulators.

AbstractZinc–iodine (Zn–I2) batteries are promising, low‐cost and safe aqueous rechargeable energy storage devices. An iodide shuttle‐induced corrosion and poor zinc (Zn) stripping/plating often result in a limited battery lifetime, urges the development of multifunctional Zn anodes. To overcome these problems, here multifunctional Zn‐anode is demonstrated with shape‐programmability and uniform Zn morphology along low‐indexed (002) crystal plane, achieved by electrodepositing Zn on nitinol alloy (nickel–titanium, NiTi). It is found that the surface oxide layer on NiTi supports the uniform Zn deposition with densely packed and planar film formation that leads high corrosion resistance, while adopts the shape‐memory function. NiTi‐based device achieves extremely steady performance, benefiting from uniform and planar Zn morphology during cycling, whereas the Zn‐based device short‐circuits due to dendritic development under severe iodide corrosion. It is also demonstrated a flat‐shape‐programmed flexible pouch cell Zn–I2 battery (SP‐ZIB), which performs well in bent mode, recovers its original flat shape at elevated temperature, and shows consistent performance for validated cycles. The shape‐memory function of NiTi makes this Zn–I2 battery advanced by flexibility and shape‐programmable features. This study represents fresh insight for using smart materials as multifunctional features for the next‐generation Zn‐I2 batteries.

AbstractSolid‐state lithium metal batteries incorporating LiNixCoyMnzO2 (NCM) as cathodes are developed to meet the high‐energy‐density requirements of energy storage systems. Nevertheless, the process of plating and stripping of Li‐ions on lithium metal electrodes causes significant volume changes, in which ultimately degrade battery performance. In this study, an elastomeric electrolyte with special latitude‐longitude interwoven structure is designed and synthesized successfully, which is composed of a crosslinked phase as filler and a polymeric phase as skeleton. With the increase of polymeric phase, the electrolyte changes from an irregular wrinkle structure to latitude‐longitude interwoven structure. The optimal electrolyte ATPE‐1 with a predominant latitude feature demonstrates remarkable resilience of 800% stretchability and high room temperature ionic conductivity (1.72 mS cm−1). Therefore, the close contact and excellent compatibility with lithium metal anode enable the lithium symmetric cell with ATPE‐1 as electrolyte to maintain a stable and extended cycle life for over 2000 h. Additionally, the existence of the supramolecular interaction between the polymeric phase and crosslinked phase effectively increases the decomposition voltage of the electrolyte. A Li/ATPE‐1/NCM622 cell delivers superior rate performance under ambient conditions. This innovative elastomeric electrolyte offers a promising potential for the practical application in high‐performance solid‐state lithium metal batteries.

AbstractIt is necessary to increase the agronomic use efficiency of urea to reduce ammonia volatilization and increase crop yield. However, relying solely on urea for the enhanced efficiency technologies development could harm fertilizer integrity, resulting in reduced application quality and fertilizer storage time. The authors aimed at developing and characterizing the physical, chemical, and physicochemical quality of a novel enhanced efficiency fertilizers, synthesized from urea plus boron (B), zinc (Zn), nickel (Ni), or molybdenum (Mo) addition, with or without N‐(n‐butyl) thiophosphoric triamide (NBPT) associated. Hygroscopicity, hardness, salt index (SI), pH, and thermogravimetric decomposition were the parameters evaluated. Fertilizer quality was assessed through microscopic X‐ray fluorescence, microtomography, and scanning electron microscopy. Micronutrients were added by coating or granulation; they were homogeneously distributed over the fertilizer's granules. The fertilizers’ hardness increased up to 86% with Zn coated compared with uncoated. Granulated urea with B, Zn, Ni, or Mo had greater internal porosity, which resulted in lower hardness. Boron and Zn addition to the fertilizers increased the hygroscopicity in average 388% and 473%, respectively, compared with hygroscopicity observed for urea. Moreover, hygroscopicity was increased by an average of 56% with NBPT addition. Micronutrients addition to the urea granules increased the SI, while thermal decomposition stages of urea were unaffected by micronutrients addition. Enhanced efficiency fertilizers require characterization before agronomic efficiency tests due to changes in their physical, chemical, and physicochemical properties. Unfavorable changes could harm granules integrity and application efficiency in the field, resulting in economic losses to the industry and farmers.

AbstractHost‐guest complexation offers a promising approach for mitigating surface defects in perovskite solar cells (PSCs). Crown ethers are the most widely used macrocyclic hosts for complexing perovskite surfaces, yet their supramolecular interactions and functional implications require further understanding. Here we show that the dipole moment of crown ethers serves as an indicator of supramolecular interactions with both perovskites and precursor salts. A larger dipole moment, achieved through the substitution of heteroatoms, correlates with enhanced coordination with lead cations. Perovskite films incorporating aza‐crown ethers as additives exhibited improved morphology, reduced defect densities, and better energy‐level alignment compared to those using native crown ethers. We report power‐conversion efficiencies (PCEs) exceeding 25 % for PSCs, which show enhanced long‐term stability, and a record PCE of 21.5 % for host–guest complexation‐based perovskite solar modules with an active area of 14.0 cm2.

Published: July 2024

AbstractBenzophenone skeletons containing a carbonyl unit (O=C) have been widely used as electron acceptors in the thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) materials. Herein, we present a novel molecular design concept for TADF materials by transitioning from a carbonyl to an amide (O=C−N) skeleton as the acceptor. The amide unit, compared to its carbonyl counterpart, offers a more stable electronic configuration. Leveraging this insight, we have developed a series of high‐performance TADF molecules based on benzoyl carbazole and carbazoline acceptors. These molecules exhibit exceptionally small singlet‐triplet energy gaps and pronounced aggregation‐enhanced emission properties, achieving photoluminescence quantum yields in neat films as high as 99 %. Consequently, these materials serve as efficient emitters in non‐doped organic light‐eimtting diodes (OLEDs), reaching a maximum quantum efficiency (EQEmax) of up to 26.0 %, significantly higher than the 17.0 % obtained with benzophenone acceptor‐based TADF molecules. Additionally, they have been used as TADF hosts in narrowband red fluorescent OLEDs, setting a record‐high EQEmax of 22.4 %.
The Reconstruction of Bi2Te4O11 Nanorods for Efficient and pH‐universal Electrochemical CO2 Reduction

AbstractThe electrochemical CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) to generate chemical fuels such as formate presents a promising route to a carbon‐neutral future. However, its practical application is hindered by the competing CO production and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), as well as the lack of pH‐universal catalysts. Here, Te‐modified Bi nanorods (Te−Bi NRs) were synthesized through in situ reconstruction of Bi2Te4O11 NRs under the CO2RR condition. Our study illustrates that the complex reconstruction process of Bi2Te4O11 NRs during CO2RR could be decoupled into three distinct steps, i.e., the destruction of Bi2Te4O11, the formation of Te/Bi phases, and the dissolution of Te. The thus‐obtained Te−Bi NRs exhibit remarkably high performance in CO2RR towards formate production, showing high activity, selectivity, and stability across all pH conditions (acidic, neutral, and alkaline). In a flow cell reactor under neutral, alkaline, or acidic conditions, the catalysts achieved HCOOH Faradaic efficiencies of up to 94.3 %, 96.4 %, and 91.0 %, respectively, at a high current density of 300 mA cm−2. Density functional theory calculations, along with operando spectral measurements, reveal that Te manipulates the Bi sites to an electron‐deficient state, enhancing the adsorption strength of the *OCHO intermediate, and significantly suppressing the competing HER and CO production. This study highlights the substantial influence of catalyst reconstruction under operational conditions and offers insights into designing highly active and stable electrocatalysts towards CO2RR.

Published: July 2024

AbstractOwing to the significant latent heat generated at constant temperatures, phase change fibers (PCFs) have recently received much attention in the field of wearable thermal management. However, the phase change materials involved in the existing PCFs still experience a solid–liquid transition process, severely restricting their practicality as wearable thermal management materials. Herein, we, for the first time, developed intrinsically flexible PCFs (polyethylene glycol/4,4′‐methylenebis(cyclohexyl isocyanate) fibers, PMFs) through polycondensation and wet‐spinning process, exhibiting an inherent solid‐solid phase transition property, adjustable phase transition behaviors, and outstanding knittability. The PMFs also present superior mechanical strength (28 MPa), washability (>100 cycles), thermal cycling stability (>2000 cycles), facile dyeability, and heat‐induced recoverability, all of which are highly significant for practical wearable applications. Additionally, the PMFs can be easily recycled by directly dissolving them in solvents for reprocessing, revealing promising applications as sustainable materials for thermal management. Most importantly, the applicability of the PMFs was demonstrated by knitting them into permeable fabrics, which exhibit considerably improved thermal management performance compared with the cotton fabric. The PMFs offer great potential for intelligent thermal regulation in smart textiles and wearable electronics.
Large Molecular Rotation in Crystal Changes the Course of a Topochemical Diels–Alder Reaction from a Predicted Polymerization to an Unexpected Intramolecular Cyclization

Published: July 2024

AbstractA designed anthracene‐based monomer for topochemical Diels–Alder cycloaddition polymerization crystallized with head‐to‐tail arrangement of molecules, as revealed by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction (SCXRD) analysis. The diene and dienophile units of adjacent monomer molecules are aligned at an average distance of 4.6 Å, suggesting a favorable crystalline arrangement for their intermolecular Diels–Alder cycloaddition reaction to form a linear polymer. Surprisingly, heating the monomer crystals at a temperature above 125 °C resulted in the formation of intramolecular Diels–Alder cycloadduct, which could be characterized by various spectroscopy and SCXRD analysis. Various time‐dependent studies such as NMR, PXRD, and DSC, studies established that the reaction followed topochemical pathway. Schmidt's topochemical postulates are generally used to predict the topochemical reactivity and product, by analyzing the crystal structure of the reactant. Though the crystal arrangement predicted polymerization, upon heating, the molecule avoided this pathway by undergoing a large rotation to form an intramolecular cycloadduct. Theoretical calculations supported the feasibility of the rotation, exploiting the flexibility of the molecule and voids present. These findings caution that the reliance on Schmidt's criteria for topochemical reactions may sometimes be misleading, especially in heat‐induced reactions.

Published: July 2024

AbstractThe electrochemical reduction of CO or CO2 into C2+ products has mostly been focused on Cu‐based catalysts. Although Ag has also been predicted as a possible catalyst for the CO‐to‐C2+ conversion from the thermodynamic point of view, however, due to its weak CO binding strength, CO rapidly desorbs from the Ag surface rather than participates in deep reduction. In this work, we demonstrate that single‐atomic Pd sites doped in Ag lattice can tune the CO adsorption behavior and promote the deep reduction of CO toward C2 products. The monodispersed Pd−Agn sites enable the CO adsorption with both Pd‐atop (PdL) and Pd−Ag bridge (PdAgB) configurations, which can increase the CO coverage and reduce the C−C coupling energy barrier. Under room temperature and ambient pressure, the Pd1Ag10 alloy catalyst exhibited a total CO‐to‐C2 Faradaic efficiency of ~37 % at −0.83 V, with appreciable current densities and electrochemical stability, thus featuring unconventional non‐Cu electrocatalytic CO‐to‐C2 conversion capability.

Abstract
Limnoperna fortunei (L. fortunei) (Dunker, 1857), the golden mussel, is an invasive species possessing exceptional environmental adaptability and a destructive impact on water systems and artificial structures. To better conservation of freshwater ecosystems by controlling this mussel, it is essential to study its distribution, potential for invasion, environmental tolerance and biological traits.
This paper outlines the distribution of L. fortunei in Asia and South America, as well as its potential for future invasion in freshwater habitats, along with the research methods employed.
We find that the mussel had a temperature tolerance range of 8–35 °C and a pH range was 5–10, with some individuals surviving in extreme conditions for extended periods.
We find that temperature was a decisive factor for success at reproductive stages, larval development and adult growth.
The biological traits of L. fortunei are discussed, focusing on feeding habits, attachment characteristics and locomotion, with an emphasis on byssus structure, foot proteins and adhesion mechanisms. The study elucidates the impact of flow velocity, light exposure and substrate material on their attachment, with the optimal attachment being identified at a flow velocity of 0.3–0.9 m/s. Additionally, the mussel exhibits strong light avoidance performances and a preference for rough surfaces.
Extensively‐researched control strategies are classified and summarized, primarily categorized into physical, chemical and biological control, with an outline of their respective strengths and limitations.

To explore pressure effect on structure and resistance of electrode powder, the morphology and surface area of lithium cobalt oxide (LCO) powder under different pressure are investigated. Meanwhile, the real‐time stress, density, and conductivity of LCO powder upon compaction are tested by a self‐made detection system. Moreover, the battery performance of LCO powder after compaction is compared in coin cells. This work elucidates the relationship between compaction density, powder resistance, and electrochemical performance of cathode materials for lithium‐ion batteries.
