AbstractElectrolyte engineering to enhance the cathode‐electrolyte interface stability is widely recognized as a promising strategy for achieving high‐voltage lithium‐ion batteries, which are currently hindered by the meta‐stable surface of lithium‐rich layered oxides. Despite significant progress in electrolyte development, clear design guidelines for high‐voltage electrolytes remain lacking, making solvent selection unpredictable. Here, a dual‐descriptor tailoring concept based on Mulliken charge (adsorption) and Laplacian bond order (antioxidation) to identify ideal solvent molecules for high‐voltage electrolytes is proposed. This concept stabilizes meta‐stable transition metal atoms in surface tetrahedral interstices through interactions between bottom solvent molecules and cathode dangling bonds. Acetonitrile (AN) is eventually selected as a promising bottom solvent that interacts strongly with unstable surface bonds, improving interfacial stability. Consequently, the prepared 0.6 Ah graphite||LCO pouch cell using AN‐based electrolyte maintained a remarkable 80% capacity retention after 900 cycles with an average Coulombic efficiency of 99.92% at high cut‐off voltage. This work revisits the interfacial stability mechanism across different electrolyte classes, where strong solvent adsorption mitigates the instability of the meta‐stable Co spin state, reduces surface band overlap, and alleviates the instability of lattice oxygen at the interface. This dual‐descriptor‐guided design opens a new avenue for high‐voltage Li‐ion batteries is believed.

Published: February 2025

AbstractThe pursuit of sustainable, high‐performance organic ultralong room temperature phosphorescence (OURTP) materials with stimulus‐responsive properties presents a significant and enticing yet formidable challenge. Herein, an efficient strategy to confining boric acid‐based compounds into biomass macrocycle γ‐cyclodextrin through multiple interactions is developed, enabling the construction of high‐performance and multicolor OURTP doped systems. The synergistic effects of strong hydrogen bonding, C─O─B covalent cross‐linking, and host–guest encapsulation significantly suppress non‐radiative transition, culminating in an extraordinary lifetime and excellent phosphorescence quantum yield of 4.65 s and 32.8%, respectively, which are far superior to reported biomass RTP materials. Additionally, merging biomass macrocycle with phosphors contributes to multiple stimulus responses, overcoming the inherent limitations of degradation and recycling of organic RTP compounds, and dynamically modulating RTP signals through multiple‐stimulus responses, achieving the integration of multifunctional dynamic data processing techniques. This work will provide a direction for new environmentally friendly and potentially commercially available stimulus‐responsive OURTP materials.

Published: February 2025

AbstractThis study aimed to provide new insights into lithium (Li) sorption and extraction mechanisms by systematically investigating the structure, surface properties, and defect vacancies of both doped and undoped manganese oxide sorbents. HMnO and Al‐doped HMnO sorbents are successfully synthesized, and their formulas and vacancy ratios are determined using X‐ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Raman spectroscopy, thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and inductively coupled plasma‐atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP‐AES) characterization. Among the materials tested, HMO‐2.5Al exhibited the best performance in batch sorption experiments, enhancing Li⁺ sorption to 44.49 mg g−1 and reducing Mn loss to 3.38%. HMO‐2.5Al also demonstrated exceptional lithium selectivity in the simulated brine test, with separation factors of αLiCa, αLiNa, αLiK and αLiMg being 3.33, 353.08, 1327.44, and 6552.76, respectively. The sorbent displayed sustained durability before and after five cycles of sorption‐desorption. The ion exchange‐surface complexation model is employed to investigate the titration behavior, pH effects, and sorption isotherms, providing insights into the mechanism underlying Li+ sorption. A two‐stage sorption mechanism is proposed, involving a surface ion exchange reaction and a surface complexation reaction. Overall, the synthesized HMO‐2.5Al sorbents demonstrate significant potential for direct lithium extraction from solutions with high concentrations of coexisting ions and contribute a novel mechanism to the field of lithium extraction study.

AbstractA simple and efficient route to functionalize porous graphene is identified. The method enables the modification of porous graphene with varying surface properties ranging from lotus‐like superhydrophobic surfaces to slippery surfaces. The method offers a route to superior membrane fabrication with versatile industrial applications. The findings clearly show the possibility of fabricating superhydrophobic surfaces with porous graphene as a base, which is relevant for oil‐water separation and other membrane applications. The filament‐like structures observed on the functionalized graphene mimic the properties of a lotus leaf. The measured water contact angle (WCA) of these modified surfaces reaches values as high as 160° with a contact angle hysteresis (CAH) below 10°, allowing for easy roll‐off of water droplets. A Slippery behavior of the graphene surfaces is realized when the fibrillar structures on the graphene surfaces are infused with silicone oils. The work demonstrates the possibility of tuning the properties of graphene surfaces in a simple and efficient way and highlights possibly the first manufacturing method for graphene‐based Slippery Liquid Infused Porous Surfaces (SLIPS).

AbstractAn isotype heterojunction n+‐ZnO/n‐Si photodetector is developed, showing adjustable wavelength‐selective operation at self‐powered conditions. Without an external bias voltage, the device can operate either as a broadband UV–vis–NIR or as a NIR‐only photodetector, depending on the relative carrier concentrations of ZnO and silicon. In addition, the photodetector can be tuned to either broadband or NIR operation by the application of an external bias voltage, regardless of carrier concentrations. At negative bias, it demonstrates UV–vis–NIR photodetection, while at positive bias, NIR photodetection. Photovoltage and photocurrent measurements for pulsed illumination reveal a high‐speed self‐powered response, with rise and fall times <100 µs across the UV–vis–NIR. The device can be engineered to reproduce undistorted pulsed light with frequencies as high as 1 kHz. Self‐powered responsivity reaches ≈70 mA W−1, which becomes ≈4 A W−1 with an applied external bias.

Published: February 2025

AbstractRecent advances in acoustic metamaterials have overcome narrow‐band limitations, allowing for optimal tuning of key functions such as sound absorption and diffusion. However, most existing designs focus on single functions, leaving a gap in multi‐functional solutions that can address complex acoustic requirements. To fill this gap, a Dual‐Function Passive Acoustic Metamaterial (DFPAM) is proposed that effectively balances absorption and diffusion within the same structure by leveraging principles of causality and passivity. The DFPAM achieves high broadband sound absorption (〈α〉 ≈ 0.85) and diffusion (〈δ〉 ≈ 0.8), covering more than one octave in each configuration. With a compact thickness of only 12 cm, nearly half that of traditional treatments, this design uses just a fraction of the available space (1/3 for absorption, 2/3 for diffusion) while maximizing performance. This novel approach not only optimizes sound control but also provides a highly space‐efficient solution. The DFPAM offers transformative possibilities for room acoustics and can be adapted to diverse environments, including building and aerospace applications, where multi‐functional acoustic solutions are in increasing demand.

Published: February 2025

AbstractThe fast and scalable production of dielectric elastomer actuators (DEAs) remains the major bottleneck preventing the widespread use of DEAs. In this work, an ultra‐fast production method is presented for dielectric elastomer fibers which can reach industrial‐like extrusion speeds of up to 60 mm s−1 of fiber, leading to a production speed of up to 16.7 m of fiber per second or 216 m per hour. Electrode and high permittivity (' = 11.2) dielectric inks are used with a long pot life, but ultra‐fast cross‐linking at elevated temperatures. The process eliminates the need for tedious and time‐consuming post‐processing, as simple co‐extrusion and laser ablation enable the production of fully functional, high‐permittivity DEA fibers within seconds. This work represents a significant advancement in DEA manufacturing, transitioning from conventional layer‐by‐layer batch production to continuous co‐extrusion‐based manufacturing. To the best of the knowledge, this is currently the fastest method for fabricating fully functional DEAs in a single processing step.

AbstractThis study investigated white organic light‐emitting diodes (OLEDs) with a single emissive layer and comprising a hole transport material 1,1‐Bis[(di‐4‐tolylamino)phenyl]cyclohexane (TAPC) and two electron transport materials 1,3,5‐Tris(1‐phenyl‐1H‐benzimidazol‐2‐yl)benzene (TPBi) and 1,3,5‐tris(3‐pyridyl‐3‐phenyl)benzene (TmPyPB). The devices exhibited unique emission characteristics, from sky blue and orange exciplex emissions at low voltages to yellow electromer emissions at higher voltages. The combination of these emissions results in a distinctive white light output. To understand the origin of the white emission, time‐resolved photoluminescence and time‐resolved area‐normalized emission spectra analyses are employed. These techniques provided insights into the exciton dynamics in the OLED devices and facilitated the determination of mechanisms underlying the white light emission. The investigation highlights the significant effect of intermolecular bonding between materials, which enhances the understanding of the molecular dynamics associated with white emission. Notably, the findings indicate that TPBi facilitates the generation of tightly bound exciplexes owing to its rigid and planar structure, while TmPyPB promotes the formation of loosely bound exciplexes owing to its flexible and nonplanar structure. The observed temporal evolution of emission characteristics improves the understanding of white emission OLEDs with a simple structure and offers insights into the design and optimization of OLEDs.

AbstractPJA2 is documented to degrade various substrates. Nevertheless, the role of PJA2 as an E3 ubiquitin‐protein ligase in colorectal cancer (CRC) progression remains unexplored. The correlation between PJA2 mRNA levels and clinical characteristics is investigated using data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database. Quantitative real‐time polymerase chain reaction (qRT‐PCR) and immunohistochemistry (IHC) are utilized to evaluate PJA2 expression levels in CRC tissues. The biological functions of PJA2 are confirmed through colony formation assays and azoxymethane/dextran sulfate sodium (AOM/DSS) mouse model of CRC, among other experimental approaches. The underlying molecular mechanisms of PJA2 action are elucidated using RNA sequencing (RNA‐seq), co‐immunoprecipitation (co‐IP), proximity ligation assay (PLA), and chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP). Our research discovered that PJA2 is downregulated in CRC tissues and decreased PJA2 expression correlates with poor prognosis. Functionally, in vivo and in vitro experiments uncovered that PJA2 inhibits tumor cell proliferation and promotes apoptosis. Mechanistically, PJA2 recognized histone deacetylase 2 (HDAC2) via its RING‐B‐box domain (RBD) and bind to the N‐terminal of HDAC2, facilitating ubiquitination at the lysine 90 (K90) residue. PJA2‐mediated degradation of HDAC2 counteracts the transcriptional repression of the interferon‐induced protein with the tetratricopeptide repeats (IFIT) family, thereby suppressing CRC progression. The data demonstrates that PJA2 suppresses CRC progression through the PJA2/HDAC2/IFIT axis, and its expression is regulated by HDAC2, thus constituting a positive feedback loop. Consequently, PJA2 may serve as a potential therapeutic target for CRC, and interrupting this feedback loop can represent a viable treatment strategy to restrain CRC progression.

AbstractThe activation and infiltration of immune cells are hallmarks of ischemic stroke. However, the precise origins and the molecular alterations of these infiltrating cells post‐stroke remain poorly characterized. Here, a murine model of stroke (permanent middle cerebral artery occlusion [p‐MCAO]) is utilized to profile single‐cell transcriptomes of immune cells in the brain and their potential origins, including the calvarial bone marrow (CBM), femur bone marrow (FBM), and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). This analysis reveals transcriptomically distinct populations of cerebral myeloid cells and brain‐resident immune cells after stroke. These include a novel CD14+ neutrophil subpopulation that transcriptomically resembles CBM neutrophils. Moreover, the sequential activation of transcription factor regulatory networks in neutrophils during stroke progression is delineated, many of which are unique to the CD14+ population and underlie their acquisition of chemotaxis and granule release capacities. Two distinct origins of post‐stroke disease‐related immune cell subtypes are also identified: disease inflammatory macrophages, likely deriving from circulating monocytes in the skull, and transcriptionally immature disease‐associated microglia, possibly arising from pre‐existing homeostatic microglia. Together, a comprehensive molecular survey of post‐stroke immune responses is performed, encompassing both local and distant bone marrow sites and peripheral blood.

AbstractNoise‐induced hearing loss (NIHL) is among the most poorly treated diseases due to irreversible damage to hair cells. Reactive oxygen species contribute to NIHL pathogenesis by injuring the inner ear hair cells. Teriparatide (PTH1‐34) exerts antioxidant properties in the context of osteoporosis. Thus, in the current study, a multifunctional thermosensitive nanodelivery system is developed, based on the unique anatomical structure of the inner ear, to load and sustain the release of PTH1‐34 to alleviate hair cell damage. LR27—a fusion peptide—is assembled from a targeting peptide (A665) and cell‐penetrating peptide (Arg8) to target hair cells and increase the round window membrane permeability. In vitro, the antioxidant and anti‐apoptotic properties of the nanodelivery system are assessed after treating HEI‐OC1 cells and cochlear explants with hydrogen peroxide to simulate the oxidative environment. In vivo, injection of the nanodelivery system into the auditory bulb protects the hearing and hair cells of an NIHL mouse model. These results demonstrate the synergistic effects of multiple peptides in treating NIHL and their potential clinical applications.
