AbstractHydrovoltaic electricity generator (HEG), which converts thermal energy from water evaporation into electrical energy, offers a promising solution for sustainable, low‐power applications such as remote sensors and wearable flexible electronics. However, current HEG suffers from poor deformation adaptability due to its reliance on the rigid ion transport interfaces of hydrovoltaic materials for electrokinetic effects, limiting its potential in wearable electronics. Herein, a stretchable paper‐based hydrovoltaic electricity generator (SP‐HEG) is developed by laser‐cutting an optimized kirigami pattern on paper functionalized with carbon black. The SP‐HEG can stretch up to 200% without compromising its electrical output (open‐circuit voltage of 1.2 V and short‐circuit current of 6.0 µA), as mechanical stress is evenly distributed and stable ion transport interfaces are maintained on the kirigami patterns. Moreover, the SP‐HEG can be used as a wearable energy supply device and self‐powered sweat sensor, with the advantages of stable output unaffected by deformation, sustainable power generation, and environmental friendliness. This study opens up a novel strategy to design deformable energy harvesters, broadening the potential applications of hydrovoltaic power generators in the wearable field.

Abstract2D transition metal carbides, nitrides, and carbonitrides (MXenes) are widely used in energy‐related fields, however, the instability of MXenes limits their application in supercapacitors. Currently, one of the main scientific challenges is how to modify MXenes to enhance their electrochemical performance. Compared to mono‐transition‐metal MXenes (MTMs), the large surface combined with multiple transition metals makes high entropy MXenes (HE‐MXenes) more appealing in energy storage. Here, a HE‐MAX phase, (TiVNbMoW)3AlC2, and a corresponding accordion‐like HE‐MXene are successfully synthesized by selective removal of Al from the HE‐MAX in aqueous hydrofluoric acid (HF). The addition of W allows the high‐entropy MAX (HE‐MAX) to reach greater lattice distortion than (TiVNbMo)3AlC2. It also successfully resolves the problem of inadequate configurational entropy in the M layer and expands the range of M layer. The accordion‐like HE‐MXene with open microstructure and high crystallinity provides multi‐channels for rapid ionic charge diffusion during interlayer ion insertion/extraction. Owing to these designs, the capacity retention rate is 98.7% after 10 000 cycles at 5 A g−1, demonstrating high stability throughout the charge–discharge cycling both in acidic and alkaline. The synthesis of HE‐MXene enriches the selection for energy applications and greatly increases the compositional variety of the MXene family.

AbstractThe development of easily synthesized high‐performance anode materials is crucial for the current energy storage (ES) field. Considering the potential of nitrogen‐doped core‐shell mesoporous carbon materials, a simple micelle‐induced high‐temperature pyrolysis method is employed to synthesize ultra‐high nitrogen‐doped (21.1 wt.%) core‐shell mesoporous carbon nanospheres (CYMCS). This material exhibits excellent volume expansion resistance, achieves a high reversible sodium storage capacity of up to 283 mAh g−1 at a current density of 0.1 A g−1, and maintains stable cycling performance for over 10000 cycles at a high current density of 5 A g−1. Moreover, previous research has provided limited insights into the specific mechanisms behind the low initial coulombic efficiency (ICE) observed in CYMCS and other related porous materials. To address this, the study not only delves into the electrochemical performance of CYMCS but also provides a comprehensive analysis of the formation mechanisms of the solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) and the electrolyte decomposition process, revealing the connections between these processes and their impact on ICE. Overall, this research not only offers new insights into the synthesis and performance optimization of CYMCS materials for sodium storage applications but also provides valuable guidance for the design of related carbon materials and strategies to improve ICE.

AbstractThe loss of active lithium during the initial charge process significantly reduces both the energy density and cycle life of lithium‐ion batteries. Cathode lithium replenishment is a promising alternative to lithium metal‐based prelithiation; however, the development of efficient cathode replenishment agents remains limited. Organic lithium replenishment agents offer advantages over inorganic counterparts, including superior air stability, abundant resources, and minimal solid residue after oxidation, providing high specific capacity comparable to lithium metal after degassing. Nevertheless, there is a need for diverse and effective organic agents. Herein, ketomalonate‐based organic lithium replenishment agents: dilithium ketomalonate (DLMT) and tetralithium ketomalonate (TLMT) with uniform spherical particles of ≈1 µm are developed. Both DLMT and TLMT demonstrate high lithium replenishment capacities and excellent compatibility with standard battery manufacturing processes. Their complete decomposition, coupled with uniformly distributed pores, preserves the structural integrity of the cathode and ensures stable electrochemical performance. Incorporating these agents into cathodes led to a 20.5% improvement in capacity retention after 500 cycles for LFP||Gr full cells and increased energy density by 5.7% for LFP||Gr and 7.2% for LMFP||Gr cells. The design of these novel sacrificial salts, emphasizing stability and high lithium replenishment efficiency, underscores their potential in high‐performance lithium‐ion batteries.

AbstractPolarimetric photodetectors hold significant promise in optical communication and polarization imaging applications due to their additional ability to detect polarization states of light. The strategy of multiple states modulation plays a crucial role in performance optimization and multi‐valued logic output, enabling higher information transmission density and clearer polarization recognition. Following this context, a Ta2PdSe6/MoTe2 semimetal/semiconductor heterojunction‐based polarimetric photodetector with multi‐control states that can enable the multi‐valued encoding communication and high‐contrast polarization imaging applications is developed. As dual‐electrically controlled states, the gate and bias voltages can significantly modulate the performance metrics. As a result, the device can be configured with tunable detectivity from 3.6 × 1010 to 2.19 × 1012 Jones and polarization ratios from 3.8 to 8.14 under 808 nm illumination. By further combining additional dual‐optically control states (light intensity and polarization angle), the device achieves four logic states output, thus realizing multi‐valued encoding optical communication with higher transmission efficiency and information density. Leveraging these four control states, a polarization imaging system capable of operating at different angles is also realized, with an enhanced degree of linear polarization from 0.51 to 0.8, allowing better differentiation of object features under different polarization states. This work demonstrates a polarimetric photodetector with multi‐control states, showing promising potential in high‐density communication and high‐resolution imaging applications.

AbstractHigher and richer nutrient requirements are typical features that distinguish tumor cells from AU: cells, ensuring adequate substrates and energy sources for tumor cell proliferation and migration. Therefore, nutrient deprivation strategies based on targeted technologies can induce impaired cell viability in tumor cells, which are more sensitive than normal cells. In this review, nutrients that are required by tumor cells and related metabolic pathways are introduced, and anti‐tumor strategies developed to target nutrient deprivation are described. In addition to tumor cells, the nutritional and metabolic characteristics of other cells in the tumor microenvironment (including macrophages, neutrophils, natural killer cells, T cells, and cancer‐associated fibroblasts) and related new anti‐tumor strategies are also summarized. In conclusion, recent advances in anti‐tumor strategies targeting nutrient blockade are reviewed, and the challenges and prospects of these anti‐tumor strategies are discussed, which are of theoretical significance for optimizing the clinical application of tumor nutrition deprivation strategies.

AbstractThe electrochemical CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) to valuable C2+ products emerges as a promising strategy for converting intermittent renewable energy into high‐energy‐density fuels and feedstock. Leveraging its substantial commercial potential and compatibility with existing energy infrastructure, the electrochemical conversion of CO2 into multicarbon hydrocarbons and oxygenates (C2+) holds great industrial promise. However, the process is hampered by complex multielectron‐proton transfer reactions and difficulties in reactant activation, posing significant thermodynamic and kinetic barriers to the commercialization of C2+ production. Addressing these barriers necessitates a comprehensive approach encompassing multiple facets, including the effective control of C─C coupling in industrial electrolyzers using efficient catalysts in optimized local environments. This review delves into the advancements and outstanding challenges spanning from the microcosmic to macroscopic scales, including the design of nanocatalysts, optimization of the microenvironment, and the development of macroscopic electrolyzers. By elucidating the influence of the local electrolyte environment, and exploring the design of potential industrial flow cells, guidelines are provided for future research aimed at promoting C─C coupling, thereby bridging microscopic insights and macroscopic applications in the field of CO2 electroreduction.

AbstractAir pollutants, particularly highly permeable particulate matter (PM), threaten public health and environmental sustainability due to extensive filter media consumption. Existing melt‐blown nonwoven filters struggle with PM0.3 removal, energy consumption, and disposal burdens. Here, an ultralight composite filter with a vertical ternary spatial network (TSN) structure that saves ≈98% of raw material usage and reduces fabrication time by 99.4%, while simultaneously achieving high‐efficiency PM0.3 removal (≥99.92%), eco‐friendly regeneration (near‐zero energy consumption), and enhanced wearing comfort (breathability >80 mm s⁻¹, infrared transmittance >85%), is reported. The TSN filter consists of a hybrid layer of microspheres (average diameter ≈1 µm)/superfine nanofibers (≈20 nm) sandwiched between two nanofiber scaffolds (diameter ≈400 nm and ≈100 nm). This arrangement offers high porosity (≈85%), ultralow areal density (<1 g m−2), alow airflow resistance (<90 Pa), guaranteeing superb thermal comfort. Notably, utilizing scalable one‐step free surface electrospinning technology, TSN mats can be mass‐produced at a rate of 60 meters per hour (width of 1.6 meters), which is critical and verified for various applications including window screens, individual respiratory protectors, and dust collectors. This work provides a viable strategy for designing high‐performance nanofiber filter media through structural regulation in a scalable, cost‐effective, and sustainable way.

AbstractAcute severe autoimmune hepatitis (AS‐AIH) is characterized by rapid progression and poor prognosis, with a current lack of effective targeted treatments. Stem cell therapy has demonstrated significant therapeutic promise across various autoimmune diseases. However, the intricate pathogenesis of AS‐AIH has hindered the widespread utilization of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in this domain. Herein, it is demonstrated that necroptosis, as the primary mode of cell death in AIH, is crucial in causing AS‐AIH. Inflammatory macrophages are the primary cell population involved in necroptosis. Inhibition of the specificity protein 1/sphingosine kinase 1/sphingosine‐1‐phosphate (SP1/SK1/S1P) axis is responsible for this phenomenon, leading to excessive activation of the intrahepatic immune system and aggravating liver damage. Furthermore, the S1P/S1PR2/YAP axis is the key pathway in initiating liver regeneration during AS‐AIH. S1P synthesized by hepatocytes is the primary source, and this process is also regulated by the SP1/SK1 axis. MSCs promote S1P synthesis by macrophages through the delivery of SP1, which inhibits necroptosis and synergistically enhances liver regeneration. In addition, MSCs also promote S1P synthesis in hepatocytes through the same mechanism, further aiding liver regeneration. These findings unveil the core pathogenesis of AS‐AIH and provide a theoretical foundation for using MSCs as a potential targeted therapeutic modality.

AbstractCircular RNAs (circRNAs) are a distinctive class of non‐coding RNAs with covalent closed‐loop structure, lacking 5′ caps and 3′ poly(A) tails. These molecules are prevalent in eukaryotes and play key roles in cancer. Here, the function of a new circRNA, circMETTL6, in ovarian cancer is identified and investigated. The prognostic significance of circMETTL6 is assessed using RNA in situ hybridization. Functional studies involving circMETTL6 overexpression are performed both in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistic investigations are performed using RNA‐seq, RNA pull‐down, RNA immunoprecipitation, co‐immunoprecipitation, chromatin immunoprecipitation, protein degradation assay and dual‐luciferase reporter assays. circMETTL6 is significantly downregulated in ovarian cancer, and its lower expression correlates with worse prognosis. Overexpression of circMETTL6 significantly inhibited proliferation, migration, and invasion of ovarian cancer cell in vitro, as well as tumor growth and metastasis in vivo. Mechanistically, circMETTL6 recruited the non‐POU domain containing octamer binding protein (NONO) by binding to its Coiled‐coil domain and disrupted its binding with RNA polymerase II subunit A (POLR2A), and consequently inhibiting growth differentiation factor 15 (GDF15) transcription, thereby suppressing ovarian cancer progression. These findings establish circMETTL6 as a novel tumor suppressor in ovarian cancer. Targeting the circMETTL6/NONO/GDF15 axis presents a potential therapeutic avenue for ovarian cancer treatment.

AbstractThe adult mammalian heart has limited regenerative capacity to replace lost tissue after a major injury. Forkhead box P1 (Foxp1) regulates embryonic cardiomyocyte proliferation and heart development. However, whether Foxp1 participates in postnatal‐injury cardiomyocyte proliferation and heart regeneration remains unclear. This study demonstrates that Foxp1 is downregulated at border zone cardiomyocytes of both neonatal apical resection and adult myocardial infarction. Analysis of the Single‐cell transcriptome database reveals reduced Foxp1 expression in the cardiomyocyte population with high regenerative capacity. Cardiomyocyte‐Foxp1 loss‐of‐function significantly promotes, whereas cardiomyocytes‐Foxp1 gain‐of‐function suppresses cardiomyocyte proliferation. Mechanistically, Foxp1 directly regulates ubiquitin specific peptidase 20 (USP20), a de‐ubiquitinase that prevents hypoxia inducible factor 1ɑ (HIF1α) degradation. Thus, Foxp1 regulates HIF1α and downstream heart and neural crest derivatives expressed 1 (Hand1) to control the cardiomyocyte proliferation via metabolic transition from fatty acid oxidation to glycolysis. Finally, cardiac type troponin T2 (cTnT)‐promoter‐driven adeno‐associated virus 9 (AAV9) for Hand1 induction in cardiomyocytes significantly promoted cardiac regeneration and functional recovery. These findings may provide novel molecular strategies to promote heart regeneration and therapeutic interventions for heart failure.

Published: February 2025

AbstractGraphene oxide (GO) is developed in various applications owing to its fascinating physicochemical properties. However, the weak photostability always leads to inevitable photolysis of GO during the use, storage, and application. Indirect photolysis has a significant impact on the structure of GO via causing fragmentation and degradation, while the pathway can be divided into two stages. In the early stage, photoreduction is the dominant reaction to generate porous reduction GO (PrGO). Then H2O2 breaks PrGO into fragments, and eventually, the fragmented GO is converted into CO2 by OH radicals. The generation of porous structures in early photoreduction is a crucial premise for the subsequent photodegradation, while GO flakes without porous structure cannot be broken by H2O2 and OH. In this work, a deep insight into the indirect photolysis pathway and the committed step is provided, which may bring some advanced ideas for enhancing GO stability in practical application.

Published: February 2025

AbstractDaytime radiative cooling presents a compelling technology, noted for its efficiency and environmental friendliness. Recent studies have focused on not only the cooling capacity but also the applicability and versatility of this technology. This study introduces a daytime radiative cooler as a sheet with exceptional cooling performance. Its matrix is composed of polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) and thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU), which are emerging organic materials suitable for radiative cooling. Furthermore, aluminum oxide (Al2O3) is employed as a supporting dielectric particle to enhance cooling performance. An Al2O3‐assisted organic composite (AOC) is created through electrospinning and hot‐pressing, resulting in a bendable sheet form. The AOC sheet demonstrates a light reflectance of 97.9% across the solar spectral region (0.3–2.5 µm) and an emissivity of 95.2% within the atmospheric transparency window (ATW) of 8–13 µm. The cooling power, derived from optical properties, is calculated to be 120.1 Wm−2. Experimental findings confirm the AOC sheet's capability to achieve 4.9 °C below ambient temperature and, when applied to a car model, to reduce the interior temperature by 12.7 °C.

AbstractThis work presents a computational screening approach to identify Li‐rich transition‐metal oxide sacrificial cathode additives and provides experimental validation of antifluorite‐structured Li6MnO4 as a potential candidate. Initial attempts to synthesize this compound result in low purity (≤40% by weight) owing to close thermodynamic competition with Li2O and MnO at low temperature. However, it is shown that a much higher purity of 85% by weight can be achieved by combining Li excess with rapid cooling from high temperature, which effectively stabilizes the Li6MnO4 phase. The synthesized product delivers a high irreversible Li release capacity that exceeds 700 mAh g−1 by utilizing combined Mn oxidation (Mn2+/3+ and Mn3+/4+) and O oxidation. These results demonstrate that Li6MnO4 may therefore be useful as a potential sacrificial cathode additive in Li‐ion batteries and motivate further investigation of other structurally‐related compounds. While attempts were made to synthesize two additional compounds among computationally screened candidates, it was not successful to experimentally realize the two candidates. The difficulty of experimental realization of the newly predicted materials remains a challenge and it is suggested that more efforts need to be devoted to developing computational techniques to precisely predict synthesizability and propose potential synthetic routes of the predicted materials.
