AbstractLaboratory‐scale all‐polymer solar cells (all‐PSCs) have exhibited remarkable power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) exceeding 19%. However, the utilization of hazardous solvents and nonvolatile liquid additives poses challenges for eco‐friendly commercialization, resulting in the trade‐off between device efficiency and operation stability. Herein, an innovative approach based on isomerized solid additive engineering is proposed, employing volatile dithienothiophene (DTT) isomers to modulate intermolecular interactions and facilitate molecular stacking within the photoactive layers. Through elucidating the underlying principles of the DTT‐induced polymer assembly on molecular level, a PCE of 18.72% is achieved for devices processed with environmentally benign solvents, ranking it among the highest record values for eco‐friendly all‐PSCs. Significantly, such superiorities of the DTT‐isomerized strategy afford excellent compatibility with large‐area blade‐coating techniques, offering a promising pathway for industrial‐scale manufacturing of all‐PSCs. Moreover, these devices demonstrate enhanced thermal stability with a promising extrapolated T80 lifetime of 14 000 h, further bolstering their potential for sustainable technological advancement.

Published: October 2023

AbstractPaper, an inexpensive material with natural biocompatibility, non‐toxicity, and biodegradability, allows for affordable and cost‐effective substrates for unconventional advanced electronics, often called papertronics. On the other hand, polymeric elastomers have shown to be an excellent success for substrates of soft bioelectronics, providing stretchability in skin wearable technology for continuous sensing applications. Although both materials hold their unique advantageous characteristics, merging both material properties into a single electronic substrate reimagines paper‐based bioelectronics for wearable and patchable applications in biosensing, energy generation and storage, soft actuators, and more. Here, a breathable, light‐weighted, biocompatible engineered stretchable paper is reported via coaxial nonwoven microfibers for unconventional bioelectronic substrates. The stretchable papers allow intimate bioconformability without adhesive through coaxial electrospinning of a cellulose acetate polymer (sheath) and a silicone elastomer (core). The fabricated cellulose‐silicone fibers exhibit a greater percent strain than commercially available paper while retaining hydrophilicity, biocompatibility, combustibility, disposable, and other natural characteristics of paper. Moreover, the nonwoven stretchable cellulose‐silicone fibrous mat can adapt conventional printing and fabrication process for paper‐based electronics, an essential aspect of advanced bioelectronic manufacturing.

AbstractFlexible pressure sensors are playing an emerging role in artificial intelligence and electronic skin. However, developing a high‐performance, flexible pressure sensor through a reusable and straightforward manufacturing approach still remains a challenge. In this study, a highly sensitive, flexible capacitive pressure sensor based on a fabric‐mould strategy is introduced. Custom square‐conical arrays with Au electrodes can feasibly be fabricated at scale by peeling them off the fabric mould. The fabricated pressure sensor exhibits a high sensitivity of 5.829 kPa−1 (0–0.444 kPa) and a rapid response/recovery time of 160/70 ms. Notably, the sensor has an ultralow detection limit of 0.24 Pa, showing great potential for extremely sensitive pressure detection applications, such as water leakage monitoring. Finite element analysis, grounded on 3D‐scanning reconstruction, reveals that the enhanced sensing performance can be attributed to the contact surface of the square‐conical arrays. Moreover, the pressure sensors can accurately identify human physiological information, as well as the spatial distribution and shape of objects, further highlighting the promise for wearable electronic devices. This work not only offers a new approach for large‐scale fabrication of micro‐structures at low cost but also provides a new insight into the optimization of structures for sensitive pressure sensors.

AbstractTernary indium (In)‐based metal halides are gaining increased attention as promising lead (Pb)‐free alternatives for light‐emitting diodes (LEDs) owing to their broadband emission and high photoluminescence quantum yields (PLQYs). However, most of the pure In‐based compositions suffer from instability against moisture and thermal stress, leading to a rapid degradation of material and hence their optical properties. Herein, a new kind of organic–inorganic hybrid In‐based metal halide BA6InCl9 (BA+ = C4H11N+) is presented, which exhibits stable crystal structure and material composition at both ambient (over 5 months) and heating conditions (up to 200 °C). Besides, the Huang‐Rhys factor of ≈4.94 determined for BA6InCl9 is considerably smaller than most Pb‐free perovskites, which suggests a relatively weak exciton‐phonon coupling in these crystals. By trace amounts of antimony (III) (Sb3+) doping, the PLQY of the BA6InCl9 single crystals can be markedly improved from ≈25% to 95%, and the ensuing down‐conversion LEDs exhibit bright orange‐red emission with an external quantum efficiency of 0.12%, which retains ≈50% of the initial luminance after 380 min of continuous operation in ambient air. It is forseen that the study will prompt future research on In‐based metal halides and their use in stable light‐emitting applications.

Published: October 2023

AbstractThis study displays the emissivities and optical properties of thin‐film metallic glasses in the thermal infrared (IR) region. It is found that the amorphous structure of the metallic glass hinders the movement of electrons, leading to unique optical properties in the thermal IR region. Measurements of the optical constants of NiNb thin‐film metallic glasses reveal that a high processing pressure and sputtering power yield high optical conductivity and a low damping constant. Adjusting the parameters of the sputtering processes allows the fabrication of thin‐film metallic glasses with a range of damping constants and also the change in the reflectance and emissivity. Applying optical thin film theory, the emissivity of thin‐film metallic glass in the thermal IR region can be modulated. The measured emissivity of the thin‐film metallic glass (45.35%) is significantly enhanced when compared with that of a Si substrate or metal film. Furthermore, the cooling ability of the optimal metallic glass is much higher than that of Si and metal films. These findings reveal that metallic glass films can display thermal radiative properties superior to those of metals and semiconductors, making them promising materials for use in electronic devices with excellent mechanical characteristics and heat dissipation properties.

AbstractOsteoarthritis (OA) is one of the most common joint disorders in western populations, affecting millions of people worldwide and with a rising incidence as life expectancy continues to increase. Current therapies for OA management fail to halt the progressive degradation of articular cartilage, urging the need for more effective therapies to improve cartilage function and enhance patient's quality of life. Through phage display technology, biopanning on a population of heterogenous chondrocyte cells isolated from six different OA donors, and using a random 12‐amino acid peptide phage library, a peptide selective for human OA chondrocytes (GFQMISNNVYMR) is identified. A twofold increase in fluorescence intensity is observed for OA chondrocytes, compared to normal chondrocytes, when cells are incubated with the identified peptide conjugated to a fluorescent label, being selectively internalized by OA cells. The identified peptide can be further modified and exploited for developing early diagnostic of OA and/or improve drug delivery to target cells through peptide‐drug conjugates.

Published: October 2023

AbstractLithium/sodium‐based batteries have attracted widespread attention because of their high specific capacity and excellent energy density, and have become one of the hottest research directions in energy storage devices. However, the stress accumulated during the continuous electrochemical cycle will cause the inevitable electrode failure, which inhibits the further improvement of battery performance. In order to eliminate/relieve the internal stress problem, a variety of battery material structures have been designed. In the design of battery material structure, the simulation technology is used to conduct battery modeling to predict the experimental results, which effectively reduces the range of parameters. For this reason, this paper first introduces the parameters that need to be considered by establishing stress model. Then, the utilization of simulation technology in the structural design of diverse battery materials is examined in this study. Finally, the future application of simulation technology in the field of energy storage is prospected. This is aimed to encourage the widespread utilization of simulation technology in the energy storage battery industry, with the goal of reducing design‐related energy consumption, enhancing experimental design feasibility, and minimizing experimentation costs.

AbstractThe involvement of endothelial barrier function in abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) and its upstream regulators remains unknown. Single‐cell RNA sequencing shows that disrupted endothelial focal junction is an early (3 days) and persistent (28 days) event during Angiotensin II (Ang II)‐induced AAA progression. Consistently, mRNA sequencing on human aortic dissection tissues confirmed downregulated expression of endothelial barrier‐related genes. Aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2), a negative regulator of AAA, is found to be upregulated in the intimal media of AAA samples, leading to testing its role in early‐stage AAA. ALDH2 knockdown/knockout specifically in endothelial cells (ECs) significantly increases expression of EC barrier markers related to focal adhesion and tight junction, restores endothelial barrier integrity, and suppresses early aortic dilation of AAA (7 and 14 days post‐Ang II). Mechanically, ELK3 acts as an ALDH2 downstream regulator for endothelial barrier function preservation. At the molecular level, ALDH2 directly binds to LIN28B, a regulator of ELK3 mRNA stability, hindering LIN28B binding to ELK3 mRNA, thereby depressing ELK3 expression and impairing endothelial barrier function. Therefore, preserving vascular endothelial barrier integrity via ALDH2‐specific knockdown in ECs holds therapeutic potential in the early management of AAAs.

AbstractSynthetic cannabinoids (SCs), one of the largest groups of new psychoactive substances (NPSs), have emerged as a significant public health threat in different regions worldwide. Analyzing SCs in water samples is critical to estimate their consumption and control. However, due to their low background concentration and the coexistence of complex matrix, the selective and effective enrichment of SCs is still challenging. In this study, a series of fluorinated‐squaramide‐based covalent organic frameworks (COF: FSQ‐2, FSQ‐3, and FSQ‐4) are synthesized, and the as‐prepared FSQ‐4 exhibits strong affinity to different SCs. The proper pore size (1.4 nm) and pre‐located functional groups (hydrogen‐bond donors, hydrogen‐bond acceptors, and fluorophilic segments) work synergistically for efficient SCs capture. Remarkably, when coupled FSQ‐4 with solid‐phase microextraction (SPME), trace‐level (part per trillion, 10−9) determination of 13 SCs can be easily achieved, representing one of the best results among NPS analyses, and the excellent extraction performance can be maintained under various interfering conditions.

AbstractBroadband near‐infrared (NIR) photonic materials have wide applications. Although extensive studies on rare‐earth, transition‐metal, and even semiconductor‐activated materials have enabled the development of a rich NIR material pool, developing broadband and efficient photonic candidates covering the NIR I and II regions from 750 to 1500 nm has been met with limited success. Here, it is reported that a subnano Te cluster with a characteristic configuration different from that of the ion state may fill the aforementioned gap. Further, a strategy is proposed for the in situ generation and stabilization of Te clusters by tuning the cluster evolution in glass. A novel active photonic glass embedded with a Te cluster is fabricated; it exhibits intense and broadband short‐wave NIR luminescence with a central wavelength at 1030 nm and a bandwidth exceeding 330 nm. Interestingly, the glass exhibited a full visible‐spectrum conversion ability from 300 to 800 nm. The application of this unique broadband excitation feature for night vision and tissue penetration is demonstrated using a smartphone as the excitation source. These findings demonstrate a fundamental principle of cluster design in glass for creating new properties and provide a new direction for developing novel cluster‐derived functional composite materials.

AbstractThe efficient activation of professional antigen‐presenting cells—such as dendritic cells (DC)—in tumors and lymph nodes is critical for the design of next‐generation cancer vaccines and may be able to provide anti‐tumor effects by itself through immune stimulation. The challenge is to stimulate these cells without causing excessive toxicity. It is hypothesized that a multi‐pronged combinatorial approach to DC stimulation would allow dose reductions of innate immune receptor‐stimulating TLR3 agonists while enhancing drug efficacy. Here, a hybrid lipid nanoparticle (LNP) platform is developed and tested for double‐stranded RNA (polyinosinic:polycytidylic acid for TLR3 agonism) and immune modulator (L‐CANDI) delivery. This study shows that the ≈120 nm hybrid nanoparticles‐in‐nanoparticles effectively eradicate tumors by themselves and generate long‐lasting, durable anti‐tumor immunity in mouse models.

AbstractTo explore carbide superconductors with higher transition temperature, two novel carbon structures of cage‐network are designed and their superconductivity is studied by doping metals. MC6 and MC10 are respectively identified as C24 and C32 cage‐network structures. This study finds that both carbon structures drive strong electron–phonon interaction and can exhibit superconductivity above liquid nitrogen temperature. Importantly, the superconducting transition temperatures above 100 K are predicted to be achieved in C24‐cage‐network systems doped by Na, Mg, Al, In, and Tl at ambient pressure, which is far higher than those in graphite, fullerene, and other carbides. Meanwhile, the superconductivity of cage‐network carbides is also found to be sensitive to the electronegativity and concentration of dopant M. The result indicates that the higher transition temperatures can be obtained by optimizing the carbon‐cage‐network structures and the doping conditions. The study suggests that the carbon‐cage‐network structure is a direction to explore high‐temperature superconducting carbides.

AbstractBesides further improvement in the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of perovskite solar cells (PSC), their long‐term stability must also be ensured. Additives such as organic cations with halide counter anions are considered promising candidates to address this challenge, conferring both higher performance and increased stability to perovskite‐based devices. Here, a stabilizing additive (N,N‐dimethylmethyleneiminium chloride, [Dmmim]Cl) is identified, and its effect on charge carrier mobility and lifetime under thermal stress in triple cation perovskite (Cs0.05MA0.05FA0.90PbI3) thin films is investigated. To explore the fundamental mechanisms limiting charge carrier mobility, temperature‐dependent microwave conductivity measurements are performed. Different mobility behaviors across two temperature regions are revealed, following the power law Tm, indicating two different dominant scattering mechanisms. The low‐temperature region is assigned to charge carrier scattering with polar optical phonons, while a strong decrease in mobility at high temperatures is due to dynamic disorder. The results obtained rationalize the improved stability of the [Dmmim]Cl‐doped films and devices compared to the undoped reference samples, by limiting temperature‐activated mobile ions and retarding degradation of the perovskite film.

AbstractChronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is a hematological malignancy with high metabolic heterogeneity. N6‐methyladenosine (m6A) modification plays an important role in metabolism through regulating circular RNAs (circRNAs). However, the underlying mechanism is not yet fully understood in CLL. Herein, an m6A scoring system and an m6A‐related circRNA prognostic signature are established, and circTET2 as a potential prognostic biomarker for CLL is identified. The level of m6A modification is found to affect the transport of circTET2 out of the nucleus. By interacting with the RNA‐binding protein (RBP) heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein C (HNRNPC), circTET2 regulates the stability of CPT1A and participates in the lipid metabolism and proliferation of CLL cells through mTORC1 signaling pathway. The mTOR inhibitor dactolisib and FAO inhibitor perhexiline exert a synergistic effect on CLL cells. In addition, the biogenesis of circTET2 can be affected by the splicing process and the RBPs RBMX and YTHDC1. CP028, a splicing inhibitor, modulates the expression of circTET2 and shows pronounced inhibitory effects. In summary, circTET2 plays an important role in the modulation of lipid metabolism and cell proliferation in CLL. This study demonstrates the clinical value of circTET2 as a prognostic indicator as well as provides novel insights in targeting treatment for CLL.

AbstractDespite being the major cause of safety and performance issues in lithium metal batteries, experimental difficulties in quantifying directly the morphology of lithium deposited at electrode surfaces have meant that the mechanism of metallic lithium growth within batteries remains elusive. This study demonstrates that quantitative detail about the morphology of metallic lithium within batteries can be derived non‐destructively and directly using in situ ultra‐small and small‐angle neutron scattering. This information is obtained over a large electrode area in cells where lithium deposition processes are typical of real‐world applications. Complex variations of surface area and interfacial distances 1–10 µm and 100–300 nm are revealed in size that are influenced by current density and cell cycling history, providing valuable insight into the growth of metallic lithium features detrimental to battery performance. Such quantitative insight into the process of lithium growth is required for the development of safer high‐performance lithium metal batteries.
