Published: December 2023

AbstractEnergy cost is a long‐neglected but crucial issue for electrocatalytic carbon dioxide reduction reactions (CO2RRs). So far, achieving efficient CO2RR at a low energy cost is a major unresolved challenge. Herein, energy‐efficient CO2‐to‐CH3OH conversion by synergistically increasing the amount of favorable intermediates and depressing H2 generation is reported. The designed precursor electrocatalyst undergoes in situ reduction, forming Cu−C60 and ZnO−Cu dual interfaces. Cu−C60 induces an *H‐rich surface, decreasing the hydrogenation barrier and lowering the required voltage. *H‐modified ZnO‐Cu alters the mechanism of electron transfer and improves the conversion selectivity. As a result, at an applied potential as low as −0.63 V versus a reversible hydrogen electrode, a cathodic energy efficiency of 50.5% and a faradaic efficiency of 78.3% for CH3OH is obtained. This work unlocks an unconventional route for improving the catalytic performance and energy efficiency of electrocatalysts, addressing the concern of energy costs for electrocatalyzed CO2RR.

AbstractAccelerating catalytic conversion of lithium polysulfides (LiPSs) is a promising way to address the shuttle effect of lithium‐sulfur (Li‐S) batteries but remains a challenge to date. Herein, a universal metal‐organic framework (MOF)‐confined strategy is proposed to fabricate atomically dispersed metal catalysts (ADMCs) with the help of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) toward fast redox conversion in Li‐S batteries. In the synthesis, the EDTA acts as not only the coupling agent for the chemical bonding with unsaturated sites of MOF but also the chelating agent for metal ion capture and further confining them into MOF. As a proof of concept, the ADMCs made of transition metal sites anchored on MOF‐808 (named MOF‐808‐M, M = Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, etc.) are obtained, with well‐defined M‐N2O2 configurations. The in‐depth experiments and theoretical calculations reveal that the atomically dispersed M‐N2O2 sites are capable of enhancing the chemical affinity of MOF‐808‐M toward LiPSs and further accelerating their redox conversion by reducing the energy barrier of the rate‐limiting step. As a result, the assembled Li‐S batteries with S@MOF‐808‐M cathode, represented by S@MOF‐808‐Zn exhibit a high reversible specific capacity of 1192 mAh g−1 at 0.1 C, excellent rate capability of 599 mAh g−1 at 2 C, and remarkable long‐term cycling stability with a capacity retention rate of 94.6% after 300 cycles at 1 C. Moreover, the high areal capacity of 4.79 mAh cm−2 at 0.2 C with a sulfur loading of 5.14 mg cm−2 for S@MOF‐808‐M cathode can be achieved. This work presents a universal strategy to fabricate ADMCs with well‐defined active centers by combining the advantages of MOF for Li‐S batteries.

Published: December 2023

AbstractEffective treatment of deep‐seated tumors relies on enhanced drug penetration in transdermal drug delivery systems. While microneedles (MNs) and iontophoresis techniques have shown improved transdermal drug delivery efficiency, challenges such as skin elasticity, high electrical resistance of the stratum corneum, and external power supply requirements hinder their efficacy in treating deep‐seated tumors. In this study, a wearable, self‐powered MN patch that integrates a flexible triboelectric nanogenerator (F‐TENG) is presented, aimed at advancing deep‐seated tumor therapy. MNs are composed of water‐soluble materials mixed with negatively charged pH‐responsive nanoparticles (NPs) loaded with therapeutic drugs. The F‐TENG harnesses personal mechanical movements generate electrical energy. Leveraging the advantages of both MNs and F‐TENG, therapeutic NPs can penetrate deep skin locations upon MN patch insertion, releasing drugs rapidly in acidic tumor tissues. Owing to these features, a single administration of the integrated MN‐patch in a mouse model with deep‐seated melanoma exhibits superior therapeutic efficacy in inhibiting deep‐located tumor compared to using the MN‐patch alone, indicating promising potential for treating tumors at deep sites.

Published: December 2023

AbstractIntelligent sensor devices are widely used in the fields of aerospace, automobile, biomedicine, and electronics. However, using traditional bulk sensors, it is challenging to meet the needs of health monitoring, human‐computer interaction, environmental monitoring, and wearable portable electronic devices because of the limitations of flexibility and wearability. Novel flexible sensors should be characterized with stretchable, bendable, breathability, and distributed sensing properties. Herein, a flexible multi‐functional fiber sensor for stress and strain monitoring is prepared using thermal drawing technology. The as‐developed sensor is used for real‐time monitoring of small stress and strain with an accuracy of 1 g (1.7 kPa), positioning spatial resolution of 2 cm, and a strain range of 30 000 µɛ with an accuracy of 86 µɛ. It can sense single‐ and multi‐points weak pressure at the same time during keyboard testing. Furthermore, pulse and breath monitoring are also demonstrated. These results reveal the high sensitivity, lightweight, and good flexibility of this multi‐functional fiber sensor, promoting its applications in fields such as biosensing, aircrafts, and intelligent robot.

Published: December 2023

AbstractOne‐third of the food produced worldwide is wasted annually and never consumed, of which ≈ 40–50% are perishable vegetables and fruits (VFs). Although various methods are proposed to reduce this loss, high manufacturing costs and food safety concerns pose significant challenges for the preservation of VFs. Herein, a respiration‐triggered, self‐saving strategy for the preservation of perishable products based on a biomolecular Schiff base composite fabricated by imidization of chitosan and cinnamaldehyde (CS‐Cin) is reported. Ripening of VFs produces acid moisture and triggers a Schiff base reaction in CS‐Cin, permitting the release of volatile Cin into the storage space. This enables versatile preservation by placing CS‐Cin on the side without the need to touch the food, like the desiccant packet in a food packaging bag, while the rotting of VFs is retarded in a self‐saving manner. As a result, the lifetimes of broccoli and strawberries are extended from 2 to 8 days. Furthermore, CS‐Cin with restored preservative properties can be repeatedly recycled from used CS via imidization with Cin. Compared with conventional techniques, the preservatives are easy to use, versatile, and cost‐effective, and the respiration‐responsive release of Cin empowers a self‐saving approach toward the smart preservation of perishable food.

Published: December 2023

AbstractG‐quadruplex (G4) is a four‐stranded noncanonical DNA structure that has long been recognized as a potential hindrance to DNA replication. However, how replisomes effectively deal with G4s to avoid replication failure is still obscure. Here, using single‐molecule and ensemble approaches, the consequence of the collision between bacteriophage T7 replisome and an intramolecular G4 located on either the leading or lagging strand is examined. It is found that the adjacent fork junctions induced by G4 formation incur the binding of T7 DNA polymerase (DNAP). In addition to G4, these inactive DNAPs present insuperable obstacles, impeding the progression of DNA synthesis. Nevertheless, T7 helicase can dismantle them and resolve lagging‐strand G4s, paving the way for the advancement of the replication fork. Moreover, with the assistance of the single‐stranded DNA binding protein (SSB) gp2.5, T7 helicase is also capable of maintaining a leading‐strand G4 structure in an unfolded state, allowing for a fraction of T7 DNAPs to synthesize through without collapse. These findings broaden the functional repertoire of a replicative helicase and underscore the inherent G4 tolerance of a replisome.

AbstractAmong six‐electron Te conversion for energetic aqueous Zn batteries, the main capacity contributor, Te0/Te4+ redox usually causes substantial battery capacity/life discount due to its sluggish kinetics/poor reversibility. Herein, for the first time, an offense‐defense‐balanced strategy to simultaneously address the deficiencies is reported. Beyond previous proton‐ or reductant‐regulated solutions, this strategy efficaciously reconciles the pending capacity‐lifespan conflict. As a proof of concept, additive‐level nucleophilic chlorine ions (Cl−) and reductive glucose (Glu) in electrolytes are synergistically employed as “offensiver” and “defender” for Te0/Te4+ conversion, respectively. The Cl−/Glu co‐additive well inherits the nucleophilic motivation effect of Cl− on Te0/Te4+ conversion, and eliminates the formation of Cl−‐induced diffluent metastable phase (γ‐TeO2), enabling a deep and highly reversible Te0/Te4+ redox. Compared with co‐additive‐free electrolytes, the activation energy for Te conversion is lowered (61.4 vs. 52.8 kJ mol−1), and the shuttle of active materials is effectively inhibited. Consequently, Zn‖Te batteries deliver a volumetric capacity of approximately theoretical value (2409 mAh cm−3) at 0.2 A g−1, and a 15∼30‐fold longer lifespan than those in conventional electrolytes (over 5000 cycles with a decay of only 0.15‰ per cycle at 4 A g−1). This work opens a new avenue to develop other chalcogen conversion‐based aqueous Zn batteries.

AbstractPopular solution‐processed approaches for producing the active layer of perovskite solar cells (PSCs) generally have to make compromise between crystallinity and compactness by inducing a rapid crystallization process with explosive nucleation and limited growth via removing solvent quickly. Here, a practical growth‐dominated in‐plane directional crystallization technique (IPDC) with a deeply retarded crystallization process for the scalable preparation of PSCs are reported. During the low‐temperature annealing, a tiny chamber with a small height is built atop the wet perovskite precursor film to restrain the vertical diffusion and removal of solvent vapor. The chamber eliminates the vertical solvent vapor gradient and induce a horizonal in‐plane gradient of solvent vapor pressure (SVP) toward the preset exhaust port which allows the slow escape of solvent vapor to outer space. In this way, nucleation is induced preferentially near the port and the as‐formed heterogeneous nuclei then grow continuously and directionally. With IPDC, sufficient filling of perovskite with high crystallinity and obvious growth orientation is realized in non‐ordered mesoporous scaffolds. An encouraging power conversion efficiency of 19.35% and 16.53% is achieved respectively for the 0.1 and 52.3‐cm2 printable mesoscopic hole‐conductor‐free PSCs with carbon electrodes.

AbstractBackgroundTo define the incidence and risk factors of chyle leak (CL) after radical nephrectomy and thrombectomy and to determine the impact of chyle leak on oncological outcomes.Patients and MethodsA total of 445 patients who underwent radical nephrectomy and thrombectomy between January 2014 and January 2023 were included. CL is defined as the drainage of chyle with a triglyceride level greater than 110 mg/dL after oral intake or enteral nutrition. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to identify the risk factors of postoperative (CL). The Kaplan–Meier curves were used to compare overall survival and cancer‐specific survival.Results44 patients (9.9%) were diagnosed as (CL). All patients developed CL within 6 days after the operation with a median time of 3 days. In multivariate logistic regression analysis, Mayo grade and side were independent patient‐related risk factors. In addition, operation approach, operation time, and number of lymph nodes harvested were independent surgery‐related risk factors. Between the CL group and the non‐CL group, neither overall survival nor cancer‐specific survival showed statistical differences.ConclusionBased on this retrospective study of renal cell carcinoma and tumor thrombus patients in our center, we found that the risk factors were Mayo grade, side, operation approach, operation time, and number of lymph nodes harvested, and the occurrence of CL significantly prolonged hospital stay, but had no effect on long‐term oncological outcomes.

AbstractThe procedures developed by Gati and colleagues to interpret scores in the Career Decision Difficulties Questionnaire were implemented to examine difficulties’ profiles among self‐identified decided college students who reported being either comfortable or uncomfortable with their career choice. Of the 583 participants, 92.5% were career decided and 7.5% were undecided. Close to half (47.2%) of the career‐decided students self‐identified as uncomfortable with their career choice and reported similar career decision‐making difficulties as their undecided peers. The most salient difficulties among decided uncomfortable students were general indecisiveness and lack of knowledge regarding occupations and the decision‐making process. Greater difficulties related to lack of knowledge about oneself, and internal conflicts predicted membership in the decided uncomfortable group versus the decided comfortable group. Results indicated that career‐decided students are not a homogenous group. Implications of the findings for career counseling with decided uncomfortable college students are discussed.

Reconstruction error‐based fault detection of time series process data using generative adversarial auto‐encoders

Published: December 2023

AbstractFaults in time series process data are typically difficult to detect due to the complex temporal correlations of data samples. In this context, traditional unsupervised machine learning algorithms, such as principal component analysis, independent component analysis, and so forth, would yield only limited performance. Deep learning‐based methods have been employed in recent years to address these problems. Recently, generative adversarial networks have emerged as a promising generative modelling approach for learning data distributions. Inspired by the above, in this study, we present a novel reconstruction error‐based fault detection method for time series process data using generative adversarial auto‐encoder (GAAE) with Wasserstein loss, cycle consistency loss, and gradient penalty methods. The proposed method is designed to detect abnormal patterns in the time series data by training a GAAE to learn the underlying normal behaviour of the data. GAAEs help in effectively capturing the data's hidden distribution, and Wasserstein loss with gradient penalty is used to improve the accuracy of the latent space representation of the data, while the cycle consistency loss ensures consistency between the input and output data during the reconstruction process. Based on the extent of the reconstruction error metric of the GAAEs, we identify the potential faults in the process data stream. The proposed method is evaluated on two data process sets, namely, the Tennessee Eastman benchmark process dataset and the nuclear power flux real‐time dataset from a pressurized heavy water nuclear reactor, to validate the efficacy of the proposed approach.
Challenging the concept of “risk of malignancy” in cytology

Published: December 2023

AbstractSeveral standardized systems for nongynecological cytopathology have been published following the successful implementation of The Bethesda System for Reporting Cervical Cytology. Each of these systems comprises a set of reporting categories accompanied by a risk of malignancy. However, in most cases, these risk of malignancy estimates have not been based on high‐quality evidence and often may not be consider proper “risks” (because they have been estimated based on cross‐sectional studies). This commentary discusses the problems related to the data used to generate these risks. To make nongynecological cytopathology reporting more evidence‐based, large‐scale prospective cohort studies and randomized trials, in addition to high‐quality systematic reviews and meta‐analyses, should be performed.
Approximate Gibbsian structure in strongly correlated point fields and generalized Gaussian zero ensembles

Published: December 2023

AbstractGibbsian structure in random point fields has been a classical tool for studying their spatial properties. However, exact Gibbs property is available only in a relatively limited class of models, and it does not adequately address many random fields with a strongly dependent spatial structure. In this work, we provide a very general framework for approximate Gibbsian structure for strongly correlated random point fields, including those with a highly singular spatial structure. These include processes that exhibit strong spatial rigidity, in particular, a certain one‐parameter family of analytic Gaussian zero point fields, namely the ‐GAFs, that are known to demonstrate a wide range of such spatial behavior. Our framework entails conditions that may be verified via finite particle approximations to the process, a phenomenon that we call an approximate Gibbs property. We show that these enable one to compare the spatial conditional measures in the infinite volume limit with Gibbs‐type densities supported on appropriate singular manifolds, a phenomenon we refer to as a generalized Gibbs property. Our work provides a general mechanism to rigorously understand the limiting behavior of spatial conditioning in strongly correlated point processes with growing system size. We demonstrate the scope and versatility of our approach by showing that a generalized Gibbs property holds with a logarithmic pair potential for the ‐GAFs for any value of . In this vein, we settle in the affirmative an open question regarding the existence of point processes with any specified level of rigidity. In particular, for the ‐GAF zero process, we establish the level of rigidity to be exactly , a fortiori demonstrating the phenomenon of spatial tolerance subject to the local conservation of moments. For such processes involving complex, many‐body interactions, our results imply that the local behavior of the random points still exhibits 2D Coulomb‐type repulsion in the short range. Our techniques can be leveraged to estimate the relative energies of configurations under local perturbations, with possible implications for dynamics and stochastic geometry on strongly correlated random point fields.

Published: December 2023

AbstractElectrochemical nitrate reduction reaction (NO3RR) is a promising technology for ammonia production and denitrification of wastewater. Its application is seriously restricted by the development of the highly active and selective electrocatalyst and a rational electrolysis system. Here, we constructed an efficient electrochemical ammonia production process via nitrate reduction on the metallic Cu electrocatalyst when coupled with anodic sulfion oxidation reaction (SOR). The synthesized Cu catalyst delivers an excellent NH3 Faradaic efficiency of 96.0 % and a NH3 yield of 0.391 mmol h−1 cm−2 at −0.2 V vs. reversible hydrogen electrode, which mainly stem from the more favorable conversion of NO2− to NH3 on Cu0. Importantly, the well‐designed electrolysis system with cathodic NO3RR and anodic SOR achieves a dramatically reduced cell voltage of 0.8 V at 50 mA cm−2 in comparison with the one with anodic oxygen evolution reaction (OER) of 1.9 V. This work presents an effective strategy for the energy‐saving ammonia production via constructing effective nitrate reduction catalyst and replacing the OER with SOR while removing the pollutants including nitrate and sulfion.
