Published: February 2025

AbstractAs an eye‐catching 2D material, MoS2 has tunable optical and electrical properties. However, the rapid recombination of electron‐hole pairs intrinsically significantly hinders the performance improvement of MoS2 photodetectors. Achieving carrier manipulation to suppress recombination is crucial and challenging for MoS2 photodetectors. Herein, we report three MoS2 photodetectors decorated with platinum single atoms (Pt SAs), platinum single‐layer clusters (Pt SCs), and platinum nanoclusters (Pt NCs) via an impregnation method. Carrier recombination in MoS2 is suppressed by growing Pt SAs, Pt SCs, and Pt NCs. Furthermore, Pt SAs, Pt SCs, and Pt NCs have different effects on carrier behavior due to the size effect and disparate interactions with MoS2. Among the Pt SA/MoS2, Pt SC/MoS2, and Pt NC/MoS2 devices, Pt SC/MoS2 exhibits a responsivity (R) of 1.44 × 102 A W−1 and a specific detectivity (D*) of 1.07 × 1010 Jones under 532 nm illumination with a power density of 0.5 mW cm−2. This work will deepen the understanding of the relationship between the size effect and carrier behavior and provide a theoretical basis for carrier manipulation of photodetectors.

AbstractDespite significant advancements in materials design for renewable energy devices, the fundamental understanding of the underlying processes in many materials remains limited, particularly in complex, inhomogeneous systems and interfaces. In such cases, in situ studies with high spatial and energy resolution are essential for uncovering new insights into excitation, dissipation, and conversion processes. Recent progress in in situ atomic scale methods has greatly enhanced the understanding of energy materials. Here, key advances are reviewed, including in situ, environmental and ultra‐fast transmission electron microscopy, scanning probe techniques, single‐photon‐resolved infrared spectroscopy, velocity‐resolved molecular kinetics, and in situ grazing‐incidence X‐ray spectroscopy. These techniques enable the study of energy conversion with spatial resolution from nanometers down to individual atoms, energy resolution down to meV, and single‐quantum detection. Especially they enable access to processes that involve multiple degrees of freedom, strong coupling, or spatial inhomogeneities. They have driven a qualitative leap in the fundamental understanding of energy conversion processes, opening new avenues for improving existing materials and designing novel clean and efficient energy materials in photovoltaics, friction, and surface chemistry and (photo‐)electrochemistry.

AbstractPerovskite solar cells (PSCs) have garnered significant interest due to their potential for high performance at low cost. While single‐junction PSCs have surpassed 26% efficiency, they are nearing their theoretical limits. Introducing dual absorber layers can broaden the spectral absorption range, enhancing performance. This study explores a zero‐dimensional/three‐dimensional (0D/3D) bilayer structure combining three‐dimensional (3D) FAPbI3 with zero‐dimensional (0D) cesium tin triiodide (CsSnI3) quantum dots (QDs) as an interfacial modification layer. The CsSnI3 QDs establish a cascade energy level structure, improving charge transfer efficiency at the perovskite‐hole transport layer (HTL) interface. Their narrow bandgap enhances light absorption efficiency, boosting hole extraction and short‐circuit current density. Incorporating CsSnI3 QDs into PSCs significantly improves the power conversion efficiency from 22.99% to 25.72% compared to 3D perovskite solar cells without the CsSnI3 QD interlayer. Also, surface‐passivated CsSnI3 QDs with hydrophobic ligands provide moisture resistance and interfacial passivation, increasing stability. Using perfluorooctanoic acid (PFA) to modify CsSnI3 QDs further enhances moisture resistance, allowing PSCs to maintain 85% of initial efficiency for over 60 days at 25% relative humidity without encapsulation, demonstrating significant stability improvements. The incorporation of CsSnI3 QDs in PSCs notably increases power conversion efficiency.

Published: February 2025

AbstractSix types of MxSby compounds (Fe, Co, and Ni antimonides) are synthesized in form of mono‐dispersed nanocrystallites (NCs) via a hot‐injection metathesis‐reduction. Various contents of Sb atoms are found to drive crystallographic structure and re‐coordination in the MxSby materials, leading to rhythmical changes of orthorhombic M3Sb→hexagonal MSb→monoclinic (or orthorhombic) MSb2. The crystallography is identified as crucial factor in electrocatalysis of water splitting at cathodic and anodic electrodes, respectively. Owning to the in‐plane microstrain distributed along (001) plane, the synthesized Ni3Sb NCs are more suitable to catalyzing hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), sharing overpotential (η10) of 93 mV@10 mA cm−2 with Tafel slope of 45 mV dec−1, and extremely low hydrogen adsorption resistance (0.019 Ω) is obtained. The orthorhombic FeSb2 NCs featured with larger deprotonation capacity of 13.71 mC V−1 excelled in oxygen evolution reaction (OER) electrolysis, and is confirmed to facilitate minimal deformation of the OOH*. The integrated devices (FeSb2‖Ni3Sb) are tested as efficient catalyst for overall water splitting (1.58 V@10 mA cm−2) with long stability. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations elucidated the particular coordination of Sb with proper electronegativity (2.05) is able to adjust active sites, relax electronic attraction, and benefit electrochemical reactions.

Published: February 2025

AbstractPiezoelectric pulsation‐driven glass nozzles are capable of generating monodisperse droplets through liquid jet breakup. Due to the lack of fundamental understanding of this process, how to ensure uniform droplet generation with a specified size for liquids with specific rheological properties remains unknown. In this work, the complete atomization process including phenomena in and outside of the nozzle has been described by a new multi‐physics model, where the expensive in‐nozzle simulation can be rigorously replaced by a semi‐empirical relationship. This computationally efficient model allowed us to systematically and quantitatively explore the influence of different material and operating parameters on jet breakup. It was found unintuitively that the surface tension has negligible influence on droplet size and its distribution. The droplet size can be independent of the nozzle radius under the condition of a constant inflow rate. Moreover, a detailed guideline was established to achieve on‐aim size control of the atomized droplets.

ObjectiveThe involvement of cortical inflammation in migraine, particularly migraine with aura, has been a subject of considerable interest, but has proved challenging to demonstrate. We aimed to detect and characterize signs of cortical inflammation in adults with migraine using a novel, multimodal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technique.MethodsWe used T2 mapping to measure water content/cellularity, T1 mapping to measure tissue microstructure integrity, and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) mapping to measure intra‐ or extracellular edema. We compared these values between participants with migraine (with and without aura) and healthy controls using general linear models adjusted for age and sex.ResultTwo hundred ninety‐six adult participants with migraine and 155 age‐ and sex‐matched healthy controls provided eligible imaging data. Among the participants with migraine, 103 had migraine with aura, 180 chronic migraine, and 88 were ictal during the scan. Participants with migraine had higher quantitative T2 (qT2) in the left occipital cortex than healthy controls (p < 0.0001). In migraine with aura, the higher qT2 was more widespread and located bilaterally in the occipital cortices, compared with controls (left, p < 0.0001; right p = 0.004). Post‐hoc analysis revealed overlapping ADC elevations in migraine with aura compared with controls (p = 0.0069).InterpretationQuantitative MRI changes compatible with cortical inflammation were detected in participants with migraine, and appeared driven by the subgroup with aura. Higher occipital qT2 in migraine with aura might represent either extracellular edema or accumulation of inflammatory microglia or astrocytes. These results support the importance of cortical inflammation in migraine pathophysiology, particularly in migraine with aura. ANN NEUROL 2025

Photochemical afterglow materials are gaining great attention for the property to continuously emit light after the excitation source is removed. However, their limited luminescence quantum yield (QY) and brightness hinder the use in biological applications. In this study, we introduce a novel photochemical afterglow system that combines a newly designed photoenergy cache unit (PCU) with an emitter through coordination covalent bonds. The PCU boasts a dark state to significantly emit photons only through chemiexcitation in the process of photochemical reactions, facilitating direct energy transfer to the emitter and resulting in bright afterglow. The related mechanisms further guided us to achieve the highest reported afterglow luminescence quantum yield of 27.5%. The system can be encapsulated and dispersed in aqueous solutions for in vivo bioimaging in living mice under mild and simple conditions (low concentration, low excitation power, short excitation time, short exposure time), and also for in vitro diagnostic through lateral flow immunoassay, enabling the highly sensitive detection of the inflammatory biomarker serum amyloid A (SAA) and demonstrating excellent correlation with clinical test results. This study offers new insights into enhancing luminescence QY and brightness of afterglow, highlighting the potential of such systems for further biomedical applications.

Published: February 2025

ABSTRACTOrganically modified dielectric filler nanoparticles with core–shell structures have received widespread attention when designing composites with excellent dielectric properties. Herein, the core–shell structured BaTiO3@polyethylene (BT@PE) nanoparticles were prepared and the models of BT@PE filled low‐density polyethylene (LDPE) composites were constructed. The interaction modulated nanoparticle dispersion structure and the effect of the core–shell structured BT@PE on the polarization and breakdown of the composites were studied by molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and finite element analysis (FEA). The results show that BT@PE modulated the interactions between particles, formed a well‐dispersed structure in the LDPE matrix, and optimized the electric field distribution inside the composites. Moreover, due to the existence of microscopic transition layer, the core–shell structured BT@PE increased the interfacial polarization while suppressed the electric field distortion. BT@PE nanoparticles simultaneously enhanced the dielectric constant and breakdown strength of the composites.

Published: February 2025

ABSTRACTIllegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing is one of the major anthropogenic impacts threatening aquatic ecosystem functioning. In the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River (MLYR), effective mitigation measures for IUU fishing are still absent, primarily due to gaps in prioritizing conservation actions and limited enforcement capabilities. In the present study, keywords associated with public concern, resource endowments and conservation efforts on online platforms were searched and analysed using the entropy‐weighting method to identify major areas in the MLYR requiring immediate mitigation measures against IUU fishing. Key factors associated with the variation in public concern in these major areas were examined to discuss the feasibility of guiding actions against IUU fishing. From 2011 to 2023, public concern on IUU fishing were increasing, though the trend for recreational angling was not statistically significant. Following the implementation of the ‘Ten‐Year Fishing Ban’ policy in Yangtze River, public concern on IUU fishing significantly increased. Changes in public concern were correlated with domestic human population, GDP, water area and the number of fishers. The results of entropy‐weighting analysis highlighted the catchments of Dongting Lake and Poyang Lake as the major areas for reinforcing IUU fishing mitigation. In Poyang Lake, the areas requiring reinforced patrols and enforcement against IUU fishing include habitats around the river mouth of the Ganjiang River and central‐eastern part of the lake during the flood season and the southern and eastern tributaries of the lake during the dry season. We recommend advancing the application of web‐based data in biodiversity conservation and encouraging policy interventions to engage anglers as advocates for aquatic conservation, fostering a sound patrol network through social engagement.

ObjectiveThis study aimed to assess whether signaling lymphocytic activation molecule family receptors (SLAMFs) are involved in the shaping of the pathological response of CD4+ T cells in rheumatoid arthritis (RA).MethodsPeripheral blood (PB) and synovial fluid (SF) mononuclear cells from RA patients were freshly isolated. In RA, we used a multi‐modal approach to determine the involvement of numerous subpopulations of CD4+ T cells expressing SLAMFs. Experimentally, multiple flow cytometry panels, RNA sequencing and ex vivo stimulations were used. Analyses involved high‐dimensional unsupervised clustering of flow cytometry data and pathway enrichment analyses of transcriptomic data.ResultsIn PB of RA patients with active disease, SLAMF4+ effector memory T cells (Tem) represented the only overrepresented subpopulation of CD4+ T cells expressing SLAMFs. This positive correlation between RA activity and SLAMF4+ Tem was restricted to those co‐expressing the intracellular molecule SAP and the tissue‐homing receptor CCR5. Gene Set Enrichment Analysis of RNA‐sequencing data reveals that SLAMF4+ CCR5+ Tem display a cytotoxicity‐related gene signature. Moreover, based on the differential expression of cytotoxicity markers (GPR56, CX3CR1, granzyme‐B, perforin and granulysin), unsupervised clustering of flow cytometry data identified distinct subpopulations of PB cytotoxic Tem. Among them, only SLAMF4high SAP+ CCR5+ Tem (Cytotox‐F4high Tem) were correlated with RA activity. Remarkably, Cytotox‐F4high Tem emerged as the only cytotoxic population of CD4+ T cells (CD4+ CTLs) present in SF of patients with active disease.ConclusionsThis study emphasizes that Cytotox‐F4high Tem represent a significant CD4+ CTL subpopulation involved in RA, suggesting that their inhibition represent a promising therapeutic interest.

Published: February 2025

AbstractDue to unique metal‐support interactions, loaded structures have been widely used in the structural design of hydrogen‐extraction reaction (HER) electrocatalysts. However, the development of catalysts that are both active and stable remains a great challenge. Herein, we successfully anchored Pt nanoparticles on ultrathin nanobelts to construct a crystalline/amorphous Pt NPs/CNWOx NBs heterostructure, which possesses the dual advantages of fast electron transfer in crystalline materials and effective exposure of active sites in amorphous materials. The obtained catalyst exhibits great HER catalytic performance in both 0.5 M H2SO4 and 1 M KOH. Compared with CNWOx nanobelts, Pt‐loaded Pt NPs/CNWOx NBs exhibits lower overpotentials and faster HER kinetics. For acidic and alkaline HER, the catalyst required only low overpotentials of 35 mV and 60 mV to achieve a current density of 10 mA cm−2, respectively, which is even better than that of commercial Pt/C. And Pt NPs/CNWOx NBs shows almost no degradation after long time stability tests. It is found that the composite structure of crystalline/amorphous, the heterogeneous interface and the introduction of Pt synergize with each other to achieve increased number of active sites and enhanced intrinsic activity, resulting in excellent electrocatalytic HER activity and stability.

Research–practice partnerships in education: Lessons from the United States
Authors: France Rachel 
Published: February 2025

AbstractIn response to a proposal to reframe the ‘research into practice’ agenda in UK education using partnership working, this paper examines a type of collaborative research known as a research–practice partnership (RPP), drawing on models established in education in the United States. It examines their characteristics and what has been learnt from several decades of experience before reflecting on the relevance of this literature for the UK context. RPPs can allow researchers to gain a better understanding of practice problems and, by involving practitioners and local policymakers, the resulting research is likely to be more relevant to local users. The paper highlights the importance of relationship building, considerations around locus of power and issues related to boundary working. It considers aspects of the underlying research infrastructure in the United Kingdom relevant to partnership working, including the role of local authorities, research funding structures and the general research environment. Changes to the Research Excellence Framework and funders' requirements, as well as shifts in policy approaches to research, all suggest that support for more collaborative working in the United Kingdom may be growing.
