AbstractAqueous zinc‐ion batteries (AZIBs) have experienced a rapid surge in popularity, as evident from the extensive research with over 30 000 articles published in the past 5 years. Previous studies on AZIBs have showcased impressive long‐cycle stability at high current densities, achieving thousands or tens of thousands of cycles. However, the practical stability of AZIBs at low current densities (<1C) is restricted to merely 50–100 cycles due to intensified cathode dissolution. This genuine limitation poses a considerable challenge to their transition from the laboratory to the industry. In this study, leveraging density functional theory (DFT) calculations, an artificial interphase that achieves both hydrophobicity and restriction of the outward penetration of dissolved vanadium cations, thereby shifting the reaction equilibrium and suppressing the vanadium dissolution following Le Chatelier's principle, is described. The approach has resulted in one of the best cycling stabilities to date, with no noticeable capacity fading after more than 200 cycles (≈720 h) at 200 mA g−1 (0.47C). These findings represent a significant advance in the design of ultrastable cathodes for aqueous batteries and accelerate the industrialization of aqueous zinc‐ion batteries.

AbstractFiber solar cells as promising wearable power supplies have attracted increasing attentions recently, while further breakthrough on their power conversion efficiency (PCE) and realization of multicolored appearances remain urgent needs particularly in real‐world applications. Here, a fiber‐dye‐sensitized solar cell (FDSSC) integrated with a light diffusion layer composed of alumina/polyurethane film on the outmost encapsulating tube and a light conversion layer made from phosphors/TiO2/poly(vinylidene fluoride‐co‐hexafluoropropylene) film on the inner counter electrode is designed. The incident light is diffused to more surfaces of fiber electrodes, then converted on counter electrode and reflected to neighboring photoanode, so the FDSSC efficiently takes advantage of the fiber shape for remarkably enhanced light harvesting, producing a record PCE of 13.11%. These efficient FDSSCs also realize color‐tunable appearances, improving their designability and compatibility with textiles. They are further integrated with fiber batteries as power systems, providing a power solution for wearables and emerging smart textiles.

AbstractOptimizing the performance of semiconductors in both classical and quantum applications, not only requires a solid understanding of elementary excitations such as electrons, holes, or bound electron–hole pairs (excitons), but also of their interaction with the host material's vibrational states (phonons). Exciton‐phonon coupling is particularly relevant in quantum dots (QDs) of APbX3 lead‐halide perovskite (where “A” can be Cs, formamidinium (FA), or methylammonium (MA), and X can be Cl, Br, or I), a new class of semiconductors with a soft crystal structure. Here, they quantify the strength of coupling to interband transitions for both FAPbBr3 and CsPbBr3 QDs, via the magnitude of phonon replicas in their photoluminescence (PL) spectra at cryogenic temperatures. CsPbBr3 QDs exhibit weaker exciton‐phonon coupling than similarly sized FAPbBr3 QDs. While the phonon energies are size‐independent, the exciton‐phonon coupling strength decreases with increasing QD size due to the decreased coupling of the transition to low‐energy surface‐enhanced phonon modes, consistent withab initio molecular‐dynamics (AIMD) simulations. Furthermore, within the harmonic approximation, the size‐dependent PL linewidth at room temperature can coarsely be estimated from the low‐temperature phonon replica spectrum, highlighting the crucial role of anharmonic effects. These findings contribute to realizing perovskite QD‐based devices with narrow and coherent emission for quantum technologies.

AbstractManipulating terahertz (THz) polarization in an efficient and broadband manner is of great significance to facilitating THz applications, including communications, imaging, defense, and homeland security. In this work, a dispersion compensation scheme is proposed for high‐efficiency and ultra‐broadband THz polarization manipulation using an anisotropic dielectric‐metal hybrid metadevice. The operating bandwidth is broadened by dispersion compensation, where the dielectric grating provides an artificial birefringence with a phase dispersion of positive slope and the metallic grating provides a phase dispersion of negative slope. Experimental results show that the device achieves two ultra‐broadband dispersion compensation, corresponding to the achromatic quarter‐wave plate in the lower frequency band (QWP: 0.5–2.0 THz, PCR >0.95) and the achromatic half‐wave plate in the higher frequency band (HWP: 1.0–2.1 THz, PCR >0.9), respectively. Theoretically, the bandwidth of QWP can be further improved to 2.6 THz by optimizing the grating dispersion, which brings huge application space to cover most of the THz radiation. This hybrid metadevice configuration offers a versatile platform for engineering electromagnetic waves, and the strategy of phase compensation can be generalized to extend the bandwidth of the metadevice in imaging and communications.

AbstractLong‐life room temperature phosphorescent (RTP) materials hold significant potential in the fields of optoelectronic devices, information encryption, and bio‐imaging due to their excellent optical properties. However, achieving multi‐color tunable RTP materials has proven challenging. In this study, molecular engineering strategies are employed to select precursor molecules with varying degrees of conjugation such as phthalic anhydride (PA), naphtho[2,3‐c] furan‐1,3‐dione (23NA), and naphthalic anhydride (NA). By combining these guest molecules with a host boric acid matrix through a one‐step microwave method, carbon dots (CDs)composites (PA@BA, 23NA@BA and NA@BA) exhibiting excellent RTP properties are successfully prepared. As the degree of precursor conjugation increased gradually, the phosphorescence color modulation of the composites demonstrates satisfactory transitions from blue to yellow. Notably, CDs are derived in situ within the boric acid matrix while covalent and hydrogen bonds formed between CDs and borate matrix effectively suppress nonradiative leaps and facilitate composite RTP activation. Furthermore, the boric acid matrix acts as insulation against oxygen diffusion and prevents quenching of triplet excitons by external factors. The rationality behind phosphorescence emission mechanism and wavelength modulation is further conformed by density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Finally, CDs composites are successfully applied for advanced message encryption of text and images.

AbstractUltrabroadband and polarization‐sensitive imaging are essential for pioneering advancements in intelligent technology, offering a pivotal pathway to multidimensional information extraction. However, the dearth of appropriate photosensitive semiconductors in the infrared region and the lack of suitably efficient device architecture for the separation and collection of photocarriers significantly impede the development of ultra‐broadband and polarization‐sensitive photodetectors. To address these challenges, a sandwiched Ta2NiSe5/MoTe2/Graphene heterostructure device is engineered. In this device, efficient and polarization‐sensitive photocarriers are generated in the top Ta2NiSe5 layer, rapidly separated through the middle MoTe2 layer, and effectively collected by the bottom graphene layer. As a result, the developed photodetector exhibits an ultra‐broadband and polarization‐sensitive photoresponse that extends from visible light (520 nm) to short‐wave infrared (2200 nm). At 2200 nm, the device displays a notable responsivity of 5.79 A W−1, a specific detectivity of 1010 Jones, and an anisotropic ratio of 1.44. Furthermore, this device successfully demonstrates high‐resolution ultra‐broadband and polarized light imaging capabilities. This study thus presents an intriguing blueprint for the development of advanced 2D imaging platforms for future‐generation intelligent systems.

AbstractIn recent years, intensive efforts made to harness tissue engineering techniques to develop cultivated meat. Sustainable meat substitutes are a promising solution for the expected world food shortage; however, multiple challenges still pose barriers to the mass, low‐cost production of nutritious cultivated meat. This work is focused on the development of edible nutritious 3D scaffolds for the production of bovine muscle tissue for cultivated meat. Protein‐rich scaffolds composed of pea protein are prepared using mold‐casting and bioprinting techniques. The plant‐based scaffolds supported bovine satellite cells' attachment, growth, and differentiation into muscle tissue without the need for coating agents or high‐cost components. The presented pea‐protein‐rich scaffolds are of high nutritional value, with low allergenicity, and can be processed under low fabrication costs, which can significantly advance the commercial production of nutritious and sustainable cultivated meat.

AbstractParoxysmal kinesigenic dyskinesia (PKD) is associated with a disturbance of neural circuit and network activities, while its neurophysiological characteristics have not been fully elucidated. This study utilized the high‐density electroencephalogram (hd‐EEG) signals to detect abnormal brain activity of PKD and provide a neural biomarker for its clinical diagnosis and PKD progression monitoring. The resting hd‐EEGs are recorded from two independent datasets and then source‐localized for measuring the oscillatory activities and function connectivity (FC) patterns of cortical and subcortical regions. The abnormal elevation of theta oscillation in wildly brain regions represents the most remarkable physiological feature for PKD and these changes returned to healthy control level in remission patients. Another remarkable feature of PKD is the decreased high‐gamma FCs in non‐remission patients. Subtype analyses report that increased theta oscillations may be related to the emotional factors of PKD, while the decreased high‐gamma FCs are related to the motor symptoms. Finally, the authors established connectome‐based predictive modelling and successfully identified the remission state in PKD patients in dataset 1 and dataset 2. The findings establish a clinically relevant electroencephalography profile of PKD and indicate that hd‐EEG can provide robust neural biomarkers to evaluate the prognosis of PKD.

AbstractRespiratory syncytial virus (RSV) causes substantial morbidity and mortality in infants, the immunocompromised, and the elderly. RSV infects the airway epithelium via the apical membrane and almost exclusively sheds progeny virions back into the airway mucus (AM), making RSV difficult to target by systemically administered therapies. An inhalable “muco‐trapping” variant of motavizumab (Mota‐MT), a potent neutralizing mAb against RSV F is engineered. Mota‐MT traps RSV in AM via polyvalent Fc‐mucin bonds, reducing the fraction of fast‐moving RSV particles in both fresh pediatric and adult AM by ≈20–30‐fold in a Fc‐glycan dependent manner, and facilitates clearance from the airways of mice within minutes. Intranasal dosing of Mota‐MT eliminated viral load in cotton rats within 2 days. Daily nebulized delivery of Mota‐MT to RSV‐infected neonatal lambs, beginning 3 days after infection when viral load is at its maximum, led to a 10 000‐fold and 100 000‐fold reduction in viral load in bronchoalveolar lavage and lung tissues relative to placebo control, respectively. Mota‐MT‐treated lambs exhibited reduced bronchiolitis, neutrophil infiltration, and airway remodeling than lambs receiving placebo or intramuscular palivizumab. The findings underscore inhaled delivery of muco‐trapping mAbs as a promising strategy for the treatment of RSV and other acute respiratory infections.

AbstractH2 generation from methanol‐water mixtures often requires high pressure and high temperature (200–300 °C). However, CO can be easily generated and poison the catalytic system under such high temperature. Therefore, it is highly desirable to develop the efficient catalytic systems for H2 production from methanol at room temperature, even at sub‐zero temperatures. Herein, carbon nanotube‐supported Pt nanocomposites are designed and synthesized as high‐performance nano‐catalysts, via stabilization of Pt nanoparticles onto carbon nanotube (CNT), for H2 production upon methanol dehydrogenation at sub‐zero temperatures. Therein, the optimal Pt/CNT nanocomposite presents the superior catalytic performance in H2 production upon methanol dehydrogenation at the expense of B2(OH)4, with the TOF of 299.51 min‐130 oC. Compared with other common carriers, Pt/CNT exhibited the highest catalytic performance in H2 production, emphasizing the critical role of CNT in methanol dehydrogenation. The confinement of Pt nanoparticles by CNTs is conducive to inhibiting the aggregation of Pt nanoparticles, thereby significantly increasing its catalytic performance and stability. The kinetic study, detailed mechanistic insights, and density functional theory (DFT) calculation confirm that the breaking of O─H bond of CH3OH is the rate‐controlling step for methanol dehydrogenation, and both H atoms of H2 are supplied by methanol. Interestingly, H2 is also successfully produced from methanol dehydrogenation at −10 °C, which absolutely solves the freezing problem in the H2 evolution upon water‐splitting reaction.

AbstractThe utilization of hot carriers as a means to surpass the Shockley‐Queasier limit represents a promising strategy for advancing highly efficient photovoltaic devices. Quantum dots, owing to their discrete energy states and limited multi‐phonon cooling process, are regarded as one of the most promising materials. However, in practical implementations, the presence of numerous defects and discontinuities in colloidal quantum dot (CQD) films significantly curtails the transport distance of hot carriers. In this study, the harnessing of excess energies from hot‐carriers is successfully demonstrated and a world‐record carrier diffusion length of 15 µm is observed for the first time in colloidal systems, surpassing existing hot‐carrier materials by more than tenfold. The observed phenomenon is attributed to the specifically designed honeycomb‐like topological structures in a HgTe CQD superlattice, with its long‐range periodicity confirmed by High‐Resolution Transmission Electron Microscopy(HR‐TEM), Selected Area Electron Diffraction(SAED) patterns, and low‐angle X‐ray diffraction (XRD). In such a superlattice, nonlocal hot carrier transport is supported by three unique physical properties: the wavelength‐independent responsivity, linear output characteristics and microsecond fast photoresponse. These findings underscore the potential of HgTe CQD superlattices as a feasible approach for efficient hot carrier collection, thereby paving the way for practical applications in highly sensitive photodetection and solar energy harvesting.

Published: January 2024

AbstractMemristors are regarded as promising candidates for breaking the problems including high off‐chip memory access delays and the hash rate cost of frequent data moving induced by algorithms for data‐intensive applications of existing computational systems. Recently, organic–inorganic halide perovskites (OIHPs) have been recognized as exceptionally favorable materials for memristors due to ease of preparation, excellent electrical conductivity, and structural flexibility. However, research on OIHP‐based memristors focuses on modulating resistive switching (RS) performance through electric fields, resulting in difficulties in moving away from complex external circuits and wire connections. Here, a multilayer memristor has been constructed with eutectic gallium and indium (EGaIn)/ MAPbI3/poly(3,4‐ethylenedioxythiophene): poly(4‐styrenesulphonate) (PEDOT: PSS)/indium tin oxide (ITO) structure, which exhibits reproducible and reliable bipolar RS with low SET/RESET voltages, stable endurance, ultrahigh average ON/OFF ratio, and excellent retention. Importantly, based on ion migration activated by sound‐driven piezoelectric effects, the device exhibits a stable acoustic response with an average ON/OFF ratio greater than 103, thus realizing non‐contact, multi‐signal, and far‐field control in RS modulation. This study provides a single‐structure multifunctional memristor as an integrated architecture for sensing, data storage, and computing.

AbstractThe green water‐based adsorption refrigeration is considered as a promising strategy to realize near‐zero‐carbon cooling applications. Although many metal‐organic frameworks (MOFs) have been developed as water adsorbents, their cooling performance are commonly limited by the insufficient water uptakes below P/P0 = 0.2. Herein, the development of multivariate MOFs (MTV‐MOFs) is reported to highly modulate and boost the low‐pressure water uptake for improving coefficient of performance (COP) for refrigeration. Through ligand exchange in the pristine MIL‐125‐NH2, a series of MTV‐MOFs with bare nitrogen sites are designed and synthesized. The resulting MIL‐125‐NH2/MD‐5% exhibits the significantly improved water uptake of 0.39 g g−1 at 298 K and P/P0 = 0.2, which is three times higher than MIL‐125‐NH2 (0.12 g g−1) and comparable to some benchmark materials including KMF‐1 (0.4 g g−1) and MIP‐200 (0.36 g g−1). Combined with its low‐temperature regeneration, fast sorption kinetics and high stability, MIL‐125‐NH2/MD‐5% achieves one of the highest COP values (0.8) and working capacities (0.24 g g−1) for refrig‐2 under an ultralow‐driven temperature of 65 °C, which are higher than some best‐performing MOFs such as MIP‐200 (0.74 and 0.11 g g−1) and KMF‐2 (0.62 and 0.16 g g−1), making it among the best adsorbents for efficient ultralow‐temperature‐driven refrigeration.

Total Synthesis of the Guangnanmycin A Alcohol
Authors: Yahata Kenzo , Fürstner Alois 
Published: January 2024

AbstractGuangnanmycin A is a recently discovered congener of the well‐known antitumor drug lead leinamycin; its macrolactam ring, however, is even more strained than that of the parent compound. The first synthetic foray towards this challenging target is reported, which relies on molybdenum‐catalyzed macrocyclization by ring closing alkyne metathesis (RCAM) followed by ruthenium‐catalyzed redox isomerization of the propargyl alcohol thus formed; the resulting enone enabled the introduction of the yet missing exo‐methylene group by a modified Peterson olefination. The signature disulfide moiety of guangnanmycin A was installed by strain‐driven thia‐Michael addition followed by conversion of the thioether thus formed into an unsymmetric disulfide with the aid of (methylthio)dimethylsulfonium tetrafluoroborate and MeSSMe. While this sequence furnished racemic guangnanmycin A alcohol in good overall yield, the final oxidation to the corresponding acid failed, most likely because of the exceptional sensitivity of the strained scaffold.
