Large‐Scale Synthesis of Flexible Cermet Interdigital Electrodes with Stable Ceramic‐Metal Contact for Fire‐Resistant Pressure Tactile Sensors
Authors: Guo Yongshi , Zhang Xiaohua , Jiang Feng , Tian Xuwang , Wu Jiawei , Yan Jianhua 
Published: January 2024

AbstractCermet has broad applications in electronics, but achieving stable ceramic‐metal contact has always been a challenge, particularly at hot temperature and large deformation conditions, due to the significant differences in thermal expansion coefficient and stiffness of ceramics and metals. Here, stress matching and strong interphase bonding at the heterogenous ceramic‐metal contact are realized by using flexible ceramics, leading to stable applications in flexible fire‐resistant pressure tactile sensors. Cu/Au nanolayers are deposited first onto the toughened flexible SiO2 nanofibers with a chemical plating method to form sensitive interdigital electrode sensors, then use an in situ thermal reaction strategy to form conformal and interlocked Au3Cu and CuSiO3 interphases, which enhance the mechanical thermal stability of the ceramic‐metal contact. With deep learning technique, the as‐fabricated intelligent pressure tactile gloves can accurately recognize the human body parts in low‐visible burning environments and show a long‐term stability over 1000 cycles with a high sensitivity of 112.18 kPa−1, which is important for developing intelligent firefighting.

AbstractSolid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) are long sought after for versatile applications due to their low cost, light weight, flexibility, ease of scale‐up, and low interfacial impedance. However, obtaining SPEs with high Li+ conductivity (σ+) and high voltage stability to avoid concentrated polarization and premature capacity loss has proven challenging. Here a stretchable dry‐SPE is reported with a semi‐interpenetrating, supermolecular architecture consisting of a cross‐linked polyethylene oxide (PEO) tetra‐network and an alternating copolymer poly(ethylene oxide‐alt‐butylene terephthalate). Such a unique supermolecular architecture suppresses the formation of Li+/PEO intermolecular complex and enhances the oxidation stability of PEO‐based electrolyte, thus maintaining high chain segmental motion even with high salt loading (up to 50 wt%) and achieving a wide electrochemical stability window of 5.3 V. These merits enable the simultaneous accomplishment of high ionic conductivity and high Li+ transference number (t+) to enhance the energy efficiency of energy storage device, and electrochemical stability.

AbstractElectronic band structure engineering of metal‐halide perovskites (MHP) lies at the core of fundamental materials research and photovoltaic applications. However, reconfiguring the band structures in MHP for optimized electronic properties remains challenging. This article reports a generic strategy for constructing near‐edge states to improve carrier properties, leading to enhanced device performances. The near‐edge states are designed around the valence band edge using theoretical prediction and constructed through tailored material engineering. These states are experimentally revealed with activation energies of around 23 milli‐electron volts by temperature‐dependent time‐resolved spectroscopy. Such small activation energies enable prolonged carrier lifetime with efficient carrier transition dynamics and low non‐radiative recombination losses, as corroborated by the millisecond lifetimes of microwave conductivity. By constructing near‐edge states in positive‐intrinsic‐negative inverted cells, a champion efficiency of 25.4% (25.0% certified) for a 0.07‐cm2 cell and 23.6% (22.7% certified) for a 1‐cm2 cell is achieved. The most stable encapsulated cell retains 90% of its initial efficiency after 1100 h of maximum power point tracking under one sun illumination (100 mW cm−2) at 65 °C in ambient air.

Authors: Dong Huanhuan , Kang Ning , Li Lin , Li Li , Yu Yan , Chou Shulei 
Published: January 2024

AbstractVersatile nitrogen‐centered organic redox‐active molecules have gained significant attention in alkali metal‐ion batteries (AMIBs) due to their low cost, low toxicity, and ease of preparation. Specially, their multiple reaction categories (anion/cation insertion types of reaction) and higher operating voltage, when compared to traditional conjugated carbonyl materials, underscore their promising prospects. However, the high solubility of nitrogen‐centered redox active materials in organic electrolyte and their low electronic conductivity contribute to inferior cycling performance, sluggish reaction kinetics, and limited rate capability. This review provides a detailed overview of nitrogen‐centered redox‐active materials, encompassing their redox chemistry, solutions to overcome shortcomings, characterization of charge storage mechanisms, and recent progress. Additionally, prospects and directions are proposed for future investigations. It is anticipated that this review will stimulate further exploration of underlying mechanisms and interface chemistry through in situ characterization techniques, thereby promoting the practical application of nitrogen‐centered redox‐active materials in AMIBs.
Hexamethyldisilazane‐Mediated Synthesis of N‐Formamides, Benzimidazoles and Quinazolinones Using N,N‐Dimethylformamide as a C1 Source
Authors: Lin Wei‐Han , Liang Chien‐Fu 
Published: January 2024

AbstractThis paper presents a amidinyl transfer reagent for the synthesis of nitrogen‐containing compounds, wherein N,N‐dimethylformamide is used as the C1 source to react with hexamethyldisilazane, generating the N,N‐dimethylformimidamide intermediate. This intermediate is then reacted with amines to induce amidinyl transfer. This protocol can be applied for the synthesis of N‐formamide, benzimidazole and quinazolinone, for which amine derivatives used as substrates under optimized conditions. The advantages of this method are its operational simplicity, high efficiency, structural diversity in products with favorable yields, and applicability in gram‐scale operations.

Published: January 2024

AbstractBicycloalkanes, cubanes and their structural analogues have emerged as bioisosteres of (hetero)arenes. To meet increasing demand, the chemical community has developed a plethora of novel synthetic methods. In this review, we assess the progress made in the field of light‐driven construction and functionalization of such relevant molecules. We have focused on diverse structural targets, as well as on reaction processes giving access to: (i) [1.1.1]‐bicyclopentanes (BCPs); (ii) [2.2.1]‐bicyclohexanes (BCHs); (iii) [3.1.1]‐bicycloheptanes (BCHeps); and (iv) cubanes; as well as other structurally related scaffolds. Finally, future perspectives dealing with the identification of novel reaction manifolds to access new functionalized bioisosteric units are discussed.
Bayesian analysis of Markov modulated queues with abandonment
Authors: Ay Atilla , Landon Joshua , Özekici Süleyman , Soyer Refik 
Published: January 2024

AbstractWe consider a Markovian queueing model with abandonment where customer arrival, service and abandonment processes are all modulated by an external environmental process. The environmental process depicts all factors that affect the exponential arrival, service, and abandonment rates. Moreover, the environmental process is a hidden Markov process whose true state is not observable. Instead, our observations consist only of customer arrival, service, and departure times during some period of time. The main objective is to conduct Bayesian analysis in order to infer the parameters of the stochastic system, as well as some important queueing performance measures. This also includes the unknown dimension of the environmental process. We illustrate the implementation of our model and the Bayesian approach by using simulated and actual data on call centers.

Published: January 2024

AbstractThe design of an “H”‐shaped reactor has been studied to satisfy the possibility of using a triphasic medium to transform d‐glucose into 5‐hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) by a hybrid catalytic process using an immobilized glucose isomerase, allowing the isomerization of D‐glucose to d‐fructose, and a heterogeneous chemical catalyst to catalyze the dehydration of d‐fructose to HMF. The various parameters influencing the transport of d‐fructose within the reactor were studied, namely the difference in pH between the two aqueous phases, the agitation and the quantity of 3,4‐DCPBA/Aliquat336® used to extract and transport continuously the d‐fructose. The pH discrepancy, which must be between 5.0 and 5.5, turns out to be the real driving force behind the extraction of D‐fructose. The D‐Fru/3,4‐DCPBA molar ratio of 1/0.25 allowed the transport of more than 80 % of the D‐fructose initially present and shows that the same molecule of 3,4‐DCPBA is involved at least twice in the transport of D‐fructose and that the 3,4‐DCPBA/Aliquat336® couple performs a turnover within the organic phase. Finally, a HMF production yield of 30.9 % and an isomerization yield of 79.1 % were obtained, illustrating the shift in the isomerization equilibrium made possible by a D‐fructose extraction yield of 96.8 %.
Breaking the Symmetry of Nitrogen‐Coordinated Single‐Atom Catalysts for Advanced Peroxymonosulfate Oxidation
Authors: Li Xue , Long Mingce , Zhang Lizhi 
Published: January 2024

AbstractTuning the electronic distribution of the single‐atom sites in single‐atom catalysts (SACs) is crucial for unlocking their catalytic potential. The four‐nitrogen‐coordinated transitional metal (M−N4) configuration has been widely investigated in peroxymonosulfate (PMS)‐based advanced oxidation processes (PMS‐AOPs), but restricted by the sluggish electron transfer from PMS to generate the high‐valent metal‐oxo (HVMO), reactive species with high redox potentials and long half‐lives, for the degradation of organic pollutants in water due to its symmetric structure. Recently, the SACs with asymmetric coordination configurations are found to break the symmetric electronic distribution of M−N4, which facilitates the O−H and O−O bond breaking in PMS, thus promoting HVMO formation. Asymmetric coordination has emerged as a novel and effective strategy for single‐atom coordination modulation. In this paper, two strategies for breaking the symmetry of nitrogen‐coordinated SACs by planar heteroatom doping and axial optimization engineering are outlined, and the reaction mechanisms on the formation of HVMO species over asymmetrically coordinated SACs via PMS activation are highlighted. Finally, we prospect the development of asymmetrically coordinated SACs in water purification.

Published: January 2024

AbstractAs an alternative to Li‐ion batteries, aqueous Zn batteries have gained attention due to the abundance of Zn metal, low reduction potential (–0.76 V vs. standard hydrogen electrode), and high theoretical capacity (820 mAh g–1) of multivalent Zn2+ ion. However, the growth of Zn dendrites and the formation of irreversible surface reaction byproducts pose challenges for ensuring a long battery lifespan and commercialization. Herein, the Cu foil coated with a single‐walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) layer using a facile doctor blade casting method is utilized. The SWCNT‐coated Cu foil demonstrates a significantly longer battery lifespan compared to the bare Cu in the half‐cell tests. Through operando optical microscopy imaging, we are able to provide intuitive evidence that Zn deposition occurs between the carbon nanotube (CNT) coating and Cu substrate, in agreement with the computational results. Also, with various imaging techniques, the flat morphology and homogeneous distribution of Zn beneath the SWCNT layer are demonstrated. In addition, the full‐cell using CNT‐coated Cu exhibits a long cycle life compared to the control group, thereby demonstrating improved electrochemical performance with limited Zn for the cycling process.
Charge‐Assisted Ionic Hydrogen‐Bonded Organic Frameworks: Designable and Stabilized Multifunctional Materials
Authors: Chen Xu‐Yong , Cao Li‐Hui , Bai Xiang‐Tian , Cao Xiao‐Jie 
Published: January 2024

AbstractHydrogen‐bonded organic frameworks (HOFs) are a class of crystalline framework materials assembled by hydrogen bonds. HOFs have the advantages of high crystallinity, mild reaction conditions, good solution processability, and reproducibility. Coupled with the reversibility and flexibility of hydrogen bonds, HOFs can be assembled into a wide diversity of crystalline structures. Since the bonding energy of hydrogen bonds is lower than that of ligand and covalent bonds, the framework of HOFs is prone to collapse after desolventisation and the stability is not high, which limits the development and application of HOFs. In recent years, numerous stable and functional HOFs have been developed by π–π stacking, highly interpenetrated networks, charge‐assisted, ligand‐bond‐assisted, molecular weaving, and covalent cross‐linking. Charge‐assisted ionic HOFs introduce electrostatic attraction into HOFs to improve stability while enriching structural diversity and functionality. In this paper, we review the development, the principles of rational design and assembly of charge‐assisted ionic HOFs, and introduces the different building block construction modes of charge‐assisted ionic HOFs. Highlight the applications of charge‐assisted ionic HOFs in gas adsorption and separation, proton conduction, biological applications, etc., and prospects for the diverse design of charge‐assisted ionic HOFs structures and multifunctional applications.
Fine‐needle aspiration of amyloidoma: A critical analysis
Authors: Ramani Nisha S. , Krishnan Bhuvaneswari 
Published: January 2024

AbstractBackgroundAmyloid, presenting as a mass, is termed amyloidoma. Among the reported cases, fine‐needle aspiration (FNA) of amyloid is often misinterpreted as acellular nondiagnostic material.MethodsA computer search of all FNAs was performed and cases diagnosed as amyloidoma were identified.ResultsAmong 11,956 cases and 20,634 FNAs, there were six cases and 12 FNAs of amyloidoma. One case with mucin/myxoid matrix was misinterpreted as amyloid, which on our review was Congo red negative. All five other cases of amyloidoma were adequate for evaluation. The smears showed most of the aspirated contents in the middle of the slide and it did not spread when smeared. The amyloid was present as large chunks of waxy, smooth, orangophilic/cyanophilic fragments on Papanicolaou stain and as basophilic fragments on Diff‐Quik stain in a clean background. In cases with lymphoma/myeloma, there were admixed lymphocytes and/or plasma cells. Unlike fibrous tissue, amyloid aspirates well and provides adequate material for interpretation. The clean background distinguishes it from mucin/myxoid matrix. Congo red stain was positive with apple green birefringence in all five cases. Further subtyping by mass spectrometry showed AL (κ) type in three patients and AIns (insulin) type in one patient. In one patient with lymphoma, the subtyping was not done.ConclusionFNA of amyloidoma is rare (0.04%), but an optimal method for diagnosis and subtyping, avoiding unwanted surgical interventions. Although mistaken for fibrous tissue, which aspirates poorly, abundant acellular orangophilic/cyanophilic material on FNA should raise a suspicion for amyloid. Unlike mucin/myxoid matrix, amyloid does not smear the background.

AbstractKW‐6356 is a selective antagonist and inverse agonist of the adenosine A2A receptor. The primary aim of the present analysis was to characterize the pharmacokinetics (PK) of KW‐6356 and its active metabolite M6 in healthy subjects and patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). We pooled concentration‐time data from healthy subjects and patients with PD who were administered KW‐6356. Using these data, we developed a population PK model by sequentially fitting the KW‐6356 parameters followed by the M6 parameters. A first‐order absorption with a 1‐compartment model for KW‐6356 and a 1‐compartment model for M6 best described the profiles. The covariates included in the final models were food status (fed/fasted/unknown) on first‐order absorption rate constant, baseline serum albumin level on apparent clearance of KW‐6356, and baseline body weight on apparent volume of distribution of KW‐6356 and apparent clearance of M6. No covariate had a clinically meaningful impact on KW‐6356 or M6 exposure.

AbstractThe research focused on the development and evaluation of special detergents for washing fruits and vegetables, with the primary emphasis on removing pesticide residues. The research aimed to improve food safety and meet consumer preferences for effective cleaning of food products. Using the cloud point characteristic of non‐ionic surfactants, a ′smart′ detergent was developed to adapt to typical washing conditions. Optimization of the detergent system composition was conducted and the properties of the surfactant system in relation to the cloud point were investigated to highlight the importance of precise control over detergent behavior in response to temperature changes. The physicochemical properties study of the model washing baths included surface tension, aggregate size, solubilization properties, and foaming ability. A model detergent, tailored for both cleaning efficacy and safety against the skin, was developed. Washing efficacy tests demonstrated the superior ability of the designed detergent to remove pesticide residues, eliminating consumer concerns and promoting healthier and safer food consumption. The conducted research paves the way for innovative and safe detergents for washing fruits and vegetables, thereby increasing food safety and consumer satisfaction.

Published: January 2024

AbstractSoil acidification, a common issue in high‐rainfall areas of the U.S. and Canada, has become a more prevalent problem in the semi‐arid areas of the western U.S. Liming is an effective way to mitigate soil acidity as the carbonate reacts with hydrogen ions in the soil solution to increase the soil pH. However, questions exist about the type of liming product, lime rate, cost effectiveness, and how long the lime benefits last, especially in regions that have historically not needed lime, like much of the Great Plains.

Turbulence simulations with BOUT++ by using SOLPS grids for SOLPS/BOUT++ coupling
Authors: Zhang D. R. , Ding R. , Si H. , Chen Y. P. , Xu X. Q. , Xia T. Y. 
Published: January 2024

AbstractThe coupling of transport code SOLPS with the turbulence code BOUT++ was reported in Reference [D. R. Zhang et al., Phys. Plasmas 26, 012508 (2019)], while the grids of SOLPS and BOUT++ are not completely consistent with each other, especially in the divertor region. In the present work, a method of replacing the grids of BOUT++ with the grids of SOLPS is proposed to make the simulation region fully consistent with each other for the SOLPS/BOUT++ coupling. A SOLPS grid file is generated with an MHD equilibrium and used in BOUT++ code to simulate the profiles of plasma density, ion temperature, and electron temperature with the six‐field two‐fluid model. The profiles of the main plasma parameters simulated with the SOLPS grids are similar with the profiles simulated with the BOUT++ grids at the midplane, while the profiles are deformed compared with the profiles simulated with the BOUT++ grids at the outer divertor target because of the differences of the distributions of SOLPS grids and BOUT++ grids in the divertor region. The radial particle transport coefficient and heat transport coefficients are also calculated by using the BOUT++ code with the two grids, and the comparisons of the radial particle transport coefficient and heat transport coefficients simulated with the two grids at the midplane and outer divertor target plate are discussed.

AbstractCarangid fishes are commercially important in fisheries and aquaculture. They are distributed worldwide in both tropical and subtropical marine ecosystems. Their role in food webs is often unclear since their diet cannot be easily identified by traditional gut content analysis. They are suspected to prey on pelagic and benthic species, with clupeiform fishes being important dietary items for some species, though it is unknown whether carangids share food resources or show trophic segregation. Here, we used metabarcoding to overcome traditional challenges of taxonomic approaches to analyze the diet of seven carangid species caught as bycatch in the Brazilian southwest Atlantic sardine fishery. Stomach contents were processed from the following species: Caranx crysos, Caranx latus, Chloroscombrus chrysurus, Hemicaranx amblyrhynchus, Oligoplites saliens, Selene setapinnis, and Trachinotus carolinus. Identified diets were dominated by teleost fishes. The C. latus diet was the most distinct among the seven species, preferentially consuming Engraulis anchoita, but H. amblyrhynchus, O. saliens, and S. setapinnis also showed a trend of predominantly consuming small pelagic fishes. Finally, we found evidence of inter‐predation in carangids, especially strong between S. setapinnis and C. crysos, suggesting that consumption of early life stages may result in indirect competition through reduced recruitment in these fishes. These findings provide unprecedented insights into the biodiversity in marine ecosystems, especially the poorly known diet of carangid fishes.
