Published: September 2023

The textile and apparel industries have grown tremendouslyover the past few years.Customers no longer have to visit many stores, stand in long queues, or try on garments in dressing rooms, as millions of products are now available in online catalogs. However, given the plethora of options available, an effective recommendation system is necessary to properly sort, order, and communicate relevant product material or information to users. Effective fashion recommender systems (RSs) can have a noticeable impact on billions of customers’ shopping experiences and increase sales and revenues on the provider side.The goal of this survey is to provide a review of RSs that operate in the specific vertical domain of garment and fashion products. We have identified the most pressing challenges in fashion RS research and created a taxonomy that categorizes the literature according to the objective they are trying to accomplish (e.g., item or outfit recommendation, size recommendation, and explainability, among others) and type of side information (users, items, context). We have also identified the most important evaluation goals and perspectives (outfit generation, outfit recommendation, pairing recommendation, and fill-in-the-blank outfit compatibility prediction) and the most commonly used datasets and evaluation metrics.
Merging Distorted Nanographenes and Framework Materials
Authors: Mateo-Alonso Aurelio 
Published: September 2023

Nanographenes –polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons that extend over 1 nm– can adopt a broad range of non-planar conformations that challenge the perception of aromatic systems as rigid and flat structures. Such distorted structures are the result of the steric strain induced by overcrowding or congestion in key positions of the aromatic core. Distorted nanographenes have shown enhanced solubility and unique optoelectronic and chiroptical properties as an effect of their distorted molecular structure. Our group has pioneered the introduction of distorted nanographenes in framework materials.[1-5] This merge offers new possibilities in the design monomers with symmetries that deviate from standard graphitic geometries, and in turn, in the design of 2D and 3D covalent organic frameworks with unprecedented architectures and properties. The most recent advances of these distorted framework materials including synthetic routes, optoelectronic properties, self-organising properties, and potential applications will be discussed.

Rapid, Large Area Fabrication of Porous Graphene Networks Using Photothermal Flash Lamp Carbonization for High Performance Supercapacitors

Published: September 2023

Graphene materials exhibit intriguing physical, chemical, and mechanical properties. Remarkably high surface area and electrical conductivity make them excellent materials for energy storage applications, especially supercapacitors. The production of graphene requires relatively long processing times, extremely high temperatures within controlled atmospheres, and/or involves multi-step reactions that present challenges for high-throughput fabrication of energy storage devices. Moreover, supercapacitor devices fabricated using graphene suffer from low areal capacitance mainly due to the tortuous path of electrolytes in accessing the bulk of the material, which limits charge storage and transport throughout the thickness of the device.
We have developed an efficient photothermal route to large-scale production of few-layer graphene within milliseconds from polymers using high intensity xenon flash lamp on carbon fiber at ambient conditions. The xenon flash lamp provides large-area illumination and a wide emission band (300 nm –1100 nm) that was used to convert the polymeric material directly into few-layer graphene upon millisecond exposures. Specifically, photothermally heating of polyaniline, a rod like polymer with a large absorption cross-section in the emission spectra of xenon flash lamp, led to the formation of macroporous network as shown in Figure 1a. Characterization revealed the formation of few layer graphene ( ID/IG ratio less than 0.3) with good adhesion to the carbon fiber support, enabling the formation of devices in-situ. We investigated the influence of morphology as well as graphene quality on the energy storage capabilities of the obtained devices as shown in Figure 1b. The supercapacitor devices prepared with macroporous few-layer graphene network exhibited a superior areal capacitance of 200 mF/cm2 at 10 mV/s which is an order of magnitude higher than few layer graphene with a conventional film like structure. Also, it retained more than 70% of its capacitance even after increasing the scan rate to 100 mV/s. Moreover, large area processability enabled by this photothermal approach allowed us to easily produce graphene-derived high-performance supercapacitor devices over areas greater than 100 cm2 (Figure 1c) within a few milliseconds at ambient conditions. Hence, this work provides an energy efficient and scalable route to produce high-quality few layer graphene devices with superior energy storage capabilities.

Photocatalytic Use of Porphyrin Based Functional Materials
Authors: Lee Tai Yong , Lee Suk Joong 
Published: September 2023

Porphyrin-containing materials have been often used in photocatalysis for chemical transformations such as hydrogen evolution, CO2 reduction, purification, sterilization, and photoelectrochemical conversion. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) including free radicals/electrons and singlet oxygen (1O2) generated by photosensitizers are known to undergo secondary reactions such as multiple organic transformations and degradation of a wide variety of contaminants. Specially, they are often used for decomposition of chemical warfare agents (CWAs) such as sulfur mustard gas, which is one of the most notorious and effective chemical weapons. Various photocatalysts have been developed with successful use of ROS in photooxidation reactions. For example, in photodegradation of 2-chloroethyl ethyl sulfide (2-CEES), a sulfur mustard simulant, and demonstrated a selective decomposition to 2-chloroethyl ethyl sulfoxide (2-CEESO). Note that overoxidation of 2-CEESO generates 2-chloroethyl ethyl sulfone (2-CEESO2, fully oxidized product) and becomes a highly toxic material. Therefore, selective oxidation of 2-CEES without generating 2-CEESO2 is considered an important process in the detoxification of sulfur mustard gas.
In this presentation, photocatalytic application of porphyrin based materials including PIM, silica, MOF and nanofiber will be demonstrated. Although porphyrins are well-known photosensitizers for effective photocatalytic reactions, they often suffer from self-degradation. Incorporation of porphyrins into nano materials may prevent self-degradation, resulting in effective systems with a long lifetime.

Facilitated electrochemical properties of plasma are crucial for improving functional nanomaterials synthesis and design for novel sensor development. Controlled customization and functionality tailoring at multiscale is the targeted challenge for better detection devices performance. In the modern era of optoelectronics, among various probing approaches, plasmonic sensing accompanied by Raman, FTIR or Fluorescent spectroscopy is considered a tool for the efficient investigation of molecular properties. In particular, Raman scattering is often called SERS (surface-enhanced Raman scattering) due to plasmonic enhancers, which are used to improve the probing of analytes at a reduced scale. This feature is extremely useful for biologically relevant analytical tasks when samples alike DNA and similar need to be investigated fast and accurately. DNA/RNA-related investigations are highly important in modern nanomedicine due to the solid progress of bionanotechnology, DNA vaccines, and functional gene engineering. DNA is the most valued substance for microbiologists because it contains information about bio-species' nature.[1] Currently, the number of molecular-sensitive methods for DNA-level study is quite limited, among which PCR (polymer chain reaction) related methods dominate the field. However, it is challenging to investigate it with optical techniques like SERS. Despite being promising, SERS is still under technological and analytical improvement. Better performance comes with sophisticated plasmonic nanomaterials, which provide considerably improved photon scattering due to the strongly localized field confinement effect.[2] In the current report, a well-performing nanoplasmonic sensor was designed using a plasma-driven electrochemical reduction mechanism. Exploiting atmospheric pressure He-plasma jet setup operating kHz frequency, the reactive oxidative species donated electrons via liquid-gas electrochemistry towards the Ar-delivered Au(3+)-containing microdroplets. Through this method, microscaled aggregates composed of AuNPs were obtained from the nebulized ionic gold liquid precursor. Due to the strong coupling between nanoparticles, a high analytical enhancement factor of about 107 was achieved and the substrate allowed to obtain Raman fingerprints of bacterial DNA fragments (M. luteus and S. aureus, E. coli, J. lividum) at nanovolume sample quantities. In addition, main DNA molecular vibrational signatures associated with nucleobase motions were extracted from spectra collected and used to classify the bacterial strains reliably by employing statistical principal component analysis.

(Invited) Redox Chemistry Driven by Atmospheric Pressure Plasma Jet
Authors: Caruana Daren 
Published: September 2023

Plasmas may be considered as mixed ionic and electronic conductors. From an electrochemical point of view, a conducting gas presents a wonderful opportunity to explore redox reactions without all the restrictions a solvent medium provides. Identifying a plasma medium suitable to allow electrochemical measurements can be technically challenging, often due to the electrical energy used to create the plasma. However, atmospheric pressure plasma jets (APPJ)1&2 have been shown to be accessible and convenient as laboratory plasma sources. They present a medium that may be considered as an electrode, due to the presence of electrons or as electrolytes, due to their electrical conduction.3 Although its definition is not too important, the presence of free electrons gives an opportunity to drive reduction processes.
The interesting aspect of non-thermal plasmas, and the root of their interesting chemistry, is partly due to the imbalance of thermal kinetic energy distribution between the electron and all the other species, neutral or ionized. As a consequence plasma jets are found in routine industrial applications such as etching or cleaning of surfaces for adhesion promotion. Furthermore, there is a growing body of evidence to suggest that APPJ may be used for the treatment of solid tumors. These highly energized electrons can drive redox reactions, as well as other chemical reactions, at solid or liquid can be unexpected. In this presentation I will explore the use of APPJ for reduction of metal oxides under potentiostatic control and material synthesis.4-6

Novel Thermal Batteries Based on Sodium Chemistries
Authors: Bateman Katherine , Gover Richard K. B. , Irvine John Thomas Sirr 
Published: September 2023

Thermal batteries are high temperature primary batteries that function when an electrolyte, that is solid at room temperature, becomes molten at the operating temperature of the battery between 350 and 550 °C. This type of battery is valuable in high consequence scenarios when high power is required rapidly such as in ejector seats and space flight. Thermal batteries can withstand very harsh treatments and can be stored for many years without self-discharge. The most common thermal battery used today consists of an Li13Si4 anode, LiCl-KCl electrolyte and an FeS2 or CoS2 cathode. However, rising concerns regarding the sustainability of lithium has required that alternative chemistries such as using sodium be explored.
The use of sodium as an anode on its own is not suitable in thermal batteries due to its low melting point of 100 °C, so the use of sodium-based alloys such as NaSn (melting point 578 °C) and Na3Sb (melting point 859 °C) is investigated in this work. The identification of electrolytes with suitable melting points that are compatible with the operating temperature of the thermal battery and the melting point of the anode has also been undertaken since the electrolyte needs to melt at least 100 °C lower than the anode. Three such eutectic salts are NaCl-MgCl2 (melting point 451 °C), NaCl-MgCl2-KCl (melting point 383 °C) and NaCl-MgCl2-CaCl2 (melting point 424 °C).
Solid state and mechano-synthesis methods for preparation of the anode and electrolyte materials will be discussed as well as characterisation techniques such as PXRD, SEM, EDS, impedance measurements and DSC for the individual components of the battery. The impedance measurements are used to evaluate the conductivity of both the electrolyte and anode materials. The conductivity of the sodium-based electrolytes has been found to have the same order of magnitude as the LiCl-KCl electrolyte used in the standard thermal battery, typically between 0.5 and 2 Scm-1. Assembly and testing of a thermal battery cell will also be elucidated. Preliminary tests of a sodium based thermal battery with an FeS2 cathode have given voltages up to 2 V.
3D Microstructure Modeling of Lithium Ion Batteries during Rapid Charging
Authors: Lopata Joseph Steven , Garrick Taylor R. , Wang Fengkun , Zhang Han , Zeng Yangbing , Shimpalee Sirivatch 
Published: September 2023

Battery models can be used to predict conditions ripe for lithium metal plating in the anode during rapid charging. One common procedure is to simulate a rapid charge using a pseudo-two-dimensional (P2D) model and determine if and when the minimum local potential reaches 0.0 V with respect to metallic lithium in the anode. This normally occurs at higher states of charge during a DC fast charging or rapid regenerative charging event. However, we have recently determined that three-dimensional (3D) models, while broadly agreeing with P2D results, demonstrate much variation in the in-plane and through plane direction, which P2D models cannot resolve. Because P2D models employ effective medium approximations, any “local” value in the P2D space along the through-plane coordinate represents an average across a slice of the domain. Therefore, it may be insufficient to use minimum anode potentials from P2D models as indicators of local plating and may only be representative of global lithium plating onset.
In this work, the results of rapid-charge 3D microstructure simulations are compared to P2D results. This allows us to verify whether rapid charging induces negative local potentials at the anode active material surface that are left undetected in a P2D model. The expected result implies that the 3D microstructure model is necessary to predict the onset of lithium plating.
Predicting the Heat Generation Rate in Large Format Pouch-Type Lithium-Ion Battery Cells for Automotive Applications
Authors: Zhang Han , Garrick Taylor R. , Labaza Christine , Gao Jing , Koch Brian , Du Xiaoniu , Choi Chihwan , Choe Song-Yul 
Published: September 2023

Accurate prediction of the heat generation rate of lithium ion batteries is critical for driving towards a cost effective and efficient design of a thermal management system for various applications.[1, 2] because of the increase in battery cell dimensions associated with an increase in battery cell capacity to drive towards a reduction in range anxiety for automotive applications, as well as more aggressive operating conditions that are typically seen in the automotive industry, such as direct current fast charge and sustained driving under load, heat generation at the cell level must be considered as spatially nonuniform during operation. Proper design of the thermal management system requires prediction[3] of the heat generation of the battery cell in both a lumped fashion for system sizing, as well as a distributed mode in order to focus cooling appropriately to decrease local temperature extremes. Local temperature extremes can adversely affect the aging of the battery cell due to the non-uniformities in electrochemical utilization of the active material, increased local reaction rates, and increased mechanical stresses in active materials.
In this work, we detail our efforts to characterize the heat generation[4] of a battery cell under a variety of operating conditions, quantify the impact of temperature non-uniformities[5] on the aging of the battery cell, and experimentally[6, 7] evaluate the localized aging in the battery electrodes based on local temperature conditions. Here, we will describe the modeling methods developed to link operating conditions, aging, and heat generation with the electrochemical performance of the battery cell. A discussion of the model performance for relevant automotive applications will also be included.

Research and Evaluation of Cathode Dispersant for Improving the Performance of Lithium Ion Batteries
Authors: KIM Young SU , Kim Kwang In , Song Shi jin , Seong Hoon moh , Eom Jin ju , Oh Sang yeop 
Published: September 2023

Various attempts have been made to increase the efficiency of the anode. In this way, in order to improve the battery performance of the cathode, the performance of not only the cathode material but also the materials used together has a great influence. Among them, a conductive material is needed to improve the performance of the battery by promoting the movement of electrons between active materials. Representative materials of such a conductive material are carbon black and carbon nanotubes (CNT). However, due to the characteristics of such a material, the dispersibility in the positive electrode slurry is poor, which is a limitation in improving battery efficiency. Therefore, this study was conducted to confirm the improvement of the dispersibility of the conductive material and the improvement of the battery performance through it.
In the study, H-NBR, a representative anode dispersant, was used as a reference material by applying carbon nanotube (CNT), which has recently been increasingly used as a conductive material. The evaluation items were largely divided into the characteristics of the dispersant and the battery performance. The characteristics of the dispersant were viscosity, particle size, processability, dispersion stability, etc., and the battery characteristics could be confirmed through evaluation of LSV, CV, DC-IR, etc.
Covalent Organic Frameworks As Functional Support Materials
Authors: Streater Daniel , Chiromo Humphrey 
Published: September 2023

Covalent Organic Frameworks are photoactive materials that could play a future role in photophysical devices
or as photocatalyst anchoring sites. Despite challenges associated with processing them into usable forms
there is reason to be optimistic about the possibilities they could hold for functional support materials. One
reason for optimism is the simplicity with which their topological symmetry can be altered to enhance
photogenerated charge separation which may open the door for their use as functional support materials with
novel properties that may open new doors for device engineers.
