Published: April 2023

AbstractAll‐solid‐state lithium batteries (ASSLBs), exhibiting great advantages of high energy density and safety, are proposed to be the next generation energy storage system. However, the successful commercialization of garnet‐based ASSLBs is hindered by the poor contact between solid‐state electrolytes (Li6.25Ga0.25La3Zr2O12, LGLZO) and lithium anode, as well as low critical current density (CCD). Herein, an indium tin oxide (ITO) layer is prepared on LGLZO by ultrasonic spraying technique, where ITO reacts with molten lithium to form a composite interlayer, consisting of Li13In3, Li2O, and LiInSn. Experiments and density functional theory calculations demonstrate that such a unique interlayer plays a multifunctional role in achieving simultaneously better interface wettability, uniform Li deposition, and dendrite suppression at Li/LGLZO interface. Consequently, the CCD of ITO‐treated symmetric cell is increased to a record‐high value of 12.05 mA cm−2 at room temperature, which is expected to promote practical application of ASSLBs. Moreover, the Li/ITO@LGLZO/Li cell exhibits a low interfacial resistance of only 5.9 Ω cm2 and performs stable electrochemical operations for over 2000 h at 2 mA cm−2. The Li/ITO@LGLZO/LiFePO4 full cell also delivers superior electrochemical performances, demonstrating the efficiency of the ITO layer.

AbstractTo go beyond polyethylene oxide in lithium metal batteries, a hybrid polymer/oligomer cell design is presented, where an ester oligomer provides high ionic conductivity of 0.2 mS cm−1 at 40 °C within thicker composite cathodes with active mass loadings of up to 11 mg cm−2 (LiNbO3‐coated) LiNi0.6Mn0.2Co0.2 (NMC622), while a 30 µm thin scaffold‐supported polymer electrolyte affords mechanical stability. Corresponding discharge capacities of the hybrid cells exceed 170 mAh g−1 (11 mg cm−2) or 160 mAh g−1 (6 mg cm−2) at rates of either 0.1 or 0.25 C. Multilayer pouch cells are projected to enable energy densities of 235 Wh L−1 (6 mg cm−2) and even up to 356 Wh L−1 (11 mg cm−2), clearly superior to other reported polymer‐based cell designs. Polyester electrolytes are environmentally benign and safer compared to common liquid electrolytes, while the straightforward synthesis and affordability of precursors render hybrid polyester electrolytes suitable candidates for future application in solid‐state lithium metal batteries.

AbstractMaterdicine‐augmented sonodynamic therapy has emerged as an efficient noninvasive strategy for cancer treatment by generating reactive oxygen species associated with the cavitation effect and sonosensitizers. However, semiconductor‐based inorganic nanosonosensitizers have undesirable nondegradability, which can cause unsatisfactory therapeutic efficacy and potential toxicity. With the aim of overcoming this obstacle, in this study, Mo‐assisted Te (MT) nanosonosensitizers with high oxidative degradation abilities are engineered for photoacoustic imaging (PA)‐guided sonodynamic tumor nanotherapy. Intriguingly, the engineered MT nanosonosensitizers can generate abundant singlet oxygen under ultrasound irradiation to eradicate tumor cells, thereby demonstrating its ability to achieve high tumor growth inhibition rates. In particular, MT nanosonosensitizers exhibit oxidative degradation properties that guarantee desirable biocompatibility and potentiate clinical translation. Therefore, this study validates a paradigm for theory‐oriented design of sonodynamic tumor nanotherapy.

AbstractConversion/alloying‐type anodes are drawing attention due to their high theoretical capacities, but inferior reversibility, especially under low current densities, has hampered potential applications. Conventional strategies mainly focus on conversion/alloying processes, whereas the intercalation process is rarely analyzed. Herein, the intercalation process is correlated with conversion/alloying processes by ion dispersion states. BiOCl/Ti3C2Tx MXene van der Waals heterostructure is selected as a proof‐of‐concept system. Multifunctional MXenes not only contribute to atomic dispersion and boosted ion diffusion at the first cycle by constructing a novel heterostructure but serve as supporting frameworks to sustain long‐term structural stability. Consequently, a cell with BiOCl/MXene anode delivers an ultralong cycle‐life of running over ten months, maintaining a high capacity of 225 mAh g−1 over 1300 cycles at 100 mA g−1 and a retention of 81.3%. These findings verify that enhanced initial intercalation can facilitate higher reversibility and shed light on developing high‐performance conversion/alloying‐type anodes.

Published: April 2023

AbstractCancer cells are addictive to exogenous methionine to gear toward tumor proliferation. Meanwhile, they can replenish methionine pool from polyamine metabolism through a methionine salvage pathway. However, the current developed therapeutic tactics for methionine depletion are still facing great challenges in terms of the selectivity, safety, and efficiency. Herein, a sequential positioned metal–organic framework (MOF) nanotransformer is designed to selectively exhaust the methionine pool via inhibiting the uptake of methionine and throttling its salvage pathway for enhanced cancer immunotherapy. The MOF nanotransformer can restrain the open source and reduce the reflux of methionine to exhaust the methionine pool of cancer cells. Moreover, the intracellular traffic routes of the sequential positioned MOF nanotransformer match well with the distribution of polyamines, which is conducive to the oxidation of polyamines via its responsive deformability and nanozyme‐augmented Fenton‐like reaction for the final exhaustion of intracellular methionine. These results verify that the well‐designed platform cannot only kill cancer cells efficiently but also promote the infiltration of CD8 and CD4 T cells for intensive cancer immunotherapy. Overall, it is believed that this work will inspire the construction of novel MOF‐based antineoplastic platforms and provide new insights into the development of metabolic‐related immunotherapy.

Published: April 2023

AbstractMXenes, 2D transition metal carbides, nitrides, and carbonitrides, have been investigated for diverse applications since their discovery; however, their life‐cycle assessment (LCA) has not been studied. Here, a “cradle to gate” LCA is performed to assess the cumulative energy demand (CED) and environmental impacts of lab‐scale synthesis of Ti3C2Tx, the most researched MXene composition. Electromagnetic interface (EMI) shielding is selected as it is one of MXenes' most promising applications and LCA of Ti3C2Tx synthesis is compared to aluminum and copper foils, two typical EMI‐shielding materials. Two laboratory‐scale MXene synthesis systems—gram and kilogram batches—are examined. The CED and environmental implications of Ti3C2Tx synthesis are investigated based on its precursor production, selective etching, delamination processes, laboratory location, energy mix, and raw material type. These results show that laboratory electricity usage for the synthesis processes accounts for >70% of the environmental impacts. Manufacturing 1.0 kg of industrial‐scale aluminum and copper foil releases 23.0 kg and 8.75 kg of CO2, respectively, while 1.0 kg of lab‐scale MXene synthesis releases 428.10 kg. Chemical usage is less impactful than electricity, which suggests that recycled resources and renewable energy can make MXene synthesis more sustainable. Understanding MXene LCA helps the industrialization of this material.
Ultrathin and Ultra‐Broadband Terahertz Single‐Layer Metasurface Based on Double‐Arrow‐Shaped Resonator Structure for Full‐Space Wavefront Manipulation

Published: April 2023

AbstractIn this paper, a simple design of an ultrathin and ultra‐broadband single‐layer MS based on double‐arrow‐shaped resonator (DASR) structure for both transmission and reflection modes in terahertz (THz) region is presented. The single‐layer MS is composed of a periodic array of the combination of the metal DASR and complementary circular patch (CCP) adhered on an ultrathin dielectric substrate. Numerical results show that the MS structure can convert CP wave to its orthogonal component after reflection and transmission simultaneously, and the corresponding amplitudes are ≈0.45 on average from 0.45 to 1.75 THz with a relative bandwidth of 118.2%, in which the CP conversion efficiency is closing to theoretical limit (25%) of the single‐layer structure. Furthermore, the 0–2π phase shifts for the reflected and transmitted orthogonal CP wave can be achieved simultaneously by adjusting the oriented angle (α) of the DASR structure along the wave propagation direction. For the concept proofs, wave beams deflection, vortex beam generation, and focusing effect for both reflection and transmission modes are demonstrated numerically. The design can provide new possibilities and potential to develop multifunctional full‐space devices.

AbstractArtificial peroxisomes (APEXs) or peroxisome mimics have caught a lot of attention in nanomedicine and biomaterial science in the last decade, which have great potential in clinically diagnosing and treating diseases. APEXs are typically constructed from a semipermeable membrane that encloses natural enzymes or enzyme‐mimetic catalysts to perform peroxisome‐/enzyme‐mimetic activities. The recent rapid progress regarding their biocatalytic stability, adjustable activity, and surface functionality has significantly promoted APEXs systems in real‐life applications. In addition, developing a facile and versatile system that can simulate multiple biocatalytic tasks is advantageous. Here, the recent advances in engineering cell membrane‐cloaked catalysts as multifaceted APEXs for diverse biomedical applications are highlighted and commented. First, various catalysts with single or multiple enzyme activities have been introduced as cores of APEXs. Subsequently, the extraction and function of cell membranes that are used as the shell are summarized. After that, the applications of these APEXs are discussed in detail, such as cancer therapy, antioxidant, anti‐inflammation, and neuron protection. Finally, the future perspectives and challenges of APEXs are proposed and outlined. This progress review is anticipated to provide new and unique insights into cell membrane‐cloaked catalysts and to offer significant new inspiration for designing future artificial organelles.

Published: April 2023

AbstractIn nature, some semiaquatic arthropods evolve biomechanics for jumping on the water surface with the controlled burst of kinetic energy. Emulating these creatures, miniature jumping robots deployable on the water surface have been developed, but few of them achieve the controllability comparable to biological systems. The limited controllability and agility of miniature robots constrain their applications, especially in the biomedical field where dexterous and precise manipulation is required. Herein, an insect‐scale magnetoelastic robot with improved controllability is designed. The robot can adaptively regulate its energy output to generate controllable jumping motion by tuning magnetic and elastic strain energy. Dynamic and kinematic models are developed to predict the jumping trajectories of the robot. On‐demand actuation can thus be applied to precisely control the pose and motion of the robot during the flight phase. The robot is also capable of making adaptive amphibious locomotion and performing various tasks with integrated functional modules.

Published: April 2023

AbstractProton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) is one of the most promising energy conversion devices with high efficiency and zero emission. However, oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) at the cathode is still the dominant limiting factor for the practical development of PEMFC due to its sluggish kinetics and the vulnerability of ORR catalysts under harsh operating conditions. Thus, the development of high‐performance ORR catalysts is essential and requires a better understanding of the underlying ORR mechanism and the failure mechanisms of ORR catalysts with in situ characterization techniques. This review starts with the introduction of in situ techniques that have been used in the research of the ORR processes, including the principle of the techniques, the design of the in situ cells, and the application of the techniques. Then the in situ studies of the ORR mechanism as well as the failure mechanisms of ORR catalysts in terms of Pt nanoparticle degradation, Pt oxidation, and poisoning by air contaminants are elaborated. Furthermore, the development of high‐performance ORR catalysts with high activity, anti‐oxidation ability, and toxic‐resistance guided by the aforementioned mechanisms and other in situ studies are outlined. Finally, the prospects and challenges for in situ studies of ORR in the future are proposed.

AbstractThe silica gel promoted straightforward remote para‐C−H hydroxylation of aryl‐urea derivatives under metal‐free mild conditions by using diacetoxyiodobenzene as oxidant has been developed. Replacing the Lewis acids with silica gel effectively improved the tolerance of functional groups and resulted in a wide range of target compounds with various substituents in moderate to excellent yields. Moreover, this transformation has been demonstrated that could more effectively and conveniently synthesize pharmaceutical and biomedical compounds which contain 4‐hydroxyarlyurea skeleton.

AbstractIntroductionOperationalized research criteria for mild cognitive impairment with Lewy bodies (MCI‐LB) were published in 2020. The aim of this systematic review and meta‐analysis was to review the evidence for the diagnostic clinical features and biomarkers in MCI‐LB set out in the criteria.MethodsMEDLINE, PubMed, and Embase were searched on 9/28/22 for relevant articles. Articles were included if they presented original data reporting the rates of diagnostic features in MCI‐LB.ResultsFifty‐seven articles were included. The meta‐analysis supported the inclusion of the current clinical features in the diagnostic criteria. Evidence for striatal dopaminergic imaging and meta‐iodobenzylguanidine cardiac scintigraphy, though limited, supports their inclusion. Quantitative electroencephalogram (EEG) and fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (PET) show promise as diagnostic biomarkers.DiscussionThe available evidence largely supports the current diagnostic criteria for MCI‐LB. Further evidence will help refine the diagnostic criteria and understand how best to apply them in clinical practice and research.Highlights

AbstractAdhesive joints are degraded when exposed to moist conditions, making it essential to assess the permeation distance of absorbed moisture. However, monitoring the water penetration in the adhesive layer is challenging because the adhesive layer is sandwiched between the adherends. To overcome this difficulty, we proposed a new monitoring system using fiber‐type near‐infrared spectroscopy (NIRS), and the moisture distribution at the joint was successfully observed by introducing quartz glass as one side of the substrate. First, the change in the absorbance spectra owing to water absorption by an epoxy adhesive was investigated by immersing epoxy‐coated aluminum alloy plates in temperature‐controlled water. It was found that the water content can be evaluated by monitoring the change in the peak intensity appearing around 1900–1950 nm. Next, water penetration into the adhesive layer sandwiched between the quartz glass and aluminum alloy was investigated by scanning the surface. The water permeation distance was found to change with temperature. Under the 23°C immersion condition, approximately 2.5 mm of water penetration was observed after 8 weeks. Because the simulation results using Fick's law of diffusion showed similar trends, it was experimentally confirmed that Fickian diffusion dominates the water distribution in the adhesive layer.
