AbstractThe artificial solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) layer is capable of protecting lithium anodes and preventing side reactions with electrolytes. The development of inorganic/organic composite hybrid SEI can be considered as an efficient strategy to combine the merits of high lithium ion conductivity, high mechanical modulus, and high flexibility. However, it still poses a great challenge to solve the agglomeration problem in these composite SEI to maintain the strong interaction between SEI and lithium metal. Herein, an inorganic/organic bilayer ultra‐thin SEI (P‐FEM@Li) derivative from reactive fluorinated copolymer (P‐FEM) is prepared and shows ultra‐large Young's modulus (> 75 GPa). The robust inorganic LiF‐rich layer provides superior ionic conductivity and large modulus, while the flexible organic polymer layer regulates lithium ions transport and interphase compatibility. The lithium anodes with P‐FEM induced bilayer SEI demonstrate stable cycles for more than 4400 h at 1 mA cm−2 and the average coulombic efficiency (CE) of Li||P‐FEM@Cu is 99.78% after 100 cycles. Moreover, the P‐FEM@Li||NCM811 punch cell with 428 Wh kg−1 exhibits a high‐capacity retention of 73% after 175 cycles. This work provides a new way to prepare practical SEI for lithium anodes.

Published: January 2025

AbstractLiquid metal nanoparticles (LMNPs) are being considered as promising candidates for printable electronics owing to their high conductivity and fluidity, as well as improved wettability comparable to that of bulk LMs. However, the high surface tension and weak adhesion of LMNPs pose formidable challenges to their facile patterning on various substrates for diverse applications. Herein, a new LMNP‐polymer composite is reported for multifunctional printable electronics, which is achieved by introducing α‐lipoic acid (LA)/choline chloride (ChCl) polymerizable deep eutectic solvents (PDESs) as ideal polymer carriers. Simply with the ring‐opening polymerization (ROP) of LA, highly conductive LMNP‐PDES composites can be patterned on the surface of various substrates using facile printing methods. Benefiting from the hydrogen bondings within PDES, the printed LMNP‐PDES traces feature enhance adhesion on substrates and consistent performances under different deformations. More importantly, they can be easily dissolved in ethanol via thermal treatment and reprinted for further use, showing excellent recyclable capability. Demonstrations of stretchable sensor, conformal electrode, and smart actuator validate the versatility and reliability of this LMNP‐PDES composite, ensuring its broad prospects on printable electronics.

AbstractBurn care and treatment differ markedly from other types of wounds, as they are significantly more prone to infections and struggle to maintain fluid balance post‐burn. Moreover, the limited self‐healing abilities exacerbate the likelihood of scar formation, further complicating the recovery process. To tackle these issues, an asymmetric wound dressing comprising a quercetin‐loaded poly(3‐hydroxybutyrate‐co‐4‐hydroxybutyrate) (P34HB@Qu) hydrophilic layer and a zinc oxide nanoparticle‐loaded, thermally treated polyvinylidene fluoride (HPVDF@ZnO) hydrophobic layer is designed. This dressing provided antibacterial property and exudate management in the early stages of burn treatment, preventing infection and maintaining moisture balance at the wound site. As healing progresses, the electroactive properties of HPVDF@ZnO and quercetin from P34HB@Qu synergistically regulate cell migration and differentiation, accelerating wound healing and facilitating scar‐free regeneration. Furthermore, the wound dressing assisted in the regeneration of skin appendages. This study underscores the full‐cycle strategy of versatile wound dressings for spatiotemporal burn wound management from injury to scarless healing.

AbstractAnion exchange membrane fuel cells (AEMFCs) are among the most promising sustainable electrochemical technologies to help solve energy challenges. Compared to proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs), AEMFCs offer a broader choice of catalyst materials and a less corrosive operating environment for the bipolar plates and the membrane. This can lead to potentially lower costs and longer operational life than PEMFCs. These significant advantages have made AEMFCs highly competitive in the future fuel cell market, particularly after advancements in developing non‐platinum‐group‐metal anode electrocatalysts, anion exchange membranes and ionomers, and in understanding the relationships between cell operating conditions and mass transport in AEMFCs. This review aims to compile recent literature to provide a comprehensive understanding of AEMFCs in three key areas: i) the mechanisms of the hydrogen oxidation reaction (HOR) and the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in alkaline media; ii) recent advancements in the synthesis routes and structure‐property relationships of cutting‐edge HOR and ORR electrocatalysts, as well as anion exchange membranes and ionomers; and iii) fuel cell operating conditions, including water management and impact of CO2. Finally, based on these aspects, the future development and perspectives of AEMFCs are proposed.

AbstractCopper‐based electrocatalysts are recognized as crucial catalysts for CO2 electroreduction into multi‐carbon products. However, achieving copper‐based electrocatalysts with adjustable valences via one‐step facile synthesis remains a challenge. In this study, Cu/Cu2O heterostructure is constructed by adjusting the anion species of the Cu ions‐containing electrolyte during electrodeposition synthesis. Then, Cu/Cu2O with tuned nanoarchitectures ranging from dendrites to polyhedrons is achieved by introducing transition metal ions as additives, leading to an adjustable interfacial microenvironment for CO2/H2O adsorption on the Cu/Cu2O electrodes. Additionally, the polyhedral Cu/Cu2O catalysts are used as templates for depositing Ag single atoms (AgSA), which are known as synergistic active sites for promoting *CO to *COH toward C2+ products. The prepared AgSA‐Cu/Cu2O catalyst is evaluated in a flow cell and exhibited a FEC2+ of 90.2% and a partial current density (jc2+) of 426.6 mA cm−2 for CO2 electroreduction. As revealed by in situ Raman spectra and density functional theory calculations, the introduction of Ag single atoms slows down the reduction of Cu+ during CO2 electroreduction, especially at a high current density. This work provides a promising paradigm for diverse control of the compositions and hydrophobicity of Cu‐based catalysts for selective CO2 electroreduction to C2+ products.

Published: January 2025

AbstractPresently, the in vitro recording of intracellular neuronal signals on microelectrode arrays (MEAs) requires complex 3D nanostructures or invasive and approaches such as electroporation. Here, it is shown that laser poration enables intracellular coupling on planar electrodes without damaging neurons or altering their spontaneous electrophysiological activity, allowing the process to be repeated multiple times on the same cells. This capability distinguishes laser‐based neuron poration from more invasive methods like electroporation, which typically serve as endpoint measurement for cells. It is demonstrated that planar MEA electrodes, when combined with laser cell optoporation and live cell staining, can record spontaneous intracellular signaling from primary neurons in vitro. This approach allows for the detection of attenuated signals resembling positive monophasic intracellular action potentials. Recordings after laser optoporation also reveal subthreshold signals such as post‐synaptic potentials that are essential for assessing neuronal network plasticity and connectivity. Moreover, the noninvasiveness of the process enables repeated intracellular recordings over multiple days from the same cells.

AbstractThe coffee‐ring effect, caused by uneven deposition of colloidal particles in perovskite precursor solutions, leads to poor uniformity in perovskite films prepared through large‐area printing. In this work, the surface of SnO2 is roughened to construct a Wenzel model, successfully achieving a super‐hydrophilic interface. This modification significantly accelerates the spreading of the perovskite precursor solution, reducing the response delay time of perovskite colloidal particles during the printing process. Additionally, the micro‐spherical depression structure on the SnO2 surface effectively inhibits the migration of colloidal particles toward the edges of liquid film, trapping perovskite colloidal particles at the buried interfaces and improving film uniformity. Due to the synergistic effect of super‐hydrophilicity and micro‐rough structure on the surface of SnO2, leading to a substantial improvement in the quality of perovskite crystals. Therefore, the efficiency of printing prepared flexible devices (0.101 cm2) reached 25.42% (certified 25.12%). Moreover, the efficiency of rigid and flexible large‐scale perovskite solar modules (PSMs) based on meniscus‐coating manufacture reached 21.34% and 16.99% (100 cm2), respectively, and demonstrated superior environmental stability by maintaining an initial efficiency of 91% after being stored in atmospheric conditions for 2000 h, offering practical guidance for fabricating high‐performance and stable large‐scale perovskite solar cells (PSCs).

AbstractQuantitative assessment for post‐stroke spasticity remains a significant challenge due to the encountered variable resistance during passive stretching, which can lead to the widely used modified Ashworth scale (MAS) for spasticity assessment depending heavily on rehabilitation physicians. To address these challenges, a high‐force‐output triboelectric soft pneumatic actuator (TENG‐SPA) inspired by a lobster tail is developed. The bioinspired TENG‐SPA can generate approximately 20 N at 0.1 MPa, providing sufficient stretching force for spastic fingers. The anti‐interference, durability, and electrical output characteristics of the TENG‐SPA under varying conditions—such as different air pressures, bending frequencies, and simulated spastic finger stretching—are explored, demonstrating TENG‐SPA's ability to sense resistance during the stretching process. Furthermore, a TENG‐SPA‐enabled hand rehabilitation robot system integrated with the convolutional neural network (CNN) is further developed, which is tested in a clinical trial involving 15 stroke patients. The results have demonstrated that a classification accuracy for the levels of finger spasticity reaches 93.3% and the MAS scores predicted by the CNN regression model exhibit a strong linear relationship with the actual MAS (R2 = 0.8451, p < 0.01). This study presents promising potential applications in digital rehabilitation medicine, human–machine interaction, biomedicine, and related fields.

AbstractAiming at discovering new positive electrode materials with superior electrochemical performance for application in lithium‐ion batteries, this work focuses on the design of fluorine‐free, manganese‐rich disordered rock salt (DRX) cathodes. Samples with a starting composition of Li1.1Mn0.8Ti0.1O2 are successfully prepared by facile solid‐state synthesis and further optimized through a design of experiments approach. Several key factors are examined, including carbon type and content as well as lithium (precursor) excess. The tailored DRX/carbon composites, using either graphite or multiwalled nanotubes, are capable of delivering specific capacities of up to 190 mAh g−1 and exhibit high cycling stability, with the capacity retention being greater than 90% after 100 cycles. This study emphasizes the importance of screening key factors in developing next‐generation battery materials.

Published: January 2025

AbstractThe presence of aromatics in diesel oil significantly reduces its overall quality. Ionic liquids (ILs) combined with extraction technology were proposed to separate three typical bicyclic aromatics and two monocyclic aromatics from diesel oils. The solubility of IL in raffinate phase was introduced as a crucial factor in IL screening process. The accuracy of COSMO‐RS model was evaluated using 2942 LLE data points. 1,3‐dimethylimidazolium methylsulfate was considered a suitable extractive solvent. The optimal operating conditions were identified by varying the extraction temperatures, solvent ratios, and stages. Heptane was used as a back‐extractive solvent to recover IL; the regenerative and humidity stability of selected IL were proven. The separation mechanisms were explored through molecular dynamic simulation and quantum chemistry calculation. Cation plays a more critical role in the extraction process than anion. The extraction performance mainly depends on the π–π stacking and C–H···O H‐bond formed between BAHs molecules and IL.

ABSTRACTObjectivesWe need to better understand how the menstrual cycle interacts with other biological systems, such the inflammation and immune response. One way to study this interaction is through C‐reactive protein (CRP). Studies of CRP concentrations across the menstrual cycle have been inconsistent. This study explores menstrual cycle CRP variation in two geographically different samples of Polish and Polish American individuals.MethodsAnalyses were conducted on 76 Polish and 22 Polish American daily urine samples collected on the first day of menstruation until the start of their next period. CRP, estrone‐3‐glucuronide, and pregnanediol‐3‐glucuronide were assayed. Sample‐specific linear mixed models were used to examine cycle effects and median CRP concentrations across cycle phases and between the start of menses and remainder of the cycle were compared using Kruskal‐Wallace and Dunn tests.ResultsPolish and Polish American samples had distinct menstrual cycle CRP phenotypes. The Polish sample did not show cycle effects. The Polish American LMM demonstrated that CRP decreases after the first 3 days of menses (estimate −0.17, t‐value −5.2). The KW and Dunn tests supported this. CRP concentrations were higher during the early follicular (median 0.406, p < 0.05), specifically the first 3 days of menstruation (median 0.466, p < 0.01), and lower in the luteal (median 0.277, p < 0.05).ConclusionsResults suggest that changes in CRP during menstrual cycle are not universal across populations. In the Polish American sample, CRP was highest during the early follicular, specifically the first 3 days of menstruation, suggesting a potential relationship between the menstrual cycle and inflammation.

ABSTRACTDetermining karyotype‐phenotype correlations for individuals with Turner syndrome (“TS individuals”) is a longstanding research endeavor. The limited literature on Turner syndrome (TS) with a ring X chromosome hinders counseling about the neuropsychological and clinical features. To further characterize these phenotypes, we compared 27 TS individuals with 46,X,r(X)/45,X (“ring X”) to 50 non‐mosaic 45,X, and 27 mosaic 45,X/46,XX (“mosaic 45,X”) individuals. This retrospective cohort study of 104 individuals reported on cardiac and renal malformations, endocrine and neuropsychological conditions, and applied contemporary terminology in a nuanced framework to assess intellectual developmental disorder (IDD). We noted an increased IDD risk for TS individuals with ring X compared to mosaic 45,X and non‐mosaic 45,X, though at a lower frequency (26%, 6 of 23) than previously reported. Across karyotypes, 49% (16 of 33) of TS individuals with neuropsychological evaluations had a diagnosis of other specified neurodevelopmental disorder due to TS. In TS individuals with ring X, there was an increased risk for hypothyroidism, whereas bicuspid aortic valve and horseshoe kidney were less frequent compared to other karyotypes. These results add to the limited literature on TS individuals with ring X and can inform the counseling of TS individuals, caregivers, and expectant parents.

AbstractMetallhalogenid‐Perowskite haben ein außerordentliches Potenzial für die Umwandlung von Sonnenenergie in elektrische Energie in der Photovoltaik gezeigt, doch ihre Anwendung wird durch eine begrenzte Betriebsstabilität behindert. Dies hat die Entwicklung hybrider, geschichteter (zweidimensionaler, 2D) Halogenid‐Perowskite auf der Grundlage hydrophober organischer Spacer (Abstandshalter) angeregt, die Perowskit‐Schichten als stabilere Alternative ermöglichen. Herkömmliche organische Spacer‐Kationen sind jedoch elektronisch isolierend, was zu einem Ladungseinschluss innerhalb der anorganischen Schichten führt und damit deren Funktionalität einschränkt. Dies kann durch die Erweiterung der π‐Konjugation der Spacer‐Kationen verbessert werden. Wir zeigen, dass wir Zugang zu Ruddlesden‐Popper‐ und Dion‐Jacobson‐2D‐Perowskiten haben, die zum ersten Mal Aryl‐Acetylen‐basierte (4‐Ethinylphenyl)methylammonium‐ (BMAA) bzw. Buta‐1,3‐Din‐1,4‐diylbis(4,1‐phenylen)dimethylammonium‐ (BDAA) Spacer enthalten. Wir bewerten ihre einzigartigen opto(elektro)ionischen Eigenschaften durch eine Kombination von Techniken und wenden sie in gemischtdimensionalen Perowskit‐Solarzellen an, die eine überragende Leistung mit einem Wirkungsgrad von bis zu 23 % und eine höhere Betriebsstabilität aufweisen, was den Weg für Multifunktionalität in geschichteten Hybridmaterialien und deren Anwendung öffnet.

AbstractThe recent coronavirus disease (COVID‐19) forced pre‐university professionals to modify the educational system. This work aimed to determine the effects of pandemic situation on students' access to medical studies by comparing the performance of medical students. We evaluated the performance of students enrolled in a subject taught in the first semester of the medical curriculum in two pre‐pandemic academic years (PRE), two post‐pandemic years (POST), and an intermediate year (INT) using the results of a final multiple‐choice exam. Consistency analysis among periods was performed using the Cronbach alpha coefficient (α), the difficulty index with random effects correction (DI), and the point‐biserial correlation index (PB). The five exams were homogeneous and had similar α, DI, and PB difficultness. Performance significantly decreased in POST students compared with PRE students, with a correlation between performance and the academic years (PRE‐POST). A significant decrease in the percentage of correct answers was detected in the academic years, with POST students showing lower results than PRE students, but not in the percentage of questions answered incorrectly. Significantly higher percentages of unanswered questions were found among POST students. These results confirm the negative impact of the POST pre‐university educational system on the performance of students accessing medical school and suggest that POST students could have a higher degree of uncertainty. Specific education programs should be implemented during the first years of the medical curriculum to tailor this effect and increase students' self‐confidence and knowledge, which may be associated with confidence.
