Published: December 2022

AbstractLithium–sulfur (Li–S) batteries hold great promise for the next‐generation energy storage system. However, their commercial applications are severely hindered by myriads of drawbacks such as poor electrical conductivity of sulfur, sluggish redox reaction kinetics of sulfur species, “shuttling effect” of soluble lithium polysulfides (LiPSs) and uncontrollable dendritic Li growth. Herein, it is conceptually demonstrated that sluggish conversion kinetics of LiPSs is markedly stimulated by exquisite heterointerface modulation at nanoscale level over transition metal carbides and nitrides. In this scenario, N‐doped carbon coupled with molybdenum nitride/carbide (Mo2N‐MoC/NC) hybrid nanocomposites are designed through a one‐step carbonization‐nitridation process, wherein component regulation induced dense heterointerfaces are in situ produced. Benefiting from high electrical conductivity, strong chemical adsorption, and superior catalytic activity afforded by dense heterointerfaces, the Mo2N‐MoC/NC modified separators significantly restrict the soluble LiPSs shuttling and simultaneously suppress the Li dendrite generation. The assembled Li–S batteries with Mo2N‐MoC/NC modified separators exhibit remarkable electrochemical performance. Integrated experimental and theoretical results substantiate the boosted chemisorption and catalytic conversion of LiPSs endowed by such dense heterointerfaces. The work will open a new vista for rationally constructing multifarious heterostructured materials for the communities of Li‐S batteries.

AbstractThe dearth of suitable materials significantly restricts the practical development of infrared (IR) laser systems with highly efficient and broadband tuning. Recently, γ‐NaAsSe2 is reported, and it exhibits a large nonlinear second‐harmonic generation (SHG) coefficient of 590 pm V−1 at 2 µm. However, the crystal growth of γ‐NaAsSe2 is challenging because it undergoes a phase transition to centrosymmetric δ‐NaAsSe2. Herein, the stabilization of non‐centrosymmetric γ‐NaAsSe2 by doping the As site with Sb, which results in γ‐NaAs0.95Sb0.05Se2 is reported. The congruent melting behavior is confirmed by differential thermal analysis with a melting temperature of 450 °C and crystallization temperature of 415 °C. Single crystals with dimensions of 3 mm × 2 mm are successfully obtained via zone refining and the Bridgman method. The purification of the material plays a significant role in crystal growth and results in a bandgap of 1.78 eV and thermal conductivity of 0.79 Wm−1 K−1. The single‐crystal SHG coefficient of γ‐NaAs0.95Sb0.05Se2 exhibits an enormous value of |d11| = 648 ± 74 pm V−1, which is comparable to that of γ‐NaAsSe2 and ≈20× larger than that of AgGaSe2. The bandgap of γ‐NaAs0.95Sb0.05Se2 (1.78 eV) is similar to that of AgGaSe2, thus rendering it highly attractive as a high‐performing nonlinear optical material.

AbstractMechanical system with adjustable stiffness and damping (ASAD) shows great potential in vibration suppression of aircraft, vehicle, precise instrument, etc. However, current ASAD systems consist of power, sensing, and controlling components, which bring huge challenges of system reliability and integrability, and critically limit its application diversity. Herein, we proposed the first strategy for regulating ASAD system that is system simplification, self‐powered and no‐delay by deeply coupling triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) and electrorheological fluid (ERF). Under the time‐varying mechanical triggering, the local and time correlated output of TENG instantaneously applied on the ERF regulates the entire mechanical system dynamically and “in‐phase”. As an illustration, the resonance of a cantilever system is effectively suppressed naturally without complicated controlling strategy, and the vibration isolating efficiency reaches up to 85.2%. Finally, a mechanical transmission system is demonstrated utilizing a rotary TENG and ERF, excellent soft‐start performance is enabled by this self‐regulating ASAD strategy. This work may provide the opening arsenal of methodologies used in self‐powered and self‐regulating mechanical systems.

Published: December 2022

AbstractThe importance and practicality of near‐infrared (NIR) light for the biomedical field has attached importance to the academe and industry with the development of technology. Luminescent materials with different doping strategies are promising candidates for covering near‐infrared biological windows from 700 nm to 1 700 nm. The relationship between NIR light, nanophosphors, and biological tissue towards the function of diagnostic and therapy in different NIR windows is explored clearly, which corresponds to diffuse reflection spectroscopy with bioimaging and light‐emitting diode (LED) photobiomodulation. The diseases can be monitored with specific chromophore absorption under the NIR light source, which also can be traced to the dynamic change of the biological environment by luminescent materials. Especially in brain diseases, cytochrome c oxidase in mitochondria as the crucial photoreceptor can be activated under NIR irradiation to achieve the non‐invasive treatment of neuron protection and recovery. NIR light attributed to LED or nanophosphors show the potential of theranostic approaches in biomedical technology. Cr3+‐ and Ni2+‐activated phosphors covering NIR windows I and II are presented with optical properties to explore the feasibility and practicability of non‐invasive precise medical treatment in the future.

Published: December 2022

AbstractIt is extremely significant and desirable to integrate the fascinating mechanochromism and photochromism in one simple molecule. Herein, two intriguing cyanostilbene‐containing triphenylamine (TPA)/tetraphenylethylene (TPE) derivatives (Z‐TPA‐MB and Z‐TPE‐MB) are elaborately designed, which not only display excellent aggregation‐induced emission (AIE) properties with high solid‐state fluorescence quantum yields (60.9% and 63.8%) but also exhibit reversible and high contrast mechanochromism and distinct photochromism. The powders of Z‐TPA‐MB and Z‐TPE‐MB both exhibit large red‐shift under mechanical stimulation based on the highly twisted conformation and the resulting loose packing mode, accompanied by significant changes in apparent and fluorescent colors. Meanwhile, their solid‐state fluorescence can be reversibly switched between crystalline and amorphous structures through alternating grinding and solvent fuming, exhibiting good fatigue resistance. In addition, the molecules also exhibit distinct dual‐mode photochromic behaviors owing to the presence of cyanostilbene moieties: under 420/365 nm light irradiation, the fluorescence of which decreases in solution owing to the photo‐isomerization, while decreases and blue‐shifts in the aggregated state owing to the photodimerization reactions. The reversible, tractable, and high‐contrast mechanochromism and distinct photochromism of the cyanostilbene‐containing molecules endow them with excellent application prospects in the field of rewritable papers and photo‐patterning.

AbstractThis work reports the incorporation of a triphenylamine‐based macrocyclic donor to design new donor‐π‐acceptor‐configured blue thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) emitters. The X‐ray structure analyses manifest the degree of twisted conformations that can be modulated by methyl substituents of the π‐bridge and macrocyclic donor, leading to well‐separated highest occupied natural transition orbital and lowest unoccupied natural transition orbital frontier orbitals, thus sufficiently small singlet–triplet energy difference (ΔEST) for TADF. The theoretical analyses elucidate the structure–property relationship and reveal the beneficial effect of macrocyclic donor on increasing reverse intersystem crossing (RISC) process that can contribute to improved triplet‐upconversion efficiency. The blue device employing c‐NN‐TRZ as emitter gave a maximum external quantum efficiecny (EQEmax) of 26.3% as compared to that (19.1%) of the device using the model compound DPA‐MeTRZ without the macrocyclic donor, suggesting the contribution of macrocyclic donor to enhance device performance. Benefiting from the combined advantages of macrocyclic donor and methyl substituents, the device incorporating c‐NN‐MeTRZ as emitter achieves an outstanding EQEmax of 32.2%, which is attributed to the more horizontally oriented emission dipoles as well as the significantly accelerated RISC rate constant (kRISC) resulting from reduced ΔEST. This work represents a new strategy of designing twisted TADF emitter incorporating macrocyclic donor to achieve highly efficient blue device.

AbstractDinuclear silver(I) and gold(I) complexes have been prepared from (NHC‐thiophene)‐substituted ethylene (NHC = N‐heterocyclic carbene). Both the 1,2,3,4‐tetrathienylethene (TTE)‐bridged tetrakisazolium salts (H4‐L1(PF6)4 and H4‐L2(PF6)4) and the 2,2′‐(diphenylethene‐1,1‐diyl)dithiophene (DPDT)‐bridged bisimidazolium ligand precursors H4‐L3(PF6)2 have been prepared and are treated with Ag2O to give dinuclear tetracarbene complexes [Ag2L](PF6)2 (L = L1, L2) and [Ag2(L3)2](PF6)2, respectively. The silver(I) complexes undergo a transmetalation reaction with [AuCl(THT)] (THT = tetrahydrothiophene) to furnish gold(I) NHC complexes with retention of the original structures. All complexes have been characterized by multi‐nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and high‐resolution electrospray ionization (HR‐ESI) mass spectrometry, and single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction analysis. The thiophene‐containing NHC complexes exhibit aggregation‐induced emission behavior in acetonitrile/water solutions and temperature‐dependent fluorescence properties.

AbstractSeed‐borne pathogens can inhabit the rhizosphere and infect the plant after germination. The rhizosphere microbiome plays critical roles in defending against seed‐borne pathogens. However, the assembly of a core rhizosphere microbiome to suppress seed‐borne pathogens is unknown. Here, the root‐associated microbiome is infested with seed‐borne Fusarium in sterile environment, while the root‐associated microbiome is not infested when it interacts with the native soil microbiome across maize cultivars, suggesting that a core rhizosphere microbiome assembles to suppress seed‐borne Fusarium. Two strategies of progressive dilution and rhizodepositional attraction are applied to identify the core rhizobacteria. A synthetic microbiota (SynM) is constructed using the isolates of the core rhizobacteria and optimized according to superior community stability and Fusarium‐suppression capability, which surpasses the single strain and randomly formed microbiota. The optimized SynM (OptSynM) presents a distinctive cooperative pattern in which a key strain harbors the Fusarium suppression function by synthesizing the antagonistic substance fengycin, while other members intensify the functional performance by promoting the growth and the expression of the antagonistic and plant‐growth‐promoting related genes of the key strain. This study demonstrates innovative approaches to construct stable and minimal microbiota for sustainable agriculture and proposes a unique cooperative pattern to sustain community stability and functionality.

Published: December 2022

AbstractIn ‐conjugated polymers, a highly ordered backbone structure and solubility are always in a trade‐off relationship that must be overcome to realize highly efficient and solution‐processable organic photovoltaics (OPVs). Here, it is shown that a ‐conjugated polymer based on a novel thiazole‐fused ring, thieno[2′,3′:5,6]benzo[1,2‐d:4,3‐d′]bisthiazole (TBTz) achieves both high backbone order and high solubility due to the structural feature of TBTz such as the noncovalent interlocking of the thiazole moiety, the rigid and bent‐shaped structure, and the fused alkylthiophene ring. Furthermore, based on the electron‐deficient nature of these thiazole‐fused rings, the polymer exhibits deep HOMO energy levels, which lead to high open‐circuit voltages (VOCs) in OPV cells, even without halogen substituents that are commonly introduced into high‐performance polymers. As a result, when the polymer is combined with a typical nonfullerene acceptor Y6, power conversion efficiencies of reaching 16% and VOCs of more than 0.84 V are observed, both of which are among the top values reported so far for “halogen‐free” polymers. This study will serve as an important reference for designing ‐conjugated polymers to achieve highly efficient and solution‐processable OPVs.

Published: December 2022

AbstractThe issues of inadequate cycle stability and energy density for aqueous zinc‐ion batteries (ZIBs) can be partly addressed by controlling cathode dissolution and structural deterioration and improving electronic conductivity and reaction kinetics. Herein, vanadium nitride embedded nitrogen‐doped carbon nanofiber (VN/N‐CNFs) composites with 3D self‐supported skeletons and hierarchical structures are developed by an electrospinning technique and thermal treatments. The introduction of vanadium‐based metal organic frameworks (V‐MOFs) contributes to in situ hierarchical growth of whisker‐like secondary structures and homogeneous distribution of 0D active VN nanograins into both trunk nanofibers and branched nano‐whiskers. The protective and conductive carbon matrix derived from functional V‐MOFs and electrospun nanofibers not only prevents the self‐aggregation of highly‐active 0D nanograins, but also provides encapsulating shells to suppress the vanadium dissolution by controlling the direct contact with aqueous electrolytes. Furthermore, the flexible and free‐standing 3D electrospun VN/N‐CNFs skeletons contribute high structural integrity for the aqueous ZIBs, exhibiting an ultra‐long cycle lifespan with reversible capacity of 482 mAh g−1 after cycling at 50 A g−1 for 30,000 cycles and a super‐high rate capability with discharge capacity of 297 mAh g−1 at high rate of 100 A g−1. This research sheds light upon a pathway toward designing superior ZIBs.

AbstractDespite significant progress in energy retention, lithium‐ion batteries (LIBs) face untenable reductions in cycle life under extreme fast‐charging (XFC) conditions, which primarily originate from a variety of kinetic limitations between the graphite anode and the electrolyte. Through quantitative Li+ loss accounting and comprehensive materials analyses, it is directly observed that the operation of LIB pouch cells at 4 C||C/3 (charging||discharging) results in Li plating, disadvantageous solid‐electrolyte‐interphase formation, and solvent co‐intercalation leading to interstitial decomposition within graphite layers. It is found that these failure modes originate from the insufficient properties of conventional electrolytes, where employing a designed ester‐based electrolyte improved the capacity retention of these cells from 55.9% to 88.2% after 500 cycles when operated at the aforementioned conditions. These metrics are the result of effective mitigation of the aforementioned failure modes due to superior Li+ transport and desolvation characteristics demonstrated through both experimental and computational characterization. This work reveals the vital nature of electrolyte design to XFC performance.
Cancer incidence and surveillance strategies in individuals withRASopathies
Authors: Ney Gina , Gross Andrea , Livinski Alicia , Kratz Christian P. , Stewart Douglas R. 
Published: December 2022

AbstractRASopathies are a set of clinical syndromes that have molecular and clinical overlap. Genetically, these syndromes are defined by germline pathogenic variants in RAS/MAPK pathway genes resulting in activation of this pathway. Clinically, their common molecular signature leads to comparable phenotypes, including cardiac anomalies, neurologic disorders and notably, elevated cancer risk. Cancer risk in individuals with RASopathies has been estimated from retrospective reviews and cohort studies. For example, in Costello syndrome, cancer incidence is significantly elevated over the general population, largely due to solid tumors. In some forms of Noonan syndrome, cancer risk is also elevated over the general population and is enriched for hematologic malignancies. Thus, cancer surveillance guidelines have been developed to monitor for the occurrence of such cancers in individuals with some RASopathies. These include abdominal ultrasound and urinalyses for individuals with Costello syndrome, while complete blood counts and splenic examination are recommended in Noonan syndrome. Improved cancer risk estimates and refinement of surveillance recommendations will improve the care of individuals with RASopathies.

The present work opens up an efficient method to amides under mild conditions.

Published: December 2022

AbstractA highly dispersed melamine/red phosphorus (MA/RP) composite flame retardant was prepared by means of simple mechanical grinding. After co‐thermal pretreatment with polyether polyol (PPG‐2000) at 135°C, organic–inorganic hybrid foams (MA/RP/HF) containing MA/RP flame retardant were prepared by the one‐step method using main raw materials such as polyisocyanate and sodium silicate. When 0.5 wt% MA/RP with the mass ratio of 1:5 is added, MA can realize the uniform dispersion of RP in the substrate and enhance its flame retardancy, and the obtained MA/RP/HF presents uniform and closed pores and excellent basic properties. The TG results reveal that MA/RP/HF shows good thermal stability and the corresponding char residual rate reaches 37.9% at 800°C. The flame retardant test results prove that MA/RP/HF is capable of passing the V‐0 grade, with the LOI value being 26.8%. According to the cone calorimeter analysis, its peak heat release rate and total heat release decrease by 30.1% and 51.7% compared with those of rigid polyurethane‐based foam and by 40.1% and 30.0% compared with those of pure HF, respectively. Finally, the synergistic flame retardancy mechanism of MA and RP on polyurethane‐based foam was discussed.
