AbstractThe key to producing high‐energy Li‐ion cells is ensuring the interfacial stability of Si‐containing anodes and Ni‐rich cathodes. Herein, 4‐(allyloxy)phenyl fluorosulfate (APFS), a multi‐functional electrolyte additive that forms a mechanical strain‐adaptive solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) comprising LiF and polymeric species, and a thermally stable cathode–electrolyte interface containing SO and SF species. The radical copolymerization of vinylene carbonate (VC) with APFS via electrochemical initiation creates a spatially deformable polymeric SEI on the SiG‐C (30 wt.% graphite + 70 wt.% SiC composite) anode, with large volume changes during cycling. Moreover, the APFS‐promoted interfacial layers reduce Ni dissolution and deposition. Furthermore, APFS deactivates the Lewis acid PF5, thereby inhibiting hydrolyses that produce unwanted HF. These results indicate that the combined use of VC with APFS allows capacity retentions of 72.5% with a high capacity of 143.5 mAh g−1 in SiG‐C/LiNi0.8Co0.1Mn0.1O2 full cells after 300 cycles at 45 °C.

AbstractPrecise determination of the structure‐property relationship of zeolite‐based metal catalysts is critical for the development toward practical applications. However, the scarcity of real‐space imaging of zeolite‐based low‐atomic‐number (LAN) metal materials due to the electron‐beam sensitivity of zeolites has led to continuous debates regarding the exact LAN metal configurations. Here, a low‐damage high‐angle annular dark‐field scanning transmission electron microscopy (HAADF‐STEM) imaging technique is employed for direct visualization and determination of LAN metal (Cu) species in ZSM‐5 zeolite frameworks. The structures of the Cu species are revealed based on the microscopy evidence and also proved by the complementary spectroscopy results. The correlation between the characteristic Cu size in Cu/ZSM‐5 catalysts and their direct oxidation of methane to methanol reaction properties is unveiled. As a result, the mono‐Cu species stably anchored by Al pairs inside the zeolite channels are identified as the key structure for higher C1 oxygenates yield and methanol selectivity for direct oxidation of methane. Meanwhile, the local topological flexibility of the rigid zeolite frameworks induced by the Cu agglomeration in the channels is also revealed. This work exemplifies the combination of microscopy imaging and spectroscopy characterization serves as a complete arsenal for revealing structure‐property relationships of the supported metal‐zeolite catalysts.

AbstractOver the past decades, there has been an escalating rise in the need for chemicals and catalytic materials to keep up with global demands. Addressing those issues by conventional methods often becomes inefficient, with myriad operational risks. Process intensification methods through procedural and equipment‐based modifications have been considered greener, have higher heat and mass transfer rates, and operate with lower costs. In this review, research using ultrasonic reactors and microreactors, along with developments through an integrated external energy source, for synthesizing acrylic microspheres is covered extensively. Acrylic microspheres have garnered much interest for their biocompatibility, affinity toward functionalization, and wide range of applications. Core–shell, composite, functional‐group modified, and porous acrylic microspheres are used for enzyme immobilization and as catalyst carriers. The use of acrylic support has provided huge improvements in catalytic activity, reusability, recyclability, and overall stability. Finally, various other process intensification methods and alternate support materials are covered to help enhance future developments in the field of catalysis.

AbstractAs a 3D bioprinting technique, digital light processing (DLP) has become popular due to its capability to provide high‐throughput and high‐resolution constructs with precise chemical and biological factor distributions. However, despite the advancements in DLP technology, several hurdles remain, including phototoxicity, extensive printing time, and the limited portfolio of biocompatible/photo‐cross‐linkable materials. Recently, few works have attended to resolve some of these issues. However, state‐of‐the‐art techniques bear on complex imaging processing, require highly skilled personnel, and operate with non‐biocompatible/photo‐cross‐linkable materials. Additionally, they are not yet capable of multi‐layer and multi‐material printing of biocompatible/photo‐cross‐linkable materials to fabricate physiologically relevant cell‐laden structures. Herein, a novel DLP‐based 3D‐bioprinting technology called photopolymerization of orderly extruded multi‐materials (POEM), is proposed, developed, and fully characterized. The utility of the POEM technique for rapid and high‐resolution 3D‐printing of multi‐material, multi‐layer, and cell‐laden structures is demonstrated. The printed configurations show high cell viability (≈80%) and metabolic activity for more than 5 days. As a study model, a 3D‐structure representing the esophagus is also successfully printed and characterized. It is envisioned that the reported light‐based POEM technique here enables the fabrication of 3D‐cell‐laden structures in a multi‐material and multi‐layer printing manner in biocompatible/photo‐cross‐linkable materials essential to construct complex heterogeneous tissues/organs.

AbstractFerroelectrets, featuring strong piezoelectric activity, flexibility, lightweight, and low cost, are advanced material and have attractive prospects for various sensors and actuators. However, large‐scale production of ferroelectret‐based devices and their straightforward implementation in complicated structures remain difficult tasks. In this study, a novel self‐shielding threadlike piezoelectric pressure sensor based on irradiation cross‐linked polypropylene (IXPP) ferroelectrets with a symmetric coaxial structure, named Ferroelectret Coaxial Sensor (FCS), is designed, prepared, and characterized. Besides, such sensors with a length of up to 300 m are successfully produced by an industrial continuous production line, confirming that the fabrication procedure is compatible with it and that the FCS can be mass‐produced in the future. The results show that the hydrostatic piezoelectric coefficient up to 55 pC/N is achieved in the FCS, which is around four times of magnitude higher than those of commercially available piezo‐cables made of poly (vinylidene fluoride). Smart carpets and wristers weaved with an integrated FCS, that can be produced by an industrial production line, are sensitive, flexible/stretchable, washable, and breathable, demonstrating great potential in motion recognition for health care. A laboratory prototype of traffic sensors based on the FCS indicates its capability in speed meauring and dynamic weighing for vehicles. This study will greatly promote applications of ferroelectrets in wearable devices, smart housing, intelligent transportation, etc.

AbstractSoft actuators with good flexibility, high stability, and excellent controllability have attracted extensive attention. However, dual‐modal smart self‐perception actuator with contact and noncontact actuating mode remains a challenge. Notably, soft actuators with in situ self‐sensing monitoring capabilities have gained increasing attention in smart flexible devices. This work reports a smart actuator composed of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS)/magnetorheological elastomer (MRE)/Ag/ polyimide (PI) (PMAP), which can not only well respond to bending stimuli but also be actuated by electromagnetic dual‐modal actuation. Benefiting from the nanowire–nanoflake coupling structure of conductive Ag layer, the PMAP film exhibits excellent electrical sensing and electro‐heat generation behavior. The ΔR/R0 of PMAP film increases from 5.1% to 24.7% during the bending test. Moreover, the PMAP film realizes contact electrothermal actuation due to the mismatch of thermal expansion coefficient between PDMS matrix and PI tape. Under applying a 16 s of 2 V electrothermal actuation, the bending angle of PMAP film can increase from 31.1° to 219.3°. Moreover, MRE matrix endows the PMAP film with noncontact magnetic deformation characteristic. This multifunctional smart flexible device integrated with in situ sensing perception and contact and noncontact dual‐modal actuation performances possess high potential in electronic devices and robots.

AbstractComplex‐shaped microgels are promising building blocks for soft metamaterials. Their active and remote orientational control provides significant potential in architecting them in time and space. This work describes the use of magnetically actuable microgels of complex shape for spatio‐temporal flow control and showcases the concept for microfluidic impellers. First, the fabrication of complex‐shaped magnetically actuable poly(ethylene glycol) diacrylate based microgels via stop‐flow lithography is presented. The microgels comprise a pre‐programmed magnetic moment set by pre‐aligned maghemite nanospindles during the fabrication step. This feature allows the microgels to be positioned in a static magnetic field and rotate under application of a rotating external field. The dependence of the magnetic field rotation rate and strength, maghemite content, and microgel shape on the magnetic response of the microgels is comprehensively quantified. Finally, the magnetic complex‐shaped microgels are integrated as actuable impellers in a microfluidic chip. The microgels are positioned in space by polymerizing them around fixed poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) pillars. Free rotation around the PDMS pillar is achieved due to the oxygen inhibition layer at the chip and pillar surface. The versatility of the fabrication methodology is showcased by the investigation of in‐chip mixing in a microfluidic device consisting of soft responsive impellers.

AbstractThe utility of visible light for 3D printing has increased in recent years owing to its accessibility and reduced materials interactions, such as scattering and absorption/degradation, relative to traditional UV light‐based processes. However, photosystems that react efficiently with visible light often require multiple molecular components and have strong and diverse absorption profiles, increasing the complexity of formulation and printing optimization. Herein, a streamlined method to select and optimize visible light 3D printing conditions is described. First, green light liquid crystal display (LCD) 3D printing using a novel resin is optimized through traditional empirical methods, which involves resin component selection, spectroscopic characterization, time‐intensive 3D printing under several different conditions, and measurements of dimensional accuracy for each printed object. Subsequent analytical quantification of dynamic photon absorption during green light polymerizations unveils relationships to cure depth that enables facile resin and 3D printing optimization using a model that is a modification to the Jacob's equation traditionally used for stereolithographic 3D printing. The approach and model are then validated using a distinct green light‐activated resin for two types of projection‐based 3D printing.

AbstractLead halide perovskite nanocrystals (NCs) have recently drawn considerable attention in the fields of materials science and nanotechnology. However, a major drawback of these NCs is the reliance on toxic lead, which hinders widespread application. Herein, a new class of lead‐free perovskite NCs, that is, lanthanide double perovskite (Ln‐DP) NCs, with f‐orbital‐induced optical properties, is introduced. The Pr‐, Ce‐, Tb‐, Eu‐, Sm‐, and Yb‐based Ln‐DP NCs display narrow d→f and f→f emissions ranging from the UV‐C to the near‐infrared spectral region. Experimental data and calculations reveal that the emissive Ln‐DP NCs exhibit small molecule‐like electronic absorptions: f→d atomic transitions or ligand‐to‐metal charge transfer transitions. Last, it is demonstrated that by alloying Ln compositions in the DP NCs, new materials with unique and improved optical properties can be obtained. These Ln‐DP NCs are promising for optical sensing and lighting, and as components in optoelectronic and/or magneto‐fluorescent devices.

AbstractMeat is among the most consumed foods worldwide and has a unique flavor and high nutrient density in the human diet. However, the genetic and biochemical bases of meat nutrition and flavor are poorly understood. Here, 3431 metabolites and 702 volatiles in 423 skeletal muscle samples are profiled from a gradient consanguinity segregating population generated by Pekin duck × Liancheng duck crosses using metabolomic approaches. The authors identified 2862 metabolome‐based genome‐wide association studies (mGWAS) signals and 48 candidate genes potentially modulating metabolite and volatile levels, 79.2% of which are regulated by cis‐regulatory elements. The level of plasmalogen is significantly associated with TMEM189 encoding plasmanylethanolamine desaturase 1. The levels of 2‐pyrrolidone and glycerophospholipids are regulated by the gene expression of AOX1 and ACBD5, which further affects the levels of volatiles, 2‐pyrrolidone and decanal, respectively. Genetic variations in GADL1 and CARNMT2 determine the levels of 49 metabolites including L‐carnosine and anserine. This study provides novel insights into the genetic and biochemical basis of skeletal muscle metabolism and constitutes a valuable resource for the precise improvement of meat nutrition and flavor.

Published: April 2023

AbstractWinterkill is a major concern for turf‐type bermudagrasses [Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers. and C. dactylon (L.) Pers. × C. transvaalensis Burtt‐Davy] when cultivated in the US transition zone and frequently occurring drought conditions challenge bermudagrass management. Therefore, developing new bermudagrasses with both drought resistance and winter survivability are needed for the future sustainability of the turfgrass industry in the transition zone. How these two traits interact within bermudagrass populations is not widely reported. Accordingly, the objectives of this study were to estimate reliability for spring green‐up (SG) (as an indicator of winter survivability) and drought response in turf‐type bermudagrasses. A total of 77 experimental genotypes and 7 cultivars were planted in a randomized complete block design with 3 replications over 2 years in Goodwell, OK, USA. Substantial genetic variations were found for drought response and SG parameters when analyzed by year, but variations for SG parameters and leaf firing were not significant when analyzed across years. The reliability estimates for drought response ranged from low to moderate (i2 = 0.24–0.61), whereas the subsequent estimates for SG were low (i2 = 0.13–0.33), suggesting poor reliability. The low‐to‐moderate reliability values in SG were likely due to antecedent drought injuries, indicating that winter survivability and drought resistance may need to be evaluated in separate trials.

AbstractThe main aim of this study was to explore the potential role of wheat endophytic bacteria on wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) production and soil health management under pot and field trials. Seven plant growth‐promoting putative endophytes were isolated from different wheat plant parts (root, shoot, leaf, and seed). We selected two effective bacterial strains, Pseudomonas sp. BHUJPV‐WRO5 (from the “Pseudomonas koreensis” subgroup) originating from the root and Staphylococcus sp. BHUJPV‐WLE7 isolated from leaf, based on plant growth‐promoting traits like indole‐3‐acetic acid, ammonia, siderophore production, and phosphate solubilization. We conducted pot and field experiments with treatments T1 (uninoculated), T2 (Pseudomonas sp.), and T3 (Staphylococcus sp.). In pots, grain yield was higher with Pseudomonas sp. or S. xylosus than in the control. Similarly, grain yield in the field was increased with Pseudomonas sp. BHUJPV‐WRO5 or Staphylococcus sp. BHUJPV‐WLE7 compared with control. Pseudomonas sp. BHUJPV‐WRO5 also resulted in higher soil electrical conductivity (both pot and field), total organic carbon (in field), soil contents in available N, P, and K (in pot and field), and potential activity in soil of alkaline phosphatase (pot and field), dehydrogenase and β‐glucosidase (in pot). The effects of Staphylococcus sp. BHUJPV‐WLE7 were smaller, with however, higher soil levels for electrical conductivity (in pot), total organic carbon (in field), available P (in pot and field), and higher potential activity of alkaline phosphatase (in pot) than control. Overall, the putative wheat endophytes effectively enhanced plant growth, crop productivity, and soil quality, and Pseudomonas stain is promising as a bio‐inoculant for sustainable wheat production.

Published: April 2023

AbstractNon‐linear electrodynamics (NLED) is a generalization of Maxwell's electrodynamics for strong fields. It has significant implications for the study of black holes and cosmology and has been extensively studied in the literature, extending from quantum to cosmological contexts. In this work, two new ways to investigate these non‐linear theories are investigated. First, the Blandford‐Znajek mechanism is analyzed in light of this promising theoretical context, providing the general form of the extracted power up to second order in the black hole spin parameter a. It is found that, depending on the NLED model, the emitted power can be extremely increased or decreased, and that the magnetic field lines around the black hole seem to become vertical quickly. Considering only separated solutions, it is found that no monopole solutions exist and this could have interesting astrophysical consequences (not considered here). Last but not least, it is attempted to confine the NLED parameters by inducing the amplification of primordial magnetic fields (“seeds”), thus admitting non‐linear theories already during the early stages of the Universe. However, the latter approach proves to be useful for NLED research only in certain models. These (analytical) results emphasize that the behavior of non‐linear electromagnetic phenomena strongly depends on the physical context and that only a power‐law model seems to have any chance to compete with Maxwell.

AbstractCrystalline materials have governed the development of hybrid organic‐inorganic perovskites (HOIPs), giving rise to a variety of fascinating applications such as solar cells and optoelectronic devices. With increasing interest in non‐crystalline systems, the glassy state of HOIPs has recently been identified. Here, the basic building blocks of crystalline HOIPs appear to be retained, though their glasses lack long‐range periodic order. The emerging family of glasses formed from HOIPs exhibits diverse properties, complementary to their crystalline state. This mini review describes the chemical diversity of both three‐dimensional and two‐dimensional crystalline HOIPs and demonstrates how glasses are produced from these materials. Specifically, current achievements in melt‐quenched glasses formed from HOIPs are highlighted. We conclude with our perspective on the future of this new family of materials.
