Published: March 2022

AbstractZn metal has shown promise as an anode material for grid‐level energy storage, yet is challenged by dendritic growth and low Coulombic efficiency. Herein, an ultrafast, stable, and high‐loading polymer anode for aqueous Zn‐ion batteries and capacitors (ZIBs and ZICs) is developed by engineering both the electrode and electrolyte. The anode polymer is rationally prepared to have a suitable electronic structure and a large π‐conjugated structure, whereas the electrolyte is manufactured based on the superiority of triflate anions over sulfate anions, as analyzed and confirmed via experiments and simulations. This dual engineering results in an optimal polymer anode with a low discharge potential, near‐theoretical capacity, ultrahigh‐loading capability (≈50 mg cm−2), ultrafast rate (100 A g−1), and ultralong lifespan (one million cycles). Its mechanism involves reversible Zn2+/proton co‐storage at the carbonyl site. When the polymer anode is coupled with cathodes for both ZIB and ZIC applications, the devices demonstrate ultrahigh power densities and ultralong lifespans, far surpassing those of corresponding Zn‐metal‐based devices.

AbstractAs a class of porous materials with crystal lattices, metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), featuring outstanding specific surface area, tunable functionality, and versatile structures, have attracted huge attention in the past two decades. Since the first conductive MOF is successfully synthesized in 2009, considerable progress has been achieved for the development of conductive MOFs, allowing their use in diverse applications for electrochemical energy storage. Among those applications, supercapacitors have received great interest because of their high power density, fast charging ability, and excellent cycling stability. Here, the efforts hitherto devoted to the synthesis and design of conductive MOFs and their auspicious capacitive performance are summarized. Using conductive MOFs as a unique platform medium, the electronic and molecular aspects of the energy storage mechanism in supercapacitors with MOF electrodes are discussed, highlighting the advantages and limitations to inspire new ideas for the development of conductive MOFs for supercapacitors.

AbstractMonolayer hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) has been widely considered a fundamental building block for 2D heterostructures and devices. However, the controlled and scalable synthesis of hBN and its 2D heterostructures has remained a daunting challenge. Here, an hBN/graphene (hBN/G) interface‐mediated growth process for the controlled synthesis of high‐quality monolayer hBN is proposed and further demonstrated. It is discovered that the in‐plane hBN/G interface can be precisely controlled, enabling the scalable epitaxy of unidirectional monolayer hBN on graphene, which exhibits a uniform moiré superlattice consistent with single‐domain hBN, aligned to the underlying graphene lattice. Furthermore, it is identified that the deep‐ultraviolet emission at 6.12 eV stems from the 1s‐exciton state of monolayer hBN with a giant renormalized direct bandgap on graphene. This work provides a viable path for the controlled synthesis of ultraclean, wafer‐scale, atomically ordered 2D quantum materials, as well as the fabrication of 2D quantum electronic and optoelectronic devices.

AbstractThe synthesis of transition metal oxides is typically time‐ and energy‐consuming. Recently, fast sintering methods have demonstrated great potential in reducing ceramic sintering time and energy use, improving the commercial prospects of these materials. In this article, a quenched ultrafast high‐temperature sintering (qUHS) technique is developed to sinter metastable brownmillerite SrCoO2.5 (SCO) in less than a minute. Surprisingly, SCO fabricated by qUHS shows higher activity for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) than solid‐state‐reaction‐synthesized SCO. Comparing samples produced by these two techniques, the increased OER performance of SCO qUHS is likely due to the synergistic combination of surface Co chemical state, higher mesoporosity, and enhanced hydroxyl ion (OH–) adsorption. This work demonstrates the potential of qUHS for producing high‐performance electrocatalysts and provides detailed insights into the impact of ultrafast sintering on the materials’ physical properties and electrocatalytic activity.

AbstractImproving radiative heating performance of textiles is becoming one of the most current research topics to reduce the energy consumption used to control the indoor areas temperature. In this work, the properties of a textile‐based asymmetric design for radiative heating are studied both theoretically and experimentally, and its remarkable efficiency over a wide range of temperature is demonstrated. By sandwiching a thin metallic layer characterized by a high reflectivity in the mid‐infrared (MIR) between two polyethylene (PE) membranes of same thickness, it is proposed to control the MIR emissivity of the structure by the introduction of SiO2 nanoparticles (NPs) in one of the two PE membranes. By reversing the fabric side to side, a wide comfort zone can be achieved for medium and low ambient temperatures, typically between 7.1 and 16.3 °C. Moreover, it is shown that, when transferred on a regular textile, the fabric performs the same functionalities. The experimental demonstration is done by considering an equivalent asymmetric structure with thicker membranes, without NPs. The fabrication and characterization processes are reported and a good agreement is obtained between the Fourier transform infrared spectra and the numerical data.
Optimal Design of Surface Relief Grating for High‐Resolution Two‐Photon Interference Lithography
Authors: Ahn Jinseong , Park Junyong 
Published: March 2022

AbstractTwo‐photon interference lithography with an elastomeric phase grating that allows spontaneous conformal contact to the photoresist can be used to fabricate practical‐scale, 3D photonic crystals through a single exposure. In principle, the unit cell symmetry and fill factor of the 3D periodic nanostructures produced using this technique are strongly depend on the structural parameters of the phase grating. However, theoretical approaches to derive the optimal parameters of the phase grating for realizing high‐definition 3D nanostructures are still lacking. Here, the change in the Talbot interference pattern is systematically predicted with the relief height of the phase grating under the conditions in which two‐photon interference lithography is performed through optical simulations. The collective set of results reveals the design error of the relief height of the phase grating, as inferred by the scalar approximation thus far, and presents the optimal condition that satisfies the π‐phase shift inferred by the full‐vectorial numerical solution.
Resonant Electron Tunneling Induces Isomerization of π‐Expanded Oligothiophene Macrocycles in a 2D Crystal

Published: March 2022

AbstractMacrocyclic oligothiophenes and their π‐expanded derivatives constitute versatile building blocks for the design of (supra)molecularly engineered active interfaces, owing to their structural, chemical, and optoelectronic properties. Here, it is demonstrated how resonant tunneling effect induces single molecular isomerization in a 2D crystal, self‐assembled at solid–liquid interfaces under ambient conditions. Monolayers of a series of four π‐expanded oligothiophene macrocycles are investigated by means of scanning tunneling microscopy and scanning tunneling spectroscopy (STS) at the interface between their octanoic acid solutions and the basal plane of highly oriented pyrolytic graphite. Current–voltage characteristics confirm the donor‐type character of the macrocycles, with the highest occupied molecular orbital and the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) positions consistent with time‐dependent density functional theory calculations. Cyclic STS measurements show the redox isomerization from Z,Z‐8T6A to its isomer E,E‐8T6A occurring in the 2D crystal, due to the formation of a negatively charged species when the tunneling current is in resonance with the LUMO of the macrocycle.

AbstractObjectivesPoint‐of‐care ultrasound (POCUS) is widely used in the emergency department (ED). Not all practicing emergency physicians received POCUS training during residency, leaving a training gap that is reflected in POCUS privileging. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the success of meeting privileging criteria as well as associated factors, following implementation of a basic POCUS training and privileging program within a large emergency medicine department.MethodsWe implemented a POCUS training and privileging program, based on national guidelines, for faculty physicians who worked at one of the following EDs staffed by the same emergency medicine department: a pediatric tertiary site, two tertiary academic sites, and seven community sites. POCUS examinations included aorta, cardiac, first‐trimester obstetrics (OB), and extended focused assessment with sonography in trauma. Pediatric emergency medicine faculty were taught soft tissue and thoracic US instead of aorta and OB. Completion of the program required 16 h of didactics, ≥25 quality‐assured US examinations by examination type, and passing a series of knowledge‐based examinations. Descriptive statistics were calculated. Associations between physician characteristics and successfully becoming privileged in POCUS were modeled using Firth's logistic regression.ResultsA total of 176 faculty physicians were eligible. A total of 145 (82.4%) achieved basic POCUS privileging during the study period. Different pathways were used including 86 (48.9%) practice‐based, nine (5.1%) fellowship‐based, and 82 (46.9%) residency‐based. POCUS privileging was lower for those working in a community versus academic setting (odds ratio 0.3, 95% confidence interval 0.1–0.9). A greater number of scans completed prior to the privileging program was associated with greater success.ConclusionsImplementation of a POCUS training and privileging program can be successful in a large emergency medicine department that staffs hospitals in a large‐scale health care system composed of both academic and community sites. Faculty physicians with at least some prior exposure to POCUS were more successful.

AbstractCarioca common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is the most produced and consumed in Brazil. The production of carioca bean is affected by fungal diseases such as anthracnose, caused by the fungus Colletotrichum lindemuthianum. Most sources resistant to anthracnose, used in crosses by breeding programs are not derived from the commercial group or are poorly productive and less adapted. Thus, the objective of this study was to characterize 40 carioca bean cultivars already recommended in Brazil for their reaction to C. lindemuthianum races 65, 73, 81, and 89. The cultivars and the resistant control, BRS Esplendor, were inoculated in a greenhouse with two different experiments for each race. Seedlings with fully expanded primary leaves were inoculated with a suspension of each pathogen race and assessed after 12 d. Among the 40 cultivars assessed, 12.5, 2.5, 12.5, and 15% resistant to one, two, three, and four races of C. lindemuthianum, respectively. The cultivars IAC Formoso, IAC‐Carioca Pyatã, IAC‐Apuã, VC 15, BRS Notável, and IPR Campos Gerais were resistant to the four races, constituting parental sources of resistance to the pathogen. In regions that favor the occurrence of anthracnose in common bean, cultivars with certain levels of resistance should be selected. Therefore, the important information obtained will be made available to growers and those offering technical assistance to growers.

AbstractTyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) discontinuation in patients with Philadelphia‐chromosome‐positive chronic myeloid leukemia (Ph‐positive CML) is increasingly considered. We aim to evaluate the outcome of patients with CML who discontinued TKIs, and determine the factors associated with differences in the success rates of treatment‐free remission (TFR). Patients with Ph‐positive CML treated between October 1999 and February 2017 who discontinued therapy were analyzed. A major molecular response (MMR) was defined as BCR‐ABL1/ABL1 ratio on the International Scale ≤0.1%. TFR failure was defined as the loss of MMR on any single test. We analyzed TFR rates according to duration and depth of response, and conducted a multivariate analysis for factors associated with loss of MMR. Two‐hundred and eighty‐four patients were analyzed; 199 patients (70%) electively discontinued TKIs. At a median follow‐up of 36 months (95% confidence interval, 32–40) after TKI discontinuation, 53 patients (19%) lost MMR. The estimated 5‐year TFR rate was 79%. All but one patient regained MMR after resuming therapy. The estimated 5‐year TFR rates were higher with MR4 and MR4.5 ≥5 years, compared with MR4 <5 years (87% vs. 92% vs. 64%; p < .0001). By multivariate analysis, only the duration of MR4 or MR4.5 ≥5 years before stopping treatment was associated with a lower risk of loss of MMR. In summary, TFR is safe and feasible in patients with Ph‐positive CML on TKI therapy. Achieving MR4 or MR4.5 for at least 5 years is correlated with a better outcome.
A New Cation‐Ordered Structure Type with Multiple Thermal Redistributions in Co2InSbO6

Published: March 2022

AbstractCation ordering in solids is important for controlling physical properties and leads to ilmenite (FeTiO3) and LiNbO3 type derivatives of the corundum structure, with ferroelectricity resulting from breaking of inversion symmetry in the latter. However, a hypothetical third ABO3 derivative with R32 symmetry has never been observed. Here we show that Co2InSbO6 recovered from high pressure has a new, ordered‐R32 A2BCO6 variant of the corundum structure. Co2InSbO6 is also remarkable for showing two cation redistributions, to (Co0.5In0.5)2CoSbO6 and then Co2InSbO6 variants of the ordered‐LiNbO3 A2BCO6 structure on heating. The cation distributions change magnetic properties as the final ordered‐LiNbO3 product has a sharp ferrimagnetic transition unlike the initial ordered‐R32 phase. Future syntheses of metastable corundum derivatives at pressure are likely to reveal other cation‐redistribution pathways, and may enable ABO3 materials with the R32 structure to be discovered.

Published: March 2022

AbstractThe sensitive detection of bacterial infections is a prerequisite for their successful treatment. The use of a chemiluminescent readout was so far hampered by an insufficient probe enrichment at the pathogens. We coupled siderophore moieties, that harness the unique iron transport system of bacteria, with enzyme‐activatable dioxetanes and obtained seven trifunctional probes with high signal‐to‐background ratios (S/B=426‐859). Conjugates with efficient iron transport capability into bacteria were identified through a growth recovery assay. All ESKAPE pathogens were labelled brightly by desferrioxamine conjugates, while catechols were weaker due to self‐quenching. Bacteria could also be detected inside lung epithelial cells. The best probe 8 detected 9.1×103 CFU mL−1 of S. aureus and 5.0×104 CFU mL−1 of P. aeruginosa, while the analogous fluorescent probe 10 was 205–305fold less sensitive. This qualifies siderophore dioxetane probes for the selective and sensitive detection of bacteria.

Published: March 2022

AbstractPoor oxygen diffusion at multiphase interfaces in an air cathode suppresses the energy densities of zinc–air batteries (ZABs). Developing effective strategies to tackle the issue is of great significance for overcoming the performance bottleneck. Herein, inspired by the bionics of diving flies, a polytetrafluoroethylene layer was coated on the surfaces of Co3O4 nanosheets (NSs) grown on carbon cloth (CC) to create a hydrophobic surface to enable the formation of more three‐phase reaction interfaces and promoted oxygen diffusion, rendering the hydrophobic‐Co3O4 NSs/CC electrode a higher limiting current density (214 mA cm−2 at 0.3 V) than that (10 mA cm−2) of untreated‐Co3O4 NSs/CC electrode. Consequently, the assembled ZAB employing hydrophobic‐Co3O4 NSs/CC cathode acquired a higher power density (171 mW cm−2) than that (102 mW cm−2) utilizing untreated‐Co3O4 NSs/CC cathode, proving the enhanced interfacial reaction kinetics on air cathode benefiting from the hydrophobization engineering.

AbstractBackgroundWe conducted a meta‐analysis of observational epidemiological studies to evaluate the association between periconceptional use of vitamin A and the risk of giving birth to a child with nonsyndromic orofacial clefts (NSOFCs).MethodsWe carried out a systematic literature search of Embase, PubMed, Web of Science, Google Scholar, and OpenGrey from inception to June 30, 2021. Two reviewers independently evaluated the studies that met the inclusion criteria and filled out an abstraction form for each study. Study quality was assessed using the Newcastle‐Ottawa Assessment Scale (NOS). Adjusted estimates were pooled with an inverse variance weighting using a random‐effects model. Heterogeneity and publication bias were assessed using the Cochran's Q test and funnel plot, respectively.ResultsA total of six case–control studies with moderate risk of bias were included. The pooled OR showed a 20% reduction in the risk of NSOFCs for periconceptional use of vitamin A which was not statistically significant (OR = .80; 95% CI .54–1.17, p = .25). For nonsyndromic cleft lip with or without cleft palate (NSCL/P), the studies were homogenous, and the pooled estimate showed a 13% risk reduction, which was significant (OR = .87; 95% CI .77–.99, p = .03). For nonsyndromic cleft palate only (NSCPO), the pooled estimate showed a 33% lower likelihood, which was not statistically significant (OR = .67; 95% CI .42–1.08, p = .10).ConclusionOur results suggest a possible protective effect for the periconceptional use of vitamin A on the risk of NSCL/P. This finding should be investigated further in prospective studies across multiple populations.

AbstractKawasaki disease (KD) is an acute self‐limiting vasculitis with coronary complications, usually occurring in children. The incidence of KD in children is increasing year by year, mainly in East Asian countries, but relatively stably in Europe and America. Although studies on KD have been reported, the pathogenesis of KD is unknown. With the development of high‐throughput sequencing technology, growing number of regulatory noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs) including microRNA (miRNA), long noncoding RNA (lncRNA), and circular RNA (circRNA) have been identified to involved in KD. However, the role of ncRNAs in KD has not been comprehensively elucidated. Therefore, it is significative to study the regulatory role of ncRNA in KD, which might help to uncover new and effective therapeutic strategies for KD. In this review, we summarize recent studies on ncRNA in KD from the perspectives of immune disorders, inflammatory disorders, and endothelial dysfunction, and highlight the potential of ncRNAs as therapeutic targets for KD.
