AbstractZinc anode suffers from tough issues such as dendrite, corrosion, and hydrogen evolution, which lead to premature battery failure and thus restrict the practical application of aqueous zinc‐metal batteries (ZMABs). Herein, a polydentate‐ligand tactic is introduced to reconstruct solvation structure, improve corrosion resistance, and trigger selective dendrite‐free deposition via β‐Alanyl‐L‐histidine (AH). With abundant amino, amide, carboxyl, and imidazolyl groups, AH shows a chelation effect, which partially substitutes solvated SO42− and enters the Zn2+ solvation sheath to facilitate desolvation. Those groups also increase the strong H‐bond proportion of electrolyte, stabilizing water and suppressing corrosion and hydrogen evolution reactions. Moreover, with multisite coordination, the AH preferentially adsorbs on Zn(002) to induce a stable functional C, N, O, and S‐rich solid‐electrolyte interphase with zincophilic and hydrophobic properties. It homogenizes both the electric field and concentration field and guides preferential Zn growth along (002), realizing stable and dendrite‐free Zn anode. As a result, the obtained Zn anode with AH electrolyte exhibits a high CE of 99.28%, extended stability of over 6000 h, and a long lifespan of over 1000 cycles for Zn//MnO2 batteries. This work offers a novel design strategy of additive toward stabilization of Zn anodes for practical ZMABs.
First‐Principles Approach for Predicting Chiral Helimagnetism
Authors: Chen Yun , Yang Kesong 
Published: February 2025

AbstractChiral helimagnets have attracted significant attention due to their unique spin textures, dynamics, and potential in next‐generation spintronic technologies. However, calculating helimagnetic properties accurately remains a challenge owing to the complexity of the helical spin configurations and the long‐range periodicity. Here, a universal approach is reported for modeling and predicting helimagnetic spin structures by extracting the total energy as a function of the spin rotation angle between successive layers of helimagnets using first‐principles calculations. Applying this approach to Cr‐intercalated transition metal dichalcogenides, Cr1/3MX2 (where M = Nb, Ta; X = S, Se), their monoaxial magnetic helix parameters are successfully predicted, including helix wavevector, helix period, and critical magnetic field. This approach opens new avenues for the discovery of helimagnetic materials.

AbstractOptically addressable solid‐state spins are an important platform for practical quantum technologies. Van der Waals material hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) is a promising host as it contains a wide variety of optical emitters, but thus far observations of addressable spins have been sparse, and most of them lacked a demonstration of coherent spin control. Here, robust optical readout of spin pairs in hBN is demonstrated with emission wavelengths spanning from violet to the near‐infrared. It is found that these broadband spin pairs exist naturally in a variety of hBN samples from bulk crystals to powders to epitaxial films, and can be coherently controlled across the entire wavelength range. Furthermore, the optimal wavelengths are identified for independent readout of spin pairs and boron vacancy spin defects co‐existing in the same sample. These results establish the ubiquity of the optically addressable spin pair system in hBN across a broad parameter space, making it a versatile playground for spin‐based quantum technologies.

Published: February 2025

AbstractTribovoltaic nanogenerator (TVNG), which manifests distinct advantages of direct‐current output characteristics and remarkable energy utilization efficiency, is an emerging energy technology relying on the coupling of semiconductor and contact electrification. Dynamic semiconductor interface is the key to TVNGs, as its performance and functionality largely depend on the design and optimization of interface. Hence, with the booming development of TVNGs, it is of great significance to timely update the fundamental understanding of its interface design, which is currently lacking. In this review, the frontier advances on interface design for TVNGs are elaborately outlined for the first time. First, the underlying mechanisms of tribovoltaic effect at the interface are elaborated, as well as some governing equations and key interface design concepts. Subsequently, diverse strategies for advanced interface design are highlighted, including modulating interfacial charge dynamics, multi‐energy coupling, reducing interface wear loss, and extending flexible/wearable application. At last, some assumptions about the future direction and prospects of advanced interface design in efficient, multifunctional TVNGs are presented.

Published: February 2025

AbstractGold‐assisted exfoliation (GAE) is a groundbreaking mechanical exfoliation technique that produces centimeter‐scale single‐crystal monolayers of 2D materials. Such large, high‐quality films offer unparalleled advantages over the micron‐sized flakes typically produced by conventional exfoliation techniques, significantly accelerating the research and technological advancements in the field of 2D materials. Despite its wide applications, the fundamental mechanism of GAE remains poorly understood. In this study, using MoS₂ on Au as a model system, ultra‐low frequency Raman spectroscopy is employed to elucidate how the interlayer interactions within MoS2 crystals are impacted by the gold substrate. The results reveal that the coupling at the first MoS2‐MoS2 interface between the adhered layer on the gold substrate and the adjacent layer is substantially weakened, with the binding force being reduced to nearly zero. This renders the first interface the weakest point in the system, thereby the crystal preferentially cleaves at this junction, generating large‐area monolayers with sizes comparable to the parent crystal. Biaxial strain in the adhered layer, induced by the gold substrate, is identified as the driving factor for the decoupling effect. The strain‐induced decoupling effect is established as the primary mechanism of GAE, which can also play a significant role in general mechanical exfoliations.

AbstractThe advancement of photo‐assisted rechargeable sodium‐metal batteries with high energy efficiency, lightweight structure, and simplified design is crucial for the growing demand in portable electronics. However, addressing the intrinsic safety concerns of liquid electrolytes and the sluggish reaction kinetics in existing photoelectrochemical storage cathodes (PSCs) remains a significant challenge. In this work, functionalized light‐driven composite solid electrolyte (CSE) fillers are systematically screened, and optimized PSC materials are employed to construct advanced photo‐assisted solid‐state sodium‐metal battery (PSSMB). To further enhance the mechanical properties and poly(ethylene oxide) compatibility of the CSE, natural lignocellulose is incorporated, enabling the fabrication of flexible PSSMBs. In situ tests and density functional theory calculations reveal that the light‐driven electric field facilitated sodium salt dissociation, reduced interfacial resistance, and improved ionic conductivity (0.1 mS cm−1). Meanwhile, energy‐level matching of the PSC maximized the utilization of photogenerated carriers, accelerating reaction kinetics and enhancing interface compatibility between the electrolyte and cathode. The resulting flexible pouch‐type PSSMB demonstrates a remarkable discharge capacity of 117 mAh g−1 and outstanding long‐term cycling stability, retaining 89.1% of its capacity and achieving an energy storage efficiency of 96.8% after 300 cycles at 1 C. This study highlights a versatile strategy for advancing safe, high‐performance solid‐state batteries.

AbstractT‐cell ageing may be a key factor in the disproportionate severity of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) in older populations. For hospitalized COVID‐19 patients, treatment involving the use of monoclonal antibodies with the ability to neutralize SARS‐CoV‐2 usually involves the administration of high doses but has not been very effective at preventing complications or fatality, highlighting the need for additional research into anti‐SARS‐CoV‐2 therapies, particularly for older populations. In this study, it is discovered that older persons with a severe SARS‐CoV‐2 infection has weaker T‐cell responses. Therefore the development and characterization of spike‐targeting T‐cell‐dependent bispecific (TDB) full‐length human immunoglobulin Gs with enhanced efficacy in the treatment of COVID‐19 is described. Using S‐targeting TDBs, polyclonal T cells are guided to target and destroy S‐expressing cells, preventing the cell‐to‐cell transmission of SARS‐CoV‐2 and thereby eliminating the need for SARS‐CoV‐2‐specific immunity. Using animal models of COVID‐19, it is shown that the selective activation of T cells improves the efficiency of treatment in preinfected mice by attenuating disease‐induced weight loss and death. The significance of T‐cell‐based immunity during infection is highlighted by the findings. These results have implications for better clinical effectiveness of therapies for COVID‐19 and the development of T‐cell‐dependent medicines for the elderly population.

AbstractThe syngas chemical looping (SCL) process is an advanced thermochemical approach for hydrogen production with in situ carbon capture. This article proposes a novel Ni–Fe bimetallic oxide in a three‐reactor chemical looping system. In the moving bed reducer, a mixture of NiO and Fe3O4 is countercurrently reduced by syngas to Ni and Fe/FeO. In the oxidizer, the Fe/FeO mixture is oxidized back to Fe3O4 by steam, producing high‐purity H2, while Ni remains unchanged. In the combustor, Ni is oxidized to NiO by air to supply heat, while Fe3O4 is maintained without further oxidation to Fe2O3. The reducer's operating conditions are optimized using the operating line diagram method and the multistage equilibrium model. Process simulation results show that the Ni–Fe oxygen carrier can increase blue hydrogen production efficiency by more than 5% compared to the Fe‐based SCL process, while ensuring a carbon capture rate of over 99%.

AbstractBullying victimization and perpetration negatively affect African American students' physical and mental health. Among the many risk factors associated with bullying behaviors, associating with antisocial peers, and exposure to community violence may function as important contextual risk factors, particularly among African American youth residing in underserved urban communities. However, few studies have explored the degree to which family closeness may mitigate these risk factors and serve as a potential promotive mechanism. The current study applies an ecological systems model to assess the nature of associations among adolescents' family, community, and peer contexts with bullying victimization and perpetration while assessing for gender differences (moderation). Results based on a sample of African American adolescents (n = 637, mean age = 15.83, SD = 1.39; 45.6% boys) indicated that for both boys and girls, indirect effects suggested that bullying victimization partially explained the association of associating with antisocial peers and community violence exposure on bullying perpetration. For boys, a significant indirect effect was found from family closeness to bullying perpetration via community violence exposure, and for girls, a direct effect was found from family closeness to bullying perpetration. These latter findings supported the potential promotive functioning of family closeness. Additional implications are discussed.

Published: February 2025

The Baeyer‐Villiger and epoxidation reactions of dihydrocarvone with hydrogen peroxide over zeolite catalysts is investigated using the M06‐L density functional theory. The Baeyer‐Villiger reaction over 38T quantum clusters of Sn‐, Ti‐, Zr‐, and Hf‐beta zeolites is thought to proceed via a two‐step mechanism with apparent activation energies of 5.3, 18.1, ‐1.3, and ‐0.9 kcal/mol and energy spans of 33.6, 40.1, 31.1, and 34.8 kcal/mol, respectively. The calculated activation energies of competitive epoxidation reactions over Sn‐, Ti‐, Zr‐, and Hf‐beta zeolites are 11.2, 16.2, 16.4, and 15.0 kcal/mol, respectively. The Sn‐beta zeolite selectively afforded the lactone product owing to the formation of thermodynamically favored adsorption and product complexes and the lower apparent activation energy of the Baeyer‐Villiger reaction. Zr‐Beta and Hf‐Beta zeolites are thought to be selective catalysts toward Baeyer‐Villiger oxidation. Reactions without zeolites are also studied over m‐chloroperbenzoic acid. The epoxidation is favored over the Baeyer‐Villiger reaction owing to its lower activation energy (16.6 kcal/mol vs. 39.4 kcal/mol). The catalytic activity and chemoselectivity are studied using various Lewis acid zeolite catalysts.

AbstractINTRODUCTIONWe examined how abnormal prefrontal neurophysiology and changes in gamma‐aminobutyric acid‐ergic (GABAergic) neurotransmission contribute to behavioral impairments in disorders associated with frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD).METHODSWe recorded magnetoencephalography during an adaptive visuomotor task from 11 people with behavioral‐variant frontotemporal dementia, 11 with progressive supranuclear palsy, and 20 age‐matched controls. We used tiagabine, a gamma‐aminobutyric acid (GABA) re‐uptake inhibitor, as a pharmacological probe to assess the role of GABA during motor‐related beta power changes.RESULTSTask impairments were associated with diminished movement‐related beta power. Tiagabine facilitated partial recovery of behavioral impairments and neurophysiology, moderated by executive function, such that the greatest improvements were seen in those with higher cognitive scores. The right prefrontal cortex was revealed as a key site of drug interaction.DISCUSSIONBehavioral and neurophysiological deficits can be mitigated by enhancement of GABAergic neurotransmission. Clinical trials are warranted to test for enduring clinical benefits from this restorative‐psychopharmacology strategy.Highlights
Event‐related beta power changes during movement can be altered by the GABA reuptake inhibitor, tiagabine.
In people with behavioral‐variant frontotemporal dementia and progressive supranuclear palsy, tiagabine enhanced beta modulation and concurrently improved task performance, dependent on baseline cognition, and diagnosis.
The effects of the drug suggest a GABA‐dependent beta‐related mechanism that underlies adaptive motor control.
Restoring selective deficits in neurotransmission is a potential means to improve behavioral symptoms in patients with dementia.
Implementing a tridimensional diagnostic framework for personalized medicine in neurodegenerative diseases
Authors: Menendez‐Gonzalez Manuel 
Published: February 2025

AbstractNeurodegenerative diseases (NDDs) pose a significant challenge in modern medicine due to their clinical heterogeneity, multifactorial etiologies, and frequent co‐pathologies. Traditional diagnostic systems, based on clinical symptoms and post mortem findings, are limited in capturing the complex interactions among genetic, molecular, and neuroanatomical factors. This manuscript introduces a novel tridimensional diagnostic framework that integrates these factors across three key axes: etiology (genetic and environmental influences), molecular markers (primary and secondary biomarkers), and neuroanatomoclinical correlations. Through case studies, we demonstrate the framework's ability to synthesize incomplete datasets, stratify patients, and guide precision medicine. By incorporating omics technologies, neuroimaging, and AI‐driven probabilistic modeling, the framework enhances diagnostic accuracy and clinical relevance. This approach may contribute to overcoming the limitations of traditional nosologies, offering a scalable and adaptable tool for both clinical practice and research and advancing the field of precision medicine in NDD management.Highlights
Tridimensional diagnostic system: We propose a new framework that incorporates three axes – etiology, molecular markers, and neuroanatomical‐clinical correlations – to enhance diagnostic accuracy for NDDs.
Personalized medicine: The tridimensional system enables the integration of genetic, molecular, and clinical data, allowing for highly personalized treatment strategies tailored to individual patients.
Proteinopathies as key biomarkers: This diagnostic system emphasizes the use of primary proteinopathies (amyloid, tau, synuclein) and secondary biomarkers (eg, NfL, GFAP) to monitor disease progression and treatment efficacy.
Addressing clinical heterogeneity: The framework accommodates the complexity and heterogeneity of NDDs, offering an adaptable diagnostic approach for classical conditions like Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, frontotemporal dementia, and ALS.
Case studies and real‐world application: Practical case studies illustrate how this system can be implemented in clinical practice, enabling the combination of DMTs with symptomatic treatments.
Spatial Chern‐Simons Interactions and Complex Magnetic Penetration Depth
Authors: Tao Yong 
Published: February 2025

AbstractThis paper examines the Landau‐Ginzburg theory in the presence of spatial Chern‐Simons interactions, which typically emerge in Weyl semimetals due to domain‐wall motion. It is demonstrated that the incorporation of a purely spatial Chern‐Simons term, which violates parity, into the Landau‐Ginzburg free energy leads to a complex magnetic penetration depth. This characteristic indicates that, aside from possessing an effective penetration depth, the magnetic field on the surface of the superconductor experiences periodic spatial oscillations, which significantly deviates from the conventional Meissner effect. In particular, it is observed that as the degree of parity breaking, quantified by the strength of the spatial Chern‐Simons term, increases, a vortex solution with magnetic field inversion may emerge. With the discovery of superconductivity in certain Weyl semimetals, the possibility of experimentally observing this phenomenon in these materials is anticipated.

Published: February 2025

ABSTRACTPolypropylene (PP) are the most widely used dielectric materials for film capacitor due to the ultra‐low dielectric loss and high breakdown strength. However, PP films are not allowed to operate exceed 105°C due to the markedly increase in conduction loss at elevated temperature. This study proposes an efficient strategy to enhance the high‐temperature capacitive properties of PP films by regulating the casting temperatures during the melt‐extrusion‐casting process. The results show that the casting temperature has a deep influence on the surface morphology and crystal structures, which also affects the electrical performance especially the dielectric property at high temperature. The PP films prepared under an extrusion temperature of 210°C and the tape casting temperature of 140°C deliver the optimal energy storage property, a discharge energy density of 1.93 J cm−3 and an energy storage efficiency of 81% at 125°C, accompanying excellent cycle performance.

ABSTRACTPectolinarin is a flavonoid compound known for its wound‐healing properties, including anti‐inflammatory and antibacterial effects. In this study, we employed UPLC‐MS/MS to quantify pectolinarin in rat plasma and investigate its pharmacokinetics. Plasma samples were processed using an acetonitrile precipitation method. Chromatographic separation was performed on a UPLC BEH column with a gradient mobile phase of acetonitrile‐water (containing 0.1% formic acid). Detection was carried out using electrospray ionization (ESI) tandem mass spectrometry in multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode with positive ionization, targeting transitions of m/z 623.3 → 315.3 for pectolinarin and m/z 370.5 → 125.0 for the IS. The results demonstrated that pectolinarin exhibited acceptable linearity in rat plasma within the concentration range of 1.2 to 2300 ng/mL (r > 0.995). The intraday and interday precision, expressed as relative standard deviation (RSD), was below 9.2%. Accuracy ranged from 97.3% to 108.3%, with average recovery exceeding 94.7%. The matrix effect was between 97.8% and 105.3%. The method was successfully applied to evaluate the pharmacokinetics of pectolinarin in rats following both oral and intravenous administration. The absolute bioavailability of pectolinarin in rats was determined to be 0.28%.
