Authors: Woodland Sarah , Barclay Leah , Saunders Vicki , Beetson Bianca 
Published: June 2022

Listening to Country was an arts-led research project where, as an interdisciplinary team of practitioner-researchers, we worked with incarcerated Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women to produce a one-hour immersive audio work based on field recordings of natural environments. The project began with a pilot phase in Brisbane Women’s Correctional Centre (BWCC), Australia, to investigate the value of acoustic ecology in promoting wellbeing among women who were experiencing separation from family, culture, and Country (ancestral homelands). The team facilitated a three-week program with the women, using arts-led processes informed by visual art, performance, Indigenous storywork, and dadirri (deep, active listening). The soundscape presented here is a response to the creative process that we led inside the prison and the audio work that the incarcerated women co-created with the research team. The accompanying text describes the background to the original project, the process we undertook in the prison, and our methodology for translating knowledge from the research based on the acoustic and poetic resonances of our experience.

Published: June 2022

AbstractThe practical application of lithium (Li) metal batteries (LMBs) is significantly hindered by the uncontrolled Li dendrite growth and unstable solid electrolyte interphase layer, which leads to low Coulombic efficiency and short cycling lifetime. Constructing protective layers on Li metal surface is demonstrated as a facile and efficient approach to tackle these issues. With superior chemical/electrochemical stability, mechanical robustness, high current density tolerance, and low cost, porous polymers are considered promising candidates as the protective layers toward practical Li‐metal battery applications. In this review, the fundamental mechanisms in stabilizing Li‐metal electrodes, design principles, scalable processing, and recent progress of porous polymers toward practical batteries are thoroughly reviewed and discussed. The purpose of the current review is to analyze whether applying porous polymers as the protective layers is a more promising option of LMBs, and it also discusses how to practically achieve low cost, high‐energy‐density, safe, and long cycle life batteries.

AbstractCsPbI2Br perovskite is known for its advantages over its organic‐inorganic hybrid counterpart including better thermal stability and appropriate bandgap for the front sub‐cell of tandem solar cell. However, its lower‐than‐satisfactory efficiency, problematic phase stability and sensitivity to moisture hinder its further advancement. Here, three kinds of glycine halides (Gly‐X: X = Cl, Br, and I) are strategically deigned to improve the performance of CsPbI2Br perovskite solar cells (PSCs). Systematic experimental and calculated results prove that a 2D/3D hybrid structure is formed, wherein the Gly‐X‐based 2D perovskite is mainly located at the CsPbI2Br grain boundaries, and the A‐sites of the 2D perovskite form strong bonds with the 3D perovskite to suppress ion migration by increasing its activation energy. As a result, a power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 17.26% was obtained with an open‐circuit voltage (VOC) of 1.33 V, which is among the best PCE values for the CsPbI2Br PSCs. In addition, the efficiency of encapsulated device decrease only by 14.1% after 340 h continuous illumination in ambient conditions, representing one of the most‐stable inorganic PSCs reported so far. This work provides important insights into designing passivating agents to address the issue of phase segregation for the development of highly stable perovskite optoelectronic devices.

Published: June 2022

AbstractTransition metal layered double hydroxides (LDHs) are widely used as high‐performance cathode materials for aqueous alkaline zinc (Zn) batteries. Yet, the strongly alkaline electrolytes may lead to undesirable rechargeability of the alkaline devices and environmental issues. Herein, as a research prototype, CoNi LDH material is designed with abundant H vacancies using electrochemical methods (denoted as CoNi LDH(v)). As a Zn‐ion battery cathode, CoNi LDH(v) exhibits promising electrochemical performances in mild ZnSO4 electrolyte, such as a good specific capacity of 185 mAh g−1 at the current density of 1.2 A g−1, a high average discharge potential of 1.6 V versus Zn2+/Zn, and a large energy density of 296.2 Wh kg−1 at the power density of 1894 W kg−1, outperforming most of the cathode materials for aqueous Zn‐ion batteries. Experimental and computational results indicate that the introduced H vacancies in the double hydroxide matrix induce the improved electronic conductivity and cation adsorption thermodynamics, endowing the double hydroxides with good electrochemical activity for reversible cation insertion. Structural and spectroscopy studies identify that CoNi LDH(v) experiences reversible H+/Zn2+ co‐intercalation mechanism in an aqueous ZnSO4 electrolyte. As far as it is known, it is the first report on transition‐metal‐based double hydroxides used for mild aqueous Zn‐ion batteries.

Published: June 2022

AbstractMicrometer‐sized hydrogels are cross‐linked three‐dimensional network matrices with high‐water contents and dimensions ranging from several to hundreds of micrometers. Due to their excellent biocompatibility and capability to mimic physiological microenvironments in vivo, micrometer‐sized hydrogels have attracted much attention in the biomedical engineering field. Their biological properties and applications are primarily influenced by their chemical compositions and geometries. However, inhomogeneous morphologies and uncontrollable geometries limit traditional micrometer‐sized hydrogels obtained by bulk mixing. In contrast, microfluidic technology holds great potential for the fabrication of micrometer‐sized hydrogels since their geometries, sizes, structures, compositions, and physicochemical properties can be precisely manipulated on demand based on the excellent control over fluids. Therefore, micrometer‐sized hydrogels fabricated by microfluidic technology have been applied in the biomedical field, including drug encapsulation, cell encapsulation, and tissue engineering. This review introduces micrometer‐sized hydrogels with various geometries synthesized by different microfluidic devices, highlighting their advantages in various biomedical applications over those from traditional approaches. Overall, emerging microfluidic technologies enrich the geometries and morphologies of hydrogels and accelerate translation for industrial production and clinical applications.

AbstractTackling the huge volume expansion of silicon (Si) anode desires a stable solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) to prohibit the interfacial side reactions. Here, a layered conductive polyaniline (LCP) coating is built on Si nanoparticles to achieve high areal capacity and long lifespan. The conformal LCP coating stores electrolyte in interlamination spaces and directs an in situ formation of LCP‐integrated hybrid SEI skin with uniform distribution of organic and inorganic components, enhancing the flexibility of the SEI to buffer the volume changes and maintaining homogeneous ion transport during cycling. As a result, the Si anode shows a remarkable cycling stability under high areal capacity (≈3 mAh cm−2) after 150 cycles and good rate performance of 942 mAh g−1 at 5 A g−1. This work demonstrates the great potential of regulating the SEI properties by a layered polymer‐directing SEI formation for the mechanical and electrochemical stabilization of Si anodes.

Published: June 2022

AbstractReducing computational complexity is essential in future computing systems for processing a large amount of unstructured data simultaneously. Dot‐product operations using crossbar array devices have attracted considerable attention owing to their simple device structure, intuitive operation scheme, and high computational efficiency of parallel operation. The resistive switching device is considered a promising candidate as the main data storage in the crossbar array owing to its highly reliable performance. In this study, a tri‐layer TaOx/Al2O3/Ti:SiOx‐based resistive switching device is proposed. The proposed device exhibits a high electrical selectivity of 2.5 × 105 based on the optimized biasing scheme, a stable non‐volatility, and reliable read disturbance characteristic of up to 108. Additionally, the device achieves high reading current of 1 µA and a low off‐leakage current of 1 pA, which favors the reliable characteristics in the data writing sequence and the dot‐product operation in the crossbar array device. Furthermore, the resistive switching mechanism based on the material and electrical conduction characteristics is analyzed. Lastly, the dot‐product operation in an 8 × 8 crossbar array is performed. As a result, the calculated and measured signal values in each column in the crossbar array of the device are found to be in good agreement.

AbstractGenerally, the charge transfer character of thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) materials results in a long excitonic lifetime and broad‐band emission. With the combination of unity exciton utilization of TADF material and high radiative rate and narrow‐band emission of conventional fluorescence (CF) dopant, hyperfluorescence organic light‐emitting diodes (HF‐OLEDs) attract extensive attention in industry and academia recently. Till now, Dexter energy transfer (DET) from the triplet state of TADF assistant host to the dark triplet state of CF guest is the top‐drawer energy loss issue root in HF‐OLEDs. Herein, the energy loss of DET is blocked through one‐step substitution of TADF assistant host by electronically inert phenyl‐fluorene terminal for the first time. The blocking effect on DET process in HF‐OLEDs is investigated by means of photophysical characterization, theoretical calculation, device fabrication, and Monte Carlo simulation. The maximum external quantum efficiency of 18.1% with Commission Internationale de L'Eclairage coordinates of (0.61, 0.38) is achieved, which is on par with the state‐of‐the‐art efficiency for red HF‐OLEDs. This work presents a feasible design strategy for TADF assistant host aimed at achieving highly efficient HF‐OLEDs with narrow‐band emission.

AbstractSolution processing of perovskite solar cells (PSCs) is highly promising for the high‐throughput production of cost‐effective devices. Although PSCs have achieved great advances in power conversion efficiency, challenges still remain in the reproducibility of high‐quality perovskite thin film with simultaneously improved precursor solution stability. Here, a reactive inhibition strategy by introducing diethyl (hydroxymethyl) phosphonate (DHP) in perovskite precursor solution is successfully employed to improve the stability of precursor solution and the performance of corresponding device. DHP inhibits the reactivity of the iodide and formamidinium ions through multiple chemical bonds, ensuring the stability of the precursor solution. In addition, due to chelation interaction of Pb2+ with the oxygen of PO in DHP, the DHP in the perovskite film improves the film quality with desired stoichiometry by reducing the defects and the content of lead iodide. The DHP‐doped precursor solution and corresponding devices show excellent performance reproducibility and super stability under ambient conditions for more than 50 days, which illustrates the commercial feasibility for scalable fabrication.

Published: June 2022

AbstractPremiseChaetopeltidales is a poorly characterized order in the Chlorophyceae, with only two plastid and no mitochondrial genomes published. Here we describe a new taxon in Chaetopeltidales, Gormaniella terricola gen. et sp. nov. and characterize both of its organellar genomes.MethodsGormaniella terricola was inadvertently isolated from a surface‐sterilized hornwort thallus. Light microscopy was used to characterize its vegetative morphology. Organellar genomes were assembled, annotated, and analyzed using a variety of software packages.ResultsThe mitochondrial genome (66,927 bp) represents the first complete mitochondrial genome published for Chaetopeltidales. The chloroplast genome, measuring 428,981 bp, is one of the largest plastid genomes published to date and shares this large size and an incredible number of short, dispersed repeats with the other sequenced chloroplast genomes in Chaetopeltidales. Despite these shared features, the chloroplast genomes of Chaetopeltidales appear to be highly rearranged when compared to one another, with numerous inversions, translocations, and duplications, suggesting a particularly dynamic chloroplast genome. Both the chloroplast and mitochondrial genomes of G. terricola contain a number of mobile group I and group II introns, which appear to have invaded separately. Three of the introns within the mitochondrial genome encode homing endonucleases that are phylogenetically nested within those found in fungi, rather than algae, suggesting a possible case of horizontal gene transfer.ConclusionsThese results help to shed light on a poorly understood group of algae and their unusual organellar genomes, raising additional questions about the unique patterns of genome evolution within Chaetopeltidales.

AbstractDiagnosis of rare, genetic diseases is challenging, but conceptual frameworks of the diagnostic process can guide quality improvement initiatives. Using the National Academy of Medicine diagnostic framework, we assessed the extent of, and reasons for diagnostic delays and diagnostic errors in schwannomatosis, a neurogenetic syndrome characterized by nerve sheath tumors and chronic pain. We reviewed the medical records of 97 people with confirmed or probable schwannomatosis seen in two US tertiary care clinics. Time‐to‐event analysis revealed a median time from first symptom to diagnosis of 16.7 years (95% CI, 7.5–26.0 years) and median time from first medical consultation to diagnosis of 9.8 years (95% CI, 3.5–16.2 years). Factors associated with longer times to diagnosis included initial signs/symptoms that were intermittent, non‐specific, or occurred at younger ages (p < 0.05). Thirty‐six percent of patients were misdiagnosed; misdiagnoses were of underlying genetic condition (18.6%), pain etiology (16.5%), and nerve sheath tumor presence/pathology (11.3%) (non‐mutually exclusive categories). One‐fifth (19.6%) of patients had a clear missed opportunity for genetics workup that could have led to an earlier schwannomatosis diagnosis. These results suggest that interventions in clinician education, genetic testing availability, expert review of pathology findings, and automatic triggers for genetics referrals may improve diagnosis of schwannomatosis.

AbstractYnamides are recognized as electron‐rich π‐components and show high reactivity toward electrophiles such as iodonium salts. Here we report the iodocyclization of ene‐ynamides and arene‐ynamides leading to naphthalenes and phenanthrenes. We found these reactions were completed within 3 seconds by using I(coll)2PF6 as an iodonium reagent, and cyclized products were obtained in good to high yields. To the best of our knowledge, this method is the most rapid synthesis known to date of polycyclic aromatic compounds.

Published: June 2022

AbstractThe goal of the current research is to simultaneously improve the fouling resistance and mechanical properties of polyacrylonitrile ultrafiltration membrane for membrane bioreactors (MBR) applications by a relatively easy method. For this purpose, amino‐functionalized carbon nanotubes (NH2‐MWCNTs) were employed, which have exceptional mechanical properties, hydrophilic functions, and good interaction with polyacrylonitrile. It was used to fabricate nanocomposite membranes with different MWCNTs contents. The rheological and thermodynamical aspects of the phase separation process were investigated to understand the mechanism of the membrane formation. The related characteristics including morphological, mechanical, and chemical properties of the membrane as well as its performance were studied. In the end, the synthesized membranes were used in an MBR setup for further investigations. The Pure water flux data shows considerable improvement from 810 LMH for the neat membrane to 1055 LMH for the 0.3 wt% NH2‐MWCNTs nanocomposite membrane. Mechanical enhancement was confirmed with about a 24% increase in the tensile strength and 61% for elongation at break. The membrane with 0.3 wt% NH2‐MWCNTs revealed the best porosity, fouling resistance, and performance in MBR with 95% flux recovery ratio and 64% improvement in permeated flux compared to the neat membrane.
Klimaschutz im Verkehrswegebau – Ausbau der Infrastruktur in Deutschland
Authors: Leucker Roland 
Published: June 2022

AbstractDer CO2‐Ausstoß ist zum entscheidenden Maßstab geworden. Die neue Bundesregierung betont, dass Zukunftsinvestitionen sich daran messen lassen müssen, wie klima‐ und umweltfreundlich sie sind. Das betrifft alle Bereiche von Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft – gerade auch den Verkehrssektor. Bund und Länder sind sich hier einig, dass es neben einer reinen Antriebswende – hin zur Elektromobilität auf Schiene und Straße – vor allem auch einen Mobilitätswandel braucht, mit einem deutlich stärkeren Bahnsystem gerade dort, wo der ÖPNV bislang noch nicht ausreichend stark war. Für einen effizienten ÖPNV braucht es mancherorts auch neue U‐Bahn‐, Stadt‐ und Straßenbahnlinien, ergänzende Gleise, längere Bahnsteige etc. – und damit auch neue Schienenbauwerke, wie Brücken, Tunnel etc. Grundsatz muss hierbei sein, dass Verkehrsbauten zwar einerseits so effizient und emissionsfrei wie möglich hergestellt, aber andererseits auch nicht durch ausufernde Kosten verhindert werden. Eine nahezu emissionsfreie Bauweise ist dabei eher langfristig zu erwarten. Entscheidend ist, dass jedes Jahr relevante Mengen an CO2 eingespart werden.

AbstractThe radix of Angelica sinensis (Oliv.) Diels (RAS) is widely used in medicinal and dietary applications in China, and has the function for replenishing and invigorating the blood, stopping pain and moistening the intestines. In this study, RAS from the main geoherb regions showed better efficacy in inhibiting Adenosine diphosphate‐ or arachidonic acid‐induced platelet aggregation than those from non‐geoherb regions. In addition, the HPLC fingerprints of 30 batches of RAS, as part of the comprehensive evaluation of RAS, were established and used for spectral efficiency to screen the quality markers for anti‐platelet aggregation activities. Five compounds in RAS—senkyunolide I, uridine, guanine, ferulic acid and adenosine—were demonstrated to contribute significantly to the anti‐platelet aggregation activity. These bioactive compounds, especially senkyunolide I and ferulic acid with stronger activities, could be used as quality markers of RAS for quality control of RAS.
