All-solid-state lithium metal batteries (LMBs) have attracted extensive attention because of their high energy density and good safety performance. But the ionic conductivity at low temperature and dendritic growth hinder their further development. In this work, a flexible all solid-state electrolyte consisted with Ce(NO 3 ) 3 , lithium bis(fluorosulfonyl) imide (LiFSI), and poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) is synthesized. Ce(NO 3 ) 3 as an effective additive can enhance the ionic conductivity of solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) by regulating Li + transporting and stabilizing the interface between lithium metal anode and electrolyte by forming a stable and uniform solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) on lithium metal anode surface. The as-prepared electrolyte exhibits a good ionic conductivity of 1.6 × 10 −4 S cm −1 at 60 °C and a wide electrochemical window of 4.4 V . The Li//Li symmetric cell with PEO + LiFSI+1%Ce(NO 3 ) 3 electrolyte displays a long cycling lifespan of over 1100 h at 0.1 mA cm −2 at 60 °C. Moreover, the corresponded LiFePO 4 (LFP)//Li cell exhibits a long cycling lifespan of 300 cycles and excellent rate capability. This work proposes an effective additive to improve ionic conductivity and stabilize the Li metal/electrolyte interface.

A solid electrolyte of LAGP [Li 1.5 Al 0.5 Ge 1.5 (PO 4 ) 3 ] contained 0.5 wt% LiF was prepared by using low-volatile raw materials. The effects of different heat treatment conditions (750–900 °C, 4–10 h) and additive (LiF) on the ionic conductivity, structural morphology, and crystal transformation process were investigated in detail. EIS (electrochemical impedance spectroscopies) showed that the ionic conductivity of LAGP contained 0.5 wt% LiF had a highest value of 3.17 × 10 −4 S cm −1 with low activation energy (0.31 eV) after treating 825 °C for 6 h, more than LAGP of 2.45 × 10 −4 S cm −1 . DSC analysis and SEM images indicated that adding a small amount of LiF to LAGP not only can lower the glass transition temperature (from 513 °C to 507 °C) and crystallization temperature (from 622 °C to 605 °C), but also can modify the grain boundary and increase the relative density of LAGP (from 95.8% to 97.7%).

Antarctic krill oil ( AKO ), rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids ( PUFAs ) such as EPA and DHA , is limited in food applications due to its physicochemical instability. We develop a 3D -printed carrier system incorporating small-clustered water ( SCW ) prepared layer-by-layer ( LBL) emulsion with potato starch and potato protein to enhance the stability of PUFAs in AKO . The SCW-LBL emulsion formed a compact structure with a smaller median particle size ( d 0.5 = 0.130 μm) than regular water ( RW )-based emulsions. 3D -printed SCW -emulsion carriers exhibited lower loss modules and lower viscosity in oscillatory frequency-sweep tests, which are likely associated with SCW -induced restructuring of hydrogen bonds and charge interactions, suggesting the formation of a more compact network. Printing tests confirmed that SCW -emulsion carriers improved stability and fidelity by reducing gravity-driven sedimentation. Thermal stability analysis showed SCW -emulsion carriers slowed PUFAs degradation, with higher activation energy ( E a ) and thermal resistance. Under light exposure, 3D -printed SCW -emulsion carriers displayed reduced photodegradation rates, increased photodegradation activation energy ( E p ), and enhanced the stability of AKO . Moreover, the total antioxidant capacity ( T-AOC ) of SCW -emulsion carriers increased by 7.3-8.2% compared to RW -emulsions after 8 h. This suggests that SCW may facilitate the reduction of emulsion droplet size, potentially through promoting tighter hydration and a more compact starch-protein matrix, which contributes to improved oxidation stability. Therefore, the 3D -printed SCW - LBL emulsion carrier system can be utilized by food and nutraceutical manufacturers to produce PUFA -enriched products with enhanced thermal, photochemical, and oxidative stability, as well as superior structural fidelity.

Sodium-ion batteries hold promise for grid-scale energy storage thanks to abundant resources and superior safety, but their wide-temperature operation is hindered by sluggish electronic–ionic transport and structural instability of cathode materials. Herein, a cation-intermixing strategy driven by stoichiometric regulation is proposed for Na2+2xFe2–x(SO4)3 cathodes, which can simultaneously enhance structural stability, improve charge transfer, and facilitate Na+ transport kinetics. Specifically, derived Fe vacancies and concomitant Na+ insertion reconstruct the electronic environment, strengthening Fe–O bonds to stabilize the crystal framework while optimizing Fe 3d electron energy level distribution to facilitate charge transfer. This alteration concurrently widens Na+ migration channels and reduces diffusion barriers, enabling rapid ion transport. Consequently, the Na2.48Fe1.76(SO4)3 cathode (x = 0.24 in Na2+2xFe2–x(SO4)3, with a Na/Fe molar ratio of 1.4) with optimal cation intermixing exhibits exceptional wide-temperature performance. It delivers 85.9% capacity retention following 3000 cycles at 30 C (25 °C) and 88.3% following 4000 cycles at 1 C (−20 °C). Even at an ultrahigh 100 C (60 °C), it still retains 83.2% relative to its capacity measured at 25 °C and 0.1 C. This work provides a stoichiometry-driven approach to designing superior-performance sulfate-based cathodes for wide-temperature sodium-ion batteries.

The severe instability with lithium (Li) anode of NASICON-structure Li 1.5 Al 0.5 Ge 1.5 (PO 4 ) 3 (LAGP) solid-state electrolyte (SSE) greatly hinders its practical applications in the all-solid-state lithium batteries (ASSLBs) with high energy density and safety. In order to alleviate this issue, here we employed an artificial protective layer of LAGP glass on the surface of ceramic LAGP sheet to construct a surface amorphized electrolyte via a spin-coating co-sintering method. AC impedance test and galvanostatic charge-discharge cycling of Li/electrolytes/Li symmetrical cell suggest that enabled by this glass layer, the surface amorphized LAGP can exhibit better compatibility with Li anode. In addition, with a poly(ethylene oxide) polymer electrolyte in the cathode side , at 0.1 C under 60 °C, the LiFePO 4 /Li ASSLB using surface amorphized LAGP can keep stable for 120 cycles with a retention of 93.6%, which is more than 13 times of the cell using ceramic LAGP (6.9%). The formation mechanisms of unstable interphases in LAGP/Li interface were briefly summarized, and probable reasons behind the good compatibility between and LAGP glass and Li were discussed.

The reported high efficiency antimony chalcogenides devices are chronically adopted with organic hole transport layers (HTLs, i.e., Spiro-OMeTAD) because of their superior hole mobility and adequate energetic alignment. However, the high moisture sensitivity and high cost of organic HTLs will hinder their large scale application. Herein, a low-cost and stable carbon electrode is used as the back contact material for wide bandgap Sb2(S,Se)3 solar cells, and an eco-friendly MoS2 nanofilm with a suitable band structure and excellent carrier mobility is then employed to regulate the interface of Sb2(S,Se)3/carbon in terms of energy level alignment and carrier transportation. The thermal evaporated MoS2 effectively alleviates the serious recombination and remarkably improves the photoelectric conversion efficiency of wide bandgap Sb2(S,Se)3 thin-film solar cells by 50%, finally achieving an impressive efficiency of 6.1% with VOC of 0.76 V, JSC of 13.5 mA/cm2, and FF of 59%, which is among the highest efficiencies of carbon-based Sb2(S,Se)3 solar cells.

Prostate Cancer Antigen 3, a type of long non-coding RNA, exhibits outstanding specificity as a biomarker for the diagnosis of prostate cancer, offering a highly effective diagnostic indicator, whereas the currently used prostate specific antigen exhibits low specificity, leading to reduced accuracy in prostate cancer diagnosis. Herein, we designed a novel fluorescent sensing platform for targeted detection of PCA3, which integrates the non-specific trans-cleavage activity of the CRISPR/Cas12a with the remarkable fluorescence quenching effect of Gold Nanorods. The Cas12a recognizes and binds to specific sequences of PCA3, thereby activating nonspecific cleavage activity, which cleaves fluorescent reporter probes adsorbed on AuNRs, thus leading to the recovery of fluorescence signals and enabling sensitive detection. The proposed fluorescent sensor exhibits excellent accuracy and convenience for the detection of PCA3 in urine, and a detection limit as low as 1.65 pM was obtained. This sensing system has achieved effective detection of clinical samples of prostate cancer and is expected to provide significant assistance in the screening and therapeutic feedback of prostate cancer in clinical diagnosis.

Background Exposure to anesthesia leads to extensive neurodegeneration and long-term cognitive deficits in the developing brain. Caenorhabditis elegans also shows persistent behavioral changes during development after exposure to anesthetics. Clinical and rodent studies have confirmed that altered expression of the regulators of G protein signaling (RGS) in the nervous system is a factor contributing to neurodegenerative and psychological diseases. Evidence from preclinical studies has suggested that RGS controls drug-induced plasticity, including morphine tolerance and addiction. This study aimed to observe the effect of propofol exposure in the neurodevelopmental stage on learning and memory in the L4 stage and to study whether this effect is related to changes in rgs-3 expression. Methods Caenorhabditis elegans were exposed to propofol at the L1 stage, and learning and memory abilities were observed at the L4 stage. The expression of rgs-3 and the nuclear distribution of EGL-4 were determined to study the relevant mechanisms. Finally, RNA interference was performed on rgs-3 -expressing cells after propofol exposure. Then, we observed their learning and memory abilities. Results Propofol time- and dose-dependently impaired the learning capacity. Propofol induced a decline in non-associative and associative long-term memory, rgs-3 upregulation, and a failure of nuclear accumulation of EGL-4/PKG in AWC neurons. Inhibition of rgs-3 could alleviate the propofol-induced changes. Conclusion Inhibition of the expression of rgs-3 alleviated propofol-induced learning and memory deficits in Caenorhabditis elegans .

With increasing demand on energy density of lithium-ion battery, wide electrochemical window and safety performance are the crucial request for next generation electrolyte. Gel-electrolyte as a pioneer for electrolyte solidization development aims to solve the safety and electrochemical window problems. However, low ionic conductivity and poor physical performance prohibit its further application. Herein, a fast-ionic conductor (Li 2.64 (Sc 0.9 Ti 0.1 ) 2 (PO 4 ) 3 ) (LSTP) was added into poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene) (PVDF-HFP) base gel-electrolyte to enhance mechanical properties and ionic conductivity. Evidences reveal that LSTP was able to weaken interforce between polymer chains, which increased the ionic conductibility and decreased interface resistance during the cycling significantly. The obtained LiFePO 4 /hybrid gel-electrolyte/Li-metal coin cell exhibited excellent rate capacity (145 mA·h/g at 1 C , 95 mA·h/g at 3 C , 28 °C) which presented a potential that can be comparable with commercialized liquid electrolyte system.

Since the grape skin and seed contain different phenolic substances, the proportion of the skin and seed will affect the wine mouthfeel during the wine making process. During the wine ageing, the interaction between flavanols with anthocyanins is an important reaction and considered linked to astringency. Hence, a major question is whether changing the skin-seed ratio will affect the polymerization of phenolic substances in wine, thus affecting the astringency of wine. To answer this, astringency of wine was studied by changing the content of grape skins and seeds by SDS-PAGE, fluorescence quenching and sensory taste. Besides, acetaldehyde-mediated condensation reaction between different flavan-3-ols and malvidin-3-glucoside were studied in model solution. The result showed that grape skins and seeds contribute differently to astringency sensation, mainly because of the difference in the type and content of flavanols and anthocyanins contained in them. In addition, acetaldehyde-induced flavan-3-ols: anthocyanin mixture presents a strong effect toward the interaction with BSA when compared to other phenolic combinations. Furthermore, it was observed that the protein-binding ability of the polyphenols in red wine has a strong correlation with the wine astringency intensity.

3-Acetylamino-5-acetylfuran (3A5AF) is an important nitrogen-containing fine chemical with broad application prospects and high research value. Herein, we report a novel method for the conversion of N-acetyl- d -glucosamine (NAG) to 3A5AF in the choline chloride-based deep eutectic solvents (DESs). The catalytic activities of various DESs have been smoothly screened, and DES 2 (choline chloride/PEG-200/boronic acid = 1/1/0.5) displayed the best catalytic performance. In the absence of any additional solvent, catalyst and additive, product 3A5AF was obtained in 18.3% yield after reacting at 180 °C for 15 min under atmospheric condition. In addition, DES 2 showed a good reusability. The possible reaction pathway was elucidated on the basis of the results of LC-MS and 13 C NMR spectra. This study provided a new perspective for the application of DES in the conversion of chitin biomass.

3-Hydroxypropionic acid (3-HP) and 1,3-propanediol (1,3-PDO) are value-added chemicals with versatile applications in the chemical, pharmaceutical, and food industries. Nevertheless, sustainable production of 3-HP and 1,3-PDO is often limited by the lack of efficient strains and suitable fermentation configurations. Herein, attempts have been made to improve the co-production of both metabolites through metabolic engineering of Escherichia coli and process optimization. First, the 3-HP and 1,3-PDO co-biosynthetic pathways were recruited and optimized in E. coli , followed by coupling the pathways to the transhydrogenase-mediated cofactor regeneration systems that increased cofactor availability and product synthesis. Next, pathway rebalancing and block of by-product formation significantly improved 3-HP and 1,3-PDO net titer. Subsequently, glycerol flux toward 3-HP and 1,3-PDO synthesis was maximized by removing metabolic repression and fine-tuning the glycerol oxidation pathway. Lastly, the combined fermentation process optimization and two-stage pH-controlled fed-batch fermentation co-produced 140.50 g/L 3-HP and 1,3-PDO, with 0.85 mol/mol net yield.
