High-performance, cost-efficient electrolyte systems are sought after for high-energy-density multivalent metal batteries. However, the expensive precursor and complex synthesis process hinders exploration of cathode electrode/electrolyte interfaces and solvation structures. Here we developed a universal cation replacement method to prepare low-cost, high-reversibility magnesium and calcium electrolytes derived from a zinc organoborate solvation structure. By rationally adjusting the precursor chain length and F-substitution degree, we can fine tune anion participation in the primary solvation shell. A completely dissociated Mg organoborate electrolyte enables high current endurance and enhanced electrochemical kinetics, whereas the Ca organoborate electrolyte with strong coordination/B–H inclusion offers a stable solid–electrolyte interphase with high coulombic efficiency. A rechargeable 53.4 Wh kg −1 Mg metal prototype is achieved with a 30 μm Mg anode, a low electrolyte/sulfur ratio (E/S = 5.58 μl mg −1 ) and a modified separator/interlayer. This work provides innovative strategies for reversible electrolyte systems and high-energy-density multivalent metal batteries.

With the growing attention to perovskite materials in the field of magnetic refrigeration. In this work, La 0.8−x Pr x Sr 0.2 MnO 3 (x = 0.05, 0.10, 0.15) (LPSMO) samples were synthesized through the sol–gel method. The effects of Pr 3 ⁺ doping on the structure, morphology, and magnetization of LPSMO were investigated. The XRD analysis revealed that the LPSMO samples have a rhombohedral structure within the R-3c space group. As the amount of Pr 3 ⁺ doping increased, the cell volume decreased. The magnetic properties of LPSMO exhibited a transition from ferromagnetic (FM) to paramagnetic (PM) near the Curie temperature (Tc), with Tc decreasing as the Pr 3 ⁺ doping level increased. The second-order magnetic phase transition of LPSMO near Tc was confirmed by employing the MPMS. The maximum magnetic entropy change ( \(-\Delta {S}_{M}^{max}\) ) of LPSMO is 4.92 J/(kg·K) (x = 0.05), 5.13 J/(kg·K) (x = 0.10) and 5.04 J/(kg·K) (x = 0.15) when the external magnetic field (H) = 5 T, separately. Meanwhile, the relative cooling power ( RCP ) of LPSMO are 283.88, 276.71, and 289.60 J·kg −1 , respectively. The experiments indicate that LPSMO has promising application prospects.

The limited energy storage density which is ascribed to low dielectric constant impedes the more diversified applications of polymer dielectric capacitors, and the environmental pollution problem caused by petroleum-based polymers cannot be ignored. Cellulose has the characteristics of wide source, low cost, and strong polarization generated by the hydroxy groups on the molecular chain giving it a high dielectric constant. In addition, nanocellulose has excellent mechanical properties that enable it to be fabricated into homogeneous films with high tensile strength. In this work, barium titanate nanoparticles (BTNPs) were incorporated into nanocellulose films to obtain enhanced dielectric performance. The composite film has the best comprehensive performance with BTNP content of 0.9 wt.%, resulting in a discharge energy density of 5.21 J cm −3 and charge/discharge efficiency of 77.7% at 350 MV m −1 . Consequently, nanocellulose-based dielectric materials give great promise for applications in biopolymer-based dielectric capacitors. Graphical abstract

The development of a novel signal amplification system is described for sensitive determination of α2,6-sialylated glycans (α2,6-sial-Gs), an important prognostic tumor biomarker. First, Fe-based metal-organic frameworks (Fe-MOFs) with silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) decorated onto the outer surface were designed and synthesized with controlled octahedron structures. The new Ag/Fe-MOFs nanocomposite possessed strong conductivity and a large surface area to carry more nanoprobes. To connect the Ag/Fe-MOFs nanocomposite with more groups, the nanocomposite was functionalized by -COOH with SH-PEG-COOH to bind with an α2,6-sial-Gs catcher, M-APBA, via -CONH- bonds. More importantly, the Ag/Fe-MOFs also exhibited an excellent endogenous redox mediator property to produce electrons, which is the fundamental mechanism underlying amplification of an electronic signal. A gold electrode was used to accelerate electron transfer and immobilize the α2,6-sial-Gs lectin (SNA). After the sandwich-type catcher recognition (SNA/α2,6-sial-Gs/M-APBA), the current peak response was provoked in the process of oxidizing AgNPs to Ag + in the forward anodic potential sweep, while Cl − in a PBS solution was transferred into Ag + to maintain charge neutrality. Optimized particles were employed for direct fabrication of the sandwich-type affinity biosensor, which was found to show a linear detection range from 1 fg mL −1 to 1 ng mL −1 with a detection limit of 0.09 fg mL −1 . Furthermore, the biosensor exhibited excellent specificity and stability, indicating that such a novel nanobiotechnology platform can be used to initiate potential utility for monitoring biomarkers in serum.

Based on a detailed study of the hydrolysis process of tetrabutyl orthotitanate (TBOT), TiO 2 nanoclusters were modified inside the pores of SiO 2 core-shell particles instead of the outside. The pore size distribution of SiO 2 core-shell spheres modified with TiO 2 (SiO 2 @ d SiO 2 @TiO 2 ) was analyzed by Barrett-Joyner-Halenda (BJH) method and density functional theory (DFT) method, respectively. The results of the DFT calculations demonstrate that the TiO 2 nanoclusters are always first formed in bulk solution and then enter the pores. By regulating the rate of hydrolysis of TBOT, almost all of the TiO 2 nanoclusters are modified into the pores and the structure of the original SiO 2 core-shell sphere is hardly affected. The morphology of the particles was characterized by scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. The crystal phase of TiO 2 was measured by XRD. SiO 2 @ d SiO 2 @TiO 2 spheres functionalized with C18 were packed into a stainless steel column. The chemical stability of SiO 2 @ d SiO 2 @TiO 2 spheres under alkaline was tested by flushing of a mobile phase at pH 13 for 7 days. The efficiency of the column after the alkali solution treatment still reaches 98,430 plates m −1 , which is only about 1.6% lower than that before the alkali solution treatment. A series of basic and acidic analytes were also separated on the column.
TiO 2 nanocrystals were coated into the pore of core-shell silica spheres. The prepared particles were packed into the column and separation performance up to 98,430 plates per meter was achieved.

Objective Coal miners are exposed to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), a group of neurotoxicants formed and released during incomplete combustion of coal. High levels of anxiety and depression have been reported in coal miners, but little is known about neurobehavioral functions in populations that are occupationally exposed to PAHs. We tested neurobehavioral performance in coal miners and correlated it with levels of urinary markers of PAH exposure. Methods Levels of urinary PAH metabolites were measured in 652 male coal miners as an indicator of exposure. Subjects were divided into a high-exposure group and a low-exposure group based on the median level of total PAH metabolites. A neurobehavioral core test battery and a questionnaire were used to assess neurobehavioral performance and collect demographic information, respectively. Results The median level of total PAH metabolites in urine was 4.88 μmol/mol creatinine. Highly exposed workers exhibited more fatigue-inertia than less-exposed workers ( p < 0.05), and had lower scores in forward digit span, digit symbol, and Benton visual retention tests ( p < 0.05). Multiple linear regression indicated that age, education, and shift work were significantly correlated with test scores. Conclusions PAH exposure may be associated with neurobehavioral alterations, which should be monitored in coal miners to prevent neurobehavioral disorders.

Next-generation wearable electronics demand lightweight membranes integrated with multiple functionalities. Here, heterogeneous composite membranes of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) from vertical orientation to spreading are developed with a simple method to address this challenge. Magnetite (Fe 3 O 4 ) nanoparticles with polydopamine ligands were uniformly adsorbed on acidified CNTs, resulting in magnetic responsive CNTs. Applying a magnet above the filtration membrane yielded a freestanding CNT/Fe 3 O 4 heterogeneous membrane with an adaptive gradient structure of CNTs transitioning from vertically aligned to horizontally spread. The heterogeneous surfaces of the magnetically aligned CNT/Fe 3 O 4 composite membranes displayed distinct differences in water contact angle, electrical conductivity, and thermal conductivity. Based on the adaptive alignment of CNTs, the fabricated freestanding heterogeneous composite membranes exhibited remarkable Joule heating effect and enhanced electromagnetic shielding effect.

Heterogeneous single-atom systems demonstrate potential to break performance limitations of single-atom catalysts through synergy interactions. The synergy in heterogeneous single atoms strongly dependes on their anchoring sites. Herein, we reveal the site-specific synergy in heterogeneous single atoms for oxygen evolution. The Ru T Ir V /CoOOH is fabricated by anchoring Ru single atoms onto three-fold facial center cubic hollow sites and Ir single atoms onto oxygen vacancy sites on CoOOH. Moreover, Ir T Ru V /CoOOH is also prepared by switching the anchoring sites of single atoms. Electrochemical measurements demonstrate the Ru T Ir V /CoOOH exhibits enhanced OER performance compared to Ir T Ru V /CoOOH. In-situ spectroscopic and mechanistic studies indicate that Ru single atoms at three-fold facial center cubic hollow sites serve as adsorption sites for key reaction intermediates, while Ir single atoms at oxygen vacancy sites stabilize the *OOH intermediates via hydrogen bonding interactions. This work discloses the correlation between the synergy in heterogeneous single atoms and their anchoring sites.

Mn–Zn ferrite (Mn 0.6 Zn 0.4 Fe 2 O 4 ) nanoparticles were synthesized using a modified sol–gel method at lower annealing temperature (minimum to 300 ℃). The experimental results and analysis indicate that these nanoparticles exhibit excellent soft magnetic properties with the ultra-high saturation magnetization ( Ms ) up to 45.1 emu/g, demonstrating the significant potential applications for biomedical industry, electronic devices, and wastewater decontamination, etc. More interestingly, Mn 0.6 Zn 0.4 Fe 2 O 4 nanoparticles exhibit unique size-dependent magnetic property, where the saturation magnetization ( Ms ) decreases with the decreasing crystalline size. Furthermore, there exists a linear proportional relationship between Ms and the reciprocal of the crystalline size (1/ D ). A novel theoretical model is subsequently proposed in the paper to elucidate the size-dependent magnetic property. Such magnetic nanoparticles composed of small-sized nanocrystalline can be analogized to a “core–shell” structure, in which the surface or interfacial state increases rapidly in proportion to the overall system. The magnetic moments are irregularly arranged in the “shell” that consists of abundant surface or interfacial states, so-called ‘magnetic disorder shell’. On the contrary, the ferrite “core” is a ferrimagnetically ordered region with a regular arrangement of magnetic moments, which is called as ‘magnetic order core’. With the decrease of crystalline size, the proportion of the ‘magnetic disorder shell’ increases. As a result, the magnetic property of the whole ferrite nanoparticle is weakened. It is believed that the present works contribute to the advancement of comprehending the correlation between the structure and property in magnetic nanoparticles.

Electroconductive hydrogels offer a promising avenue for enhancing the repair efficacy of spinal cord injuries (SCI) by restoring disrupted electrical signals along the spinal cord’s conduction pathway. Nonetheless, the application of hydrogels composed of diverse electroconductive materials has demonstrated limited capacity to mitigate the post-SCI inflammatory response. Recent research has indicated that the transplantation of M2 microglia effectively fosters SCI recovery by attenuating the excessive inflammatory response. Exosomes (Exos), small vesicles discharged by cells carrying similar biological functions to their originating cells, present a compelling alternative to cellular transplantation. This investigation endeavors to exploit M2 microglia-derived exosomes (M2-Exos) successfully isolated and reversibly bonded to electroconductive hydrogels through hydrogen bonding for synergistic promotion of SCI repair to synergistically enhance SCI repair. In vitro experiments substantiated the significant capacity of M2-Exos-laden electroconductive hydrogels to stimulate the growth of neural stem cells and axons in the dorsal root ganglion and modulate microglial M2 polarization. Furthermore, M2-Exos demonstrated a remarkable ability to mitigate the initial inflammatory reaction within the injury site. When combined with the electroconductive hydrogel, M2-Exos worked synergistically to expedite neuronal and axonal regeneration, substantially enhancing the functional recovery of rats afflicted with SCI. These findings underscore the potential of M2-Exos as a valuable reparative factor, amplifying the efficacy of electroconductive hydrogels in their capacity to foster SCI rehabilitation.

Manipulation C-C coupling pathway is of great importance for selective CO 2 electroreduction but remain challenging. Herein, two model Cu-based catalysts, by modifying Cu nanowires with Ag nanoparticles (AgCu NW) and Ag single atoms (Ag 1 Cu NW), respectively, are rationally designed for exploring the C-C coupling mechanisms in electrochemical CO 2 reduction reaction (CO 2 RR). Compared to AgCu NW, the Ag 1 Cu NW exhibits a more than 10-fold increase of C 2 selectivity in CO 2 reduction to ethanol, with ethanol-to-ethylene ratio increased from 0.41 over AgCu NW to 4.26 over Ag 1 Cu NW. Via a variety of o perando /in-situ techniques and theoretical calculation, the enhanced ethanol selectivity over Ag 1 Cu NW is attributed to the promoted H 2 O dissociation over the atomically dispersed Ag sites, which effectively accelerated *CO hydrogenation to form *CHO intermediate and facilitated asymmetric *CO-*CHO coupling over paired Cu atoms adjacent to single Ag atoms. Results of this work provide deep insight into the C-C coupling pathways towards target C 2+ product and shed light on the rational design of efficient CO 2 RR catalysts with paired active sites.

Metabolic reprogramming is fundamental to synovium remodeling with drug delivery for osteoarthritis (OA) therapy. Mitochonic acid 5-MASM7@MnTBAP nanoparticles (MM@MT NPs) with various physicochemical properties and biological activities may be developed as a supramolecular nano-drug delivering to articulus for regulating mitochondrial metabolism of synovium. This study aims to explore the feasibility, efficacy, and mechanism of MM@MT NPs, which possibly excavates a novel perspective for OA therapy. Herein, for feasibility, MM@MT NPs has been indicated to possess excellent photothermal, reactive oxygen species (ROS) response, and oxygen release performances. For efficacy, MM@MT NPs has been confirmed to promote extracellular matrix (ECM) regeneration. For mechanism, MM@MT NPs has been illustrated to restore the mitochondrial membrane potential and recover the mitochondrial dynamics, which is beneficial for maintaining mitochondrial homeostasis. Moreover, MM@MT NPs has been demonstrated to stimulate the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle and oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) in mitochondria as well as enhance antioxidant capacity and eliminate oxidative stress, which is reflected in regulating the adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and ROS metabolism. Therefore, MM@MT NPs can remodel the homeostasis of mitochondria via reprogramming metabolism in synovium, which achieves the symptomatic and etiological treatments of OA.
