To improve the sinterability, a new LATP-x wt% LiBiO 3 composite solid electrolyte was fabricated by adding LiBiO 3 to a NASICON-type Li 1.5 Al 0.5 Ti 1.5 (PO 4 ) 3 (LATP) solid electrolyte synthesized by the sol–gel method. The results showed that the liquid phase formed by the LiBiO 3 additive promoted grain growth during the sintering process, which led to structural stability and an increased relative density of LATP. When the LiBiO 3 addition amount was 2 wt%, the relative density was 94%, and the bulk ionic conductivity was 2.91 × 10 −4 S cm −1 . In addition, to improve the interfacial instability between the solid electrolyte and lithium metal, we prepared a PPS/LATP-LiBiO 3 /PPS composite solid electrolyte with a sandwich structure using a polymer PVDF-HFP-PEO-SN (PPS) cladding method to construct an LFP/SSCEs/Li all-solid-state battery. The electrical property test results showed that the all-solid-state battery still had 92% discharging capacity and nearly 100% coulombic efficiency after 50 cycles at 25 °C and 0.1 C.

Demand for light-packaging materials for food and beverages is on the rise globally, especially in developing countries where several depend on packaged food. Furthermore, poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) a semi-crystalline thermally stable polyester, is widely used for carbonated soft drink, water and juice bottles, but shows a poor degradability properties after their lifespan. In this investigation, a series of novel random partially degradable poly(carbonate- co -esters) (PTB/PTBC n ) containing 2,5-thiophenedicarboxylic acid (TDCA), and different amounts of bis(2-hydroxyethoxy)benzene (BHEB) and 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol (CHDM) sub-units were successfully synthesized via a two-step melt polymerization as a facile and green semi-continuous process. The copolymers were thermally stable with tunable T g values ranging from 47 to 71 °C, while their 5% decomposition temperature (T d, 5% ) under N 2 varied from 463 to 432 °C. Herein, focus was made on the synthesis of eco-friendly polyesters with satisfactory O 2 -gas barrier properties (5.5 cm 3 mm/m 2 × day × atm) at 25 °C suitable for most packaging applications. The mechanical and thermal analysis of PTB and PTBC n polyesters revealed excellent properties comparable to commonly used packaging materials such as poly(vinyl chloride), poly(lactic acid) and PET, whereby the incorporation of cyclohexane (CHDM) and phenyl (BHEB) rings units greatly enhanced the thermal and mechanical properties, transparency, oxygen permeability, and biodegradability of these polyesters.

Green-fluorescent nitrogen-doped carbon quantum dots (g-CQDs) were synthesized via a simple and convenient one-step hydrothermal method using Passiflora edulis sims shell as a carbon source and m-phenylenediamine as a nitrogen source and applied to the detection of uric acid. Unlike most reported blue fluorescent probes, the obtained g-CQDs showed bright-green fluorescence under ultraviolet light with a high quantum yield of 37.6%. Moreover, the g-CQDs exhibit outstanding photostability and high sensitivity, an excellent linearity ranging from 1 to 17 µM, and a great limit of detection of 0.94 µM, which renders them suitable for the determination of uric acid in human urine with remarkable selectivity.

The recycled graphite (RG) and a new type of recycled graphite with multi-layer coating structure (RGC) were prepared by using spent graphite and asphalt. The electrochemical properties and coatings of RG and RGC were also investigated. The low graphitization degree of hard carbon and soft carbon was beneficial to improve the electrochemical properties of regenerated graphite, which was verified by first principles. The unique structure (soft carbon/ hard carbon/ graphite) limited the volume expansion of hard carbon and graphite when lithium ions were embedded or extruded, which improved the rate capability and cycling performance of the battery. Compared with spent graphite (SG) and recycled graphite (RG), the first charge-specific capacity of RGC at 0.1 C was 349.17 mAh·g − 1 , and the coulombic efficiency was 82.47%. Impressive reversible capacity was 263.38 mAh·g − 1 after 130 cycles at 0.5 C and discharge capacity of 188 mAh·g − 1 at 1 C. Due to the pre-lithiation of RGC, the first coulomb efficiency (99.49%) of the full battery (18,650) was higher than that of commercial graphite, and the energy conservation rate was 65.6% after 2000 cycles. This study provides a simple and effective scheme, and realizes the clean recovery and high value commercial application of spent graphite.

Background Research on human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) has shown tremendous progress in cell-based regenerative medicine. Corneal endothelial dysfunction is associated with the loss and degeneration of corneal endothelial cells (CECs), rendering cell replacement a promising therapeutic strategy. However, comprehensive preclinical assessments of hPSC-derived CECs for this cell therapy remain a challenge. Results Here we defined an adapted differentiation protocol to generate induced corneal endothelial cells (iCECs) consistently and efficiently from clinical-grade human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) with xeno-free medium and manufactured cryopreserved iCECs. Cells express high levels of typical CECs markers and exhibit transendothelial potential properties in vitro typical of iCECs. After rigorous quality control measures, cells meeting all release criteria were available for in vivo studies. We found that there was no overgrowth or tumorigenicity of grafts in immunodeficient mice. After grafting into rabbit models, the surviving iCECs ameliorated edema and recovered corneal opacity. Conclusions Our work provides an efficient approach for generating iCECs and demonstrates the safety and efficacy of iCECs in disease modeling. Therefore, clinical-grade iCECs are a reliable source for future clinical treatment of corneal endothelial dysfunction.

Rechargeable halide-ion batteries (HIBs) are good candidates for large-scale due to their appealing energy density, low cost, and dendrite-free features. However, state-of-the-art electrolytes limit the HIBs’ performance and cycle life. Here, via experimental measurements and modelling approach, we demonstrate that the dissolutions in the electrolyte of transition metal and elemental halogen from the positive electrode and discharge products from the negative electrode cause the HIBs failure. To circumvent these issues, we propose the combination of fluorinated low-polarity solvents with a gelation treatment to prevent dissolutions at the interphase, thus, improving the HIBs’ performance. Using this approach, we develop a quasi-solid-state Cl-ion-conducting gel polymer electrolyte. This electrolyte is tested in a single-layer pouch cell configuration with an iron oxychloride-based positive electrode and a lithium metal negative electrode at 25 °C and 125 mA g –1 . The pouch delivers an initial discharge capacity of 210 mAh g –1 and a discharge capacity retention of almost 80% after 100 cycles. We also report assembly and testing of fluoride-ion and bromide-ion cells using quasi-solid-state halide-ion-conducting gel polymer electrolyte.

A new dual-mode ratiometric fluorescence and colorimetric probe for selective determination of Cu 2+ was developed based on blue-emission sulfur quantum dots (SQDs) and yellow-emission carbon quantum dots (CQDs). The fluorescence and absorbance of CQDs increased in the presence of Cu 2+ due to the Cu 2+ -oxidized o-phenylenediamine group on the surface of the CQDs. Because of the inner filter effect between SQDs and CQDs-Cu 2+ , the fluorescence response of SQDs decreased following the introduction of Cu 2+ . Furthermore, in the presence of Cu 2+ , the dual-mode SQD–CQD probe showed visible color changes under both ultraviolet light and sunlight. Under optimal conditions, the dual-mode probe was used to quantitatively detect Cu 2+ with a linear range of 0.1–5.0 μM for ratiometric fluorescence and colorimetry, with a limit of detection of about 31 nM and 47 nM, respectively. Finally, the dual-mode probe was used for the determination of Cu 2+ in practical samples to expand the practical application, and the difference between ratiometric fluorescence and colorimetric methods was compared. The recovery results confirmed the high accuracy of the dual-mode probe, showing that it has immense potential for sensitive and selective detection of Cu 2+ in practical samples. Graphical abstract

Ferroelectric materials with the typical perovskite structure are widely used in capacitors, ultrasonic devices, oil drilling, transducers, and other fields. Lead-lanthanum-zirconium-titanate ceramics co-doped with Sn and Ba , have been widely investigated. However, there is little attention has been focused on the dielectric properties of barium-lanthanum-zirconium-titanate. Thus, in this work, Sn doped Ba 0.955 La 0.03 Zr 0.02 Ti 0.98 O 3 ferroelectric ceramics were prepared via a classical high-temperature solid state reaction. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) was used to observe the surface appearance of ceramics. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns at room temperature, indicate that the ceramics are well crystallized. Impedance properties and dielectric properties reflect the characteristic of typical high temperature dielectric relaxation behavior. The conductive activation energy and the relaxation activation energy are obtained through the calculation of the Arrhenius law. The fitting results show that the dielectric relaxation behavior at high-temperature, was related to the oxygen defect. The electrical modulus verified the partial short-range carrier migration, also contribute to the high-temperature dielectric properties.

The high energy density and stability of solid-state lithium metal batteries (SSLMBs) have garnered great attention. Garnet-type oxides, especially Li 6.4 La 3 Zr 1.4 Ta 0.6 O 12 (LLZTO), with high ionic conductivity, wide electrochemical window, and stability to Li metal anode, are promising solid-state electrolyte (SSEs) materials for SSLMBs. However, Li/LLZTO interface issues including high interface resistance, inhomogeneous Li deposition, and Li dendrite growth have hindered the practical application of SSLMBs. Herein, a multi-functional Li–SnF 2 composite anode with Li, LiF, and Li-Sn alloy was specifically designed and prepared. The composite anode improves the wettability to LLZTO, constructing an intimate contact interface between it and LLZTO. Meanwhile, ionic/electronic conductive paths in situ formed at the interface can effectively uniform Li deposition and suppress Li dendrite. The solid-state symmetric cell exhibits low interface resistance (11 Ω·cm 2 ) and high critical current density (1.3 mA·cm −2 ) at 25 °C. The full SSLMB based on LiFePO 4 or LiNi 0.5 Co 0.2 Mn 0.3 O 2 cathode also shows stable cycling performance and high rate capability. This work provides a new composite anode strategy for achieving high-energy density and high-safety SSLMBs. Graphical abstract

Silk fibre mechanical properties are attributed to the development of a multi-scale hierarchical structure during spinning. By careful ex vivo processing of a B. mori silkworm silk solution we arrest the spinning process, freezing-in mesoscale structures corresponding to three distinctive structure development stages; gelation, fibrilization and the consolidation phase identified in this work, a process highlighted by the emergence and extinction of ‘water pockets’. These transient water pockets are a manifestation of the interplay between protein dehydration, phase separation and nanofibril assembly, with their removal due to nanofibril coalescence during consolidation. We modeled and validated how post-draw improves mechanical properties and refines a silk’s hierarchical structure as a result of consolidation. These insights enable a better understanding of the sequence of events that occur during spinning, ultimately leading us to propose a robust definition of when a silkworm silk is actually ‘spun’.

Graphene-based composite aerogel doped with other low-cost materials can reduce the cost and promote the use in water treatment. This work prepared ball-milled biochar/reduced graphene oxide aerogel (BC/rGA) using GO and low-cost ball-milled biochar (BC) in a certain proportion with the freeze-thawing technique and sol–gel method, and applied BC/rGA on the Cr(VI) removal from aquatic environments. The characterization results showed that aerogel had a honeycomb briquette three-dimension (3D) and mesoporous structure with interconnected pores, and proved the preparation progress of aerogel in principle. Compared with GO, rGA and BC/rGA had better adsorption performance with 3D structure and well-developed pores, and BC/rGA with the mixture ratio of BC and GO of 1:4 was more appropriate. The adsorption kinetics data of rGA and BC/rGA (1:4) were fitting well with the pseudo-second-order model ( R 2 > 0.951), and the isotherm adsorption results were fitting the Langmuir model well ( R 2 > 0.974). The results demonstrated that the adsorption process was monolayer and endothermic adsorption involving chemisorption. Additionally, the adsorption capacities of rGA and BC/rGA (1:4) at solution pH 2 were 3.71 and 3.89 times greater than those at solution pH 8, respectively. High background ion strength and low temperature slightly inhibited the adsorption of Cr(VI) by both rGA and BC/rGA (1:4) . The adsorption mechanisms of Cr(VI) on rGA and BC/rGA (1:4) were electrostatic interaction, reduction and ion exchange. The use of BC/rGA could reduce the cost and promote the green reuse of agricultural waste. Overall, BC/rGA could be used as a promising green adsorbent alternative for the feasible treatment of heavy metal contaminated water. Graphical Abstract

Integrating energetic materials with microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) to realize miniaturized energetic chips has shown broad application prospects in micro-spacecraft, micro-satellites, ballistic correction munitions, and smart munitions. In this work, a new type of MEMS compatible Cu/ICM-101 energetic film was successfully fabricated on copper substrates by in-situ electrochemical synthesis, the morphology and ignition property of which can be effectively controlled by adjusting the voltage and electrochemical deposition time. The morphology, composition, thermal properties, and ignition performance of as-prepared Cu/ICM-101 films were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, differential scanning calorimetry, and pulsed laser. The results show that the as-prepared Cu/ICM-101 films possesses nano porous framework structure with an exothermic heat of 1800.9 J·g −1 and a thermal decomposition peak temperature of 256.4 °C. In addition, the flame height and ignition duration of which reach 10 mm and 300 μs, respectively. This work provides a reference for the integration and application of energetic materials in MEMS systems.
