Solid-state electrolytes (SSEs) are expected to replace liquid electrolytes in lithium metal batteries (LMBs) with good safety and mechanical strength. However, the existing problems of the Li1.3Al0.3Ti1.7(PO4)3 (LATP) electrolyte, like its poor contact with electrodes, serious side reactions and low ionic conductivity, limit its practical application. In this work, a chlorine (Cl)-doped LATP electrolyte showing a high ionic conductivity of 0.423 mS cm−1 was successfully synthesized. Neutron powder diffraction (NPD) results reveal that the change of the Li+ coordination environment after Cl doping has an effect on the ion diffusion path in the bulk LATP. The fabricated Li symmetric battery with the Cl-doped LATP exhibits long-term compatibility and electrochemical stability against the lithium metal anode. The enhanced performance may be attributed to the in situ formed stable solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) layer. Meanwhile, compared to the LATP electrolyte, the Li|LiFePO4 (LFP) full battery with Cl-doped LATP as an electrolyte has an improved rate performance and cycling performance. This work demonstrates that Cl doping may be an effective approach for improving the performance of the LATP electrolyte.

Stretchable optoelectronics represent an emerging technology featuring soft mechanical properties. The advancements in this active area rely on the development of compliant electronic materials. Currently, the deformable forms of light-emitting devices often exhibit double-side emissions due to the lack of stretchable reflective electrodes. This study reports a facile procedure to deposit smooth and uniform liquid metal films over large-area elastomeric substrates as stretchable reflective electrodes. The as-prepared electrodes exhibit low sheet resistance (0.15 Ω sq–1), high optical reflectance (95% at 550 nm), and ultrahigh deformability (500% strain). The electrode shows sufficient durability to survive repetitive tensile deformations. Successful implementation of a liquid metal electrode in a stretchable light-emitting device achieves single-side emission with enhanced light extraction. The stretchable reflective electrode reported here represents a key building component to enable a broad range of applications such as deformable lighting, wearable displays, and soft robotics.

An immunoassay strategy has been developed based on nanomotor-assisted electrochemical measurements for simple and sensitive detection of immunoglobulin (IgG). The self-propelled Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 /Pt nanomotors were designed to label primary antibodies IgG (nanomotor-label) for the “on-the-fly” binding of the immune-protein. The core shell Au@Ag nanocubes (Au@Ag NCs) were used as labels of secondary antibodies (Au@Ag NCs-Ab 2 ) to amplify electrochemical signal related to antigen concentration derived from the oxidation of Ag. The self-propelled nanomotors autonomously move in the solution to cruise and capture IgG and Au@Ag NCs-Ab 2 , resulting in the self-assembly of sandwich immune-complex. Finally, the immune-complex with magnetism can be transferred and modified on the electrode for the detection of IgG via differential pulse voltammetry. The self-propelled motion of the nanomotor-label obviates common procedures for the self-assembly of sandwich immunosensors to achieve satisfactory analysis results. With advantages of automation and miniaturization, the strategy based on self-propelled nanomotor-labels explores an effective method for the simple and sensitive detection of immune-protein in biosensing.

Nanopesticides with antiwashing capacity on leaves are the most promising new approaches for sustainable pest management and have been fully evaluated in the laboratory. However, few studies have tested these nanopesticides on pests, and their efficacy under field conditions has not been investigated. In this study, an adhesive hollow mesoporous silica hybrid with well-defined spherical shape and good monodispersity was used as a nanocarrier of cyantraniliprole (CNAP) to fabricate an adhesive nanopesticide (CNAP-HMS-PDAAM). The control efficacy of CNAP-HMS-PDAAM was tested under field conditions. The results indicated that the efficacy of four doses of CNAP-HMS-PDAAM (30.0–69.0 g a.i./ha) against Cnaphalocrocis medinalis (Guénee) 3, 7, and 14 days after spraying did not significantly differ from that of Benevia (34.5 g a.i./ha). Twenty-eight days after spraying, the efficacy of all four doses of CNAP-HMS-PDAAM was significantly better than that of Benevia. Additionally, the efficacy of CNAP-HMS-PDAAM at doses of 34.5, 39.0 and 69.0 g a.i./ha against Chilo suppressalis (Walker) were significantly higher than that of Benevia (34.5 g a.i./ha). Thus, CNAP-HMS-PDAAM showed long-term control efficacies against C. medinalis (Guénee) and C. suppressalis (Walker), mainly due to its strong adhesive property on rice leaves and its sustained release properties. In addition, the nanocarriers showed good biocompatibility and had no obvious influence on the growth of rice.

Despite the extraordinary X-ray scintillation performance of three-dimensional (3D) lead perovskite nanocrystals (PNCs), the serious biotoxicity of Pb 2+ and luminescent instability in water remain insurmountable obstacles for their applications in medical imaging. To address these drawbacks, herein, the study demonstrates one new lead-free zero-dimensional (0D) hybrid cuprous halide of single-crystalline [BzTPP] 2 Cu 2 I 4 (BzTPP = Benzyltriphenylphosphonium) as a satisfactory X-ray scintillator. [BzTPP] 2 Cu 2 I 4 displays broadband yellowish-green light emission with a high photoluminescent quantum yield (PLQY) of 44.2% and large Stokes shift of 167 nm upon UV light excitation. High PLQY and negligible self-absorption enable [BzTPP] 2 Cu 2 I 4 to display impressive scintillation performance excited by X-ray with a light yield of 27 706 photons MeV -1 and low detection limit of 0.352 µ Gy s −1 , surpassing typical 3D PNCs. More importantly, [BzTPP] 2 Cu 2 I 4 represents extraordinary structural and luminescent stability in water for at least one month. The excellent and stable radioluminescence performance as well as solution growth method ensure a [BzTPP] 2 Cu 2 I 4 -based screen for fine-resolution X-ray imaging with potential in radiography and inspection. This work highlights the multiple merits of low-toxicity and cost, high light yield, and long-term water-stability of 0D hybrid cuprous halides as highly desirable X-ray scintillators.

Magnetic lignosulfonate functional materials that were known to remove several types of dye from water effectively were prepared. The surface of an iron (II,III) oxide (Fe 3 O 4 ) sample was coated with a layer of organic carbon , and magnetic lignosulfonate (FCS) was synthesised by a crosslinking agent. The morphology, structure, stability and magnetic properties of the materials were characterised by various testing methods. Under experimental conditions, the solution’s acidity, alkalinity, contact time, temperature, desorption and dye concentration were measured. The experimental results show that the material reached the highest adsorption capacity at pH = 7. In addition, the adsorption data was similar to that of a single layer, Langmuir adsorption model. The maximum adsorption capacities were 198.24 mg g −1 (Congo Red) and 192.51 mg g −1 (Titan Yellow), respectively. Based on its desorption performance, the material had good recyclability . Therefore, these studies could be used in wastewater treatment . Hopefully, the proposed magnetic composites will inspire more scholars to investigate solutions to the problem of contaminated water resources.

Organic molecules such as viologens with a nitrogen redox center show promise as efficient anion storage materials in rechargeable batteries. However, the high solubility of viologens in liquid electrolytes limits their wide electrochemical application. Herein, an insoluble polymerized polyxylylviologen chloride (PXVCl2) is first developed as a chloride ion storage electrode in chloride ion batteries. The as-prepared PXVCl2 electrode exhibits a competitive discharge capacity of 140 mA h g–1 (86% of the theoretical discharge capacity) compared to that of the previously reported organic conducting polymer electrodes. The incorporation of graphene in the PXVCl2 material achieves significant improvements in reaction reversibility and rate capability of the PXVCl2 electrode. Importantly, the nitrogen redox reactions based on chloride ion transfer of the PXVCl2 electrode are demonstrated.

Rare earth-based polystyrene (PS) fluorescent microspheres, which vigorously combine the merits of rare earth elements and polystyrene microspheres, hold great potential for applications in the state-of-the-art technology and tremendous efforts have been devoted to the photoluminescence field. Herein, a 5-acrylamido-1,10-phenanthroline (Aphen) and Eu(III)-based polystyrene fluorescent microsphere was developed via a facial copolymerization strategy. The optimal complexes of Eu(β-NTA)3(Aphen) and Eu(BFA)3(TPPO)2 were fabricated as the luminescent materials. Specifically, Eu(β-NTA)3(Aphen)-PS was modified for the first time to enhance the photoluminescence property, which effectively integrated the Aphen with styrene monomer. Meanwhile, Eu(BFA)3(TPPO)2 was encapsulated into PS microspheres for the realization of Eu(BFA)3(TPPO)2-PS via an ubiquitous embedding process. The fluorescent intensity of Eu(β-NTA)3(Aphen)-PS was notably reinforced along with an increasing concentration of the rare earth complexes. However, the fluorescence intensity of Eu(BFA)3(TPPO)2-PS was decreased when the concentration was 50 mg due to the saturated solubility of the complexes. The obtained copolymerization fluorescent microspheres could prevent the premature leakage of the fluorescent complexes in a natural environment and showed an outstanding photoluminescence efficiency.

In this work, a sensitive and simple method was first developed for electrochemical determination of Ponceau 4R (E 124) based on an expanded graphite paste electrode (EGPE) by the square-wave stripping voltammetry (SWSV) method. The EGPE displayed good analytical performance for the measurement of Ponceau 4R. Under the optimum experimental conditions, Ponceau 4R could be linearly detected in the wide concentration range of 1.0 × 10−8 to 3.0 × 10−6 M, with a detection limit down to around 6.3 × 10−9 M at signal to noise ratio of 3:1. The developed method was successfully applied to the determination of Ponceau 4R in food samples with satisfying results and the results agreed with those from the high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).

Polylactic acid (PLA), a highly promising biodegradable biopolymer, has been extensively studied over the last two decades. The thermoplastic polyester PLA is bio-based, compostable, and eco-friendly. Its monomer, lactic acid, is fermented from renewable plant sources like starch and sugar. Therefore, PLA is regarded as a desirable substitute for conventional petroleum-based polymers. Because of its biocompatible and biodegradable properties, U.S. FDA (Food and Drug Administration) has approved PLA as a biomedical material. PLA has excellent mechanical, physical, structural, and thermal properties, making it suitable for various applications. However, PLA has limitations such as low impact toughness, hydrophobicity, and slow degradation rate at ambient temperatures. This can be improved by different modification methods, such as copolymerization, making composites or blends of PLA with other biodegradable polymers, or incorporating additives. This review presents information about the various methods of synthesis of PLA, its properties, and the environmental degradation of PLA. In addition, the different processing techniques of PLA are also reviewed. Lastly, the applications of PLA in sectors such as packaging, biomedical, agricultural, automotive, and textile are also discussed. Graphical Abstract

The plasticizer is an important polymer material additive. Non-toxic and environmentally friendly plasticizers are developed recently in order to decrease fossil fuel reserves, serious environmental pollution and the toxicity of phthalate esters. In this study, a new, efficient and
environmentally friendly plasticizer of hydrogenated rosin dodecyl ester was prepared by an esterification reaction of hydrogenated rosin and dodecanol. The influences of different reaction conditions (including different catalysts, the catalyst concentration, the ratio of the reactants, reaction
temperature, and reaction time) on the esterification yield are examined and discussed. Hydrogenated rosin dodecyl ester with 71.8% yield was synthesized under the optimized reaction conditions (1:0.8 molar ratio of rosin to dodecanol, 1 mol% tetrabutyl titanate concentration, and 210°C
for 6 h). The esterification reaction is a second-order reaction, and kinetic calculations showed that the activation energy is 39.77 KJ·mol–1. The structure of the hydrogenated rosin dodecyl ester was confirmed by FT-IR spectroscopy and 13C NMR spectrum.
Besides, the thermal stability of target product (hydrogenated rosin dodecyl ester) was also tested by thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), which showed a good thermal stability.

Superhydrophobic surfaces with self-cleaning properties have been developed based on roughness on the micro- and nanometer scales and low-energy surfaces. However, such surfaces are fragile and stop functioning when exposed to oil. Addressing these challenges, here we show an ultrarobust self-cleaning surface fabricated by a process of metal electrodeposition of a rough structure that is subsequently coated with fluorinated metal-oxide nanoparticles. Scanning electron microscopy, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction were employed to characterize the surfaces. The micro- and nanoscale roughness jointly with the low surface energy imparted by the fluorinated nanoparticles yielded surfaces with water contact angle of 164.1° and a sliding angle of 3.2°. Most interestingly, the surface exhibits fascinating mechanical stability after finger-wipe, knife-scratch, sand abrasion, and sandpaper abrasion tests. It is found that the surface with superamphiphobic properties has excellent repellency toward common corrosive liquids and low-surface-energy substances. Amazingly, the surface exhibited excellent self-cleaning ability and remained intact even after its top layer was exposed to 50 abrasion cycles with sandpaper and oil contamination. It is believed that this simple, unique, and practical method can provide new approaches for effectively solving the stability issue of superhydrophobic surfaces and could extend to a variety of metallic materials.
