Lithium–sulfur battery is amongst the most promising next-generation energy storage technology owing to their high theoretical capacity and energy density . Nevertheless, the notorious shuttle effect of lithium polysulfides (LiPSs) seriously impedes its practical applications. Here, we report an all-CVD approach to realize the direct growth of ReS 2 @N-doped graphene (NG) heterostructure , which serves as an ultralight high-performance interlayer for elevated LiPS regulation via easy transfer onto the commercial separator. In contrast to the traditional interlayers constructed via vacuum filtration of nanostructured materials that inevitably increase the thickness and weight of the separator, our all-CVD-enabled ReS 2 @NG film possesses an area of 15 mm × 100 mm, a thickness of ~0.5 μm and a negligible areal weight of 80–90 μg cm −2 . Benefiting from the two-dimensional (2D) vertically-erected nanostructure , adsorptive ReS 2 -conductive NG interface, and favorable electrical conductivity , thus-derived ReS 2 @NG interlayer readily enhances reaction kinetics for LiPS conversion and boosts the reutilization of trapped LiPS whilst guaranteeing smooth transportation of lithium ions . Accordingly, an initial discharge capacity of 854 mAh g −1 with an average capacity decay of 0.064% per cycle after 800 cycles can be harvested at 2.0 C. Even at a high sulfur loading of 6.4 mg cm −2 , an initial areal capacity of 6.1 mAh cm −2 can be gained, which still retains 5.8 mAh cm −2 after 40 cycles at 0.1 C. This work is anticipated to shed light upon the construction of CVD-enabled versatile 2D heterostructures for enriching the interlayer design with multifunctionality and cost-effectiveness.

A long-lasting challenge in ultraviolet (UV) nonlinear optical (NLO) materials design is to combine conflicting and harsh properties into one structure, including wide UV transparency, strong NLO efficiency, and moderate birefringence to realize phase-matching at short wavelength. A fluorine-directed material design strategy is adopted to accelerate the process of finding NLO materials with optimal performances. In this work, taking LiB 3 O 5 (LBO) as a maternal structure, one O atom with two F atoms is substituted and LiNaB 6 O 9 F 2 which possesses novel double interpenetrating 3 [B 6 O 9 F 2 ] ∞ networks and fluorine-directed optimal performances including enhanced birefringence and phase-matching capacity is successfully obtained. The perfect balance among deep-UV cutoff edge, large second-harmonic generation (SHG) response (1.1 × KDP), and moderate birefringence (0.067 at 1064 nm) of LiNaB 6 O 9 F 2 makes it a promising UV NLO crystal.

P2-Na 0.67 Ni 0.33 Mn 0.67 O 2 is considered as a promising cathode material for sodium-ion battery (SIBs) because of its high capacity and discharge potential. However, its practical use is limited by Na + /vacancy ordering and P2-O2 phase transition. Herein, a Ti 4+ /F − co-doping strategy is developed to address these issues. The optimal P2-Na 0.67 Ni 0.33 Mn 0.37 Ti 0.3 O 1.9 F 0.1 exhibits much enhanced sodium storage performance in the high voltage range of 2.0–4.4 V, including a cycling stability of 77.2% over 300 cycles at a rate of 2 C and a high-rate capability of 87.7 mAh g −1 at 6 C. Moreover, the P2-Na 0.67 Ni 0.33 Mn 0.37 Ti 0.3 O 1.9 F 0.1 delivers reversible capacities of 82.7 and 128.1 mAh g −1 at −10 and 50 °C at a rate of 2 C, respectively. The capacity retentions over 200 cycles at −10 °C is 94.2%, implying more opportunity for practical application. In-situ X-ray diffraction analysis reveals that both P2-O2 phase transitions and Na + /vacancy ordering is suppressed by Ti 4+ /F − co-doping, which resulting in fast Na + diffusion and stable phase structure. The hard carbon//P2-Na 0.67 Ni 0.33 Mn 0.37 Ti 0.3 O 1.9 F 0.1 full cell exhibits a high energy density of 310.2 Wh kg −1 and remarkable cyclability with 82.1% retention after 300 cycles at 1 C in the voltage range of 1.5–4.2 V. These results demonstrate that the co-doping Ti 4+ /F − is a promising strategy to improve the electrochemical properties of P2-Na 0.67 Ni 0.33 Mn 0.67 O 2 , providing a facile tactic to develop high performance cathode materials for SIBs.

Electrospun membranes of poly(p-dioxanone-co- l -phenylalanine) (PDPA) hold potential as an anti-adhesion material. Since adjustable degradation properties are important for anti-adhesion materials, in this study, the in vitro and in vivo degradation processes of PDPA electrospun membranes were investigated in detail. The morphological analysis of these membranes revealed the main degradation conditions of PDPA membranes. The weight remaining and molecular weight variation showed that the overall degradation rate of the membranes could be adjusted by modulating the molecular structure of the PDPAs. Especially, α-chymotrypsin could catalyze the degradation process of PDPAs. Based on these results, the in vitro degradation mechanism was demonstrated, and confirmed by 1 H NMR of the hydrolysis products. Finally, the in vivo degradation and biocompatibility of different PDPAs were investigated. The kinetic study showed that the in vitro and in vivo molecular weight loss of PDPAs have the first-order characteristics. The in vivo degradation rate of the most Phe-containing PDPA-3 is the slowest, and this result relates to the biocompatibilities of PDPAs. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Earth abundant Cu 2 ZnSn(S,Se) 4 (CZTSSe) has been considered as one of the most promising thin film solar cell absorber candidates. Here, we develop a facile water-based precursor solution approach for depositing high-efficiency Cu 2 ZnSn(S,Se) 4 thin film solar cells. In this environmentally friendly approach, inexpensive elemental Cu, Zn, Sn and S powders are used as the starting materials and are dissolved in the aqueous solution of thioglycolic acid and methylamine, forming a homogeneous precursor solution for depositing Cu 2 ZnSnS 4 nanocrystal thin film . As-deposited CZTS nanocrystal thin films are selenized to form the large-grain CZTSSe absorber layers . It was found that Na doping plays an important role in the formation of the extremely dense and flat CZTSSe absorber layer, and fill factor can be significantly improved for Na-doped CZTSSe solar cells, which lead to a photoelectric conversion efficiency of 6.96% with an open-circuit voltage of 378 mV, a short current density of 28.17 mA cm −2 , and a fill factor of 65.4%.

Strong, stretchable, and durable biomaterials with shape memory properties can be useful in different biomedical devices, tissue engineering, and soft robotics. However, it is challenging to combine these features. Semi-crystalline polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) has been used to make hydrogels by conventional methods such as freeze–thaw and chemical crosslinking, but it is formidable to produce strong materials with adjustable properties. Herein, a method to induce crystallinity and produce physically crosslinked PVA hydrogels via applying high-concentration sodium hydroxide into dense PVA polymer is introduced. Such a strategy enables the production of physically crosslinked PVA biomaterial with high mechanical properties, low water content, resistance to injury, and shape memory properties. It is also found that the developed PVA hydrogel can recover 90% of plastic deformation due to extension upon supplying water, providing a strong contraction force sufficiently to lift objects 1100 times more than their weight. Cytocompatibility, antifouling property, hemocompatibility, and biocompatibility are also demonstrated in vitro and in vivo. The fabrication methods of PVA-based catheters, injectable electronics, and microfluidic devices are demonstrated. This gelation approach enables both layer-by-layer and 3D printing fabrications.

Metal chalcogenides are extensively studied as infrared second-order nonlinear optical (NLO) materials. Among the candidates, ones containing cations with lone-pair electrons in the structure have received great interest in view of the lone-pair electrons’ special contribution to the NLO property . Here, we revisit such a sulfide Sb 6 Sb 6 S 17 and study its NLO property , which represents a novel structure-type of NLO material. It exhibits phase-matchable second-harmonic generation activity, and the powder sample shows a laser-induced damage threshold (LIDT) around 3.2 times that of AgGaS 2 when both have the particle sizes of 75–110 μ m. Its optical energy gap is measured to be 1.92 eV and the powder sample has a transparency range from 0.65 to 25 μ m. The electronic structure and optical property calculations are also performed.

According to the sixth edition of China’s “New Coronavirus Diagnosis and Treatment Plan (NCDTP),” ReDuNing injection (RDN) was firstly introduced to treat severe and critical COVID-19, whereas its combination with broad-spectrum antibiotics was suggested to take with extreme caution and full reasons. Therefore, we aim to describe the pharmacokinetics of seven active phytochemicals and semiquantification of nine relevant metabolites in ReDuNing injection (RDN) after combining with cefuroxime sodium (CNa) for injection in rat plasma. Male Sprague–Dawley rats were randomly assigned to six groups, and they were intravenously administered, respectively, with different prescriptions of RDN (2 mL/kg) and CNa (225 mg/kg). At different time points (0.03, 0.08, 0.17, 0.24, 0.33, 0.50, 0.67, 1, and 6 h) after administration, the drug concentrations of iridoids glycosides, organic acids, and metabolites in rat plasma were determined using ultrahigh-pressure liquid chromatography coupled with linear ion rap-orbitrap tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC–LTQ–Orbitrap–MS), and main pharmacokinetic parameters were estimated by noncompartment model. The results showed that there were differences in pharmacokinetic parameters, AUC (0-t) , T 1/2 , C max , CL of iridoids glycosides, and organic acids, after the intravenous administration of the different combinations of RDN and CNa. Moreover, different combinations of the injections also resulted in different curves of relative changes of each metabolite. The obtained results suggested that RDN and CNa existed pharmacokinetic drug–herb interactions in rats. The findings not only lay the foundation for evaluating the safety of RDN injection combined with CNa but also make contributions to clinically applying RDN injection combined with CNa, which works potentially against severe forms of COVID-19.

In this study, a temperature self-regulating solar reactor based on VO 2 thermochromic coating is demonstrated. The temperature of solar reactor can be stabilized at 68.8 °C, which is corresponded to the critical point of metal-to-insulator transition of VO 2 . By employing the solar reactor, the orthorhombic phase CsPbI 3 microwires have been synthesized through solution phase reaction route. Strong emission peaks at 490 nm and 470 nm have been observed in CsPbI 3 microwires under ultraviolet and soft X-ray excitation, respectively. The high performance photodetector based on CsPbI 3 microwire show a detectivity of 1.09 × 10 14 Jones, responsivity of 4.72 A/W, rapid rise and decay time of 0.96 and 0.93 s at 325 nm. Our results demonstrate that the temperature self-regulating solar reactor can be applied for energy-saving solution phase reactor for synthesizing high quality inorganic materials.

With developing of thermoelectric (TE) performance, GeTe-based TE materials present great promising application at medium temperatures as a replacement for toxic PbTe. However, the further improvement of TE properties is severely constrained by the coupling of electron and phonon transport. In this study, we achieve decoupled electron and phonon transport by effectively creating a special phase boundary to scatter phonon but transmit electron by implanting multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) into Bi-doped GeTe. With the help of this decoupling mechanism, the power factor is effectively improved and reaches up to ∼4482 μW −1 m −1 K −2 at 673 K while the thermal conductivity shows an obvious drop to ∼1.27 W m −1 K −1 at 723 K, leading to an impressive increase in zT to a maximum value of ∼2.3 at 723 K. In particular, a competitive average zT value of ∼1.43 in the temperature range of 323–773 K is obtained, which is at a high level in lead-free GeTe-based materials. Our method could be used as a guidance for the decoupling of electron and phonon transport in other TE materials .

The interplay between solid electrolytes and electrodes is of vital importance to the performance of all-solid-state Li batteries. Recently, halide superionic conductors have emerged as a new family of high-performance solid electrolytes, but their compatibility with Li metal, i.e., the anode with the highest theoretical capacity, has not been systematically studied. Here, we investigate the interaction between Li metal and two representative halide solid electrolytes: Li 3 YCl 6 and Li 3 YBr 6 . Both materials are found to form interphases with Li, similar to most solid electrolytes. However, the interphases observed here contain electronic conducting components, which are detrimental to their compatibility with Li. By elucidating this phenomenon, the present study provides guiding principles for improving the Li compatibility of halide solid electrolytes.

Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) is a kind of natural, renewable, and biocompatible materials that can be functional via the surface modification. A covalently bonded CNCs-g-PDMAEMA was prepared by grafting 2-(dimethyl-amino) ethyl methacrylate (DMAEMA) on the CNCs’ surface via atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP). Subsequently, the tertiary amino groups of the CNCs-g-PDMAEMA were transferred to quaternary ammonium groups by adding alkyl bromides with different carbon chain lengths (C10-C18). It was found that the antibacterial activity of the prepared materials is related to the quaternary group structure. The material containing C10 alkyl in quaternary group exhibited the best antibacterial efficiency, which was closely associated with the wettability of the quaternary CNCs-based polymers. The lower wettability of materials with higher hydrophobicity may impose a restriction on the polymeric antibacterial groups’ accessibility to the cytoplasmic membrane of bacteria. The antimicrobial CNCs-based composites may be potential to apply as coating agents for aseptic packaging.
