In this study, Zr-modified Si-O-C precursor ceramics were prepared using three-dimensional (3D) printing. Ceramic sintering was completed by printing four precursors containing different zirconium acetylacetone contents. Comparative analysis was conducted on the ceramic yield, size shrinkage, mechanical properties, and microstructure. The results showed that the ceramic yield and size shrinkage of the four samples were increased with the increasing zirconium acetylacetone contents. The sample containing 30 wt% zirconium acetylacetone exhibited good compressive performance, with a compressive strength of 50.2 ± 0.6 MPa. Cracks were observed on the surface of samples containing 40 wt% zirconium acetylacetone, while those containing 10, 20, and 30 wt% zirconium acetylacetone were relatively intact. Therefore, a stable Si-Zr-O-C precursor ceramic with good mechanical properties, which can be used for 3D printing, was obtained.

Polarization loss and conduction loss are the important attenuation mechanisms in dielectric loss dominant electromagnetic wave (EMW) absorbers, but their synergistic effects in different frequency bands need to be further investigated. In this study, FeNi/ZnO/C/Ni 3 ZnC 0.7 composites (FNZC) were synthesized using a simple and environmentally friendly template-sacrificing method, with water as the only solvent. By varying the elemental addition, the phase and microstructure of the final product can be controlled, which in turn affects the conduction loss and polarization loss, thus altering the EMW absorption performance. The minimum reflection loss (RL) value and EAB of the optimized FNZC composite are –49.23 dB and 5.48 GHz (12.32–18.00 GHz), respectively, covering 99.9 % of the Ku band. Additionally, the RLmin values in the S, C, and X bands are below –17 dB. Based on the component regulation strategy and the analysis of electromagnetic parameters, Cole-Cole curves, and EMW absorption performance, it can be concluded that conduction loss is the primary factor contributing to strong absorption of low-frequency EMW. In contrast, interfacial polarization and defect-induced polarization are the main factors for strong absorption of medium- and high-frequency EMW.

With the increasing demand for energy storage technology, iron-chromium flow batteries (ICFBs) have been widely concerned because of their price advantage. However, the low electrochemical activity of Cr 3+ /Cr 2+ redox couples and the side hydrogen evolution reaction limit the industrial application of ICFBs. A multi-dimensional Bi/carbon composite electrocatalyst (Bi@C) for ICFB is designed and prepared to improve the electrochemical activity of Cr 3+ /Cr 2+ redox couples. Benefiting by using the Bimetal organic framework (Bi-MOF) with solid matrix as precursors, Bi nanospheres are highly dispersed on the Bi@C electrocatalyst that effectively enhances the electrochemical activity. The special morphology of Bi@C electrocatalyst helps the transfer of electrons and ions, significantly reducing the polarization of battery. Herein, the 3D porous carbon frames accelerate mass transfer, and the 2D carbon nanobelts and carbon layer coating on 0D Bi nanospheres improve the conductivity of Bi nanospheres. Therefore, the ICFB with multi-dimensional Bi@C electrocatalyst exhibits coulombic efficiency of 98.10% and energy efficiency of 79.14% at 140 mA cm −2 , which is higher than ICFBs with commercial graphite carbon electrocatalyst and with heat treatment carbon felt. This work provides a simple and economical method to fabricate a high-performance multidimensional Bi@C electrocatalyst for Cr 3+ /Cr 2+ redox couples, boosting the development of ICFBs.

Ultrahigh-nickel layered oxide cathodes (≥90% nickel) possess exceptionally high discharge capacities, which can significantly improve the energy density of lithium-ion batteries and alleviate the driving range anxiety of electric vehicles. However, the high interfacial reactivity of ultrahigh-nickel cathodes, especially the detrimental side reactions with harmful acidic species like HF in the electrolyte, can deteriorate the battery interface and reduce the cycle life, hindering their practical application. In this study, 3-isocyanatopropyltrimethoxysilane (PTTS-NCO) is introduced as the electrolyte additive, which can effectively scavenge the harmful acidic species in the electrolyte and form a protective surface layer at the electrode/electrolyte interface, thereby enhancing the electrochemical performance of the battery (NCM90/Li). Specifically, the most effective battery based on the PTTS-NCO additive can maintain 70.3% of its capacity after 500 cycles at 30 °C. Even under a high cathode loading (3.0 mAh cm −2 ), it can retain 86.2% of its capacity after 300 cycles, far exceeding the base battery. Furthermore, it exhibits good performance under the harsh high-temperature environment, maintaining over 70.3% capacity retention in the NCM90/Li battery up to 350 cycles at 60 °C. This work demonstrates the great potential of multifunctional siloxane additive in lithium batteries based on ultrahigh-nickel cathode.

CoFe@C was first prepared by calcining the precursor of CoFe-metal–organic framework-74 (CoFe-MOF-74), then an electrochemical sensor for the determination of neohesperidin dihydrochalcone (NHDC) was constructed, which was stemmed from the novel CoFe@C/Nafion composite film modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE). The CoFe@C/Nafion composite was verified by field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) was used to evaluate its electrical properties as a modified material for an electrochemical sensor. Compared with CoFe-MOF-74 precursor modified electrode, CoFe@C/Nafion electrode exhibited a great synergic catalytic effect and extremely increased the oxidation peak signal of NHDC. The effects of various experimental conditions on the oxidation of NHDC were investigated and the calibration plot was tested. The results bespoken that CoFe@C/Nafion GCE has good reproducibility and anti-interference under the optimal experimental conditions. In addition, the differential pulse current response of NHDC was linear with its concentration within the range 0.08 ~ 20 µmol/L, and the linear regression coefficient was 0.9957. The detection limit was as low as 14.2 nmol/L (S/N = 3). In order to further verify the feasibility of the method, it was successfully used to determine the content of NHDC in Chinese medicine, with a satisfactory result, good in accordance with that of high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).

NiO-based materials hold great promise as oxygen evolution reaction (OER) catalysts owing to their high intrinsic OER activity and good chemical stability. Herein, Ni/NiO/C hollow microspheres with high activity were successfully fabricated through a facile one-step mist chemical vapor deposition (mist-CVD) process using ethanolamine and nickel chloride as precursors. The high-temperature pyrolysis of the organic precursor yields a significant quantity of gas, leading to a rapid increase in pressure within the droplet, which prompts the nanoparticles to aggregate on the surface of the droplet and form a hollow structure. The crystal phase and morphology of the samples can be modulated through optimizing the decomposition temperature, and particularly, Ni/NiO/C porous hollow microspheres synthesized at 600 °C (Ni-600) presented the best OER activity, exhibiting an overpotential at 10 mA cm−2 (η10) of 286.4 mV and a Tafel slope of 54.8 mV dec−1. The outstanding OER electrocatalytic performance of Ni/NiO/C hollow microspheres is ascribed to the improved electronic conductivity facilitated by the existence of metallic Ni and amorphous C, coupled with the relatively large specific surface area derived from the unique hollow structure.

The rapid advancement of wireless communications, radar systems, and electronic devices has resulted in a substantial increase in electromagnetic interference (EMI), which poses a threat to electronic device performance and human health. This study addresses the urgent need for lightweight materials with strong absorption capacities, wide absorption bandwidths, and low thickness values. For this purpose, ZIF-67-derived C/Co nanofibers were synthesized via electrospinning, dipping, and high-temperature carbonization. Co 2+ ions were pre-anchored and encapsulated in polyacrylonitrile (PAN) fibers and are grown by immersion in an organic ligand. Utilizing 0.4 g of cobalt nitrate hexahydrate, the amount of encapsulated Co 2+ was optimized to provide the greatest electromagnetic wave absorption performance. Under these conditions, the reflection loss was −49.45 dB, and the maximum effective absorption bandwidth was 6.48 GHz, thereby covering the entire Ku band. The composite material demonstrated a significant improvement in impedance matching and electromagnetic wave dissipation, which was attributed to the uniform dispersion of Co particles and the formation of multi-component heterogeneous interfaces. This study presents a pragmatic method for creating high-performance materials that could potentially reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI) in the aerospace, telecommunications, and defense sectors.

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) such as 7, 12-dimethylbenzneanthracene (DMBA), due to long-term bioaccumulation cause serious physiological processes and behavioral dysfunctions such as cancer, ageing, and hypertension. Silk sericin (SS) is instrumental in cancer applications due to presence of flavonoids and carotenoids which are natural pigments, present in the layer of sericin that has antioxidant and antityrosinase activity. It reduces oxidative stress and suppresses cancer cytokines while interacting with reactive oxygen species (ROS) to stand against lipid peroxidation. Recent research was focused to calculate the pharmacological intervention of sericin-conjugated silver nanoparticles (S-AgNO3 NPs) against DMBA-induced toxicity. For this purpose, SS protein was extracted from silkworm cocoons by degumming process and the prepared S-AgNO3 NPs via a green synthesis. In female albino mice, a total of 50 mg/kg oral administration of DMBA was used for the induction of toxicity which required almost 8 to 10 weeks approximately. After 60 days of experimentation, mice were dissected, blood samples were collected for further hematological and biochemical analysis and were euthanized via cervical dislocation. There was a significant rise in the level of red blood cells, platelets, lymphocytes, and hemoglobin at the highest applied concentration of sericin and its nanoparticles. Similarly, a reasonable decline was observed in the level of white blood cells, neutrophils, eosinophils, and monocytes as compared to the cancer-inducing group. The level of glutathione, lactate dehydrogenase, and alkaline phosphatase as well as immunoglobulins such as immunoglobulin A (IgA), immunoglobulin G (IgG), and immunoglobulin M (IgM) were significantly reduced in all treatment groups as compared to the DMBA-induced group. Substantial effects were demonstrated in response to S-AgNO3 NPs II (T) at the highest concentrations (200 mg/kg, BW) as follows: glutathione (2.42 ± 0.26 μmol/L), lactate dehydrogenase (493.6 ± 5.78 U/L), alkaline phosphatase (158.4 ± 6.35 U/L), IgA (4.22 ± 0.19 g/L), IgG (70 ± 1.70 g/L), and IgM (4.76 ± 0.12). The histopathological study of the liver, kidneys, and brain revealed that the DMBA-induced group showed cytotoxic effects against all selected organs of mice that were recovered by treatment of selective compounds but highly effective recovery was seen in S-AgNO3 NPs II (T). These results concluded that silk S-AgNO3 NPs showed significant pharmacological potential against cancer-inducing toxicity.

Developing biomass-based triboelectric films with excellent robust and superior tough is crucial for realizing next-generation green, sustainable and flexible wearable sensors. However, simultaneously achieving highly robust and superior tough in biomass-based triboelectric films remains a significant challenge. In this study, inspired by natural creatures, particularly spider silk, based on the structural properties of catechol lignin (C-lignin, CL) and the synergistic effects of nano-confinement and solvent-induced, the robust and tough recyclable C-lignin-based triboelectric films (CNT/CL/PVA film, CCLPF) with a multi-scale reinforcement network was successfully constructed. The prepared lignin-based films exhibited high tensile strength (43.1 MPa, 816%), excellent fracture toughness (512.3 MJ m −3 ), outstanding energy dissipation efficiency (94.9%), superior antibacterial properties, significant antioxidant capacity, and stable triboelectric output performance (245.1 V and 7500 cycles). Notably, a self-powered sensor array is also designed that could accurately perceive pressure distribution changes of different objects, thereby meeting diverse application demands and ultimately providing important technical pathways for the development of wearable devices and human-machine interaction systems. In summary, this study not only offers a novel solution to the conflict between robust and tough in biomass-based triboelectric films but also opens new avenues for the extensive application of lignin resources in flexible electronics and self-powered sensing technologies.

Fe- and nitrogen-doped carbonaceous (Fe-N-C) sites supported on MnO 2 (Fe-N-C@MnO 2 ) were prepared by a solvent-free mechanochemical method for peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation to degrade norfloxacin (NFX). After a 50-min ball milling of iron(II) phthalocyanine (Fe( II )Pc) and MnO 2 at a weight ratio of 7.5 %, the obtained Fe-N-C@MnO 2 exhibited exceptional activity in PMS activation, achieving nearly complete degradation of NFX in 5 min with a rate constant of 0.62 min −1 . This rate constant was 11.5 and 28.2 times higher than that for milled MnO 2 (bm-MnO 2 ) and the mixture of Fe( II )Pc and MnO 2 , respectively. Alternative iron sources (FeSO 4 , FeCl 2 , Fe(III)-EDTA) and phthalocyanine showed no enhancement. Characterization revealed Fe-N-C@MnO 2 possessed abundant Mn 3+ , oxygen vacancies and Fe-N-C sites. Combined experimental and computational studies demonstrated Fe-N-C@MnO 2 simultaneously enhanced the 1 O 2 generation and facilitated the formation of SO 4 •− , •OH and O 2 •− , with contributions to NFX degradation following: 1 O 2 > •OH ≈ O 2 •− > SO 4 •− . This work establishes mechanochemical coordination engineering as a facile strategy for constructing high-performance metal-N-C hybrid catalysts.

Water-in-salt and organic solvent-additive strategies have significantly improved the electrochemical stability window of aqueous electrolyte , while it still faces poor low-temperature thermodynamics stability and unsatisfied transport kinetics, as well as flammability risks caused by organic solvent . Herein we report a novel “cation-water-urea ternary interaction strategy” via environmental-friendly and non-flammable urea (CO(NH 2 ) 2 ) to solve the above dilemma. The cation-water-urea ternary interaction strategy preferentially develops CO(NH 2 ) 2 -cation solvation structures for weakened cation-anion associations, improved anti-salt-precipitation capability, and thus enhanced ionic conductivity , meanwhile it improves the low-temperature thermodynamics stability via the stronger CO(NH 2 ) 2 -water hydrogen-bond interactions to suppress the freezing and electrolysis of water. The optimum ternary aqueous electrolyte exhibits an ultralow freezing point (−70 °C), wide electrochemical stability window (2.9 V) and outstanding ionic conductivity (135 mS cm −1 @25 °C and 5.3 mS cm −1 @−50 °C), demonstrating superior performance compared to traditional organic solvent-additive and water-in-salt electrolytes. Finally, to demonstrate its potential for practical applications, ternary aqueous electrolyte-based supercapacitors are fabricated using commercial activated carbon electrodes, which exhibit outstanding capacitance retention (71.4 %) and much lower ion transport resistance even at ultralow temperature of −40 °C. This work proposes a novel ternary aqueous electrolyte with improved thermodynamics stability and kinetics for safe, low-temperature energy storage applications.

During the piezoelectric photocatalytic process, the surface curvature of the piezoelectric photocatalyst undergoes dynamic changes under the influence of external mechanical forces. However, the correlation between the surface curvature and catalytic performance remains largely unexplored. Here, we demonstrate that decreasing the radius of curvature of MoSe2 significantly enhances its piezoelectric-photocatalytic activity for C–N coupling reactions, enabling imine synthesis from benzylamine. Comprehensive characterization and DFT calculations together show that the piezoelectric effect in the curved MoSe2 structure inhibits photogenerated charge carriers from recombination, improving carrier utilization efficiency. Additionally, the surface curvature effect induced by ultrasonic driving reduces the band gap. It promotes the effective transfer of electrons from Mo atoms in MoSe2 to −NH2 in benzylamine, thereby facilitating the activation of the benzylamine molecule. As a result, the synergistic effects of the piezoelectric and curvature characteristics significantly enhance the photocatalytic performance of MoSe2 toward the C–N coupling of benzylamine. This study not only provides new insights into interfacial reaction mechanisms in piezoelectric photocatalysis but also offers a novel perspective for designing high-performance catalytic systems.
