Surface functionalization is one effective strategy for optimizing the stability of Li 1.3 Al 0.3 Ti 1.7 (PO 4 ) 3 (LATP) with Li metal anodes and the compatibility between the components of an electrolyte for lithium battery. Herein, a bifunctional modification layer induced by the silane coupling agent (SCA) and ionic liquid (IL) are successfully introduced onto the surface of LATP particles (defined as [email protected] ) through chemical grafting and ion exchange strategies. Benefitting from the synergistic effect between the protection of modification layer and the effectively reduced interaction of PEO chain segments with Li + , the compatibility of LATP with the Li metal anode is improved, and the dispersion of LATP in PEO matrix is enhanced, a faster Li + transfer is thereby enabled. As a result, thus-prepared [email protected] composite polymer electrolyte (CPE) shows an excellent electrochemical property with high ionic conductivity (1.455 × 10 −3 S cm −1 at 60 °C), enhanced Li-ion transference number (0.40), wide electrochemical stability window (4.76 V vs. Li + /Li) and favorable Li metal compatibility (over 1200 h). Furthermore, separately assembled Li/ [email protected] CPE/LFP coin full cells and pouch cells verify the operational feasibility under extreme conditions. This work paves a new way to protect LATP and promote its practical application in all-solid-state lithium batteries.

Developing high-voltage cathode materials is critical for sodium-ion batteries to boost energy density. NASICON (Na super-ionic conductor)-structured Na x MnM(PO 4 ) 3 materials (M represents transition metal) have drawn increasing attention due to their features of robust crystal framework, low cost, as well as high voltage based on Mn 4+ /Mn 3+ and Mn 3+ /Mn 2+ redox couples. However, full activation of Mn 4+ /Mn 3+ redox couple within NASICON framework is still a great challenge. Herein, a novel NASICON-type Na 4 MnCr(PO 4 ) 3 material with highly reversible Mn 4+ /Mn 3+ redox reaction is discovered. It proceeds a two-step reaction with voltage platforms centered at 4.15 and 3.52 V versus Na + /Na, delivering a capacity of 108.4 mA h g −1 . The Na 4 MnCr(PO 4 ) 3 cathode also exhibits long durability over 500 cycles and impressive rate capability up to 10 C. The galvanostatic intermittent titration technique (GITT) test shows fast Na diffusivity which is further verified by density functional theory calculations. The high electrochemical activity derives from the 3D robust framework structure, fast kinetics, and pseudocapacitive contribution. The sodium storage mechanism of the Na 4 MnCr(PO 4 ) 3 cathode is deeply studied by ex situ X-ray diffraction (XRD) and ex situ X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), revealing that both solid-solution and two-phase reactions are involved in the Na + ions extraction/insertion process.

Na 3 V 2 (PO 4 ) 3 has received a lot of attention as a prospective cathode for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) owing to its strong 3D wide-open architecture for Na + transport. However, the practical application is still hampered by its poor electronic conductivity and weak Na + diffusion kinetics . In this paper, a novel Mg 2+ -doped Na 3 V 2 (PO 4 ) 3 flower-like cathode (Na 3+x V 2-x Mg x (PO 4 ) 3 /C, x = 0, 0.02, 0.04, 0.06) with abundant mesoporous has been synthesized by a convenient template-assisted sol-gel method. Mg 2+ doping successfully triggers V 4+ /V 5+ reversible redox with improved voltage plateau and reversible capacity. The hierarchical mesoporous structure combined with carbon layers is beneficial to the fast transport of Na + and e − , which guarantee improved kinetic properties and enhanced conductivity. Attributed to these competitive advantages, significantly improved electrochemical properties of Na 3.04 V 1.96 Mg 0.04 (PO 4 ) 3 /C (NVMP-4) are acquired, including extremely high specific capacity (123.8 mAh g −1 at 1C), excellent rate performance (73.8 mAh·g −1 at 100C) and exceptionally stable energy output with 89.1 % capacity retention after 3000 cycles at 20C. Additionally, when assembled with a hard carbon anode (HC), NVMP-4||HC provides an exceptional energy density of 216.9 Wh kg −1 at 0.2C. By enhancing nanostructure and rational surface engineering, this project offers fresh perspectives for creating superior electrodes, increasing the energy density of SIBs.

Food safety caused by microbial contamination is an important problem that is difficult to solve for the food industry. In this study, the effective antibacterial hydrogel from electrospinning nanofibers prepared using gelatin, chitosan, and 3-phenyllactic acid (PLA) after water absorption was used to improve the antibacterial performance and prolong the shelf life of chilled chicken meat. The structure, water-absorbing ability, antibacterial ability, and fresh-keeping ability of this hydrogel were characterized. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy showed that the carboxyl group in PLA reacted with the amino group in chitosan, which formed amide bond under acidic conditions. This bond enhanced the water absorption and stability of the hydrogel. Low-field nuclear magnetic resonance showed that the addition of PLA not only changed the structure of hydrogels but also changed the ratio of different states of water in the hydrogels. The swelling ratio of GCP-1 hydrogel was two times larger than that of GCP-0 hydrogel, and scanning electron micrographs showed that the GCP-1 hydrogel after water absorption had a unique spongy shape. Furthermore, the GCP-1 hydrogel effectively inactivated foodborne pathogens Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli and prolonged the preservation of chilled chicken to 4 days. This study provides an innovative way to apply electrospinning nanofibers in food packaging.

The weak interaction between the basalt fiber (BF) and acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber (NBR) weakens the BFs' effects on improving the tribological performances of the NBR composites. To solve this problem, (3-aminopropyl)triethoxysilane (APTES) was introduced via mixing into the matrix or grafting on the BF surface, respectively. The characteristics, mechanical, and tribological properties of the composites were evaluated, and the effects of the APTES and its introduction methods on the tribological properties were the main focus. The APTES mixed in the rubber matrix decreased the friction coefficient (COF) of the NBR-based composites under both dry friction and water-lubricated conditions. Especially, the APTES hydrolysis under water-lubricated condition was conducive to the formation of the water film and thus dramatically decreased the COF. The COF of the BF0-A3 and the BF12-A3 were 51% and 30% lower than that of the BF0-A0 and the BF12-A0 under water lubrication, respectively. The APTES grafted on the BF surface increased the wear resistance of the BF/NBR composites attributed to the improvement of the interaction between the BFs and the NBR matrix. © 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

To obtain the basic data for the recovery of 1-methylimidazole from wastewater by extraction, the ternary liquid–liquid phase equilibrium data of the water (1) + 1-methylimidazole (2) + 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate ([Bmim][PF6]) (3) system were determined using an equilibrium autoclave at the temperatures of 303.15 to 323.15 K and 101.32 kPa. The solute distribution coefficient (D) and the selectivity (S) of the ternary system were calculated in accordance with the experimental data. Their values were up to 1.39 and 41.17, respectively, which showed that the ionic liquid can extract 1-methylimidazole effectively. The experimental results showed that the temperature had a slight effect on the liquid–liquid equilibrium behavior. Meanwhile, the calculated results revealed that the selectivity coefficient decreased with the enhancing concentration of 1-methylimidazole in the ternary system and the increasing temperature. In addition, the nonrandom two liquid (NRTL) model was used for correlation of the ternary systems. The root-mean-square deviation value of 0.0218 indicated that the calculated results using the model were in good agreement with the experimental data and were reliable to apply to practice.

Deep-ultraviolet (deep-UV) nonlinear optical (NLO) phosphates have become a continuing hot spot since the discovery of Ba3P3O10X. Herein, we report two new deep-UV NLO phosphates, KZn(PO3)3 and RbZn(PO3)3, crystallizing in the asymmetric R3 (No. 146) space group with a three-dimensional (3D) network constructed by [PO3]∞ chains and distorted C3v [ZnO6] octahedra. Both compounds exhibit phase-matchable behaviors with relatively strong powder SHG intensities (about 0.6× and 0.7× those of the benchmark KDP) and short deep-UV cutoff edges (<200 nm). First-principles calculations reveal the synergy of the distorted [ZnO6] octahedron and the flexible [PO3]∞ chain that contribute respectively to the d16 value by 14 and 84% in KZn(PO3)3 or 6 and 93% in RbZn(PO3)3. Remarkably, the SHG-active [ZnO6] herein is pointed out for the first time, which offers an unconventional access to the design and searches for deep-UV NLO material candidates.

<001> oriented x Bi(Mg 1/2 Ti 1/2 )O 3 -(0.7- x )Pb(Mg 1/3 Nb 2/3 )O 3 -0.3PbTiO 3 (BMT-PMN-PT) textured ceramics are successfully fabricated by the template grain growth method using BaTiO 3 platelets as template. BMT-PMN-PT textured ceramics with different BMT contents are studied in terms of crystal structure, microstructures, dielectric and ferroelectric properties, and electric field induced strain. The as-fabricated BMT-PMN-PT textured ceramics were found to have a strong orientation along <001> direction. The frequency dispersion of dielectric constant of BMT-PMN-PT textured ceramics increases gradually and its relaxability becomes stronger with increasing BMT content. A large electric-field induced strain (0.42 % at 4 kV/mm) is obtained in 0.25BMT-0.45PMN-0.3PT textured ceramics with Lotgering factor 0.94, which is about 83 % enhancement than that of the randomly oriented ceramics (0.23 % at 4 kV/mm). The strain of 0.25BMT-0.45PMN-0.3PT textured ceramics have a relatively high thermal stability, with a slight decrease from 0.42 % to 0.28 % in the temperature range of 20−100 °C. Our research suggests that 0.25BMT-0.45PMN-0.3PT textured ceramics have a greatly potential for actuator devices applications owing to its advantages of large electric field induced strain response.

Gel polymer electrolyte (GPE) based on octa(3-chloropropyl)-polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (OCP-POSS)-modified polyvinylidene fluoride/poly(acrylonitrile) /poly(methylmethacrylate) (PVDF/PAN/PMMA) fibrous membrane was prepared by electrospinning method to improve the thermal stability of GPE and prevent the leakage of liquid electrolyte for lithium ion battery. The effect of OCP-POSS content on the morphology, porosity and electrolyte uptake, mechanical strength, thermal stability of spinning fibrous membrane and ionic conductivity, electrochemical stability window, and interface resistance of GPE was investigated. The cycle performance of cells assembled with GPE was also tested. The results show that the spinning fibrous membrane with 10 wt% OCP-POSS possesses high electrolyte uptake (660%) and excellent thermal stability. The ionic conductivity of corresponding GPE is 9.23 × 10 −3 S cm −1 at room temperature and the electrochemical stability window is up to 5.82 V; the interface resistance of 10 wt% OCP-POSS modified GPE decreases by 42% after 168 h compared with pure PVDF/PAN/PMMA GPE. Furthermore, cells assembled with 10 wt% OCP-POSS modified GPE show high discharge capacity (166.5 mA h g −1 at 0.1 C) and excellent cycle stability during 50 cycles. The results indicate that the GPE could improve the safety of lithium ion battery and show great potential in lithium ion battery applications.

The development of Lithium‑sulfur batteries (LSBs) is considerably limited by the shuttle effect and slow redox kinetics, which result in low cycle stability and decreased energy density. To enhance the energy density and accelerate the reaction kinetics of LSBs, a heterostructure consisting of FeP/Fe(PO 3 ) 3 nanoparticles was anchored on three-dimensional hierarchical porous carbon nanosheets using a simple soaking and carbonization method. This FeP/Fe(PO 3 ) 3 heterojunction, featuring an intrinsic built-in electric field (BIEF) effect and sulphiphilic characteristics, exhibited high catalytic efficiency in trapping lithium-polysulfides (LiPSs), regulated the nucleation of Li 2 S, and accelerated oxidation conversion reactions. The 3D porous hierarchical carbon nanosheets, derived from corn stalks, provide a large surface area and numerous pores, which effectively accommodate the considerable volume expansion of S 8 and Li 2 S during the electrochemical reactions, while also offering a conductive network to facilitate electron and Li + ion transport. As expected, the PCS/FeP/Fe(PO 3 ) 3 @S cathode demonstrated excellent electrochemical performance, delivering a discharge capacity of 663.8 mAh g −1 at a current rate of 5.0C. Additionally, the constructed Li S pouch cell achieved a high areal capacity of 11.0 mAh cm −2 and maintained an energy density of 450 Wh kg −1 with a sulfur mass loading of 9.0 mg cm −2 . This work provides a novel approach to developing stable, high-energy-density LSBs for practical energy storage applications.

Indole‑3‑propionic acid (IPA), a product of Clostridium sporogenes metabolism, has been shown to improve intestinal barrier function. In the present study, in vitro experiments using NCM460 human colonic epithelial cells were performed to investigate how IPA alleviates lipopolysaccharide (LPS)‑induced intestinal epithelial cell injury, with the aim of improving intestinal barrier function. In addition, the underlying mechanism was explored. NCM460 cell viability and apoptosis were measured using the Cell Counting Kit‑8 assay and flow cytometry, respectively. The integrity of the intestinal epithelial barrier was evaluated by measuring transepithelial electrical resistance (TEER). The underlying molecular mechanism was explored using western blotting, immunofluorescence staining, a dual luciferase reporter gene assay and quantitative PCR. The results showed that 10 µg/ml LPS induced the most prominent decrease in cell viability after 24 h of treatment. By contrast, IPA effectively inhibited LPS‑induced apoptosis in the intestinal epithelial cells. Additionally, >0.5 mM IPA improved intestinal barrier function by increasing TEER and upregulating the expression of tight junction proteins (zonula occludens‑1, claudin‑1 and occludin). Furthermore, IPA inhibited the release of pro‑inflammatory cytokines (IL‑1β, IL‑6 and TNF‑α) in a dose‑dependent manner and this was achieved via regulation of the Toll‑like receptor 4 (TLR4)/myeloid differentiation factor 88/NF‑κB and TLR4/TRIF/NF‑κB pathways. In conclusion, IPA may alleviate LPS‑induced inflammatory injury in human colonic epithelial cells. Taken together, these results suggest that IPA may be a potential therapeutic approach for the management of diseases characterized by LPS‑induced intestinal epithelial cell injury and intestinal barrier dysfunction.

A novel material, sol–gel derived La(OH) 3 nanorods (La(OH) 3 NRs) with excellent film forming ability was prepared, and it was first designed to incorporate with carbon nanotubes (CNTs) to modify glassy carbon electrode (GCE) to simultaneously voltammetric determine ascorbic acid (AA), dopamine (DA), uric acid (UA), and nitrite (NO 2 − ). Cyclic voltammetry (CV), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and X-ray diffraction (XRD) were employed to characterize the sensor. Under optimal conditions, the linear response range for AA, DA, UA, and NO 2 − were 0.5 μmol L −1 to 1.46 mmol L −1 , 50 nmol L −1 to 35.36 μmol L −1 , 50 nmol L −1 to 0.79 mmol L −1 , and 0.55 μmol L −1 to 0.72 mmol L −1 , respectively and the detection limits were 1.67 μmol L −1 , 1.67 nmol L −1 , 1.67 nmol L −1 , and 0.18 μmol L −1 . The sensor demonstrated well stability, high selectivity and sensitivity. More importance, this material can be extended to construct other electrochemical sensors by the immobilization of enzymes and antibodies.
