Despite of their inexpensive and sustainable characteristics, practical application of Mg-Na hybrid batteries are limited due to the lack of high performance dual-ion compatible cathode materials. This is mainly due to the increased size of Na-ions and improved electrostatic repulsion resulting from the high charge density of Mg-ions. Herein, we report for the first time a fast charging and ultralong-life Mg-Na hybrid battery based on an extremely pseudocapacitive hierarchical bronze TiO 2 (TiO 2 -B) nanosheet cathode. This two dimensional cathode exhibited outstanding pseudocapacitance (up to 94%), specific capacities (195 mAh/g @ 25 mA/g), rate performance (140 mAh/g @ 1A/g), cycling stability (∼76% after 6000 cycles @ 1A/g), coulombic efficiency (∼100%) and fast-charging (∼8 min). These performances are vastly superior to the previously reported metal oxide type Mg-Na hybrid battery cathodes. Mechanistic investigations revealed Mg-Na dual-ion intercalation pseudocapacitance with no significant structural changes. Exceptional electrochemical performance of the TiO 2 -B nanosheet cathode is credited to the dominant pseudocapacitive Mg-Na dual-ion diffusion through the nanointerfaces resulting from the hierarchical microstructure of TiO 2 -B nanosheets. High surface area, ultrathin nature and mesoporous structure are also contributed as secondary factors by facilitating superior contact with the electrolyte solution. The demonstrated method of nanointerfaces induced pseudocapacitive Mg-Na dual-ion intercalation provides new opportunities for the development of high-performance Mg-Na hybrid batteries.

Graphical One electrode fits all : The polyanionic organic compound 9,10-anthraquinone-2,6-disulfonate is used as a common cathode and metallic bismuth as a common anode to simultaneously assemble low-cost Na-ion and K-ion full cells. The Na-ion full cells deliver a peak discharge capacity of 139 mAh g −1 and the K-ion full cells can show a peak discharge capacity of 130 mAh g −1 at 0.5–3.0 V. Molecule-aggregation organic electrodes in principle have the capability for “single-molecule-energy-storage” in metal-ion rechargeable batteries, which indicates that the same organic electrode can be simultaneously applied to multiple metal-ion rechargeable batteries. In this study, the polyanionic organic compound 9,10-anthraquinone-2,6-disulfonate (Na 2 AQ26DS, 130 mAh g −1 ) is used as a common cathode and metal bismuth (Bi) as a common anode to simultaneously assemble low-cost Na-ion and K-ion full cells. The Na-ion full cells can deliver the peak discharge capacity of 139 mAh g −1 cathode at 0.5–3.0 V, and the K-ion full cells can show the peak discharge capacity of 130 mAh g −1 cathode at 0.5–3.0 V. These results are comparable to the best organic-based Na-ion and K-ion full cells reported to date.

Na2Fe0.6Mn0.4PO4F/C composite materials are synthesized with various carbon sources via a simple spray-drying method in this study, and the effect of carbon sources on structure, morphology, and electrochemical properties of Na2Fe0.6Mn0.4PO4F/C materials are investigated in detail. XRD and SEM results indicate that the reduction ability of carbon sources has a key impact on the structure and morphology of Na2Fe0.6Mn0.4PO4F/C composite materials. Among these Na2Fe0.6Mn0.4PO4F/C materials, the sample prepared with ascorbic acid presents a uniform hollow spherical architecture. Electrochemical analysis demonstrates that the Na2Fe0.6Mn0.4PO4F/C sample prepared with ascorbic acid has optimal electrochemical performance. The sample shows high discharge capacities of 95.1 and 48.1 mAh g−1 at 0.05C and 1C rates, respectively, and it exhibits an improved cycle stability (91.7% retention after 100 cycles at 0.5C), which are superior to Na2Fe0.6Mn0.4PO4F/C materials prepared with other carbon sources. This study demonstrates that the reduction ability of carbon sources significantly influences the electrochemical properties of fluorophosphate/C composite materials. This work also provides a promising strategy to obtain high performance cathode materials for sodium-ion batteries.

Flexible humidity sensors with excellent flexibility and sensitivity have been widely used in various fields such as human and plant health monitoring and management, non-contact human-machine interaction, smart e-textiles, and industrial and agricultural production. However, many sensors are limited their application due to the problems of unbreathable and poor wear comfort. Herein, a highly sensitive humidity sensor based on flexible polyester fabric with directional moisture transport is proposed. The facile method of coating is conducted by the preparation of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene): poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) and sodium carboxymethylcellulose (CMC-Na) paste with adjustable content and applied to the polyester fabric. The difference of hydrophilicity between the two sides of the fabric caused by the coating helps to directional moisture transport, thus giving rapid sensitivity, while using PEDOT: PSS can obtain the changes of electrical conductivity coming from the humidity. and the addition of CMC-Na not only helps the coating, but also provides hydrophilic groups, which is conducive to humidity sensing and directional moisture transport. The combination of this moisture-sensitive coating and directional moisture transport gives the sensor a fast humidity response time of 0.35 s, a wide humidity detection range (0‐100%(0–100% RH) and sensitivity of 4.15. Furthermore, the sensor can maintain the humidity response time in milliseconds even after being subjected to water washing and friction, indicating its excellent durability and stability.

To improve the efficiency of aerobic digestion, this investigation utilized the synergistic effect of lysozyme-producing strain YH14 and surfactant-producing strain ZXY4 to promote sludge hydrolysis, and added NaCl to enhance this promoting effect. The best performance in promoting sludge hydrolysis was achieved when the inoculum of functional bacteria was 12 % (inoculum ratio of strain YH14: strain ZXY4 = 1:3) and the dosage of NaCl was 5 g L -1 , which caused an increase of 19.25 % in the SS removal rate and 2588.21 mg L -1 in the SCOD release, as compared with the control. Fluorescence region integral analysis shows that the synergy of two functional bacteria and NaCl can enhance the biodegradability of sludge. Protein secondary structure analysis shows that strain ZXY4 and Na + cause the EPS structure to loosen, increasing the chances of lysozyme lysis of bacteria. Nucleotide metabolism, metabolism of other amino acids and membrane transport enhanced in a co-processing system.

Room-temperature sodium-sulfur (RT Na-S) batteries have been attracting enormous interests due to their low-cost, high capacity and environmental benignity. However, the shuttle effect and the sluggish electrochemical reaction activity of sodium polysulfides (NaPSs) seriously restrict their practical application. To solve these issues, we rationally designed an advanced Sn-doped In 2 S 3 /S/C cathode for RT Na-S batteries by magnetron sputtering in this work, which exhibited a high reversible capacity (1663.5 mAh g −1 at 0.1 A g −1 ) and excellent cycling performance (902.9 mAh g −1 after 50 cycles). The in situ electrochemical impedance spectroscopy indicated that the Sn-doped In 2 S 3 coating can accelerate charge-transfer kinetics and facilitate the diffusion of Na + . Furthermore, theoretical calculation revealed that doping of Sn into In 2 S 3 can reduce the energy band gap, thus accelerating the electron transfer and promoting the electrochemical conversion of active species. It is demonstrated that adjusting the electronic structure is a reliable method to improve the electrocatalytic effect of catalyst and significantly improve the performance of S cathode in RT Na-S batteries.

The stable energy barrier of mucin and soy hull polysaccharide (SHP) is established at the air/water interface in the intestinal fluid and is conducive to the absorption and transportation of nutrients. This study aimed to investigate the effect of different concentrations (0.5 % and 1.5 %) of Na + and K + on the energy barrier through the digestive system model in vitro . The interaction between ions and microwave-assisted ammonium oxalate-extracted SP (MASP)/mucus was characterized by particle size, zeta potential, interfacial tension, surface hydrophobicity, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, endogenous fluorescence spectroscopy, microstructure, and shear rheology. The results showed that the interactions between ions and MASP/mucus included electrostatic interaction, hydrophobic interaction, and hydrogen bond. The MASP/mucus miscible system was destabilized after 12 h, and the ions could improve the system stability to some extent. MASP aggregated continuously with the increase in the ion concentration, and large MASP aggregates were trapped above the mucus layer. Furthermore, the adsorption of MASP/mucus at the interface increased and then decreased. These findings provided a theoretical basis for an in-depth understanding of the mechanism of action of MASP in the intestine.

After proper optimizations, PVK can deliver average discharge capacities of ~110 mAh g −1 for 100 cycles under a low current density (50 mA g −1 ) and ~62 mAh g −1 for 900 cycles under a high current density (0.5 A g −1 ) using 1 M NaPF 6 in ethylene carbonate (EC) and diethyl carbonate (DEC).

The major hurdle of room temperature sodium-ion batteries (NIBs) for large-scale energy storage applications lies in developing new electrode materials with higher energy/power densities and improved durability. This work presents a novel Na-P3/Li 2 MnO 3 layered composite cathode with an alternating heteroepitaxial nanostructure fabricated by an in-situ composition modulation route. XRD structural refinement, synchrotron XAS and aberration-corrected HAADF-/ABF-STEM were employed to understand the structure evolution accompanying Li substitution. It is revealed that the in-situ formation of Li 2 MnO 3 (Li-O’3) changes the crystallographic and chemical features of the neighboring Na-P3 layered matrix significantly and leads to the alternating Na-P3/Li-O’3 heteroepitaxial nanostructure. This alternating heteroepitaxial nanostructure delivers an extremely high reversible capacity of ~ 210 mAh g −1 between 1.5 and 4.5 V vs. Na/Na + , much improved cycling stability and excellent electrode kinetics . Its enhanced electrochemical performance can be ascribed to the effective suppression of the P3-P3’’ phase transition and subsequent amorphization upon cycling to 4.5 V.

Porous hydroxyapatite (HAp) composite fibers functionalized with up-conversion (UC) luminescent and magnetic Na(Y/Gd)F4:Yb3+,Er3+ nanocrystals (NCs) have been fabricated via electrospinning. After transferring hydrophobic oleic acid-capped Na(Y/Gd)F4:Yb3+,Er3+ NCs into aqueous solution, these water-dispersible NCs were dispersed into precursor electrospun solution containing CTAB. Na(Y/Gd)F4:Yb3+,Er3+@HAp composite fibers were fabricated by the high temperature treatment of the electrospun Na(Y/Gd)F4:Yb3+,Er3+ NCs decorated precursor fibers. The biocompatibility test on MC 3T3-E1 cells using MTT assay shows that the HAp composite fibers have negligible cytotoxity, which reveals the HAp composite fibers could be a drug carrier for drug delivery. Because the contrast brightening is enhanced at increased concentrations of Gd3+, the HAp composite fibers can serve as T1 magnetic resonance imaging contrast agents. In addition, the composites uptaken by MC 3T3-E1 cells present the UC luminescent emission of Er3+ under the excitation of a 980 nm near-infrared laser. The above findings reveal Na(Y/Gd)F4:Yb3+,Er3+@HAp composite fibers have potential applications in drug storage/release and magnetic resonance/UC luminescence imaging.

As part of a series of studies, effects of Na + substitution on the thermal evolution of cesium-based geopolymers on heating were studied. A series of sodium-substituted cesium-based geopolymers, Cs (1− x ) Na x GPs (where x =0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, and 0.4), were prepared and treated at 1300°C for 2 hours to obtain the corresponding ceramic products. The thermal evolution process was disclosed by virtue of a variety of technical, including TG-DTA, thermal shrinkage, XRD analysis, SEM, and TEM investigation. The results indicated that unheated Cs (1− x ) Na x GPs was not completely amorphous after the substitution of Na + and the crystallinity of Cs (1− x ) Na x GPs gradually increased with the rise of sodium content. Meanwhile, the average particle sizes of Cs (1− x ) Na x GPs also increased evidently with increases in sodium substitution. The final product after heat treatment mainly consisted of pollucite (CsAlSi 2 O 6 ) and amorphous glass phase. The particle size of pollucite grain gradually decreased as more Cs + were replaced maybe owing to the role of Na + in the nucleation process of pollucite. Two forms of Na + present in the final products: A small portion was present in the pollucite grains due to Na + partial occupied the crystallographic sites of Cs + ; and the rest were present in the amorphous glass phase among the pollucite grains. The average coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) of resulting Cs (1− x ) Na x GPs ceramics increased from 4.80×10 -6 K −1 ( x =0) to 7.26×10 −6 K −1 ( x =0.4) with increases in sodium substitution, which could be due to the amorphous glass phase had a relatively higher CTE than that of pollucite.
