Solid-state Li-O 2 batteries (SSLOBs) have been denoted as the holy grail in next-generation Li metal batteries for their high theoretical energy density , manipulation of ambient air to energy storage as well as high safety. However, the solid rigid interfaces both at the cathode and anode side introduce ultra-high resistances in the battery system and impede its operation under ambient temperature. Moreover, the high-reductive Li anode and semi-open cathode would cause severe side reactions during cycling which further degrade battery performance. To manage the above-mentioned issues, a rationally designed SSLOBs based on plastic crystal electrolyte is proposed in this study to enable SSLOBs operation at ambient temperature and in full charge-discharge mode. The brand-new Li-O 2 battery has been improved mainly from two aspects. First, we propose a polyacrylonitrile (PAN) modified succinonitrile (SN) electrolyte (PAN-SN) to retard the polymerization of SN and meanwhile suppress the degradation of Li ionic conductivity. Second, we propose an alternative mixed electron/ion complex conductor (MEIC) cathode to coordinate with plastic crystal electrolyte with an expanded Li-O 2 reactive zone and improved interfacial charge transfer during the charge-discharge process. The fabricated flexible SSLOBs based on PAN-SN electrolyte and MEIC cathode could be successfully fully charged-discharged (cutoff 2.0–4.5 V) for tens of cycles at ambient temperature under simulated air condition (20 vol% oxygen), with high-capacity retention of around 85 %.

Layered transition metal oxides have been broadly studied due to their great potential in application as cathodes for sodium-ion batteries. However, many single-phase layered transition metal oxides, especially those crystallized in P2- or O3-type structure, possess their individual characteristics incurring unsatisfactory overall performances with respect to the reversible capacity, rate capability, and cycling stability. Here, an effective strategy of constructing the P2/O3 biphasic structure is realized in layered cathode Na 0.7 Ni 0.4 Mn 0.4 Ti 0.2 O 2 through Ti substitution. Through high-resolution scanning transmission electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction, the formation of P2/O3 intergrowth structure was clarified and the proportion of the two phases was determined. Benefitting from the presence of intergrowth structure, the layered cathode provides a competitive rate capability of 100 mAh/g at a high rate of 5 C as well as a prominent cycling stability of 80.04% capacity retention after 300 cycles at 5 C. The improved performance is closely related to the highly reversible phase transition process from P2/O3 to OP4/P3 with less strain and enhanced Na + kinetics. These findings evidence that exploring novel multiphase cathodes is an effective approach to improve the electrochemical performances of cathode for sodium-ion batteries.

The synergistic nanotheranostics of reactive oxygen species (ROS) augment or phototherapy has been a promising method within synergistic oncotherapy. However, it is still hindered by sophisticated design and fabrication, lack of a multimodal synergistic effect, and hypoxia-associated poor photodynamic therapy (PDT) efficacy. Herein, a kind of porous shuttle-shape platinum (IV) methylene blue (Mb) coordination polymer nanotheranostics-loaded 10-hydroxycamptothecin (CPT) is fabricated to address the abovementioned limitations. Our nanoreactors possess spatiotemporally controlled O2 self-supply, self-sufficient singlet oxygen (1O2), and outstanding photothermal effect. Once they are taken up by tumor cells, nanoreactors as a cascade catalyst can efficiently catalyze degradation of the endogenous hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) into O2 to alleviate tumor hypoxia. The production of O2 can ensure enhanced PDT. Subsequently, under both stimuli of external red light irradiation and internal lysosomal acidity, nanoreactors can achieve the on-demand release of CPT to augment in situ mitochondrial ROS and highly efficient tumor ablation via phototherapy. Moreover, under the guidance of near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent imaging, our nanoreactors exhibit strongly synergistic potency for treatment of hypoxic tumors while reducing damages against normal tissues and organs. Collectively, shuttle-shape platinum-coordinated nanoreactors with augmented ROS capacity and enhanced phototherapy efficiency can be regarded as a novel tumor theranostic agent and further promote the research of synergistic oncotherapy.

Impaired wound healing in diabetes is closely associated with cellular ferroptosis. Microneedle-assisted gas therapy exerts molecular regulation of ferroptosis, representing a promising approach for accelerating diabetic wound healing. To date, O 2 and H 2 gas therapies have consistently been conducted independently and have never been integrated into a single system. Whether and how their synergy might be realized remains a defining challenge. Herein, we propose a concept of integrated O 2 and H 2 gas therapy, demonstrated by fabricating a gas-producing microneedle material. Platinum@MIL-101(Fe)-NH 2 @phosphotungstic acid (PMP) nanoparticles are synthesized as a visible light-driven photocatalyst for H 2 and O 2 co-evolution. The rational design of a spatially separated structure boosts their photocatalytic efficiency under physiological conditions. PMP nanoparticles are further incorporated with bilayer gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA)/PMP composite microneedles (denoted as GPM microneedles). The obtained GPM microneedles enable transdermal delivery of PMP nanoparticles for integrated O 2 and H 2 gas therapy, and demonstrate desirable biocompatibility and pro-regenerative effects. The mechanism of integrated O 2 and H 2 gas therapy has been identified as a TNFAIP3/hnRNPA1 ubiquitination/ferroptosis signaling axis, establishing for the first time a direct link to ferroptosis. In conclusion, this study yields a transformative concept and a ferroptosis-targeting microneedle material with well-defined molecular mechanism for diabetic wound management.

Elemental red phosphorus (RP) has an ultra-low activity of splitting water for H 2 and O 2 evolution. In this study, RP was decorated by trace amount of WO 3 to greatly enhance the photocarriers separation and photocatalytic activity for overall water splitting under visible light. The 2.5% WO 3 /RP composite achieved the highest activity to produce H 2 and O 2 , and the activity was 7.0 times that of pure RP under visible light (λ ≥ 420 nm). The significantly increased photocarriers separation of WO 3 /RP was ensured by transient photocurrent, electrochemical impendence, photoluminescence, and time-resolved photoluminescence characterizations. More importantly, WO 3 /RP maintained high stability when it was persistently used for 20 cycles. Based on the reactive oxygen species ( O 2 − and OH) detected during the photocatalytic process, an S-scheme mechanism was proposed for WO 3 /RP composites to efficiently separate the photocarriers. This work provides a notion for improving the overall water splitting activity of RP via an S-scheme photocarriers separation mode.

Salmonella typhimurium ( S. typhimurium ), as common and highly pathogenic foodborne pathogen, poses a significant risk to public safety worldwide. The development of highly sensitive, rapid and on-site method for S. typhimurium analysis is urgently needed to prevent bacterial infections. Herein, we introduced a CRISPR/Cas12a-driven electrochemiluminescence (ECL) sensor based on luminol/O 2 binary systems for S. typhimurium detection, employing ultrafine Pt nanoclusters-anchored 2D delaminated-MXenes (Pt NCs/D-MXenes) as the co-reactant accelerator. The ultrathin D-MXenes support regulates the size and dispersibility of Pt NCs and facilitates the full exposure of active sites, and synergistic interactions between D-MXenes and Pt NCs improves electrocatalytic properties toward the reduction of O 2 , which promotes the generation of ROS for boosting ECL emission. Using target responsive-regulated CRISPR/Cas12a system, the ECL sensor for S. typhimurium showed a broad concentration range from 10 1 to 10 6 CFU/mL and limit of detection of 6 CFU/mL, with satisfactory recoveries in spiked-actual samples.

As the production and consumption of electronic products increasingly rely on ternary lithium-ion batteries, the need for effective recycling and disposal methods for these batteries becomes crucial. This study introduces a novel, efficient co-pyrolysis method for recycling Li(Ni 1/3 Co 1/3 Mn 1/3 )O 2 (NCM) cathode materials from spent ternary lithium-ion batteries. Employing a 1.0:0.35 mass ratio of NCM: polyvinyl chloride (PVC) in an oxygen-free environment, high recovery rates of Li (91.3 %), Ni (93.5 %), Co (93.6 %), and Mn (94.5 %) metals are achieved. The NCM cathode materials begin to decompose at temperatures below 500℃ and are fully reduced and segregated into Ni-Co alloy, MnO, and Li 2 CO 3 at 550℃ in this process. Notably, the decomposition and reduction temperature of 550℃ is significantly lower than those reported in other studies. Moreover, the NCM cathode material, were regenerated from the pyrolysis products through a straightforward high-temperature solid-phase process, and the regenerated NCM demonstrates remarkable electrochemical properties with strong cycling and rate performance. This method significantly contributes to environmental conservation, offering a green solution for recycling ternary battery waste while also addressing the challenge of waste PVC plastics. This dual-faceted approach mitigates environmental burden and resource wastage, marking a stride towards sustainable waste management and circular economy.

Direct epoxidation of propylene (C 3 H 6 ) with hydrogen (H 2 ) and oxygen (O 2 ) over Au/TS-1 catalyst was promising way for the synthesis of propylene oxide (PO). However, high selectivity of PO (>95 %) and conversion of C 3 H 6 (>5 %) cannot be achieved at the same time. The industrialization process was severely restricted. In this paper, Au/TS-1 catalysts were synthesized by deposition precipitation method with alkali metal promoter. And alkaline gases and silane coupling post-treatment were performed to promote the catalytic activity. The prepared samples exhibited a much better C 3 H 6 conversion (6.5 %) and PO selectivity (95.1 %) compared with general catalyst using normal synthetic technology. Cs 2 CO 3 was beneficial to increasing Au nanoparticles uptake efficiency. Both NH 3 and triethoxyvinylsilane post-treatment were good for smaller and more uniform loading of Au nanoparticles. The decreasing in surface hydroxyl density effectively alleviated the occurrence of PO ring opening isomerization. The increased hydrophobicity of TS-1 surface was conducive to the rapid desorption of generated PO and significantly increased PO selectivity. Multiple pretreatment was also favorable for extending the lifetime of Au/TS-1 catalyst.

Lattice defects in rare earth (RE) doped single-phase semiconductor materials play a key role in structural modifications and physicochemical characteristics, resulting to enhance the ionic conductivity. In this work, we synthesized lanthanum doped samarium oxide with different mole ratios and applied it as a ceramics membrane fuel cell device to enable high peak power density (PPD) at low operational temperatures (520–400 °C). The samples are capable of triple charge H + /O 2− /e − conduction and enhance the catalytic function of the cell in terms of HOR and ORR kinetics by producing lattice defects. The fabricated Sm 1.5 La 1.5 Fe 5 O 12 (2-SLFO) fuel cell device exhibits a high OCV of 1.13 V with a maximum PPD of 864.26 mW/cm 2 at 520 °C. Durability measurement verifies that 2-SLFO-based fuel cell device can be worked for 60 h under fuel cell conditions (H 2 /air) at 520 °C. The first principle calculations using density functional theory (DFT) demonstrate that the higher oxygen vacancy concentration in the 2-SLFO sample may cause to the higher charge-transfer kinetics, subsequent in the enhancement of ions transportation of the fabricated fuel cell device.

The wide occurrence of metronidazole (MNZ) in aquatic environment has aroused increasing concern to the potential adverse effects on human health. Combining different motifs into a photolytic material to achieve high photocatalytic efficiency is regarded as one of the main strategies during photocatalytic process. Herein, a triple anions contained photocatalyst , Ba 3 (BO 3 )(CO 3 )F (BBCF), exhibited excellent removal efficiency of MNZ (92.6%) in 15 min, which was 5.87 times higher than that of commercial P25. The excellent removal efficiency could be attributed to the strong electronegativity of the F − , and the π-conjugated triangles structure of (BO 3 ) 3− and (CO 3 ) 2− , which made BBCF facilitate the transport of photogenerated electrons, thus accelerating the accumulation of active h + . Meanwhile, the appropriate reduction potential of BBCF accounted for the outstanding productivity of O 2 – . h + and O 2 – were proved as the dominant reactive species for MNZ degradation. The degradation products were analyzed by LC-TOF-MS, and the toxicity of the intermediate was evaluated to be lower than that of parent MNZ molecule. Moreover, BBCF showed the universal application of degrading oxytetracycline (OTC), methylene blue (MB). Therefore, anion-rich BBCF catalyst with high catalytic activity has a potential application prospect for degrading harmful pollutants in practical water environment.

The reactions of oxygen and samarium ions in molten NaCl–2CsCl eutectic in the temperature range of 823–913 K have been investigated by potentiometric titration in an inert gas atmosphere. The activity of oxygen ions in the studied melts was monitored using a standard YZME (indicator) electrode based on Y2O3-stabilized ZrO2 with a solid–electrolyte membrane. The titration of Sm3+ by O2− ions demonstrated the formation of insoluble SmOCl compounds in the investigated region. The mechanism of formation of SmOCl and Sm2O3 was established by the analysis of potentiometric titration curves. Subsequently, the solubility of SmOCl and Sm2O3 in the melt was calculated using the material balance equation and solubility constant equation. Finally, the basic thermodynamic properties of SmOCl and Sm2O3 in molten NaCl–2CsCl eutectic were calculated, and the properties of samarium in the melt were summarized using the Pourbaix-type (E-pO2−) diagram to determine the kinds of stabilized samarium compounds. Furthermore, the optimal chlorination conditions can be obtained from the E-pO2− diagram of Sm.

Lithium metal batteries (LMBs) with a high theoretical capacity are seen as a type of the most potential energy storage system. Unfortunately, the growth of lithium dendrite, the irreversible side reactions, and the infinite volume alteration still curb the practical utilization of lithium metal anodes, resulting in low Coulombic efficiency (CE) and safety problems, etc. Herein, we synthesize a lithiophilic 3D copper foam host with uniformly distributed nano-flower-like ZnO particles (CuF/ZnO) and obtain the composite lithium metal anode containing the Li 2 O, LiZn alloy, and pure Li by the infusion of molten Li (CuF/Li 2 O-LiZn@Li). Benefitting from the advantages of the 3D structure of copper foam and the lithiophilicity of ZnO sites, the composite lithium metal anode can restrain the volume alternation and regulate the uniform deposition of lithium. The symmetrical cells of the composite lithium metal anode have a 1600 h long cycle life with a low polarization voltage of 15 mV, and the Coulombic efficiency can maintain about 97.8% at 1.0 mA·cm −2 , 1.0 mAh·cm −2 .
