Load bearing/energy storage integrated devices (LEIDs) allow using structural parts to store energy, and thus become a promising solution to boost the overall energy density of mobile energy storage systems, such as electric cars and drones. Herein, with a new high-strength solid electrolyte, we prepare a practical high-performance load-bearing/energy storage integrated electrochemical capacitors with excellent mechanical strength (flexural modulus: 18.1 GPa, flexural strength: 160.0 MPa) and high energy storage ability (specific capacitance: 32.4 mF cm −2 , energy density: 0.13 Wh m −2 , maximum power density: 1.3 W m −2 ). We design and compare two basic types of multilayered structures for LEID, which significantly enhance the practical bearing ability and working flexibility of the device. Besides, we also demonstrate the excellent processability of the LEID, by forming them into curved shapes, and secondarily machining and assembling them into complex structures without affecting their energy storage ability.

Resorcinol–formaldehyde (RF) aerogels are widely used as thermal insulation materials. The present investigation of RF aerogels emphases on improving hydrophobic property and high-temperature residual yields. In this study, polysiloxane-modified RF composite xerogel monoliths were prepared by gelation of poly(methylphenylsiloxane) prepolymer with RF in cosolvent and ambient pressure drying. The influence of phenyl content on structure and thermal property of xerogels was investigated. The as-prepared RF composite monoliths were lightweight and hydrophobic with density lower than 0.300 g/cm 3 and water contact angles approaching 130°. Morphology analyses indicated that polysiloxane grew and formed a continuous layer on RF porous skeleton with controlled reaction parameter. Thermogravimetry analyses (TGA) certified that the controlled incorporation of polysiloxane in composite xerogels enhanced the thermal degradation temperature at which the weight loss of RF xerogels reaches 5% ( T 5% ) and increased the residual yields at 1000 °C. The carbonized derivatives were obtained for further enhancing the thermal stability by removal of small molecules during carbonization. Xerogel monoliths preserved hydrophobic property till 500 °C carbonization due to the thermal stability of poly(methylphenylsiloxane). The heat-resistant composite xerogels remained monolith structure after 800 °C treatment under nitrogen condition.
The prepared composite xerogels were lightweight, hydrophobic, and thermal resistant. The hydrophobic property was preserved for 500 °C-carbonized derivatives. The heat-resistant composite xerogels remained monolith structure after 800 °C carbonized treatment under nitrogen condition.

Understanding the effects of changing climate and long-term human activities on soil organic carbon (SOC) and the mediating roles of microorganisms is critical to maintain soil C stability in agricultural ecosystem. Here, we took samples from a long-term soil transplantation experiment, in which large transects of Mollisol soil in a cold temperate region were translocated to warm temperate and mid-subtropical regions to simulate different climate conditions, with a fertilization treatment on top. This study aimed to understand fertilization effect on SOC and the role of soil microorganisms featured after long-term community incubation in warm climates. After 12 years of soil transplantation, fertilization led to less reduction of SOC, in which aromatic C increased and the consumption of O-alkyl C and carbonyl C decreased. Soil live microbes were analyzed using propidium monoazide to remove DNAs from dead cells, and their network modulization explained 60.4% of variations in soil labile C. Single-cell Raman spectroscopy combined with D 2 O isotope labeling indicated a higher metabolic activity of live microbes to use easily degradable C after soil transplantation. Compared with non-fertilization, there was a significant decrease in soil α- and β-glucosidase and delay on microbial growth with fertilization in warmer climate. Moreover, fertilization significantly increased microbial necromass as indicated by amino sugar content, and its contribution to soil resistant C reached 22.3%. This study evidentially highlights the substantial contribution of soil microbial metabolism and necromass to refractory C of SOC with addition of nutrients in the long-term.

Gold–palladium (AuPd) alloy nano-corolla are successfully prepared in high purity, followed by exploration as electrocatalysts for electroxidation of ethanol (EOR) in alkaline medium. Applying kinetics control on the one-pot formation process using a syringe pump is emphasized, where the Au/Pd precursor solution is dropwise titrated into the reaction mixture containing capping agent and reductant at an elevated temperature. We perform systematical investigation towards the morphology evolution pathway and effects of several key parameters. After loading on carbon black, the current AuPd alloy nano-corolla exhibit superb specific activity, reaction kinetics, and operation stability for EOR, showing morphological and structural merit. The present study provides insight into fabrication of bimetallic alloy nanocrystals with open structure, which could find important use in crystal engineering for multimetallic nanocrystals and rational design of fuel cell electrocatalyst. Graphical abstract Gold–palladium (AuPd) alloy nanocrystals in the form of corolla are successfully prepared via kinetic-controlled synthesis in high purity, exhibit improved activity and stability as EOR electrocatalysts in KOH solution

Background Research on human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) has shown tremendous progress in cell-based regenerative medicine. Corneal endothelial dysfunction is associated with the loss and degeneration of corneal endothelial cells (CECs), rendering cell replacement a promising therapeutic strategy. However, comprehensive preclinical assessments of hPSC-derived CECs for this cell therapy remain a challenge. Results Here we defined an adapted differentiation protocol to generate induced corneal endothelial cells (iCECs) consistently and efficiently from clinical-grade human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) with xeno-free medium and manufactured cryopreserved iCECs. Cells express high levels of typical CECs markers and exhibit transendothelial potential properties in vitro typical of iCECs. After rigorous quality control measures, cells meeting all release criteria were available for in vivo studies. We found that there was no overgrowth or tumorigenicity of grafts in immunodeficient mice. After grafting into rabbit models, the surviving iCECs ameliorated edema and recovered corneal opacity. Conclusions Our work provides an efficient approach for generating iCECs and demonstrates the safety and efficacy of iCECs in disease modeling. Therefore, clinical-grade iCECs are a reliable source for future clinical treatment of corneal endothelial dysfunction.

The recycled graphite (RG) and a new type of recycled graphite with multi-layer coating structure (RGC) were prepared by using spent graphite and asphalt. The electrochemical properties and coatings of RG and RGC were also investigated. The low graphitization degree of hard carbon and soft carbon was beneficial to improve the electrochemical properties of regenerated graphite, which was verified by first principles. The unique structure (soft carbon/ hard carbon/ graphite) limited the volume expansion of hard carbon and graphite when lithium ions were embedded or extruded, which improved the rate capability and cycling performance of the battery. Compared with spent graphite (SG) and recycled graphite (RG), the first charge-specific capacity of RGC at 0.1 C was 349.17 mAh·g − 1 , and the coulombic efficiency was 82.47%. Impressive reversible capacity was 263.38 mAh·g − 1 after 130 cycles at 0.5 C and discharge capacity of 188 mAh·g − 1 at 1 C. Due to the pre-lithiation of RGC, the first coulomb efficiency (99.49%) of the full battery (18,650) was higher than that of commercial graphite, and the energy conservation rate was 65.6% after 2000 cycles. This study provides a simple and effective scheme, and realizes the clean recovery and high value commercial application of spent graphite.

Illicit drug use has long been a key issue of international concern, and the true situation is unknown to the relevant authorities. To develop a profile of comprehensive consumption patterns of illicit drugs in China, data from 34 wastewater treatment plants in 25 cities were collected to analyze four classes of drugs, including amphetamine-type stimulants, opioids, ketamine, and cocaine. They were identified and quantified in samples using methods based on gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry. According to the wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE) approach, an analysis of the consumption pattern was performed regarding per inhabitant consumption based on the revised metabolic rate. The consumption quantity of illicit drug and precursor was divided into four categories based on statistical difference analyses: methamphetamine and ephedrine (precursor) were the predominant drugs in the first category, followed by ketamine and heroin in the second category, methcathinone and 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) in the third category, and cocaine and methadone in the fourth category. There were distinctive spatial patterns: heroin and cocaine consumption was higher in Southern China than in Northern China, heroin consumption was higher in Western China than in Eastern China, and the consumption of each drug differed across seven regions of China, especially with ephedrine and methcathinone consumption higher in North China; heroin consumption higher in Southwest, Central, and Northwest China; and ketamine and MDMA consumption higher in East, South, and Central China. Compared with findings in previous studies, there were temporal patterns, in which ketamine consumption presented a downward trend but heroin remained stable. Based on correlation analyses, there were the polydrug abuse patterns between heroin and cocaine, methcathinone and ketamine, and cocaine and MDMA. In general, this study based on WBE provides a comprehensive evaluation of drug consumption in China. Graphical abstract

Metal–organic frameworks as electrode materials have attracted significant attention due to their high specific surface area and flexible structures. Compared with the metal–organic frameworks derived products, the direct applications of metal–organic frameworks as electrode materials are rather seldom because of their insufficient conductivity. Herein, binary nickel–cobalt based metal–organic frameworks are developed as electrode materials for supercapacitor. The binary metal based metal–organic frameworks behave better electrochemical performance than the sole metal base metal–organic frameworks, and this is majorly due to the synergistic effect between the binary metals. The highest capacitances of 978.9 F g −1 at 1 A g −1 at a nickel/cobalt ratio of 2:4 can be obtained. Meanwhile, the nickel–cobalt metal–organic framework presents excellent stability even after being run for 3000 cycles. The Ni–Co-2-4-MOF//AC asymmetric capacitor shows a high energy density of 14.77 Wh kg −1 and power density of 8477 W kg −1 . These results show that Ni–Co-MOFs have a promising applications in supercapacitor electrode.

Benzyl iodide, an important organic synthesis intermediate, has high reaction activity as well as high commercial value due to its weakest carbon-halogen bond. However, the development of direct iodination of toluene for benzyl iodide is limited by the fact that the C-I bond is easily decomposed under heat or light. In this work, the photoiodination of toluene to synthesize benzyl iodide in the I 2 /PhI(OAc) 2 / t BuOH system was carefully investigated in the flow photoreactor under LEDs irradiation. The reaction window suitable for the reaction kinetic characteristics recognition was revealed with the considerations of the effects of various parameters including light color, light intensity, reaction temperature, residence time, and usage of each substrate. And an optimized result is to achieve 95.83 % of yield and over 99 % of selectivity under a red light with 2.05 mW/cm 2 of light intensity at 80 o C after 15 min reaction. The reaction kinetic model coupling the iodination reaction (photo and thermal reaction) with the decomposition reaction is established, which fits well the experimental results and provides fundamentals for process design and optimization.

Defect density is one of the most significant characteristics of perovskite single crystals (PSCs) that determines their optical and electrical properties, but few strategies are available to tune this property. Here, we demonstrate that voltage regulation is an efficient method to tune defect density, as well as the optical and electrical properties of PSCs. A three-step carrier transport model of MAPbBr 3 PSCs is proposed to explore the defect regulation mechanism and carrier transport dynamics via an applied bias. Dynamic and steady-state photoluminescence measurements subsequently show that the surface defect density, average carrier lifetime, and photoluminescence intensity can be efficiently tuned by the applied bias. In particular, when the regulation voltage is 20 V (electrical poling intensity is 0.167 V μm −1 ), the surface defect density of MAPbBr 3 PSCs is reduced by 24.27%, the carrier lifetime is prolonged by 32.04%, and the PL intensity is increased by 112.96%. Furthermore, a voltage-regulated MAPbBr 3 PSC memristor device shows an adjustable multiresistance, weak ion migration effect and greatly enhanced device stability. Voltage regulation is a promising engineering technique for developing advanced perovskite optoelectronic devices.

The regulation of magnetic and dielectric properties for yttrium iron garnet ferrites by ion doping is highly desirable in microwave devices. In this work, yttrium iron garnet ferrites co-doped with Pr-Zn-Zr atoms with the chemical formula Pr x Y 3-x Zn 0.1 Zr 0.1 Fe 4.8 O 12 (x = 0, 0.1, 0.15, and 0.2) were prepared. The dependence of the crystal structure, microstructure, magnetic, and dielectric properties of the obtained samples on the Pr doping concentration was investigated. The morphologies and crystal structure characterizations confirm that the Pr ion has effectively doped in the yttrium iron garnet ferrites and increased the lattice parameter and grain size. The magnetic characterization shows that the saturation magnetization also increases with the Pr concentration and obtains a maximum value of 27.68 emu/g at x = 0.15. Additionally, the doping of Pr increases the magnetic anisotropy constant K 1 which increases ferromagnetic resonance linewidth. Lastly, the dielectric properties measurement further indicates that Pr doping improves both real and imaginary parts of permittivity, and the highest value of the real part of the permittivity is obtained at x = 0.15. Consequently, the crystal structure, microstructure, magnetic properties, and dielectric properties of garnet ferrite can be effectively regulated by the Pr doping concentration, and excellent properties of the ceramic can be obtained at x = 0.15, which allows potential applications in microwave devices.
