Two-dimensional MoSe 2 is a promising candidate for lithium-ion battery anodes. However, its conductivity and lithium storage volumetric effect still need to be optimized. In this work, W-doped MoSe 2 /rGO paper-like microspheres are successfully prepared through ultrasonic spray pyrolysis, achieving optimization at both the microstructure and mesostructure to enhance the lithium storage performance of the material. Firstly, by utilizing the similar two-dimensional structure between MoSe 2 and rGO, self-assembly is achieved through spray pyrolysis, resulting in a well-defined van der Waals heterostructure at the interface on the microscale, enhancing the electron and ion transfer capability of the composite. Secondly, the mesoscale paper-like microsphere morphology provides additional volume expansion buffering space. Moreover, W-doping not only increases the interlayer spacing of MoSe 2 (0.73 nm), thereby reducing the diffusion resistance of Li + , but also allow for the modulation of the energy band structure of the material. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations confirm that W-doped MoSe 2 /rGO exhibits the narrowest bandgap (0.892 eV). Therefore, the composite demonstrates excellent lithium storage performance, maintaining a specific capacity of 732.9 mAh·g −1 after 300 cycles at a current density of 1 A·g −1 . Graphical abstract

Global energy demands and climate change challenges have highlighted the need for sustainable and energy-efficient solutions, driving interest in personal thermal management (PTM) technologies. Traditional PTM systems, however, rely on unidirectional thermal regulation, limiting their adaptability to fluctuating ambient conditions and humidity gradients. To overcome these limitations, we engineered a Janus Nano-ZnO/rGO nonwoven fabric (NZr@NF) that combines dynamic bidirectional thermal regulation with unidirectional sweat transport. The cooling side, featuring in situ grown Nano-ZnO layers, achieved high solar reflectance (88.49 %) and infrared emittance (94.20 %), allowing for net radiative cooling power of up to 100.38 W·m −2 . The heating side, functionalized with PDMS@rGO composites, demonstrated remarkable solar absorptance (94.86 %). Compared with the raw fabric, outdoor measurements demonstrated that it achieved an additional cooling effect of 6.27 °C and an additional heating effect of 17.1 °C. This Janus NZr@NF also excelled in moisture-wicking, achieving a cumulative one-way moisture transport index of 442.1 %, effectively mitigating post-sweat discomfort by facilitating evaporation and heat dissipation. With its ultraviolet (UV) resistance, breathability, and moisture permeability, this multifunctional metamaterial provides an innovative direction for wearable energy-saving PTM fabrics.

Solar-driven interfacial evaporation has emerged as a prominent sustainable desalination technology due to its clear energy utilization and low operational costs. However, developing evaporators with high efficiency, structural stability, and salt-resistant properties remains a critical challenge. Herein, we designed an rGCW x @PVDF-PVP membrane fabricated via a facile phase inversion strategy, demonstrating exceptional solar evaporation performance and cyclic stability. The synergistic integration of rGO-xW 18 O 49 nanoplates (W 18 O 49 nanowires anchored on rGO surface) and CNTs enables broadband spectral absorbance (∼90.00%). The hierarchically porous PVDF-PVP membrane facilitates rapid water transport and provides substantial vapor escape channels. Notably, the incorporation of PVP with nitrogen-containing functional groups modulates water molecule interactions by weakening hydrogen bonding networks, and PVP effectively reduces the evaporation enthalpy of the water system and improves evaporation performance. Under 1 sun irradiation, the evaporator achieves an outstanding evaporation rate of 2.09 kg m −2 h −1 with a photothermal conversion efficiency of 92.80%. Remarkably, the evaporator maintains terrific performance in desalination without surface salt crystallization, demonstrating exceptional anti-fouling capability during prolonged operation. This novel and simple thin-film evaporator presents a broad prospect in the field of interfacial evaporation, offering a practical strategy for sustainable water purification and global freshwater scarcity.

Solar-driven interfacial evaporation has garnered significant attention as a sustainable technology for freshwater production. However, its widespread application is impeded by challenges, such as complex fabrication processes, high costs, and vulnerability to pore clogging. Herein, we present an E-shaped evaporator constructed through in situ integration of a binary photothermal nanocomposite comprising reduced graphene oxide and molybdenum disulfide (rGO/MoS2) onto a polyurethane sponge substrate. The synergistic light absorption enhancement of the rGO/MoS2 hybrid is rationally utilized to achieve excellent broadband solar harvesting. The distinctive E-shaped configuration simultaneously optimizes light utilization through multiangle photon capture and facilitates rapid water transport via hierarchical channels. This integrated system demonstrates exceptional operational stability with a cumulative water yield of 16.58 kg·m–2 under 12 h natural illumination, which could effectively facilitate seawater desalination and wastewater purification. The proposed fabrication strategy, characterized by cost-effectiveness and scalable manufacturing compatibility, paves the way for practical implementation in off-grid water purification systems.

Secondary effluent organic matter (EfOM) significantly contributes to membrane fouling in ultrafiltration (UF) systems, which limits their broader use in municipal wastewater recycle. A modified ceramic ultrafiltration membrane (MCUM) was synthesized via vacuum filtration and thermal treatment and then activated under ultraviolet (UV) irradiation. The results indicated that the MCUM-2.88 exhibited the most excellent removal of EfOM, effectively retained high molecular weight (MW) proteinaceous substances, and converted medium MW humic-like compounds into lower MW derivatives. Through parallel factor analysis in conjunction with the self-organizing map algorithm, it was observed that the MCUM primarily degraded aromatic, high MW fluorescent components, while tryptophan-like substances remained as dominant residues due to their resistance to photodegradation. Additionally, the improved surface roughness and hydrophilicity of the MCUM facilitated fouling mitigation by strengthening interfacial repulsion, which diminished foulant adhesion. The fouling mechanism transitioned from complete and intermediate blocking to predominantly intermediate blocking, accompanied by a reduction in gel layer fouling. Consequently, the reversible fouling resistance of the MCUM was reduced by 76.8 %, and the irreversible resistance by 34.3 %, markedly enhancing antifouling performance. The results underscore the effectiveness of MCUM in advanced municipal wastewater treatment, showcasing enhanced antifouling performance and strong potential for sustainable water reuse applications.

In harsh humid environments, conventional epoxy coatings suffer from inadequate corrosion resistance due to microporous defects formed during curing, while the trial-and-error optimization of fillers faces challenges such as unclear mechanisms and low design efficiency. This study proposes a novel "computation-driven material design" paradigm, elucidating the synergistic moisture-resistant mechanisms of fillers through cross-scale simulations. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations show that adding 3 wt% graphene oxide (GO) reduces the free volume of epoxy by 15% and decreases the water diffusion coefficient by 10%. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations identify a high adsorption energy barrier (21.831 eV) generated by fluorine groups in polyfluoroaniline (PFAN) through electron cloud redistribution, effectively suppressing water penetration. Monte Carlo (MC) simulations further bridge microscopic energy barriers with macroscopic penetration flux. Guided by these insights, reduced graphene oxide-polyfluoroaniline (rGO-PFAN) composite fillers are synthesized via covalent grafting, experimentally demonstrating synergistic barrier-hydrophobic effects. Epoxy coatings containing 1.5 wt% rGO-PFAN retain an impedance modulus of 4.44×10 11 Ω·cm 2 after 90-day immersion, while 2 wt% filler reduces long-term water absorption by 73.63%. Salt spray tests confirm superior corrosion suppression at defect regions. Mechanical property tests show that the coating exhibits significantly reduced wear loss, enhanced adhesion strength, and perfect adhesion after thermal cycling. This work pioneers the multiscale correlation from electron-cloud interactions to macroscopic anticorrosion performance, establishing a theoretical framework for the rational design of intelligent coatings in extreme environments.

Aircraft confronting harsh meteorological conditions and radar detection environments during high-altitude flights face significant risks, which can threaten flight safety. This study designs and fabricates a novel Jerusalem cross-inspired Frequency Selective Surface (FSS). Initially, rGO powder with an optimized reduction degree is synthesized as the conductive filler. Based on this, the rGO/WPU electrothermal coating is prepared using the spraying method, demonstrating excellent electrical conductivity and electrothermal performance. Subsequently, a New Jerusalem Pattern Structure (NJPS) is engineered on the coating surface. This patterned design notably improved microwave transmittance. Parameter optimization ensured superior wave transmission performance, with the underlying mechanism explained through antisymmetric surface current analysis. Laser-engraved NJPS samples are tested under both room-temperature and low-temperature conditions, confirming dual functionality: effective Joule heating and stable broadband transmission. Importantly, icing wind tunnel tests under simulated flight conditions verified the de-icing capability within 216s via interfacial water-film lubrication. This patterning strategy establishes a viable methodology for reconciling electrothermal de-icing and electromagnetic transparency on aircraft surfaces.

Potassium (K) with higher abundance than lithium has been explored as an anode material for K metal batteries (KMBs) for possible application in large-scale energy storage. However, the unstable solid electrolyte interface (SEI) at the K anode due to uncontrolled growth of K dendrites is a challenge in KMB development. In this paper, a multifunctional interface containing Sb2O3 and reduced graphene oxide (rGO) on Cu foam to form a current collector (Cu@Sb2O3@rGO) is developed for a KMB anode through structural regulation, where the Cu form with a large surface area can reduce the volume change during charge and discharge processes, Sb2O3 can provide potassiophilicity toward uniform K plating and stripping to give a dendrite-free K anode, and rGO can provide abundant defects for increasing the ion transport and reaction kinetics. Such a Cu@Sb2O3@rGO current collector exhibits a remarkable reversibility of K plating/stripping for up to 600 cycles at 0.5 mA cm−2/2 mA h cm−2, and the formed Cu@Sb2O3@rGO@K anode demonstrates an extended cycle lifespan of 1300 hours under 0.2 mA cm−2/0.2 mA h cm−2 in symmetric cells. This anode-constructed PTCDA‖ Cu@Sb2O3@rGO@K full battery exhibits both exceptional cycling stability (over 2000 cycles) and outstanding rate capability (112.8 mA h g−1 at 10 C). Furthermore, even under extremely low temperature (−20 °C), this battery can still maintain an impressive 55% of its room temperature capacity. In situ Raman spectroscopic techniques and electrochemical methods including in situ EIS, half cell, symmetric cell, and full cell tests and theoretical DFT calculations are carried out to probe the structure–performance relationship and the reaction mechanisms for fundamental understanding toward further optimizing the performance of such the K anode and the corresponding KMBs. The strategy for stabilizing the K metal anode in this work may provide a guidance for further development of advanced low-temperature potassium metal batteries.

The prostate-specific antigen (PSA) has been widely used for the early diagnosis of prostate cancer during routine check-ups. However, the low sensitivity of regular PSA tests in the PSA gray zone often means that patients are required to undergo further invasive needle biopsy for the diagnosis of prostate cancer, which may lead to potential overdiagnosis and overtreatment. In this study, a circulating tumor cell (CTC)-chip based on an evaporation-induced reduced graphene oxide (rGO) coating is presented, which enables a highly specific and non-invasive diagnosis of prostate cancer in the PSA gray zone. During the evaporation process of the rGO dispersion, the Marangoni effect induces the self-assembly of a hierarchical micro/nanowrinkled rGO coating, which can capture CTCs after subsequent surface modification of capture agents. Compared to the low diagnostic sensitivity (58.3%) of regular PSA tests, a combination of CTC detection and PSA-based hematological tests via machine-learning analysis can greatly upgrade the diagnostic sensitivity of this disease to 91.7% in clinical trial. Therefore, this study provides a non-invasive alternative with high sensitivity for the diagnosis of prostate cancer in the PSA gray zone.

An electrochemical immunosensor for quantitation of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) based on Au-Ag/ [email protected] nanocomposites for dual signal amplification strategy was designed. Polydopamine-coated Ag/graphene hybrids were synthesized by one-step reduction and functionalization, and the dopamine was introduced to replace some reducing agents that are harmful to organisms. Silver nanoparticles modified on the electrodes produced sensitive electrochemical redox peaks. When different amounts of protein (antigen, antibody, bovine serum protein, etc.) were adsorbed on the surface of nano-silver, the surface of nano-silver was covered. The electrochemical redox peak of silver particles decreased due to the change of the effective area of bare silver particles which could react with electrodes. In addition, CEA-antibody (anti-CEA) was immobilized into a biocompatible nanocomposite of Au nanoparticles as a conductive matrix, and CEA-antibody (anti-CEA) was combined with Ag/ [email protected] to form a dual signal amplifying element. Under optimal condition, the linear relationship was obtained from 0.001 ng mL −1 to 80 ng mL −1 between current signal and CEA concentration with a detection limit of 0.286 pg mL −1 (signal-to-noise ratio is 3). The label-free electrochemical immunosensor has been successfully applied to human serum detection due to good selectivity , stability and reproducibility.

As one of the most promising structural anode materials, carbon fibers (CF) have gained much attention. One of the central problems in their application is retaining their tensile strength and simultaneously improving their electrochemical properties. Herein, we report reduced graphene oxide/SnO2@carbon fibers (rGO/SnO2@CF) with wrinkled surfaces, fabricated via a simple hydrothermal method followed by heat treatment. This material exhibits prominent tensile properties, improved reversible capacity, excellent cycling stability and significantly enhanced first cycle coulombic efficiency. Compared to the reversible capacity at the 20th cycle, the rGO/SnO2@CF retained 93.6% reversible capacity after 100 cycles at 50 mA g−1, corresponding to a capacity fading of only 0.08% per cycle. The Weibull scale parameter and shape parameter of rGO/SnO2@CF were up to 4.63 GPa and 7.87, respectively. Our measurements revealed that the positive influence of rGO effectively countervailed the negative influence of the hydrothermal process on the tensile strength; the interleaved structure of rGO/SnO2 prevented the dispersion degree of tensile strength from decreasing; the synergistic effect of rGO and SnO2 enhanced the properties of the carbon fibers, including the tensile strength and the electrochemical properties; the formed rGO network structure and bicontinuous electronic transport pathway are in favor of the cycling stability.

An interference-free and label-free sensing platform was developed for the highly sensitive detection of microRNA-21 (miRNA-21) in vitro by magnetic silicon microsphere (MNP)-reduced graphene oxide (rGO)-based sandwich probe. In this method, DNA capture probes (P 1 ) were connected with MNPs at the 5′ end and hybridized with completely complementary target miRNA. Subsequently, rGO was retained and induced the fluorescence quenching in the supernatant. Through the magnetic separation, the supernatant environment was simplified and the interference to analytical signal was eliminated. When DNA capture probe-modified magnetic silicon microspheres (MNP-P 1 ) were adsorbed through rGO in the absence of a target and formed a sandwich structure, the formed nanostructure was easily removed from the solution by a magnetic field and the fluorescence intensity was maximally recovered. This proposed strategy, which both overcame the expensive and cumbersome fluorescent labeling , and eliminated interference to analytical signal for guaranteeing high signal-to-background ratio, exhibited high sensitivity with a detection limit as low as 0.098 nM and special selectivity toward miRNA-21. The method was potentially applicable for not only detection of miRNA-21 but also various biomarker analyses just by changing capture probes.
