SiO x is regarded as a promising anode material for the next-generation lithium-ion batteries with high energy density. However, the reduplicative volume changes during cycling cause the pulverizations of Si, leading to decreased utilization of active Si component and poor cycling performance. Herein, a facile and scalable Fe-Cr decorating strategy is reported to boost the lithium storage of SiO x anode. Our comprehensive characterizations indicate that there are strong interactions between Fe-Cr and SiO x during a facile ball milling process. After cycling, Fe-Cr nanoparticles are dispersed in the in-situ formed lithium silicates and Li 2 O matrix, which can maintain superior conductivity of lithium ion and electron for the active components through point-to-point connections. This unique structure boosts the electrochemical de-alloying process of the low-valent Li x Si (0 ≤ x ≤ 2), and increases effective utilization of the active Si component during cycling, resulting in improvement of reversible capacity and cycling stability. This bm SiO x -FeCr electrode can deliver high reversible specific capacity (1370 m Ah g −1 at 200 mA g −1 ), good rate capability (653.8 m Ah g −1 at 2000 mA g −1 ), and superior cycling stability. This work provides a promising route for improving the utilization of active Si component and the structural stability of SiO x -based anodes.

Ni/Mn-based layered oxides have been widely studied for sodium ion battery cathode because of high capacity and simple preparation. However, its application has been restricted owing to unstable structure and poor cycling performance. Herein, the multi-element doped hexagonal sheet Ni/Mn-based layered oxide with ZrO 2 surface modification O3-NaNi 0.3 Mn 0.5-x Fe 0.1 Cu 0.1 Zr x O 2 @ZrO 2 (NFMCZ-x) cathode materials have been successfully synthesize by high temperature calcination method accompanied by ball milling activation. XRD refinement results show Zr 4+ substitution of Mn 3+ can increase interlayer distance of sodium layer. Benefiting from the synergetic effect of multi-element doping and ZrO 2 surface modification, the optimized NFMCZ-0.03 sample exhibits a higher discharge capacity of 178 mAh/g at 0.1C and good capacity retention (77 % after 50 cycles at 2C). Furthermore, NFMCZ-0.03 has an excellent air stability with a capacity retention rate of 86 % during 50 cycles at 1C after being exposed in the air for 20 days. The ex-situ XRD results of NMFC at different charge/discharge voltages show Zr 4+ doping can suppress O3 + P3′'–O3′-O3 + P3′' phase transition during charge/discharge process. These results confirm that synergistic effect of multi-doping combined with surface modification can improve electrochemical performance of layered oxides cathodes, which provides a research idea for development of Ni/Mn-based layered oxides cathodes for sodium-ion batteries.

The meso-molding three-dimensionally ordered macroporous alumina (3DOM/m-Al) was synthesized via a dual-templating approach (polystyrene (PS) colloidal crystals as hard template and triblock copolymer P123 as soft template) with hydrous aluminum isopropoxide as precursor. The obtained 3DOM/m-Al was characterized, and the results showed that 3DOM/m-Al had ordered macropores ( ca. 300 nm in diameter) with wormhole-like mesopores, relatively high surface areas (338.1 m 2 /g), large pore volumes (0.4030 cm 3 /g) and tunable pore sizes. The amino functionalized 3DOM/m-Al by aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) was activated by glutaraldehyde and used as support for the immobilization of three different commercial enzymes (Lipase B from Candida antarctica (CALB), penicillin G acylase (PGA) and nitrile hydratase (NHase)). The result of confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) indicated that the enzyme was successfully immobilized onto glutaraldehyde-activated NH 2 -3DOM/m-Al. The effect of the immobilized conditions on the specific activity of enzymes was investigated. Compared with free enzymes, the immobilized enzymes exhibited enhanced thermal stability. The three immobilized enzymes (CALB@NH 2 -3DOM/m-Al, PGA@NH 2 -3DOM/m-Al and NHase@NH 2 -3DOM/m-Al) were applied for the synthesis of palmitic acid, 6-aminopenicillanic acid (6-APA) and acrylamide, respectively. After recycling 10 times, CALB@NH 2 -3DOM/m-Al, PGA@NH 2 -3DOM/m-Al and NHase@NH 2 -3DOM/m-Al retained approximately 76%, 87% and 52% of their initial activities, respectively, indicating that the immobilized enzymes had good operational stability. Therefore, this work documented herein provides a versatile platform for enzyme immobilization with several inherent advantages.

Operational stability remains the foremost concern delaying the commercialization of perovskite solar cells (PSCs). Ions diffusion from iodine-rich perovskite layer to metal electrode is one main reason for the irreversible devices degradation. Here we introduce chemically crosslinked TMTA (trimethylolpropane triacrylate) at both bulk perovskite layer and perovskite/PCBM interface to suppress the ions diffusion toward electrode. The TMTA in perovskite layer suppresses ions migration along grain boundaries and TMTA at perovskite/PCBM interface blocks ions diffusion toward electrode, owing to its continuous network structure and chemically inert nature. Diffusion experiment, permeation experiment and resistive random-access memory (RRAM) investigation confirm the effectively blocked ions diffusion in PSCs with TMTA whether under heat, light or electric field conditions. The resulting PSCs exhibit 7-fold improvement in operational stability at elevated temperature of 60 °C, retaining ~80% of initial efficiency after maximum power point tracking for 1000 h under continuous illumination. The PSCs with TMTA also exhibit good thermal stability and retain over 90% of the initial efficiency after aging at 60 °C for 1000 h.

A super solid electrolyte of Ba-substituted Li 10 GeP 2 S 12 is designed and fabricated to achieve high electrochemical stability. Among the Ba-substituted Li 10 GeP 2 S 12 solid electrolytes, the composition of Li 9.4 Ba 0.3 GeP 2 S 12 exhibits the highest ionic conductivity of 7.04 × 10 − 4 S cm − 1 with an activation energy of 28.27 kJ mol − 1 at 25 °C. The electrochemical window of Li 9.4 Ba 0.3 GeP 2 S 12 is between 0 and 6 V (vs. Li), which is higher than the typical 5 V window of Li 10 GeP 2 S 12 . As compared with Li 10 GeP 2 S 12 , Li 9.4 Ba 0.3 GeP 2 S 12 demonstrates a significantly reduced polarization and a better cycle stability though its ionic conductivity is slightly lower than that of the former. The electrochemical stability of Ba-substituted Li 10 GeP 2 S 12 can be attributed to the structural stability resulting from the stable interaction between Ba 2 + and S 2 − in the structure.

In this study, a multi-phenol antioxidant 2,4,6-tris(3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyphenylthio)-1,3,5-triazine (THA) was synthesized. The thermal stability of THA and its oxidation resistance in triisodecyl trimellitate (TDTM) ester oil were evaluated compared with several commercial phenol antioxidants. Further investigations on the oxidation resistance and tribological performance of THA with dinonyl diphenylamine (Am) and ZDDP composites were conducted to determine the additive compatibility in TDTM. The results indicate that the THA possesses higher thermal stability and more effectiveness of oxidation resistance than the commercial phenol antioxidants. The synergistic anti-oxidative effect is confirmed for the THA/Am mixtures in TDTM ester oil. However, the addition of THA alone or THA/Am mixtures shows no improvement for the tribological performance of TDTM. Excitingly, the THA/Am/ZDDP composite additives not only have the superior oxidation resistance, but exhibit the effective friction and wear reductions. It suggests the excellent compatibility of the synthesized THA antioxidant with Am and ZDDP additives in TDTM ester oil.

Obtaining whispering gallery mode (WGM) lasing with prominent stability and high quality optical cavities is extremely desirable but still a great challenge. Despite the recent surge of reports on microspheres, nanowires and nanoplatelets metal halide crystals, there has few reports on the morphology of Hemispheres (HSs) in the form of uniform, component-tunable microcrystals. Here, CsPbX 3 (X = Cl/Br) HSs with smooth surface and regular geometry structure were synthesized on silicon substrates by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method, and the wavelength of laser can be continuously tuned from blue to green (450–540 nm) at room temperature by varying the halide composition. WGM laser with polarization ratio of 0.70 and cavity quality factor Q of 2485 were realized in the CsPbBr 3 HS cavity. Besides, the crystal cavity suggested a high photonic and thermal stability for the superb capability of continuous stable lasing output under ambient conditions. All these results illustrate that the synthesis of cesium lead halide perovskite HSs may provide an alternative solution for fundamental researches and applications in optical devices.

All-inorganic semiconductor perovskite quantum dots (QDs) with outstanding optoelectronic properties have already been extensively investigated and implemented in various applications. However, great challenges exist for the fabrication of nanodevices including toxicity, fast anion-exchange reactions, and unsatisfactory stability. Here, the ultrathin, core–shell structured SiO 2 coated Mn 2+ doped CsPbX 3 (X = Br, Cl) QDs are prepared via one facile reverse microemulsion method at room temperature. By incorporation of a multibranched capping ligand of trioctylphosphine oxide, it is found that the breakage of the CsPbMnX 3 core QDs contributed from the hydrolysis of silane could be effectively blocked. The thickness of silica shell can be well-controlled within 2 nm, which gives the CsPbMnX 3 @SiO 2 QDs a high quantum yield of 50.5% and improves thermostability and water resistance. Moreover, the mixture of CsPbBr 3 QDs with green emission and CsPbMnX 3 @SiO 2 QDs with yellow emission presents no ion exchange effect and provides white light emission. As a result, a white light-emitting diode (LED) is successfully prepared by the combination of a blue on-chip LED device and the above perovskite mixture. The as-prepared white LED displays a high luminous efficiency of 68.4 lm W −1 and a high color-rendering index of Ra = 91, demonstrating their broad future applications in solid-state lighting fields.

Flexible and stretchable electrodes as the cornerstone of bioelectronics are bridging human with biomedical devices in an unprecedentedly intimate and safer way. However, maintaining high electrical properties while adapting to moist, complex and dynamic biosurfaces for a prolonged period of usage remains a great challenge. Herein, we demonstrate an omnidirectionally stretchable transparent electrode based on serpentine Au nanotrough (AuNT) networks with highly tunable optoelectronic performances (sheet resistance of down to ∼13 Ω sq −1 at transmittance of 90%). Owing to the junction-free nanoweb structure with an ultralow percolation density, the AuNT networks demonstrate excellent thermal stability as an efficient Joule heater with a wide operating temperature range up to 390 °C. The in-plane buckled AuNT electrode exhibits controllable heat generation upon repetitive tensile strains of 60%, enabling wearable thermotherapy at highly strained joints . Such highly stretchable electrodes can be directly laminated on the balloon catheter as expandable, high-density nanomesh ablators, showing excellent thermal and moisture stability during 15 days of storage under conditions of relative humidity of 85% at 70 °C and over 1000 heating cycles to 60 °C, offering strong potential for biomedical therapeutics , such as thermal ablation and electrochemotherapy.

Cellular instability of spherically expanding methanol/air flames was investigated in a constant-volume single-chamber cylindrical combustion vessel at initial temperatures of 373–423 K, initial pressures of 1–10 atm and equivalence ratios of 0.7–2.1. Flame morphology shows that the methanol/air flames suffer from cellular instability, especially at 5–10 atm. Stability analysis was performed to determine the logarithmic growth rate of disturbance, the critical Peclet number and the critical flame radius. The influences of initial temperature, initial pressure and equivalence ratio on cellular instability were analyzed to identify the influential factors. Both experimental results and stability analysis indicate cellular instability monotonically increases with increasing temperature or pressure and non-monotonically varies with increasing equivalence ratio. The reduced critical Peclet number and flame thickness slightly destabilize the flame surface as temperature increases. The almost unchanged critical Peclet number and the greatly reduced flame thickness with increasing pressure make the critical flame radius smaller and the flame surface more unstable at high pressures. The monotonically decreased critical Peclet number and the non-monotonically varied flame thickness result in the non-monotonic variation of cellular instability in methanol/air flames versus equivalence ratio. The critical flame radius consequently increases with increasing equivalence ratio under very rich conditions, while the corresponding flame surface becomes more smooth. The non-monotonic variation of cellular instability versus equivalence ratio is anticipated to exist widely in combustion of heavy fuels .

We reported herein the synthesis of block copolymers and their application in the in-situ emulsion polymerization of waterborne poly (urethane-acrylate) (WPUA) nanoemulsions based on phase inversion process. The polymerizable surfmers containing terminal unsaturated double bonds (MSA-r) were successfully synthesized via catalytic chain transfer polymerization (CCTP). Random copolymer (MSA-t) prepared through radical polymerization was utilized as control. The structure, surface tension and aggregation behavior of surfmers were characterized. The phase inversion, formation and stability of WPUA nanoemulsions were systematically investigated. Effects of MSA-r surfmer content and BMA/MMA ratio on the water resistance and thermal stability of the corresponding films were also discussed. It was found that the phase inversion mechanism of PUA prepolymer in the presence of MSA-r surfmers is different from conventional polyurethane prepolymer. The addition of MSA-r and MSA-t surfmers alters the rheological behaviors of PUA prepolymer via PUA-surfmer interactions, as well as the phase inversion process. Compared with WPUA/MSA-t emulsion, WPUA/MSA-r nanoemulsion displayed improved stability at higher solid content. The minimum particle size of WPUA/MSA-r nanoemulsion was 88.7 nm and kept almost constant after 12-month storage, while the particle size of WPUA/MSA-t emulsion was 131.3 nm and increased to 178.9 nm. Moreover, the WPUA/MSA-r film possessed improved water resistance and thermal stability.

To improve the reusability and organic solvent tolerance of microbial lipase and expand the application of lipase (hydrolysis, esterification, and transesterification), we immobilized marine microbial lipase using different methods and determined the properties of immobilized lipases. Considering the activity and cost of immobilized lipase, the concentration of lipase was fixed at 2 mg/mL. The optimal temperature of immobilized lipases was 40°C and 5°C higher than free lipase. The activities of immobilized lipases were much higher than free lipase at alkaline pH (more than 50% at pH 12). The free lipase lost most activity (35.3%) and immobilized lipases retained more than 46.4% of their initial activity after 3 h heat treatment at 70°C. At alkaline pH, immobilized lipases were more stable than free lipase (more than 60% residue activity at pH 11 for 3 h). Immobilized lipases retained 80% of their activity after 5 cycles and increased enzyme activity (more than 108.7%) after 3 h treatment in tert-butanol. Immobilization of lipase which improved reusability of lipase and provided a chance to expand the application of marine microbial lipase in organic system expanded the application range of lipase to catalyze hydrolysis and esterification in harsh condition.
