An ultrastable lithium metal anode enabled by designed metal fluoride spansules by Yuan, Huadong, Nai, Jianwei, Tian, He, Ju, Zhijin, Zhang, Wenkui, Liu, Yujing, Tao, Xinyong, Lou, David Xiong Wen

“…Here, we design “spansules” made of NaMg(Mn)F3@C core@shell microstructures as the matrix for the LMA, which can offer a long-lasting release of functional ions into the electrolyte. By the assistance of cryogenic transmission electron microscopy, we reveal that an in situ–formed metal layer and a unique LiF-involved bilayer structure on the Li/electrolyte interface would be beneficial for effectively suppressing the growth of lithium dendrites. …”

Electrochromic smart window for modulation of infrared heat by Loke, Jie Yi

“…The improved electrochromic performance is due the existence of Nd-Mo co-dopants that restrict the trapping of Li+ ions within the α-WO3 framework. This reduces the degree of crystallization of α-WO3 layer and improves the electronic conductivity by transferring excess electrons to the conduction band of the SnO2. …”

Development of an ultra-stretchable double-network hydrogel for flexible strain sensors by Li, Huijun, Zheng, Han, Tan, Yu Jun, Tor, Shu Beng, Zhou, Kun

“…A double-network (DN) hydrogel has been developed by combining an ionically crosslinked agar network, a covalently crosslinked acrylic acid (AAC) network, and a dynamic and reversible ionically crosslinked coordination between AAC chains and Fe3+ ions. A model has been proposed to reveal the mechanism of the improved mechanical properties in the DN agar/AAC–Fe3+ hydrogel. …”

Antifungal drug itraconazole targets VDAC1 to modulate the AMPK/mTOR signaling axis in endothelial cells by Head, Sarah A., Shi, Wei, Zhao, Liang, Gorshkov, Kirill, Pasunooti, Kalyan, Chen, Yue, Deng, Zhiyou, Li, Ruo-jing, Shim, Joong Sup, Tan, Wenzhi, Hartung, Thomas, Zhang, Jin, Zhao, Yingming, Colombini, Marco, Liu, Jun O.

“…Here we identify the major target of itraconazole in endothelial cells as the mitochondrial protein voltage-dependent anion channel 1 (VDAC1), which regulates mitochondrial metabolism by controlling the passage of ions and small metabolites through the outer mitochondrial membrane. …”

Mussel-inspired approach to cross-linked functional 3D nanofibrous aerogels for energy-efficient filtration of ultrafine airborne particles by Zhang, Youfang, Zeng, Zhihui, Ma, Daphne Xiu Yun, Zhao, Chenyang, Ang, Jia Ming, Ng, Bing Feng, Wan, Man Pun, Wong, Shing-Chung, Wang, Zhe, Lu, Xuehong

“…Herein, inspired by mussel glue, cross-linked threedimensional (3D) polyacrylonitrile (PAN) nanofibrous aerogels (NFAs) with ultrahigh porosity, hierarchical porous structures, and good compression resistance are successfully fabricated via electrospinning, facile polydopamine (PDA) coating and crosslinking by ferric ions (Fe3+) followed by freeze-drying. Morphology characterization andcompression tests showthatboth multiplehydrogen bondingfacilitated bythePDA coating and Fe3+-PDA coordination bonding could effectively induce the formation of inter-fiber junctions, enhancing compression resistanceofthe3DNFAsandleadingtohierarchical porousstructureswithaverywidePSD.When a thin layer of the optimized 3D NFA with a large specific surface area (85.7m2g−1) is combined with a commercial air filter, the composite filter obtained exhibits high filtration efficiencies of 99.72% and 99.85% for airborne particles with sizes of<100nm and<500nm, respectively, at a low pressure drop of only 54.1Pa. …”
