Ion Conduction Mechanism and Interfacial Stability in Fluorine Containing Lithium Argyrodite Electrolytes for Solid-State Lithium-Sulfur Batteries

Solid-state lithium-sulfur batteries (SSLSBs) hold great potential as a safe and energy-dense storage technology for wide variety of applications. Among solid-state electrolytes, halogen-doped lithium argyrodites have become an attractive category. This is attributed to their notable features, including high lithium-ion conductivity (~10-3 S/cm), favorable elastic stiffness (~ 30 GPa), and low flammability, making them promising candidates for enhancing the performance of SSLSBs.Despite their potential, SSLSBs based on sulfide faces challenges due to a limited atomic-scale understanding of ion-conduction, charge transport, structural evolution, and interfacial reactions such as dendrite growth, electrolyte decomposition. Here we employ a combination of density functional theory calculations, and ab initio molecular dynamics simulations to address this challenge for fluorinated argyrodites. Specifically, using accurate materials modeling, we design fluorine-containing argyrodite electrolytes that simultaneously offer enhanced (a) Li-ion conduction facilitated by unique Li-disorder induced by fluorine and other halogen co-dopants, and (b) stability against Li-anode owing to formation of a stable solid-electrolyte interface containing conductive species (Li3P), alongside LiCl and LiF. We will discuss these results in the context of accelerating design of novel solid-state electrolytes for long-lived, stable, and high-energy density SSLSBs.

N-type semiconducting hydrogel.

Hydrogels are an attractive category of biointerfacing materials with adjustable mechanical properties, diverse biochemical functions, and good ionic conductivity. Despite these advantages, their application in electronics has been restricted because of their lack of semiconducting properties, and they have traditionally only served as insulators or conductors. We developed single- and multiple-network hydrogels based on a water-soluble n-type semiconducting polymer, endowing conventional hydrogels with semiconducting capabilities. These hydrogels show good electron mobilities and high on/off ratios, enabling the fabrication of complementary logic circuits and signal amplifiers with low power consumption and high gains. We demonstrate that hydrogel electronics with good bioadhesive and biocompatible interface can sense and amplify electrophysiological signals with enhanced signal-to-noise ratios.

How Can Price Promotions Make Consumers More Interested? An Empirical Study from a Chinese Supermarket

Price promotions are commonly employed to enhance supermarket performance and the sustainable development of the retail industry, yet their effectiveness may vary among similar supermarket chains. In contrast to Western countries, Chinese supermarkets are typically community-centered, allowing consumers to make frequent visits due to lower transaction costs. This multiple-visit pattern discourages substantial one-time purchases based on promotions. This study aims to investigate how pricing promotions can attract consumers more effectively and which product categories are most suitable for this purpose. Utilizing scanner data from Chinese chain supermarkets, we empirically assess the impact of promotion depth, breadth, and duration on consumer purchasing behavior using fixed effects models, IV, and GMM methods. Furthermore, we identify product category characteristics that are more appealing to consumers based on the relationships between different product category promotions and consumer behavior. Results demonstrate that each of the three price-promotion features has a positive effect on Chinese supermarket performance, with varying degrees of significance. Different promotion methods not only benefit promoted products but also stimulate sales of non-promotional items. At the product level, the impact of supermarket promotions on performance differs across categories. The most attractive category in terms of consumer purchases influenced by discounts is special paper, while small kitchen appliances have the least impact. Promoting categories with lower average prices, higher average sales volumes, fewer products, and better storage durability is conducive to attracting consumer shopping. These empirical findings have implications for academic research on price promotion theory and supermarket managers’ pricing strategy decisions, as well as the sustainable development of the offline retail industry.

Microporous Polyelectrolyte Complexes by Hydroplastic Foaming.

Polyelectrolyte complexes (PECs) have emerged as an attractive category of materials for their water processability and some similarities to natural biopolymers. Herein, we employ the intrinsic hydroplasticity of PEC materials to enable the generation of porous structures with the aid of gas foaming. Such foamable materials are fabricated by simply mixing polycation, polyanion, and a UV-initiated chemical foaming agent in an aqueous solution, followed by molding into thin films. The gas foaming of the PEC films can be achieved upon exposure to UV illumination under water, where the films are plasticized and the gaseous products from the photolysis of foaming agents afford the formation, expanding, and merging of numerous bubbles. The porosity and morphology of the resulting porous films can be customized by tuning film composition, foaming conditions, and especially the degree of plasticizing effect, illustrating the high flexibility of this hydroplastic foaming method. Due to the rapid initiation of gas foaming, the present method enables the formation of porous structures via an instant one-step process, much more efficient than those existing strategies for porous PEC materials. More importantly, such a pore-forming mechanism might be extended to other hydroplastic materials (e.g., biopolymers) and help to yield hydroplasticity-based processing strategies.

More than skin deep: cyclic peptides as wound healing and cytoprotective compounds.

The prevalence and cost of wounds pose a challenge to patients as well as the healthcare system. Wounds can involve multiple tissue types and, in some cases, become chronic and difficult to treat. Comorbidities may also decrease the rate of tissue regeneration and complicate healing. Currently, treatment relies on optimizing healing factors rather than administering effective targeted therapies. Owing to their enormous diversity in structure and function, peptides are among the most prevalent and biologically important class of compounds and have been investigated for their wound healing bioactivities. A class of these peptides, called cyclic peptides, confer stability and improved pharmacokinetics, and are an ideal source of wound healing therapeutics. This review provides an overview of cyclic peptides that have been shown to promote wound healing in various tissues and in model organisms. In addition, we describe cytoprotective cyclic peptides that mitigate ischemic reperfusion injuries. Advantages and challenges in harnessing the healing potential for cyclic peptides from a clinical perspective are also discussed. Cyclic peptides are a potentially attractive category of wound healing compounds and more research in this field could not only rely on design as mimetics but also encompass de novo approaches as well.
