Review on polymer electrolytes for lithium‐sulfurized polyacrylonitrile batteries

AbstractLithium‐sulfur (Li‐S) batteries are deemed as the next generation of energy storage devices due to high theoretical specific capacity (1675 mAh g−1) and energy density (2600 Wh kg−1). However, the commercial application has always been constrained by lithium polysulfide (LiPSs) shuttling effects and still has a long way to go. Sulfurized polyacrylonitrile (SPAN) is a promising alternative candidate to replace traditional sulfur cathode and is conducive to eliminating LiPSs by realizing “solid‐solid” direct conversion in conventional carbonate electrolytes. However, an over 25% irreversible capacity loss is exhibited inevitably in the first discharge process, the inherent structure of SPAN and the related reaction mechanism remain unclear. In this review, the structure characteristics and electrochemical behaviors of SPAN are summarized for better interpreting current knowledge and favoring the design of high performance materials. In the past few decades, many problems in traditional Li‐S batteries have been solved by improving electrolytes. Polymer electrolytes (PEs) have been widely used due to structural designability, multi‐functionality, exceptional chemical stability, and excellent processability. Surprisingly, the relevant researches on PEs compatible with SPAN remains limited currently. Therefore, the recent modification strategies of gel polymer electrolytes and solid polymer electrolytes in Li‐SPAN batteries are introduced in terms of Li+ transfer and interface engineering, the design principles are concluded, the specific challenges encountered by polymer‐based electrolytes are summarized and the instructive directions for future research on PEs are demonstrated, facilitating the commercialization of Li‐SPAN batteries.

Constructing Sulfur‐Heterocyclic Aromatic Amine Polymer with Multiple‐Redox Active Sites for Long‐Lifespan and All‐Organic Aqueous Magnesium Ion Batteries

AbstractOrganic polymer materials have attracted much attention in rechargeable aqueous magnesium ion batteries (AMIBs) due to their sustainability and structural designability. However, the ionic storage capability is hindered by their insufficient redox‐active sites, dissolvability in aqueous electrolytes, and short‐range conjugated structures, resulting in low energy density and poor cycling stability. Herein, a sulfur‐heterocyclic aromatic polyimide‐based organic polymer (PTDBS) is constructed with multiple redox‐active sites and long‐range conjugate, which is employed as active material for AMIB anode, achieving an outstanding Mg2+ storage capability. Benefitting from the introduced thioether bonds, PTDBS possesses an enhanced electronic conductivity and additional redox‐active sites for reversible Mg2+ coordination, thus ensuring high redox activity and superior electron affinity. As a result, the PTDBS electrode delivers ultrafast and stable Mg2+ storage in an MgCl2 aqueous electrolyte with a superior rate capacity of 98.6 mA h g−1 at 10.0 A g−1, and remarkable cycling stability over 7500 cycles with a capacity retention rate of 90.0%. Notably, the all‐organic aqueous full cell, realized by coupling the PTDBS anode and the polyindole cathode, achieves a high energy density and long lifespan. This work lays the foundation for the development of highly stable all‐organic electrode materials for large‐scale aqueous energy storage.

Highly Branched Au Superparticles as Efficient Photothermal Transducers for Optical Neuromodulation.

Precise neuromodulation is critical for interrogating cellular communication and treating neurological diseases. Nanoscale transducers have emerged as effective interfaces to exert photothermal effects and modulate neural activities with a high spatiotemporal resolution. Ideal materials for this application should possess strong light absorption, high photothermal conversion efficiency, and great biocompatibility for clinical translation. Here, we show that the structurally designed 3D Au superparticles with a highly branched morphology can be promising candidates for nongenetic and remote neuromodulation. The structure-induced blackbody-like absorption endows Au superparticles with photothermal conversion efficiency over 90%, much higher than that of conventional Au nanorods. With the biocompatible polydopamine ligands, Au superparticles can be readily interfaced with primary mouse hippocampal neurons and other cells and can photostimulate or inhibit their activities in both cell networks or with a single-cell resolution. These findings highlight the importance of structural designs as powerful tools to promote the performance of plasmonic materials in neuromodulation and related research of neuroscience and neuroengineering.

Enhancing the electromagnetic shielding and mechanical properties of CF/PEEK composites via low-concentration fluff and Ni-Co alloy plating

Carbon Fiber Reinforced Composites (CFRC) are increasingly used in aircraft to minimize weight and maximize structural designability. However, CFRCs have limitations in electrical conductivity and Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) resistance. This study introduces a process to overcome these drawbacks by chemically plating Carbon Fiber (CF) fabrics with a thin layer of Nickel-Cobalt (Ni-Co) alloy, thereby improving electrical conductivity. Subsequently, Sulfonated Polyether Ether Ketone (SPEEK) was applied to the Nickel-Cobalt coated Carbon Fibers (NiCo@CF). The resulting fuzzy surface effectively enhanced the interfacial interactions within the PEEK matrix. The results showed that the tensile strength, tensile modulus, flexural strength, and flexural modulus of the composite panels treated with 0.1 wt.% SPEEK sizing significantly increased by 32.3 %, 26.0 %, 167.9 %, and 20.7 %, respectively, compared to NiCO@CF/PEEK composite panels treated with no SPEEK sizing agent. Additionally, the introduction of SPEEK fostered a shift in the primary fracture mechanism from fiber pull-out or debonding to fiber fracture. Remarkably, compared to CF/PEEK composites, the electromagnetic shielding efficiency of NiCo@CF/PEEK was increased by 88.98 %, reaching 46.15 dB. Long-term testing of the S-NiCO@CF/PEEK composites in a humid and hot environment confirmed consistent electromagnetic and mechanical properties, alongside good fatigue and aging resistance. These advances make the S-NiCO@CF/PEEK composites promising for broader applications in the aircraft and aerospace fields.

Experimental Investigation of Bridge Scour under Pressure Flow Conditions

Recent studies have revealed that the frequency and magnitude of floods tend to increase due to climate change. Hence, excessive scouring due to flood events puts river bridges at greater risk of failure. This paper presents the initial findings of an experimental study to improve the understanding of the main characteristics of bridge pier scour under pressurized flow encountered during flooding. The experiments were carried out in four main groups according to two deck alignments with circular and oblong pier shapes. For each group of experiments, thirty-six tests were conducted under partially and fully pressurized flow conditions using four approach flow depths and three discharge values. The validity of the structured design approach for pier scour estimation implemented in the guidelines was investigated. The results showed that the bridge pier scour depths were up to 29.4% and 49.4% greater than the sum of the vertical contraction and local scour depths for 100 L/s for partially and fully pressurized flow conditions, respectively. However, as the discharge increased to 120 L/s, the bridge pier scour depth became 38.3% and 17.8% smaller than the sum of the vertical contraction and local scour depths for partially and fully pressurized flow, respectively. So, the structured design approach was determined to be safe for high discharge values. Furthermore, it was found that tests with a circular pier resulted in higher bridge pier scour depths than the sum of the vertical contraction and local scour depths up to 19.3% even for 120 L/s. Conversely, smaller bridge pier scour depths than the sum of the vertical contraction and local scour depths were observed up to 17.8% for tests with oblong piers. Thus, it can be concluded that the pier shape has a profound effect on scour holes and oblong piers cause smaller scour depths than circular piers in pressurized flow conditions. This study showed that the flow–pier–deck interaction significantly affects the depth and width of the scour hole, especially for small discharges and fully pressurized flow conditions.

Implementing innovation in project-based learning in electro-mechanical engineering education

This study investigates the implementation of project-based learning (PBL) in electro-mechanical engineering education, emphasizing the modeling and application of an innovation process to enhance student engagement, motivation, and employability. Initially, the innovation process was systematically modeled using Structured Analysis and Design Technique (SADT) to manage and organize skills, knowledge, and resources effectively. This model was subsequently applied in an educational experience focused on highly technical aspects such as energy conversion modeling, mechanical improvements, material science, and efficiency analysis. These aspects were primarily applied in the context of permanent magnet synchronous machines employed in electric vehicle (EV) axles. The SADT modeling allowed for a clear delineation of the innovation phases, ensuring a structured approach to project execution. Statistical analysis of the PBL approach indicated significant improvements in student performance, with a 25% increase in problem-solving skills and a 30% enhancement in critical thinking abilities. The case study demonstrated that industry-oriented projects significantly boost student satisfaction, particularly in problem definition and solution identification, leading to a more engaging and effective learning experience.

Development of Algebra Test Using the Item Response Theory Approach for Junior High School Students

This research aims to develop valid and reliable measuring tool for students' algebraic abilities that can be used in schools and the general public. The research follows a structured test development design, including stages such as preparing test specifications and items, field testing, revising items, and test development. The questions are aligned with the 2013 curriculum syllabus, ensuring relevance to educational standards. The test was given to 662 junior high school students in Kendari City, Indonesia, and their responses were analyzed using the item response theory (IRT) model with two logistic parameters: item difficulty level and item discriminatory power. The BILOG MG program was employed to estimate item and ability parameters. Before conducting item analysis with IRT, essential assumption tests were conducted, including unidimensional and model fit tests. The results of the development process, based on item analysis using BILOG MG, yielded 15 items covering various aspects of algebraic abilities. These items were derived from indicators such as recognizing algebraic forms, identifying elements within these forms, performing addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division operations on algebraic forms, presenting and solving real-world problems in algebraic contexts, and addressing contextual problems involving algebraic operations. The items demonstrated good fit with the model and exhibited an appropriate level of item difficulty and discriminatory power, making them suitable for use as a reliable assessment tool. Consequently, these developed tests are deemed effective for measuring students' foundational algebraic abilities.

Two-Level regulation photocatalytic activity of Bi2WO6/COFs with ligand engineering and piezoelectric field for Highly-Efficient degradation of antibiotics

Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) have attracted significant attention in photocatalytic water purification due to their structural designability and sufficiently negative conduction band edges. However, the limited oxidation capacity of single COFs and the low utilization rate of photogenerated carriers result in suboptimal catalytic activity. To address these challenges, we propose a two-level regulation strategy that involves ligand engineering and the introduction of a piezoelectric field to enhance the photocatalytic performance of COF-based photocatalysts. In this study, we combined the piezoelectric material Bi2WO6 with COFs modified with different ligands to design a series of Bi2WO6/R-COFs (R=H, F, CH3O) heterojunctions. Modifying COFs with –OCH3 functional group tuned the local electron distribution, thereby remarkably improving photogenerated electrons transfer rate constant. Besides, the incorporation of Bi2WO6 generated a piezoelectric field under ultrasound, which provides a strong driving force for photocatalytic. Meanwhile, the construction of the heterojunctions offered multi-channel for the generation of reactive oxygen species. As a result, the photocatalytic degradation rate of Bi2WO6/CH3O-COFs reached 93.5 % toward sulfamethoxazole within 48 min under ultrasound-coupled light irradiation, which is nearly three times higher than Bi2WO6/H-COFs. Furthermore, Bi2WO6/CH3O-COFs demonstrated superior degradation performance for other pollutants, including p-chlorophenol, bisphenol A, tetracycline, and phenol, with degradation efficiencies of 99.0 %, 98.4 %, 93.5 % and 88.1 %, respectively. This work proposes a two-level modulation strategy that significantly enhances the antibiotic degradation performance of COF-based catalysts, offering a new perspective for the design of photocatalysts for environmental remediation.

Investigation of the effect of elbow pipes of Ti6Al4V, 304 stainless steel, AZ91 materials on erosion corrosion by finite element analysis

Corrosion is the degradation of metals caused by chemical or electrochemical reactions with their environment. As a result of these reactions, undesirable conditions occur in the physical, chemical, mechanical and electrical properties of metals. These conditions cause parts made of metallic materials to become unusable. Erosion corrosion is one of the most common types of corrosion in fluid transfer. There are several methods for preventing erosion corrosion. First of all, some precautions should be taken to prevent wear. Intervention is very important in terms of cost, especially at the design stage. Measures such as wide angle bends, wall thickness of wear-resistant material and corrosion allowance can be taken, especially in applications where the flow direction needs to be changed. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of liquid fluid on erosion corrosion in Ti6Al4V, 304 stainless steel and MgAz91 elbow pipes by using the computer aided and finite element based AnsysWorkbench Explicit Dynamics module. For the design of the elbow pipe, SolidWorks was used for 3D studies. In the analysis of the pipe, the suitability of the pipe for the 3D model was examined. The effect of fluid rotation on the pipe walls and the effect of the pipe material on the flow along the pipe were determined. The standard k-e model based on the velocity-pressure relationship in continuous and steady flow was used for the flow calculations. The flow simulation showed that for all models the flow accumulation after rotation was more concentrated on the opposite walls of the pipe, as expected. The results obtained showed that the deformation in MgAZ91 material had the highest value at 9.14 × 10−8 mm. This situation has been interpreted to mean that it may vary depending on the flow rate automation. Designs on the old designs in the erosion structure of the liquid that occurs in the pipes with a new product design in the analysis design.

Dual-active sites and reversible-structural covalent organic framework for highly stable alkali metal-ion batteries

Organic materials are promising candidates for energy storage due to their sustainability, environmental friendliness, and structural designability. However, their application is severely limited due to short lifespan and sluggish kinetics caused by low redox stability, solubility, and low electronic conductivity. Here, we designed a polyimide-conjugated covalent organic framework (NAA-COF). Its highly covalent framework cannot only endow the organic material with strong π–π interactions and robust network ensuring its structure stability, but also offer open channels for rapid ions/electrons transfer inside. Additionally, the introduction of multiple redox-active sites can significantly enhance ion-storage capacity. Consequently, when evaluated as a cathode for Li-ion batteries, NAA-COF exhibits large capacity of 220mAh/g, superb initial coulombic efficiency (90 %), good voltage platform, long lifespan (10000 cycles), and high-rate performance (110 mAh/g at 10 A/g). More importantly, even for Na-/K-ion batteries, the exceptional electrochemical performances can still be maintained. In situ transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and in/ex situ spectroscopy further elucidate the low volume expansion (12.2 %) during the lithiation process and 8-electron reaction mechanism for the NAA-COF cathode. This work provides a high-performance universal COF cathode material that can simultaneously satisfy the requirements of alkali metal-ion batteries.

Cellulose nanofiber powered interface engineering strategy to manufacture mechanically stable, moldable, recyclable, and biodegradable cellulose foam

In this work, an ingenious and energy-efficient interface engineering strategy is developed to manufacture pulp cellulose foam via incorporating cellulose nanofiber/alkyl ketene dimer (CNF/AKD) Pickering emulsions. In this strategy, CNF/AKD emulsion can uniformly anchor onto pulp microfiber surface, not only achieving interfacial exoskeleton reinforcement, but also enabling low energy surface, which facilitates the direct and large-scale production of lightweight pulp/CNF/AKD (PCA) foam by oven drying without requiring any harmful crosslinking chemistries. By simply regulating the mass fractions of CNF and AKD in emulsion, the prepared PCA foams can achieve excellent and tunable 3D porous structure, mechanical performance, water resistance and wet stability. The dry compressive modulus and wet compressive modulus underwater of PCA foams with low density of 0.09 g/cm3 can reach 0.67 and 0.57 MPa, respectively. Even 1 week in water, the compressive modulus still retains 76.2 % of initial modulus. Notably, the proposed interface engineering strategy provides remarkable formability, moldability and structural designability, enabling cellulose foam to be customized into complex and delicate 3D macroscopic structures for different scenarios. Furthermore, the PCA foam displays economically feasible closed-loop recyclability by easy hot-water disintegration and natural biodegradability in soil. Therefore, this work proves a cost-effective and viable interface engineering strategy for scalable production of lightweight, mechanically stable, recyclable, biodegradable cellulose foams with high environmental benefits and low petrochemical consumption.

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) receive wide attention owing to their high specific surface area, porosity, and structural designability. In this paper, ZC-Ru and ZC-Cu electrodes loaded with monatomic Ru and Cu doped with nitrogen were prepared by pyrolysis, ion impregnation, and carbonization process using ZIF-8 synthesized by static precipitation as a precursor. ZC-Cu has a high specific surface area of 859.78 m2 g-1 and abundant heteroatoms O (10.04%) and N (13.9%), showing the specific capacitance of 222.21 F g-1 at 0.1 A g-1 in three-electrode system, and low equivalent series resistance (Rct: 0.13 Ω), indicating excellent energy storage capacity and electrical conductivity. After 10,000 cycles at 1 A g-1 in 6 M KOH electrolyte, it still has an outstanding capacitance retention of 99.42%. Notably, symmetric supercapacitors ZC-Cu//ZC-Cu achieved the maximum power density and energy density of 485.12 W·kg-1 and 1.61 Wh·kg-1, respectively, positioning ZC-Cu among the forefront of previously known MOF-based electrode materials. This work demonstrates the enormous potential of ZC-Cu in the supercapacitor industry and provides a facile approach to the treatment of transition metal.

Two multi-functional luminescent complexes for selective and sensitive detection of metal ions and antibiotics

Complexes have enormous potential in many fields such as fluorescence sensing due to their structural adjustability and designability. Herein, two novel complexes, namely, {[Zn(HPA)(LBTX)].H2O}n (1) and {[Cd(HPA)(LBTX)].H2O}n (2) (LBTX = 4,4′-bis (1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl) methyl-1,1′-biphenyl, H2HPA = Homophthalic) were produced using solvothermal method. Zn2+ ions are connected with carboxyl groups of H2HPA to form an infinitely extended 1D chain, which is further connected by the LBTX ligand to form a 2D network structure. There are weak hydrogen bond networks in the structure of complex 1, which are accumulated 3D structures. Complex 2 and Complex 1 have similar properties in structure. Both the two luminescent complexes exhibit varying degrees of recognition for Cr2O72− / CrO42− and Fe3+, as well as ODZ / NFZ antibiotics. In the presence of various interfering substances such as antibiotics and metal ions, it exhibits good sensitivity and high selectivity towards the substrates. In addition, the fitting curve intuitively shows the selective detection effect of two complexes on CrO42− / Cr2O72− / Fe3+, ODZ / NFZ. This work provides a reference for exploring the potential applications of luminescent complexes in the field of chemical sensing.

Pyrene-4,5,9,10-tetraone-based covalent organic framework/carbon nanotube composite as sodium-ion cathodes with high-rate capability

Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) have attracted significant interest in the field of rechargeable batteries on account of their unique properties, including robust frameworks, well-defined porosity, abundant redox-active sites, and flexible structure designability. However, the limited active site utilization and low electrical conductivity always bring about poor electrochemical performance, thereby hindering practical applications. Herein, we reported a pyrene-4,5,9,10-tetraone-based covalent organic framework composite (Tp-PTO-COF@CNTs) grown on multi-walled carbon nanotubes via in-situ polycondensation. The Tp-PTO-COF@CNTs with numerous active sites (C=O groups) and strong π-π interaction between CNTs and COFs could accommodate more Na-ions and boost structural stability. Moreover, the existence of 1D CNTs could improve electronic conductivity, which facilitates fast transport of electrons and enhances reaction kinetics. In view of the two synergistic effects, Tp- PTO-COF@CNTs cathode displays an outstanding sodium-ion storage property with high initial capacity of 223.2 mA h/g at 0.1 A/g, remarkable rate capability at as high as 20 A/g, and ultra-long cycling stability (163.0 mA h/g exceeding 5000 cycles at 5 A/g). Furthermore, the ex-situ measurements are proposed to better confirm the role of carbonyl groups as redox-active centers. Such ultra-stable structural advantage might inspire the development of COF cathode materials for sodium-ion batteries.

Achieving ultrastrong adhesion of soft materials by discretized stress dispersion

The adhesion of soft materials often fails due to stress concentration at the interface. Structural design offers an effective approach to disperse stress at the interface and enhance adhesion properties. Herein, we introduce the concept of discretized stress dispersion to achieve ultrastrong adhesion of soft materials. This involves incorporating discrete structures at the adhesion interface, with each unit structure designed to efficiently disperse stress. We implement this concept by introducing periodic strategic cuts into the adhesive, enabling it to deform into discrete mushroom-shaped structures under peel forces. Utilizing fracture mechanics theory, we demonstrate that such structural design can significantly improve adhesion strength compared to adhesives without structural design. Through 3D printing, we fabricate adhesive samples with strategic cuts, achieving a peak peel force of 3479 N/m, over 100-fold higher than adhesives without cuts (25 N/m). We analyzed stress dispersion of each unit structure through experiments of with different geometric parameters and analyze collaborative effects of multiple structures with theoretical model. Finite element analysis of the peel process highlights the critical role of cohesive zone influenced by geometric parameters, which determines the peak peel force. This concept of discretized stress dispersion advances the development of soft materials with ultrastrong adhesion.

Cascade Electrocatalytic Reduction of Nitrate to Ammonia Using a Heterobimetallic Covalent Organic Framework Composed of Cu-Porphyrin and Co-Bipyridine.

The electrocatalytic reduction of nitrate (NO3-) to ammonia (NH3) not only offers an effective solution to environmental problems caused by the accumulation of NO3- but also provides a sustainable alternative to the Haber-Bosch process. However, the conversion of NO3- to NH3 is a complicated process involving multiple steps, leading to a low Faradaic efficiency (FE) for NH3 production. The structural designability of covalent organic frameworks (COFs) renders feasible and precise modulation at the molecular level, facilitating the incorporation of multiple well-defined catalytic sites with different reactivities into a cohesive entity. This promotes the efficiency of the overall reaction through the coupling of multistep reactions. Herein, heterobimetallic CuP-CoBpy was prepared by postmodification, involving the anchoring of cobalt ions to the CuP-Bpy structure. As a result of the cascade effect of the bimetallic sites, CuP-CoBpy achieved an outstanding NH3 yield of 13.9 mg h-1 mgcat.-1 with a high FE of 96.7% at -0.70 V versus the reversible hydrogen electrode and exhibited excellent stability during catalysis. A series of experimental and theoretical studies revealed that the CuP unit facilitates the conversion of NO3- to NO2-, while the CoBpy moiety significantly prompts the reduction of NO2- to NH3. This study demonstrates that tailoring the structural units for the construction of COFs based on each step in the multistep reaction can enhance both the catalytic activity and product selectivity of the overall process.

A systematic review of the impact of therapeutic education programs on the quality of life of people with Multiple Sclerosis.

Faced with a deemed mediocre quality of life (QoL) in people with multiple sclerosis (pwMS), the effectiveness of therapeutic education (TPE) programs is called into question. This systematic review is conducted to examine the impact of the TPE programs on the QoL of pwMS. A search was performed in three databases (PubMed, Web of Science and Scopus) to identify relevant studies published between 2007 and 2022. The review followed the PRISMA guidelines. Two reviewers independently extracted data on the study and program characteristics. These data were presented in tables for detailed synthesis and descriptive analyses. The selected studies underwent assessment using recommended evaluation tools. Of the 21 studies included in the review, 13 found a significant improvement in QoL, which was maintained during follow-up testing in 42% of the studies. TPE programs that focused on patients' individual needs and aimed to develop their skills in a personalized manner appeared to promote QoL. Interaction formats (individual, group, remote), session duration [range=1.5-28] and number of sessions [range=1-18] varied between the studies reviewed. Thoughtful, structured design of educational programs requires a match between the educational aspects specific to each individual and the appropriate choice of content, delivery modalities of the interventions and evaluation protocol, as well as a reasonable follow-up time. The conclusions drawn could serve as guidelines to direct future research towards optimal educational interventions. PROSPERO CRD42022338651.
