Interfacial modulation strategy using poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)–poly(4-styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) and ultrathin two-dimensional metal–organic framework nanosheets for wearable supercapacitors: Solution engineering

Two-dimensional metal–organic frameworks (2D MOFs) hold great promise as electrochemically active materials. However, their application in MOF nanocomposite electrodes in solution engineering is limited by structural self-stacking and imperfect conductive pathways. In this study, we used meso-tetra(4-carboxyphenyl) porphine (TCPP) with off-domain π-bonds to reconstitute Zn-TCPP (ZMOF) and poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) polystyrene sulfonate (PEDOT:PSS) through an interfacial modulation strategy involving electrostatic coupling and hydrogen bonding, creating a conductive composite with a nanosheet structure. The negatively charged PSS and ZMOF formed a three-dimensional interconnected conductive network with excellent interfaces. The positively charged PEDOT, fine tuned with the lamellar structure, established strong π-π stacking interactions between the porphyrin and thiophene rings. ZMOF also induced changes in the PEDOT chain structure, weakening PSS entanglement and enhancing charge-transport properties. The specific capacitance of the prepared supercapacitor was as high as 967.8 F g−1. Flexible supercapacitors produced on a large scale using dispensing printing technology exhibited an energy density of 1.85 μWh cm−2 and a power density of 7.08 μW cm−2. This interfacial modulation strategy also exhibited excellent wearable properties, with 96 % capacitance retention at a 180° bending angle and stable cycling performance. This study presented a significant advancement in the functionalization of 2D materials, highlighting their potential for device-grade capacitive architectures.

Synergistic structural engineering of 3D printed matchable electrodes for long-life rechargeable nickel–bismuth batteries

Aqueous rechargeable alkaline batteries have attracted increasing attention due to their reliable safety, low cost and high electrochemical potential. However, it remains challenging to construct remarkable rechargeable batteries with desirable electrode architectures and optimized electrochemical mechanisms. Herein, 3D printed high-loading bismuth-based anodes with synergistic enhancement of three-dimensional interconnection network structure and oxygen vacancies is achieved, for which intrinsic battery charge storage mechanism is in-depth unveiled. The synergistic structural engineering significantly enhances the overall charge carrier transport of 3D printed nickel-bismuth batteries, as evidenced by the conductivity of a single-wired electrode, enabling nickel-bismuth batteries to achieve a high areal capacity of 0.17 mA h cm−2 at 6 mA cm−2, a high energy density of 97.92 μWh cm−2 and a power density of 6.41 mW cm−2. Moreover, superior cycling stability is obtained. Ex situ characterization results reveal that Bi2O2.33 undergoes a phase transition after the initial charge and discharge, while the subsequent cycles rely on the reversible phase transition mechanism between Bi and Bi2O3 for basic charge storage. The exceptional performance and revealed mechanism of 3D printed batteries offer novel ideas and understanding for constructing future rechargeable nickel-bismuth batteries with state-of-the-art behaviors.

Constructing phonon transport bridges via low-temperature sintering in Diamond@Ag/EP composite to achieve efficient 3D networks structure

The rapid advancement of integrated circuits and electronic devices presents challenges to traditional epoxy molding compound (EMC), necessitating the demand for highly thermally conductive yet electrically insulating composites to address the “hotspot issues” in high-power chips. Here, a low-temperature sintering technology based on metal–organic decomposition is developed to fabricate a three-dimensional interconnected networks structure composite (3D-Diamond@Ag/EP). The in-situ decomposition of the silver amine complex on the surface of the Diamond@Ag hybrid filler forms nano-silver bridges, which facilitate the successful construction of the three-dimensional networks structure. When the Ag reaches 4.0 vol%, the thermal conductivity of the composite (reaches 6.42 W/m·K) breaks out of the low numerical blockade of the epoxy resin (0.18 W/m·K), while maintaining excellent insulation performance. It is noteworthy that the great improvement of thermal conductivity is achieved by the synergistic effect of sufficient thermal pathways and minimizing interfacial thermal resistance along these paths. Moreover, this work obtained composite exhibits other excellent thermal characteristics. It provided a practical route to produce high thermal conductivity polymer-based composites with electrical insulation for heat management in modern electronic devices.

Preparation of β-cyclodextrin/PVDF composite films for efficient adsorption of Cu2+

Water pollution issues are becoming more and more serious, particularly those caused by heavy metal ions. In this paper, β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) and polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) were chosen to prepare composite films by electrospinning technology. The microstructure, crystalline phases, mechanical properties, porosity, and adsorption performance of β-CD/PVDF composite films were analyzed. The results show that the β-CD/PVDF composite fibers were smooth and randomly deposited to form an interconnected three-dimensional network structure. The diameter of the β-CD/PVDF composite fibers ranged from 0.22 to 0.33 μm, and the fiber diameter distribution was uniform. The maximum porosity was 79.56% when the content of β-CD was 2%. After adding the β-CD, the tensile strength increased to 13.33 MPa and the elongation at break increased to 14.20% as well. With the β-CD content increasing, the adsorption capacity of the β-CD/PVDF composite films for Cu2+ increased to 182.65 mg g−1. In addition, the second-order kinetic model was suitable to describe the adsorption process, and the chemical adsorption was the predominant mechanism of the adsorption process due to the presence of β-CD. The results suggest that the β-CD/PVDF composite films may be a potential adsorbent for Cu2+ adsorption.

Biodegradable hydrogel with excellent portability, stability and anti-pollution performance in solar-driven seawater desalination

Solar-driven interfacial evaporation technology holds great potential for efficiently utilizing solar energy to convert untapped water sources into clean water. This study developed a cellulose nanofiber (CNF)/polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)/multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) hydrogel-based evaporator (PCC) using low-cost wood pulp cellulose as the raw material. The experimental results revealed that the PCC hydrogel evaporator achieved a water evaporation rate of 1.61 kg·m−2·h−1 under 1 sun irradiation (solar intensity of 1 kW·m−2). Assisted by the three-dimensional interconnected hydrophilic network, the hydrogel exhibited excellent water supply capabilities, with water transport dominating within the hydrogel, enabling continuous steam generation from seawater. And the water layer formed by the super-hydrophilic pore wall structure was also beneficial to activating water, promoting the diffusion of high-concentration salt water, and enhancing the underwater oil repellent ability. After multiple compression-recovery performance tests, the PCC maintained stable evaporation performance, which greatly enhanced portability during use. In addition, the application of PCC evaporators in the fields of seawater desalination, wastewater treatment, and agricultural irrigation had shown excellent results, confirming the potential application value of this evaporator. Combined with its environmental friendliness, cost-effectiveness, and other advantages, it had broad development prospects.

Sustainable and ultrafast antibiotics removal, self-cleaning and disinfection with electroactive metal-organic frameworks/carbon nanotubes membrane

Although conventional nanofiltration (NF) membrane is widely applied in water treatment, it faces the challenges of insufficient selectivity toward emerging contaminants, low permeability and non-sustainable fouling control. Herein, a novel electroactive metal-organic frameworks/carbon nanotubes membrane was constructed by facile and green nanobubbles-mediated non-solvent-induced phase separation (NIPS) strategy for ultrafast antibiotics removal. It presented 3-fold to 100-fold higher permeability (101.3–105.7 L·h−1·m−2·bar−1) without compromising rejection (71.8 %−99.3 %) of common antibiotics (tetracycline, norfloxacin, sulfamethoxazole, sulfamethazine) than most commercial and state-of-the-art NF membranes. The separation mechanism was due to the synergy of loose selective layer with three-dimensional interconnected networks and UiO-66/CNTs with unique pore sieving and charge property. It also presented excellent antibiotics selectivity with high NaCl/tetracycline separation factor of 194 and CuCl2/tetracycline separation factor of 316 for remediation of antibiotics and heavy metal combined pollution. Meanwhile, it possessed efficient anti-fouling, antibacterial and electro-driven self-cleaning ability, which enabled sustainable fouling control and disinfection with short process, low energy and chemical consumption. Furthermore, potential application of UiO-66/CNTs membrane in wastewater reclamation was demonstrated by stable antibiotics rejection, efficient flux recovery and long-term stability over 260 h. This study would provide useful insights into removal of emerging contaminants from water by advanced NF membrane.

Reusable multifunctional interlayer for dendrite-free and ultrastable zinc anodes via regulating zinc-ion transport and inhibiting hydrogen evolution

The practical application of zinc anodes in aqueous zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs) is hindered due to uncontrollable dendritic Zn deposition and side reactions. Herein, a reusable interlayer constructed from Sn nanoparticles-modified polyhydroxy semi-carbonized bacterial cellulose (Sn@PHCBC) with three-dimensional interconnected network structure is proposed to achieve sustainable and smooth regulation of zinc anode. The suppression of dendrites is primarily attributed to the uniform Zn ions flux constructed by reversible Sn-Zn alloy nanoparticles channel, as well as the targeted transport and rapid desolvation of hydrated zinc ions through hydroxyl groups of PHCBC. Additionally, the abundant high overpotential Sn nanoparticles anchored in Sn@PHCBC interlayer effectively inhibit the hydrogen evolution reaction and minimize the formation of byproducts. As a result, the Zn||Zn symmetrical cell assembled with Sn@PHCBC interlayer demonstrates highly reversible electroplating/stripping behavior with an extended lifespan of 800 h at high current densities of 10 mA cm−2 and 10 mAh cm−2. Besides, after 1000 cycles of MnO2||Sn@PHCBC//Zn full cell, the Sn@PHCBC interlayer can still be reused with nearly 100 % coulombic efficiency after simple treatment. The rational design in this work provides a feasible solution for high-performance ZIBs and promote the development of advanced energy storage devices reutilization.

Geometrical properties of three-dimensional crossed nanowire networks

Three-dimensional interconnected nanowire networks have recently attracted notable attention for the fabrication of new devices for energy harvesting/storage, sensing, catalysis, magnetic and spintronic applications, and for the design of new hardware neuromorphic computing architectures. However, the complex branching of these nanowire networks makes it challenging to investigate these 3D nanostructured systems theoretically. Here, we present a theoretical description and simulations of the geometric properties of these 3D interconnected nanowire networks with selected characteristics. Our analysis reveals that the nanowire segment length between two crossing zones follows an exponential distribution. This suggests that shorter nanowire segments have a more pronounced influence on the nanowire network properties compared to their longer counterparts. Moreover, our observations reveal a homogeneous distribution in the smallest distance between the cores of two crossing nanowires. The results are highly reproducible and unaffected by changes in the nanowire network characteristics. The density of crossing zones and interconnected nanowire segments is found to vary as the square of the nanowire density multiplied by their diameter, further multiplied by a factor dependent on the packing factor. Finally, densities of interconnected segments up to 1013cm−2 can be achieved for 22-µm-thick nanowire networks with high packing factors. This has important implications for neuromorphic computing applications, suggesting that the realization of 1014 interconnections, which corresponds to the approximate number of synaptic connections in the human brain, is achievable with a nanowire network of about 10cm2.

Oral bone defects occur as a result of trauma, cancer, infections, periodontal diseases, and caries. Autogenic and allogenic grafts are the gold standard used to treat and regenerate damaged or defective bone segments. However, these materials do not possess the antimicrobial properties necessary to inhibit the invasion of the numerous deleterious pathogens present in the oral microbiota. In the present study, poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL), nano-hydroxyapatite (nHAp), and a commercial extract of Humulus lupulus L. (hops) were electrospun into polymeric matrices to assess their potential for drug delivery and bone regeneration. The fabricated matrices were analyzed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), tensile analysis, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), FTIR assay, and in vitro hydrolytic degradation. The antimicrobial properties were evaluated against the oral pathogens Streptococcus mutans, Porphyromonas gingivalis, and Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans. The cytocompatibility was proved using the MTT assay. SEM analysis established the nanostructured matrices present in the three-dimensional interconnected network. The present research provides new information about the interaction of natural compounds with ceramic and polymeric biomaterials. The hop extract and other natural or synthetic medicinal agents can be effectively loaded into PCL fibers and have the potential to be used in oral applications.

Bacterial cellulose is a naturally occurring polysaccharide that is produced by acetic acid bacteria. It has become increasingly popular due to its numerous biotechnological applications. Bacterial cellulose is free from contaminants that are often associated with plant cellulose. This study aims at isolation of bacterial cellulose producing microbial strains from rotten fruits. The selected bacterial cellulose producer was identified using biochemical tests, including biochemical, carbohydrate fermentation, morphology, gram staining and 16S rRNA sequence analysis. Furthermore, several different media were evaluated for higher production of cellulose. The produced cellulose sheets were washed, purified and characterized using various analytical techniques, including FTIR, XRD and SEM analysis. A potential high bacterial cellulose yielding microbial strain was isolated from coconut pulp waste and identified as Komagataeibacter saccharivorans strain BC-C1 using 16S rRNA sequencing. Effect of media components on bacterial cellulose production was studied. The isolate yielded 0.52 g/100 mL with Hestrin-Schramm (HS) culture media (designated as M1) and 1.10 g/100 mL in M5 media. The physico-chemical characterization demonstrated that produced bacterial cellulose sheets show characteristics IR bands and three-dimensional fibrillar interconnected network structure. The study revealed that isolated Komagataeibacter saccharivorans strain BC-C1 can be utilized for large scale production of bacterial cellulose.

Ultrasensitive electrochemical sensing platform based on Zr-based MOF embellished single-wall carbon nanotube networks for trace analysis of methyl parathion

In this work, a novel electrochemical sensor was designed based on Zr-based metal–organic framework (UIO-66) nanoparticles embellished single-wall carbon nanotube networks (SCN) for the detection of methyl parathion (MP). The synergistic combination of SCN and UIO-66 nanoparticles could fully exert each advantage to boost the MP electrochemical sensing analysis performance. SCN with one-dimensional hollow nanostructures formed three-dimensional interconnected carbon conductive networks, which possessed excellent conductive properties and acceptable specific surface area, enabling efficient transport of electrons and ions. UIO-66 nanoparticles with Zr-OH groups contributes and porous structure to the good affinity for phosphate groups on MP molecules, which enhanced the selective recognition and enrichment capability of sensing electrode towards MP. Under the multifunctional integration of SCN and UIO-66 nanoparticles, the SCN@UIO-66/GCE sensor could present satisfactory MP electrochemical detection performance (LOD: 8.05 nM, linear MP concentration range: 0.01–10 μM). The satisfactory practical property was realized at the SCN@UIO-66/GCE sensor with satisfactory recovery rates of 98.28–101.95 % and low RSD of 1.23–3.01 % for the electrochemical detection of MP in orange juice and lettuce samples.

Thermoelectric and magneto-transport characteristics of interconnected networks of ferromagnetic nanowires and nanotubes

Macroscopic-scale nanostructures, situated at the interface of nanostructures and bulk materials, hold significant promise in the realm of thermoelectric materials. Nanostructuring presents a compelling avenue for enhancing material thermoelectric performance as well as unlocking intriguing nanoscale phenomena, including spin-dependent thermoelectric effects. This is achieved while preserving high power output capabilities and ease of measurements related to the overall macroscopic dimensions. Within this framework, the recently developed three-dimensional interconnected nanowire and nanotube networks, integrated into a flexible polymer membrane, emerge as promising candidates for macroscopic nanostructures. The flexibility of these composites also paves the way for advances in the burgeoning field of flexible thermoelectrics. In this study, we demonstrate that the three-dimensional nanowire networks made of ferromagnetic metals maintain the intrinsic bulk thermoelectric power of their bulk constituent even for a diameter reduced to approximately 23 nm. Furthermore, we showcase the pioneering magneto-thermoelectric measurements of three-dimensional interconnected nickel nanotube networks. These macroscopic materials, comprising interconnected nanotubes, enable the development of large-area devices that exhibit efficient thermoelectric performance, while their nanoscale tubular structures provide distinctive magneto-transport properties. This research represents a significant step toward harnessing the potential of macroscopic nanostructured materials in the field of thermoelectrics.

The np-Cu11Sn1 catalyst exhibits a three-dimensional interconnected ligament-channel network structure, which can efficiently convert CO2 to formate with a Faradaic efficiency (FE) of 72.1% at -1.0 V (vs. RHE).

Fibre crosslinking drives the emergence of order in a three-dimensional dynamical network model.

The extracellular-matrix (ECM) is a complex interconnected three-dimensional network that provides structural support for the cells and tissues and defines organ architecture as key for their healthy functioning. However, the intimate mechanisms by which ECM acquire their three-dimensional architecture are still largely unknown. In this paper, we study this question by means of a simple three-dimensional individual based model of interacting fibres able to spontaneously crosslink or unlink to each other and align at the crosslinks. We show that such systems are able to spontaneously generate different types of architectures. We provide a thorough analysis of the emerging structures by an exhaustive parametric analysis and the use of appropriate visualization tools and quantifiers in three dimensions. The most striking result is that the emergence of ordered structures can be fully explained by a single emerging variable: the number of links per fibre in the network. If validated on real tissues, this simple variable could become an important putative target to control and predict the structuring of biological tissues, to suggest possible new therapeutic strategies to restore tissue functions after disruption, and to help in the development of collagen-based scaffolds for tissue engineering. Moreover, the model reveals that the emergence of architecture is a spatially homogeneous process following a unique evolutionary path, and highlights the essential role of dynamical crosslinking in tissue structuring.

Electric field-induced self-assembly of zein for constructing a bilayer microporous membrane with potential for cell culture

The persistent challenge of membrane contamination, primarily stemming from the extensive usage of non-decomposable materials, stands as a significant barrier limiting the application of microporous membranes in fields like food packaging and biomaterials. This study focused on utilizing indium tin oxide (ITO) conductive glass coated with polylactic acid (PLA) as the electrode. Through electrical induction, zein was prompted to self-assemble, resulting in the creation of porous zein bilayer microporous membranes (PLA/Zein-BMMs). These membranes underwent comprehensive characterization of their physicochemical properties and structure. The outcomes revealed that an electric field voltage of 100 V, an electrode distance of 25 mm, a current density of 15 A/m2, and a protein concentration of 0.05 g/mL, were most suitable for generating microporous membranes featuring a pore diameter of 2 μm and a thickness of 8 μm. During this stage, the microporous membrane exhibited an interconnected three-dimensional network structure, achieving a tensile strength of 49 MPa. Simultaneously, it showcased a surface porosity of 8.15%, a water contact angle measuring 74.28°, and a water vapor transmission rate of 3.2 × 10-3 g/m2•h•KPa. These attributes confer significant application potential in the realms of food packaging and preservation. Additionally, owing to its porous structure and hydrophilic nature, it exhibited favorable biocompatibility when cultured with mouse myoblasts (C2C12), indicating its promising value in the field of biomaterials as well.

Mn2+-Doped MoS2/MXene Heterostructure Composites as Cathodes for Aqueous Zinc-Ion Batteries.

Typical layered transition-metal chalcogenide materials, especially MoS2, are gradually attracting widespread attention as aqueous Zn-ion battery (AZIB) cathode materials by virtue of their two-dimensional structure, tunable band gap, and abundant edges. The metastable phase 1T-MoS2 exhibits better electrical conductivity, electrochemical activity, and zinc storage capacity compared to the thermodynamically stable 2H-MoS2. However, 1T-MoS2 is still limited by the phase stability and layered structure destruction for AZIB application. Thus, a three-dimensional interconnected network heterostructure (Mn-MoS2/MXene) consisting of Mn2+-doped MoS2 and MXene with a high percentage of 1T phase (82.9%) was synthesized by hydrothermal methods and investigated as the cathode for AZIBs. It was found that S-Mn-S covalent bonds between MoS2 interlayers and Ti-O-Mo bonds at heterogeneous interfaces can act as "electron bridges" to facilitate electron and charge transfer. And the doping of Mn2+ and the combination of MXene not only expanded the interlayer spacing of MoS2 but also maintained the metastable structure of 1T-MoS2 nanosheets, acting to reduce the activation energy for Zn2+ intercalation and enhance specific capacity. The obtained Mn-MoS2/MXene contains more 1T-MoS2 and provides an improved specific capacity of 191.7 mAh g-1 at 0.1 A g-1. Compared with Mn-MoS2 and pure MoS2, it also exhibits enhanced cycling stability with a capacity retention of 80.3% after 500 cycles at 1 A g-1. Besides, the conductivity of Mn-MoS2/MXene is significantly improved, which induces a lower activation energy of the zinc ions during intercalation/deintercalation.

Soft-template-assisted bottom-up fabrication of tunable porosity monolithic copper film for interconnection in microelectronics

Background: Third-generation devices offer superior attributes, necessitating advanced packaging materials for harsh operating environments. Incorporating 3D porous architectures to increase the reaction area further enhances the reaction rate, making transient liquid phase bonding an ideal interconnection process. Methods: Fabrication of monolithic porous Cu films using a bicontinuous microemulsion (BME) as a dynamic soft template is reported. The BME phase consists of interconnected three-dimensional networks of aqueous and oil phases, separated by surfactants and cosurfactants. This unique structure enables the selective electrodeposition of Cu exclusively within the aqueous region, preventing any unwanted reactions in the oil phase. Tunable porosity in the monolithic Cu film is achieved by adjusting the water to oil phase ratio in the BME. Significant findings: The Sn-plated porous Cu films exhibit low-temperature reflow capability while still maintaining high service temperatures. The utilization of the BME soft template offers a promising approach for fabricating monolithic Cu films with tunable porosity, providing flexibility in controlling the compositions and performance of interconnections. The compatibility of the BME with existing wafer deposition techniques makes it a viable and scalable solution for mass production. The electrodeposition of monolithic Cu arrays on Cu pillars demonstrates its potential applicability in advanced packaging technologies.

Highly tunable negative permittivity of carbon nanofiber/alumina metacomposites at different external temperatures

Effective and precise modulation of negative permittivity behavior still deserved further research. Herewith, alumina (Al2O3) metacomposites with various carbon nanofiber (CNF) contents were fabricated using hot-press sintering, and the effects of CNF content and external temperature on the electrical properties of metacomposites were investigated. As the CNF content increased, a three-dimensional interconnected CNF network was formed in the composites, resulting in the conversion of the impedance characteristic and the conductivity mechanism. The composites with CNF content of 2 wt% exhibited negative permittivity behavior, owing to the low-frequency plasma state of free electrons in the CNF conducting networks, which could be well simulated by the Drude model. Excellent electromagnetic shielding performance was observed in the composites with high CNF contents at Ku band, and shielding effectiveness reached more than 30 dB with a reflection-dominated mechanism. Furthermore, the temperature-dependences of the electrical properties of the composites were explored. Both the negative permittivity and conductivity of the composites increased with external temperature rising, which were mainly attributed to the changes in free electron concentration and mobility. It was worth noting that the values of negative permittivity varied very little, which provided an effective method for precise regulation of negative permittivity. This work not only enriched the adjustment method of negative permittivity but also helped to expand the application field of metacomposites.

Stretchable Thermoelectric Fibers with Three-Dimensional Interconnected Porous Network for Low-Grade Body Heat Energy Harvesting.

Electricity generation from body heat has garnered significant interest as a sustainable power source for wearable bioelectronics. In this work, we report stretchable n-type thermoelectric fibers based on the hybrid of Ti3C2Tx MXene nanoflakes and polyurethane (MP) through a wet-spinning process. The proposed fibers are designed with a 3D interconnected porous network to achieve satisfactory electrical conductivity (σ), thermal conductivity (κ), and stretchability simultaneously. We systematically optimize the thermoelectric and mechanical traits of the MP fibers and the MP-60 (with 60 wt % MXene content) exhibits a high σ of 1.25 × 103 S m-1, an n-type Seebeck coefficient of -8.3 μV K-1, and a notably low κ of 0.19 W m-1 K-1. Additionally, the MP-60 fibers possess great stretchability and mechanical strength with a tensile strain of 434% and a breaking stress of 11.8 MPa. Toward practical application, a textile thermoelectric generator is constructed based on the MP-60 fibers and achieves a voltage of 3.6 mV with a temperature gradient between the body skin and ambient environment, highlighting the enormous potential of low-grade body heat energy harvesting.
