Summary: We developed a rational approach for the development of stimuli-responsive ionogels with precise control over their features for pharmaceutical applications. By strategically integrating silk fibroin and biocompatible ionic liquids, we overcame the limitations of complex chemistry, high viscosity, poor biocompatibility, and low biodegradability. Our approach resulted in the formation of thermoresponsive ionogels with tunable properties and enhanced drug solubility. The development of these ionogels has significant implications for drug delivery applications.

Summary: With the acceleration of urbanization, waste classification has become an inevitable factor threatening the environment and human health. Through a questionnaire survey, we found that the elderly, women, and people with higher education are more likely to participate in waste classification. Attitude, collaborative governance, and institutional pressure positively affect waste classification behavior, while subjective norm and infrastructure have a negative effect.

Summary: In this study, N-doped carbon-coated Fe1-xS (Fe1-xS@NC) sheets were synthesized and anchored on rGO to form Fe1-xS@NC-rGO composites. The coating of N-doped carbon on Fe1-xS surfaces improved the surface conductivity and electrochemical kinetics of Fe1-xS, facilitating the conversion between lithium polysulfides and Fe1-xS. Additionally, the N-doped carbon coating acted as a barrier to prevent the dissolution of polysulfides and loss of active ingredients. The double protection of the N-doped carbon layer and flexible rGO substrate minimized the structural damage caused by cyclic expansion and contraction. Fe1-xS@NC-rGO exhibited excellent rate performance, reversible capacity of 939.5 mA h g(-1) after 1690 cycles at a current density of 1.0 A g(-1), and outstanding charge-discharge performance and long-term cycling stability. This work demonstrates the synergistic enhancement of Fe1-xS performance and highlights the effectiveness of the synthetic strategy for carbon-based material-protected sulfides in developing superior LIB electrodes.

Summary: Cs-137 and Sr-90 pose hazards to the environment and human health due to their strong radioactivity, long half-life, and high mobility. Effective adsorption and separation of Cs+ and Sr2+ from acidic radioactive wastewater is challenging, however, a K+-activated niobium germanate (K-NGH-1) shows efficient Cs+/Sr2+ coadsorption and selective separation under different acidity conditions. K-NGH-1 demonstrates ultrafast adsorption kinetics and high adsorption capacity for both Cs+ and Sr2+ in neutral solution, and effectively separates Cs+ from acidic solutions with excess competing ions.
