Summary: 2D MXene materials have potential in energy storage systems, but their application is hindered by challenges of stacking and collapsing. This study introduces an efficient and facile strategy to induce self-assembly of MXene nanosheets by using Methylene blue (MB) molecule, forming a 3D porous MXene/MB composite. The resulting MX/MB-3 exhibits optimal specific capacitance of 327 F g-1 at 2 A g-1 and retains its initial capacitance without attenuation after 10,000 cycles at 10 A g-1. Furthermore, the assembled TH/N-rGO//MX/MB-3 asymmetric device shows high energy density of 23.3 Wh kg-1 at power density of 780.2 W kg-1 and excellent cycling stability (94.4% capacitance retention after 10,000 cycles).

Summary: This study investigates the effects and mechanisms of environmental pH and graphene edges on the adsorption properties between graphene and benzene using experimental and theoretical approaches. The results show that benzene is more likely to adsorb on the surface of graphene in acidic environments, and the adsorption performance is better in the center of graphene compared to the edges. The pH effect is influenced by changes in electrostatic interaction, while the edge effect is dominated by van der Waals interaction.

Summary: This study investigates the relationship between pyroptosis and the tumor immune microenvironment (TIME) in gastric cancer. It identifies distinct clusters based on pyroptosis and constructs a risk scoring system. The low-pyroptosis risk score is associated with better immune cell fractions, higher MSI status, and increased response to immunotherapy. The study highlights the importance of the interaction between pyroptosis and TIME in gastric cancer, and the potential of the risk scoring system in predicting survival and response to immunotherapy.

Summary: In order to address the issue of environmental pollution caused by waste reverse osmosis (RO) membranes, we recycled and reused the end-of-life RO membrane as a nanofiltration (NF) membrane through a cleaning-healing-interfacial polymerization (IP) method. The influence of different repair methods on the subsequent IP process and the performance of the NF membrane were discussed. The NF membrane prepared with 2.0 layers of self-assembled healed membranes showed excellent long-term stability, fouling resistance, and high rejection rates for Na2SO4 solutions of different concentrations, indicating its potential as a tight nanofiltration membrane. This work provides an economic and environmentally friendly approach for the future treatment of waste RO membrane modules.

Summary: In this study, the speed of the interfacial polymerization reaction was controlled by controlling the diffusion rate of the aqueous monomer, thereby affecting the thickness and surface morphology of the polyamide layer. Polyethylene oxide (PEO) was added to increase the viscosity of the aqueous phase and slow down the reaction rate. Choline chloride (CC) was then grafted onto the surface of the polyamide membrane for secondary modification. The addition of 1% PEO resulted in the best performance of the composite membrane, and after CC modification, the rejection rate of (NaSO4)-S-2 was more than 96% with a permeation flux of 125.9 L/(m(2)center dot h center dot MPa). This composite membrane has potential applications in seawater desalination and sewage purification.

Summary: The identification of reservoir fractures is crucial for designing a field development plan and improving the efficiency of hydrocarbon production. However, the lack of understanding of fracture development patterns in tight oil reservoirs in the Triassic Change 6 member of Y well area, Ordos Basin, China has led to issues such as water flooding and water channeling. This study analyzed cores from 20 wells, fractures, and outcrop profiles to identify controlling factors for fracture development and establish a fracture prediction method using conventional logging data. The findings indicate that fractures in this area have high angles, nearly east-west orientations, small spacing, small openings, small down-cutting depths, and a low filling rate. Thin beds and fine sandstones are prone to fracture development, and the modified curve change rate method is effective for fracture prediction in the Triassic Change 6 member tight sandstone reservoirs in the Y well area, Ordos Basin, China.

Summary: The corrosion behavior of Fe-60 and Fe-83 ribbons in 0.6 M NaCl was studied. Fe-60 exhibited a local corrosion mode and formed a stable passivation film with higher corrosion resistance, while Fe-83 showed a combination of local and global corrosion modes and had lower corrosion resistance. Controlling the precipitation of nanocrystalline phases and increasing the POx content in the passivation film significantly improved the corrosion resistance of Fe-based glassy alloys.
