Summary: In this study, a biocompatible carrier loaded with tea tree essential oil was prepared to address the issue of volatile nature inhibiting the effective use of tea tree oil. Through chemical and electrostatic interactions, a low volatilization rate of tea tree essential oil was achieved, leading to a synergistic antibacterial effect between sodium rosin and tea tree essential oil. The chemically modified system exhibited a longer sustained release and better antibacterial properties compared to the electrostatic effect, with the samples demonstrating long-term antibacterial performance as well.

Summary: Superior SiO2 nanofiber composite gel polymer electrolytes (SNCGPEs) are developed for lithium metal batteries via in-situ ionic ring-opening polymerization of 1,3-dioxolane (DOL) monomers in SiO2 nanofiber membrane (PDOL-SiO2). PDOL-SiO2 exhibits high lithium ion transference number (tLi+) and ionic conductivity (Sigma) at 30 degrees C, with values of 0.80 and 1.68 x 10 -4 S/cm, respectively. The Li|PDOL-SiO2|Li cell shows a steady cycling performance for nearly 1400 h and the LFP|PDOL-SiO2|Li battery can steadily cycle with high capacity retention rates. The innovative strategy of designing PDOL molecular chains throughout the SiO2 nanofiber framework accelerates Li+ transportation, which is crucial for high-energy-density lithium metal batteries.

Summary: Using gel polymer electrolytes (GPEs) with high ionic conductivity is considered an effective approach for high-energy-density batteries. However, most GPEs have limited compatibility with Ni-rich cathodes, resulting in rapid capacity decay. In this study, a new type of GPEs (PETEA-TCGG-PAN) was synthesized by in situ polymerization of pentaerythritol tetraacrylate (PETEA) monomers in a polyacrylonitrile (PAN) membrane to match with LiNi0.8Co0.1Mn0.1O2 (NCM811). The PETEA-TCGG-PAN exhibited high lithium-ion transference number, electrochemical stability, and excellent rate performance, enabling stable charge-discharge cycling of high-energy-density lithium metal batteries.

Summary: Anatase TiO2 is a promising anode material for sodium-ion batteries, but its shortcomings in semiconductor properties and sluggish Na+ diffusion kinetics hinder further development. A heterojunction TiO2@TiOF2 structure constructed with two-dimensional nanosheets shows stable cycling performance for up to 10,000 cycles at high current densities, attributed to its unique structure and the in situ formation of a NaF protective layer. Density functional theory calculations indicate that the heterostructure TiO2@TiOF2 nanosheets exhibit improved electrical conductivity and lower formation energies of Na+ ions compared to the separated TiO2 and TiOF2.

Summary: In this study, a highly effective surfactant producer strain, Bacillus Cereus GX7, was isolated from the oil tank bottom sludge of Shengli Oil Field in China. The biosurfactant produced by GX7 was identified as surfactin, a lipopeptide surfactant, through TLC, FT-IR, and LC-MS/MS analysis. The fermentation process of GX7 was optimized using single-factor experiments, focusing on the composition of fermentation medium and fermentation conditions. Glucose and peptone were found to be the best carbon and nitrogen sources, and the optimum temperature, inoculum amount, pH, rotation speed, and fermentation time for the strain were determined to be 30°C, 1%, 7.5, 150 rpm, and 48 h, respectively. After optimization, the surface tension and emulsification index of the fermentation broth were 26.84 mN/m and 57.84%, respectively. Furthermore, the biosurfactant produced by GX7 demonstrated good stability over a wide range of temperature, pH, and salt concentration.

Summary: Effective management of biofluids is crucial for in vivo surgical interventions. Recent advances include self-sealing needles, drug-eluting stents, and shear-thinning hydrogels. However, complications associated with intestinal mucosal injury and secondary damage still persist. In this study, researchers developed an interpenetrating Janus wettability stent coating that enables unidirectional draining of excessive biofluid. They also demonstrated directional biofluid movement using a self-pumping dressing with potential applications in biofluid collection and disease diagnosis through metal ion detection. This integrated system presents an opportunity for designing wound dressings with effective biofluid management and metal ion detection capabilities.
