Summary: In this study, it is found that proton co-insertion into tunnel materials is determined jointly by interface derivation and inner diffusion. The co-inserted/lattice H2O molecules block the Mg2+ diffusion while facilitate the proton diffusion. Through detailed investigations, it is demonstrated that protons dominate the subsequent insertion and inner diffusion, leading to excellent performances of the monoclinic vanadium dioxide (VO2(B)) anode in Mg(CH3COO)(2) aqueous solution.

Summary: By utilizing an ion pre-intercalation strategy, d-MnO2 nanosheets (Na-MnO2) were grown on a flexible carbon cloth substrate using a simple water bath method, with pre-intercalated Na+ in the interlayer of the nanosheets to effectively enlarge the layer spacing and enhance the conductivity. The prepared Na-MnO2//Zn battery exhibited a high capacity of 251 mAh g(-1) at a current density of 2 A g(-1), satisfactory cycle life (62.5% of initial capacity after 500 cycles), and favorable rate capability (96 mAh g(-1) at 8 A g(-1)). Furthermore, this study revealed that the pre-intercalation engineering of alkaline cations is an effective method to enhance the properties of d-MnO2 zinc storage and provides new insights into the construction of high energy density flexible electrodes.

Summary: In this study, LiCrTiO4 nanoparticles with/without carbon layer were successfully prepared and used as cathodes for hybrid magnesium-lithium ion batteries. The nanoparticles with carbon layer exhibited high reversible capacity, excellent rate performance, and ultra-stable cycling stability. The improved electrochemical performance was attributed to the enhanced conductivity and ion diffusion rate, as well as the decreased polarization value induced by the carbon coating layer with a higher surface area. This study demonstrates a promising application of LCTOC in the fabrication of advanced HMLBs.

Summary: The development of biodegradable electronics has eliminated the need for second surgeries for device removal, reduced infection risks, and opened up opportunities for zero-waste and green electronics. Magnesium-based biodegradable batteries have gained attention for their advantages such as high capacity, energy density, biodegradability, physiological tolerance, low cost, and high safety. However, controlling the degradation rate of the magnesium anode is crucial, and strategies such as coating and alloying elements are used. The development of biodegradable cathode materials and electrolytes is also important for fully biodegradable batteries.

Summary: Emerging evidence suggests that the circadian clock gene Rev-erb alpha plays a role in cartilage metabolism, but its contribution to growth plate chondrogenesis remains unclear. In this study, it was found that inhibiting Rev-erb alpha suppressed longitudinal bone elongation and disrupted growth plate development. Mechanistically, knock-down of Rev-erb alpha up-regulated the MAPK-ERK1/2 pathway in chondrocytes. However, inhibition of this pathway partially alleviated the effects of Rev-erb alpha inhibition on bone elongation and growth plate development. These findings provide evidence for the important role of Rev-erb alpha in growth plate chondrogenesis.

Summary: This study investigated the enantioselective bioaccumulation and dissipation of uniconazole enantiomers in an earthworm-soil microcosm. A fast enantioseparation method was established using supercritical fluid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. The results showed that the bioaccumulation of uniconazole enantiomers in earthworms increased with time and reached a maximum on the 7th day, while the dissipation in soil was slow. No enantioselectivity was observed in the earthworm-soil microcosm.

Summary: A sample pretreatment method based on magnetic dispersive solid-phase extraction was developed for the analysis of multi-class antibiotics in aquatic products. By optimizing the extraction and purification procedure, the simultaneous extraction of multiple antibiotics was achieved using acetonitrile-2% acetic acid. The use of amphiphilic magnetic particles and C18 as adsorbents effectively removed matrix interferences, resulting in significantly reduced matrix effects of analytes. The method showed satisfactory linearity, recovery, precision, and sensitivity under the optimized conditions, with limits of quantification ranging from 0.25 to 0.5 µg/kg. Additionally, the method demonstrated advantages in terms of operation convenience and efficiency due to the use of magnetic particles. It was successfully applied to analyze antibiotic residues in freshwater and seafood products, highlighting its suitability for antibiotic residues analysis in aquatic products.

Summary: This article reports a rare case of isolated sacral cryptococcal osteomyelitis in an immunocompetent patient. Furthermore, it identified and reviewed 18 published cases of spine cryptococcal osteomyelitis. Clinical manifestation and imaging are insufficient to diagnose cryptococcal osteomyelitis of the spine, and invasive examinations, such as puncture biopsy and fungal examinations, are needed. Antifungal therapy yields satisfactory results for the treatment of cryptococcal osteomyelitis of the spine, however, if the infective lesion is large, especially when it compresses the spinal cord and nerves, a regimen combining aggressive surgery with antifungal therapy is indispensable.

Summary: In this study, indium (In) ions were introduced into flexible Cu2ZnSn(S,Se)(4) (CZTSSe) solar cells to modify the back interface and passivate deep level defects in CZTSSe bulk. The results showed that In doping effectively inhibited the formation of secondary phase and V-Sn defects, decreased the barrier height at the back interface, passivated deep level defects in CZTSSe bulk, increased carrier concentration, and significantly reduced the V-OC deficit. Eventually, a flexible CZTSSe solar cell with a power conversion efficiency of 10.01% was achieved. This synergistic strategy of interface modification and bulk defects passivation through In incorporation provides a new approach for fabricating efficient flexible kesterite-based solar cells.

Summary: Direct growth of redox-active noble metals and rational design of multifunctional electrochemical active materials play crucial roles in developing novel electrode materials for energy storage devices. In this regard, silver (Ag) has attracted great attention in the design of efficient electrodes. The construction of multifaceted heterostructure cobalt-iron hydroxide (CFOH) nanowires (NWs)@nickel cobalt manganese hydroxides and/or hydrate (NCMOH) nanosheets (NSs) on the Ag-deposited nickel foam and carbon cloth (i.e., Ag/ NF and Ag/CC) substrates is reported. The as-fabricated Ag@CFOH@NCMOH/NF electrode delivered superior areal capacity value of 2081.9 μA h cm-2 at 5 mA cm-2. Moreover, as-assembled hybrid cell based on NF (HC/NF) device exhibited remarkable areal capacity value of 1.82 mA h cm-2 at 5 mA cm-2 with excellent rate capability of 74.77% even at 70 mA cm-2. Furthermore, HC/NF device achieved maximum energy and power densities of 1.39 mW h cm-2 and 42.35 mW cm-2, respectively. To verify practical applicability, both devices were also tested to serve as a self-charging station for various portable electronic devices.
