In this study, carbon-based iron nitride composite is prepared by hydrothermal synthesis, in-situ polymerization and nitriding, successively. The morphology, phase and chemical structure of the composite is characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM), high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), X-ray diffractometer (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FTIR). The electromagnetic and microwave absorbing property of the composites is investigated using a vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) and a vector network analyzer (VNA). The results show that the carbon-based iron nitride composite is successfully fabricated by coating Fe4N magnetic particles with thin carbon layers. The minimum reflection loss (RL) of -44 dB is observed at 4.23 GHz (3.02 mm thickness), and the frequency band is 3.72-4.74 GHz when RL <= -10 dB. When the thickness is reduced to 1.00 mm, the effective bandwidth (RL <= -10 dB) could still reach to 4.00 GHz. In summary, the carbon-based iron nitride composite shows excellent microwave absorbing property at 2-4 GHz with relatively thin thickness.

Summary: The development of solid-state lithium-metal batteries is hindered by poor interface stability between solid-state electrolytes and lithium metal anodes. A flexible rGO film with uniformly distributed ZnO was successfully constructed at the interface between NASICON-type LAGP and Li metal anode, providing good interfacial contact and preventing side reactions. Symmetric cells with this design structure showed high critical current density and stable cycling performance, while full batteries with LFP/Li also demonstrated excellent capacity retention and long cycling performance.

Jia-Lin Liao, Shuai Zhang, Tian-Sheng Bai, Feng-Jun Ji, De-Ping Li, Jun Cheng, Hong-Qiang Zhang, Jing-Yu Lu, Quan Gao, Li-Jie Ci

Summary: Researchers synthesized a lithiophilic 3D copper foam host with uniformly distributed nano-flower-like ZnO particles (CuF/ZnO) and obtained a composite lithium metal anode (CuF/Li2O-LiZn@Li) containing Li2O, LiZn alloy, and pure Li by infusion of molten Li.

The symmetrical cells of the composite lithium metal anode exhibit a 1600-hour long cycle life with a low polarization voltage of 15 mV, and the Coulombic efficiency can maintain about 97.8% at 1.0 mA·cm(-2), 1.0 mAh·cm(-2).

High Gas Response Performance Based on Reduced Graphene Oxide/SnO2 Nanowires Heterostructure for Triethylamine Detection

Ruiqin Peng, Xuzhen Zhuang, Yuanyuan Li, Zhiguo Yu, Lijie Ci

Summary: SnO2 nanowires were synthesized locally by thermal evaporation method and its growth mechanism was confirmed. We proposed a simple strategy to achieve reduced graphene oxide (RGO)/SnO2 nanowires heterostructure. As expected, the gas-sensing response of the heterostructure was up to 63.3 when the gas concentration of trimethylamine (TEA) was 50 ppm, and it exhibited excellent dynamic response with high stability at 180 degrees C. A low detection limit of 50 ppb level was fully realized. Compared to SnO2 nanowires, the sensing performance of the RGO/SnO2 heterostructure-based sensor was greatly enhanced, attributed to the presence of RGO and heterostructure. The RGO/SnO2 composite engineering provided an easy way to make full use of the advantages originating from RGO and heterostructure.

Ecotoxicological evaluation of functional carbon nanodots using zebrafish (Danio rerio) model at different developmental stages

Qiong Chen, Xiufeng Cao, Biao Yan, Zhijiang Guo, Zhenjie Xi, Jianwei Li, Naixuan Ci, Mei Yan, Lijie Ci

Summary: This study evaluated the toxicity of functional carbon nanodots (FCNs) to zebrafish through acute toxicity tests at the embryonic and adult stages. The results showed that FCNs and nitrogen-doped FCNs (N-FCNs) caused developmental retardation, cardiovascular toxicity, renal damage, and hepatotoxicity in zebrafish. The main reason for these effects was the oxidative damage induced by high doses of materials and the biodistribution of FCNs and N-FCNs in the fish. However, FCNs and N-FCNs also promoted the antioxidant activity in zebrafish tissues to counteract the oxidative stress. Both FCNs and N-FCNs were proven to be biosecure to zebrafish, with FCNs showing higher biosecurity due to their physicochemical properties. The effects of FCNs and N-FCNs on hatching rates, mortality rates, and developmental malformations were dose-dependent and time-dependent. The toxicity ratings of FCNs and N-FCNs were defined as practically nontoxic for zebrafish embryos, and FCNs were relatively harmless. These results confirm the biosecurity of FCNs-based materials for future practical applications.

Jun Cheng, Hongqiang Zhang, Deping Li, Yuanyuan Li, Zhen Zeng, Fengjun Ji, Youri Wei, Xiao Xu, Qing Sun, Shang Wang, Jingyu Lu, Lijie Ci

Summary: Garnet-type solid electrolytes are commonly used as fillers in polymer electrolytes to improve ionic conductivity and enhance mechanical strength. However, the presence of passive layers on the surface of garnet reduces its effectiveness. By modifying garnet fillers with an amphipathic coupling agent, the air stability of garnet is extended and the dispersion in the polymer matrix is improved. This leads to improved performance of the composite electrolyte.

Thermodynamic, entanglement and spin Hall conductivity on kagome-honeycomb lattice system

Leonardo S. Lima

Summary: This study investigates the thermodynamic quantities, such as entropy, specific heat, and magnetic susceptibility, in the next-nearest-neighbors Heisenberg model on a honeycomb-kagome lattice. The linear spin-wave approach is applied to obtain the temperature-dependent behavior of these quantities. Additionally, the entanglement negativity, a quantifier of quantum entanglement, and the spin Hall conductivity are also studied. The results show that all the thermodynamic quantities, as well as the entanglement negativity and spin Hall conductivity, exhibit an increasing trend with temperature. Furthermore, it is found that all the analyzed quantities approach zero in the low-temperature limit, consistent with experimental observations.
