Summary: This study provides a comprehensive understanding of the influence of room temperature sintering on thiophosphate solid electrolytes. It reveals that room temperature sintering is not straightforward and the commonly accepted rule of less porosity = better ionic conductivity is not always true. Multiple additional parameters should be considered for proper sintering of solid electrolytes.

Summary: When a sessile droplet contacts an opposing solid surface, the droplet can transfer based on wettabilities and surface velocity. This study used high-speed imaging to capture the transfer process from a solid substrate to a porous surface, varying parameters such as wettability, pore size, droplet volume, and working fluid. The transfer process is divided into wetting and wicking regimes, with wicking being significantly longer than wetting. The wetting regime has two sub-regimes, donor-independent and donor-dependent, while the wicking regime follows Darcy's law to complete the transfer.

Summary: Hybrid solid-state electrolytes (HSSEs) with dendrite inhibition properties are successfully developed through universal room-temperature 3-dimensional printing (RT-3DP) strategy. The porous MOF filler in the HSSEs promotes homogeneity of lithium deposition and the formation of C-OCO3Li, ROLi, LiF mesophases, resulting in enhanced dendrite inhibition and improved Li+ migration in PEO chain.

Summary: Recent studies on hydrogen-rich materials at megabar pressures have led to the discovery of high-temperature superconductivity, particularly in lanthanum superhydride LaH10. Doping with B and N atoms at H atomic positions in the clathrate structure of LaH10 has been shown to increase the superconducting critical temperature (T-c) to potentially reach 288 K at 240 GPa, demonstrating the possibility of creating even higher-temperature superconductivity under lower-pressure conditions.

Summary: Room-temperature superconductivity in hydrides measured under high pressure can be theoretically explained by combining the generalized BCS T-c and the diverging effective mass in the Brinkman-Rice (BR)-Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS) model. The transition from the on-site Coulomb interaction in a correlated metal to the interaction in the superconducting state can lead to superconductivity induced by volume contraction caused by high pressure or low temperature.

Summary: In this study, F, N co-doped carbon nanomaterials were prepared, and L-CDs@PVA composites with green room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP) were obtained. The F, N functional groups on the surface of L-CDs were found to promote the radiative transition of triplet excitons, leading to RTP. On the other hand, S-CNWs displayed solid-state yellow fluorescence but no phosphorescence. Therefore, a complex, multi-level information encryption method based on the different characteristics of L-CDs and S-CNWs was proposed, and the potential applications of S-CNWs powder for fingerprint recording were explored.

Summary: In this study, electron-phonon interaction in a single-layer Tl-Pb compound on Si(111) was investigated using density functional theory and linear response approach. It was found that the scattering of electrons at the Fermi level is primarily determined by surface electronic states and low-energy vibrations of adatoms. The superconducting transition temperature Tc was also estimated.

Summary: Vanadium dioxide (VO2) is a promising micro-actuator material with large amplitude and high work density. By synthesizing VO2 nanowires under optimized oxygen-rich conditions, stoichiometry change can introduce stable M2-phase nanowires at room temperature. The output stress of M2-phase nanowires is about 65% higher than that of M1-phase nanowires during their transition to R phase, showing potential to enhance the performance of VO2-based actuators.

Summary: In this article, a novel catalytic reaction using Pd(0) and Bronsted acid is reported for the synthesis of biologically important imidazolidinone-fused N-heterocycles through redox-neutral intramolecular N-allylation of indoles and pyrroles with alkynes. This atom-economical method is applicable to a wide range of substrates and eliminates the need for leaving groups or oxidizing agents commonly used in traditional allylation reactions.

Summary: This study presents the design and synthesis of sulfated disaccharide inhibitors based on IdoA(2S)-GlcNS(6S), which showed potent inhibition of Sulf-2. The results suggest that IdoA(2S)-GlcNS(6S) is the shortest fragment size required for effective inhibition of Sulfs, and a trisulfated disaccharide is identified as the minimal fragment size of heparan sulfate for effective endosulfatase inhibition.

Summary: The self-adaptability of galvanostatic electrolysis was found to be helpful in a multistage chemo- and diastereoselective electrochemically promoted cyclodimerization of chalcones. Through a series of reductive events, densely functionalized cyclopentanes with five contiguous stereocenters were obtained (25 examples, yields up to 95%, dr values up to >20:1). Further experimental and electrochemical investigations indicated the crucial role of dynamic kinetic resolution of the aldol intermediate in the reaction mechanism.

Summary: In this study, the synthesis of functionalized benzo[a]phenazines and indazolo[2,3-a]quinolines was achieved through Rh(III)-catalyzed oxidative annulation of 2-arylquinoxalines and 2-aryl-2H-indazoles with allyl alcohols. The method showed a wide substrate scope, excellent functional group tolerance, good to high yields of annulated products, and the capability for scaled-up synthesis. A tentative mechanism of the annulation reaction was proposed based on a preliminary mechanistic investigation.
