Summary: Silica is a promising anode material for LIBs due to its high theoretical capacity, but its large volume variation and poor electrical conductivity limit its development. This study presents a new approach by combining SiO2 with a conductive phase and designing hollow porous structures. The DBS@C-Co composite, decorated with Co nanoparticles, exhibits a high reversible capacity of >620 mAh g(-1) after 270 cycles, thanks to the synergistic effect of the unique three-dimensional structure of diatom frustules, carbon layer, and Co nanoparticles. This work offers a new method for synthesizing metal/silica composites and provides new opportunities for the development of advanced active materials for LIBs.

Summary: The synergetic effect of TiO2 quantum dots (TiO2 QDs) decorated Si nanocage composites leads to superior lithium-ion storage performance. Reversible charge capacity of 616.3 mAh/g was achieved over 500 cycles at 1.0 A/g, and Li storage capacities of 513.6 mAh/g were retained at 10.0 A/g after 150 cycles. The improved performance of Si-TiO2 can be attributed to the special Si nanocage for buffering volume expansion and the ultra-small TiO2 for shortening ion transfer pathway and modifying the interfacial of Si.

Summary: Heteroatom doping is an efficient method to modify the electronic properties of carbon for better lithium storage capacity. Here, we report a straightforward approach to synthesize selenium-decorated honeycomb-like g-C3N4 (Se-H-g-C3N4) for the anode of a Li-ion battery. The Se doping significantly widened the gap between carbon sheets, providing more active sites for Li-ion storage and enhancing the diffusion rate. As a result, Se-H-g-C3N4 outperformed bulk g-C3N4 and honeycomb-like g-C3N4 (H-g-C3N4) in terms of rate capability and specific capacity.

Summary: A three-layer tri-wavelength broadband antireflective (AR) coating was successfully fabricated on a quartz substrate using acid-catalyzed silica sols via a sol-gel route. Ordered mesoporous SiO2 films were prepared using an ethylene oxide-propylene oxide-ethylene oxide triblock copolymer as a template. The film thickness for each layer was optimized based on the actual optical constants of the three mesoporous silica films using Filmstar thin film design software. The resulting AR coating exhibited high transmittance at 351 nm, 527 nm, and 1053 nm, with values of 99.24%, 99.66%, and 99.64%, respectively. The mesoporous SiO2 films with tough skeletons and different porosity provided good abrasion resistance to the coating. Additionally, the surface of the AR coating was modified using 1H, 1H, 2H, 2H-Perfluorodecyltriethoxysilane to improve its experimental stability. This work provides valuable references for the production of AR coatings using the sol-gel technique.

Summary: The study of regional biodiversity is significant in protecting endangered species' habitat and utilizing regional resources. Three dynamic habitat indices (DHI) were constructed using multispectral remote sensing vegetation data, and the research analyzed their applicability, complementarity, and ability to express species richness. The results showed a strong correlation between corresponding DHIs based on the same MODIS indices, with GPP-DHIs having the strongest ability to monitor biodiversity in China. Climate change was found to significantly impact vegetation productivity, and environmental change had the greatest impact on amphibian species richness. The distribution of DHIs showed spatial patterns, indicating changes in living environments for species in different regions of China.
