Summary: The present study investigated the tribological behavior of PTFE composites filled with natural layered silicates. It was found that the content and chemical composition of layered silicates affect the morphology of the friction surface of the composites. The formation of a special layer on the friction surface, independent of the silicate content, was observed, indicating the formation of a protective layer during friction.

Summary: The focus of this study was on developing pigments based on layered nanomaterials with luminescent properties by modifying two layered silicates (montmorillonite and saponite) with cationic organic surfactants and a laser dye, which significantly increased fluorescence intensity, especially for montmorillonite hybrids. Advanced statistical analysis was used to differentiate components in fluorescence spectra. By selecting suitable organic cation and dye components, pigments with high fluorescence and long wavelengths approaching the near-infrared region could be prepared.

Summary: （English Summary:）
In this study, superparamagnetic ferrofluids composed of magnetite and cobalt-doped magnetite nanoconjugates were successfully designed and produced using an eco-friendly aqueous method. The gradual substitution of cobalt in the magnetite host material significantly affected the magnetic anisotropy properties of the ferrofluids, enhancing their cell-killing activities in magnetic hyperthermia experiments. The incorporation of cobalt into magnetite-polymer nanostructures presents a smart strategy for tuning their magnetothermal capability towards cancer therapy by heat generation.

Summary: In this study, the influence of transition metal doping on the electronic and mechanical properties and electrochemical performance of 2HMoS2/NC was investigated using Cobalt (Co) as an example. Co doping was found to effectively improve the electronic conductivity and active site areas of 2H-MoS2/NC at different positions, optimizing the adsorption and diffusion capability of potassium ions. Furthermore, the study revealed the optimal roles of different types of nitrogen atoms in kinetic adsorption, diffusion, and interfacial stability of potassium ions. These findings provide guidance for the experimental design of high rate 2H-MoS2/NC electrode materials and the optimal design of other functional composite materials.

Summary: This research developed an effective approach to enhance the charging rates of lithium ion batteries (LIBs) by strategically incorporating carbon nanotube (CNT) conductivity boosters into Li4Ti5O12 (LTO) electrodes. Multi-layer architectures comprising CNT-rich and CNT-free LTO electrode layers were manufactured using a layer-by-layer spray coating method to promote charge transfer kinetics of high mass loading electrodes. The best performing multi-layer was paired with a spray-coated LiFePO4 (LFP) positive electrode, resulting in attractive power performance that outperformed conventional LTO || LFP combinations.

Summary: This study investigates the relationship between the morphology of PMMA monopolymers and PMMA-PHEMA copolymers with the expected nature of surfactant-free microemulsions (SFMEs) before polymerization. It is found that previously mesostructured, surfactant-free mixtures can produce porous polymers of different morphologies, while unstructured, oil-rich regions lead to solid, transparent polymers without nanostructured morphologies. Additionally, a surfactant-based reference system shows similar phase behavior and polymer morphologies as the comparable surfactant-free system, indicating the importance of the hydrotropic behavior of HEMA in this system.
