Summary: Semiconductor heterostructures, such as the novel Z-scheme CaIn2S4 (CIS)/TiO2 photocatalysts, show improved photocatalytic activity due to increased light absorption and reduced electron-hole recombination. The intimate contact and matched energy band positions between CIS and TiO2 efficiently produce active charge carriers, reducing recombination and boosting carrier transfer. The proposed Z-scheme mechanism provides insights for designing high-efficiency heterojunction photocatalysts for photodegradation applications.

Summary: This paper presents the synthesis of multi-layer SiO2@Au@SiO2@QDs nanoparticles with dual-functionality of heating and temperature sensing, and their application in in vitro chemo-thermal therapy. The nanoparticles are activated by NIR-light for heating through resonance excitation of surface plasma, and in-situ thermal sensing is achieved by the photoluminescent effect of QDs. They are used as a drug carrier for chemotherapy-photothermal co-treatment of malignant cells. The combined treatment shows synergistic chemotherapeutic-thermal effects, resulting in higher efficacy compared to chemotherapy or photothermal therapy alone.

Summary: To solve the problem of slow de-solvation kinetics and uneven Zn2+ transport behavior in zinc ion batteries, a periodically alternating electric field is introduced on the Zn anode using a laponite nano-clay layer. This layer creates negative and positive electric fields in the same space but in different directions, achieving both homogeneous Zn2+ transport and effective de-solvation. The laponite film (LAP@Zn) can induce Zn2+ nucleation and suppress dendrite growth on the Zn anode, resulting in high-performance and dendrite-free Zn-based storage systems.

Summary: As a potential alternative to liquid organic electrolytes, solid polymer electrolytes provide good processability and interfacial properties. However, their further development is limited by insufficient ionic conductivity. In this work, we propose the use of synthetic clay Laponite as a filler to enhance ion transport in polymer-based electrolytes. The addition of Laponite to the PEO-LiClO4 system improves the ionic conductivity, lithium-ion transference number, exchange current density, and electrochemical properties of the composite electrolytes, leading to improved stability and performance in solid-state batteries.

Summary: In this study, a strategy of designing novel delaminated 3D bimetal MXene (d-TiNbCT x ) nanostructure was proposed to solve the problems of slow kinetic rates, high dehydrogenation temperature, and short cycle life of magnesium hydride (MGH). The on-set dehydrogenation temperature of MGH@d-TiNbCT x composition was reduced to 150°C, achieving 7.2 wt % of hydrogen releasing capacity within the range of 150-250°C. This unique structure, which involves in situ-formed TiH2/NbH2 nanocatalysts, promoted the dissociation of Mg-H bonds and improved the kinetic rates, leading to improved hydrogen storage performance of MGHs.

Summary: A facile strategy was developed to create sandwich-like m-Ti3C2/Fe3O4 (MTF) composites by electrostatic assembly, which preserved the electron migration path of m-Ti3C2. The increased Fe3O4 content in the composites inhibited electron migration and led to increased impedance-matching thickness. The MTF composites exhibited exceptional EM wave absorption capacity at a thickness of 2.96 mm, reaching -77.5 dB with an effective absorption band of 3.0 GHz. This study provides a solid theoretical foundation for understanding the influence of electron hopping behaviors on electromagnetic characteristics and offers essential guidance for fabricating high-performance absorbers.

Summary: In this study, a FeCo/DA@NC catalyst with a well-defined FeCoN6 moiety is customized using a novel and ultrafast Joule heating technique. The catalyst shows excellent oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) activity and stability in an alkaline environment, surpassing the performance of Pt/C catalyst in power density and charge-discharge cycling of zinc-air batteries. The improved ORR activity of FeCo/DA@NC is attributed to the significantly changed charge environment and 3d orbital spin state, which enhance bonding strength between active sites and oxygen-containing intermediates and provide spare reaction sites. This work provides support for precise design and rapid preparation of bimetallic catalysts and offers new insights into orbital interactions during ORR.

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.
