However, the Li/O loss and Li/Ni mixing under high-temperature lithiation result in electrochemical kinetic hysteresis and structural instability. Herein, we report a highly-ordered single-crystalline LiNi0.85Co0.05Mn0.10O2(NCM85) cathode by doping K+and F-ions. To be specific, the K-ion as a fluxing agent can remarkably decrease the solid-state lithiation temperature by ~30°C, leading to less Li/Ni mixing and oxygen vacancy. Meanwhile, the strong transitional metal(TM)-F bonds are helpful for enhancing de-/lithiation kinetics and limiting the lattice oxygen escape even at 4.5 V high-voltage. Their advantages synergistically endow the single-crystalline NCM85 cathode with a very high reversible capacity of 222.3 mAh g-1. A superior capacity retention of 91.3% is obtained after 500 times at 1 C in pouch-type full cells, and a prediction value of 75.3% is given after cycling for 5000 h. These findings are reckoned to expedite the exploitation and application of high-voltage single-crystalline Ni-rich cathodes for next-generation Li-ion batteries.展开更多

文摘The implementation of ultrahigh-Ni cathodes in high-energy lithium-ion batteries(LIBs)is constrained by significant structural and interfacial degradation during cycling.In this study,doping-induced surface restructuring in ultrahigh-nickel cathode materials is rapidly facilitated through an ultrafast Joule heating method.Density functional theory(DFT)calculations,synchrotron X-ray absorption spectroscopy(XAS),and single-particle force test confirmed the establishment of a stable crystal framework and lattice oxygen,which mitigated H2-H3 phase transitions and improved structural reversibility.Additionally,the Sc doping process exhibits a pinning effect on the grain boundaries,as shown by scanning transmission electron microscopy(STEM),enhancing Li~+diffusion kinetics and decreasing mechanical strain during cycling.The in situ development of a cation-mixing layer at grain boundaries also creates a robust cathode/electrolyte interphase,effectively reducing interfacial parasitic reactions and transition metal dissolution,as validated by STEM and time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry(TOF-SIMS).These synergistic modifications reduce particle cracking and surface/interface degradation,leading to enhanced rate capability,structural integrity,and thermal stability.Consequently,the optimized Sc-modified ultrahigh-Ni cathode(Sc-1)exhibits 93.99%capacity retention after 100 cycles at 1 C(25℃)and87.06%capacity retention after 100 cycles at 1 C(50℃),indicating excellent cycling and thermal stability.By presenting a one-step multifunctional modification approach,this research delivers an extensive analysis of the mechanisms governing the structure,microstructure,and interface properties of nickel-rich layered cathode materials(NCMs).These results underscore the potential of ultrahigh-Ni cathodes as viable candidates for advanced lithium-ion batteries(LIBs)in next-generation electric vehicles(EVs).
文摘Posaconazole(PCZ)is a broad-spectrum anti-fungal drug approved by FDA and currently used off-label for the treatment of fungal keratitis(FK).Although ocular route serves as the most bioavailable route for treating FK,delivery of PCZ to the eye remains a challenge due to poor permeation though the cornea and rapid elimination from the eye.Here we outline a comprehensive formulation development process,beginning with in silico studies,progressing through in vitro evaluations,and ultimately achieving therapeutic benefits in vivo.We report modified niosome-like surfactant vesicles,hereafter termed as NioTherms,formulated using a novel and simple heat-mix method,encapsulating PCZ for ocular administration in the form of an in situ gel.Excipient screening performed using in silico simulations highly correlate with in vitro studies(R^(2)=0.77),guiding optimization by Quality by Design(QbD)approach for encapsulating PCZ in NioTherms resulting in particles with an average size of 180.7±2.3 nm,zeta potential of +27.5±2.2 mV and entrapment efficiency of 87.6%±1.7%.A 2-fold increase in both mucin binding and cellular uptake indicates a functional role of positive surface charge in enhancingmucoadhesive properties of PCZ-NioTherms.In an in vivo murine ocular keratitis model,we demonstrate a 2-fold enhancement in trans-corneal permeability of PCZ-NioTherms and a 3-fold reduction in fungal burden compared to the control standard of care,the PCZ solution.Owing to a facile formulation process,we anticipate that PCZ-NioTherms would serve as a clinically translatable and patient compliant therapeutic intervention for treating FK.

文摘Transition metal carbonates(TMCs)hold great potential as high-performance electrodes for alkali metal-ion batteries,owing to multiple-ion storage mechanisms involving conversion process and electrocatalytic reaction.However,they still suffer from inferior electronic conductivity and volume variation during delithiation/lithiation.Heterostructure and heteroatoms doping offer immense promise in enhancing reaction kinetics and structural integrity,which unfortunately have not been achieved in TMCs.Herein,a unique TMCs heterostructure with Ni-doped MnCO_(3)as“core”and Mn-doped NiCO_(3)as“shell”,which is wrapped by graphene(NM@MN/RGO),is achieved by cations differentiation strategy.The formation process for core-shell NM@MN consists of epitaxial growth of NiCO_(3)from MnCO_(3)and synchronously mutual doping,owing to the similar crystal structures but different solubility product constant/formation energy of MnCO_(3)and NiCO_(3).In-situ electrochemical impedance spectroscopy,galvanostatic intermittent titration technique,differential capacity versus voltage plots,theoretical calculation and kinetic analysis reveal the superior electrochemical activity of the NM@MN/RGO to MnCO_(3)/RGO.The NM@MN/RGO shows excellent lithium storage properties(1013.4 mAh·g^(-1)at 0.1 A·g^(-1)and 760 mAh·g^(-1)after 1000 cycles at 2 A·g^(-1))and potassium storage properties(capacity decay rate of 0.114 mAh·g^(-1)per cycle).This work proposes an efficient cation differentiation strategy for constructing advanced TMC electrodes.

文摘Developing cost-effective single-crystalline Ni-rich Co-poor cathodes operating at high-voltage is one of the most important ways to achieve higher energy Li-ion batteries. However, the Li/O loss and Li/Ni mixing under high-temperature lithiation result in electrochemical kinetic hysteresis and structural instability. Herein, we report a highly-ordered single-crystalline LiNi0.85Co0.05Mn0.10O2(NCM85) cathode by doping K+and F-ions. To be specific, the K-ion as a fluxing agent can remarkably decrease the solid-state lithiation temperature by ~30°C, leading to less Li/Ni mixing and oxygen vacancy. Meanwhile, the strong transitional metal(TM)-F bonds are helpful for enhancing de-/lithiation kinetics and limiting the lattice oxygen escape even at 4.5 V high-voltage. Their advantages synergistically endow the single-crystalline NCM85 cathode with a very high reversible capacity of 222.3 mAh g-1. A superior capacity retention of 91.3% is obtained after 500 times at 1 C in pouch-type full cells, and a prediction value of 75.3% is given after cycling for 5000 h. These findings are reckoned to expedite the exploitation and application of high-voltage single-crystalline Ni-rich cathodes for next-generation Li-ion batteries.

文摘Incorporating organic bulky cations in the precursor or post-treatment to achieve two-dimensional/thr ee-dimensional(2D/3D)heterojunction is an effective strategy for enhancing the stability of perovskite materials.However,the issue of insufficient charge transport in 2D perovskites limits their development,and the fundamental mechanism of out-of-plane carrier transport remains unclear.This study designed and synthesized seven organic phenyl-core cations,differentiated at the 1-and 1,4-positions,and identified the impacts on the corresponding properties of the 2D crystalline perovskite.Shorter cations facilitated a more compact arrangement of adjacent inorganic layers,aligning to favor charge transport along the vertical direction.In addition,introducing high electronegativity led to increased intermolecular interactions,resulting in enhanced structural stability and improved phenyl ring π-orbital overlap and interlayer electron coupling,yielding efficient charge transport.Resilience to thermal stressing of the perovskite was strongly correlated with the carbon chain length of the spacer cations.The increase in cation length and the reduction in the rigidity of the amino-terminal both aided in the dispersion of thermal stress in the inorganic framework.Additional hydrogen bonding also contributed to mitigating structural disorder.

文摘The first-ever synthesis of the unknown furo[2,3:4,5]pyrimido[1,2-b]indazole skeleton was demonstrated based on the undiscovered tetra-functionalization of enaminones,with simple substrates and reaction conditions.The key to realizing this process lies in the multiple trapping of the in situ generated ketenimine cation by the 3-aminoindazole,which results in the formation of four new chemical bonds and two new rings in one pot.Moreover,the products of this new reaction were found to exhibit aggregationinduced emission(AIE)without modification.

文摘Dendrite growth represents one of the most significant challenges that impede the development of aqueous zinc-ion batteries.Herein,Gd^(3+)ions are introduced into conventional electrolytes as a microlevelling agent to achieve dendrite-free zinc electrodeposition.Simulation and experimental results demonstrate that these Gd^(3+)ions are preferentially adsorbed onto the zinc surface,which enables dendritefree zinc anodes by activating the microlevelling effect during electrodeposition.In addition,the Gd^(3+)additives effectively inhibit side reactions and facilitate the desolvation of[Zn(H_(2)O)_(6)]^(2+),leading to highly reversible zinc plating/stripping.Due to these improvements,the zinc anode demonstrates a significantly prolonged cycle life of 2100 h and achieves an exceptional average Coulombic efficiency of 99.72%over 1400 cycles.More importantly,the Zn//NH_(4)V_(4)O_(10)full cell shows a high capacity retention rate of 85.6%after 1000 cycles.This work not only broadens the application of metallic cations in battery electrolytes but also provides fundamental insights into their working mechanisms.

文摘Despite the growing interest in fast-cha rging solid-state lithium(Li)-metal batteries(SSLMBs),their practical implementation has yet to be achieved,primarily due to an incomplete understanding of the disparate and often conflicting requirements of the bulk electrolyte and the electrode-electrolyte interphase.Here,we present a weakly coordinating cationic polymer electrolyte(WCPE)specifically designed to regulate the Li^(+)coordination structure,thereby enabling fast-charging SSLMBs.The WCPE comprises an imidazolium-based polycationic matrix combined with a succinonitrile(SN)-based highconcentration electrolyte.Unlike conventional neutral polymer matrices,the polycationic matrix in the WCPE competes with Li^(+)for interactions with SN,weakening the original coordination between SN and Li^(+).This modulation of SN-Li^(+)interaction improves both Li^(+)conductivity of the WCPE(σ_(Li^(+))=1.29mS cm^(-1))and redox kinetics at the electrode-electrolyte interphase.Consequently,SSLMB cells(comprising LiFePO_(4)cathodes and Li-metal anodes)with the WCPE achieve fast-charging capability(reaching over 80%state of charge within 10 min),outperforming those of previously reported polymer electrolytebased SSLMBs.

文摘Living cationic polymerization of 4-acetoxystyrene(STO)was conducted in CH_(2)Cl_(2) at-15℃ using a dicumyl chloride(DCC)/SnCl_(4)/nBu_(4)NBr initiating system.Impurity moisture initiation was inhibited by adding proton trap 2,6-di-tert-butylpyridine(DTBP),and the controlled initiation of DCC was confirmed by ^(1)H nuclear magnetic resonance(^(1)H-NMR)spectroscopy and matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-offlight mass(MALDI-TOF-MS)spectrometry.The polymerization kinetics were analyzed to for optimizing the polymerization rate.Allyl-telechelic PSTOs(allyl-PSTO-allyl)with molecular weight(Mn)range of 3540–7800 g/mol and narrow molecular weight dispersity(Mw/Mn)about 1.25 were prepared through nucleophilic substitution with allyltrimethylsilane(ATMS)at approximately 40%monomer conversion.The experimental results indicate that the substitution efficiency of ATMS increased with higher ATMS concentration,temperature,and extended reaction time.Nearly unity ally-functionality for allyl-PSTO-allyl was achieved by adding sufficient SnCl_(4) prior to the substitution.

文摘Cation segregation on cathode surfaces plays a key role in determining the activity and operational stability of solid oxide fuel cells(SOFCs).The double perovskite oxide PrBa_(0.8)Ca_(0.2)Co_(2)O_(5+δ)(PBCC)has been widely studied as an active cathode but still suffer from serious detrimental segregations.To enhance the cathode stability,a PBCC derived A-site medium-entropy Pr_(0.6)La_(0.1)Nd_(0.1)Sm_(0.1)Gd_(0.1)Ba_(0.8)Ca_(0.2)Co_(2)O_(5+δ)(ME-PBCC)oxide was prepared and its segregation behaviors were investigated under different conditions.Compared with initial PBCC oxide,the segregations of BaO and Co_(3)O_(4)on the surface of ME-PBCC material are significantly suppressed,especially for Co_(3)O_(4),which is attributed to its higher configuration entropy.Our results also confirm the improved electrochemical performance and structural stability of ME-PBCC material,enabling it as a promising cathode for SOFCs.

文摘Limited models have been devised using Stern theory to obtain the repulsive force from a double layer.Moreover,an elastoplastic model that differentiates various swelling behaviors because of exchangeable cation species is yet to be devised.In this study,we introduce a novel multiphysics elastoplastic model for swelling geomaterials that incorporates Stern theory.This model considered the finite size of exchangeable cations and specific adsorption phenomena,which are typically overlooked in existing models.Based on Stern theory,we derived the repulsive force from the double layer and integrated the force into the elastoplastic expansive bedrock model,which addresses electroechemoemechanical phenomena in the interlayer.The proposed model differentiated swelling behaviors based on the type of exchangeable cation species by incorporating these phenomena.To validate the model,a onedimensional(1D)numerical analysis was performed,demonstrating its capability to describe various swelling behaviors due to different exchangeable cation species through comparison with free swelling test results of bentonite.Additionally,a parametric study was conducted to elucidate the effect of the hydrated radius of exchangeable cations and the specific adsorption potential on swelling behavior,analyzed from the perspective of the equilibrium of charge distribution near the mineral surface.

文摘Anion exchange membranes(AEMs)combining high hydroxide conductivity and alkali-resistant stability have become a major challenge for the long-term development of anion exchange membrane fuel cells(AEMFCs).Here,we designed a series of poly(mequitazine-terphenyl piperidinium)(QPMTP-X)AEMs with dual-functionalized quaternary ammonium cations by introducing a certain proportion of large steric hindrance mequitazine(MEQ)molecular building unit into the poly(aryl piperidinium)backbone.QPMTP-X retains the excellent mechanical properties of the poly(aryl piperidinium),while also combining the alkaline stability and high ionic conductivity exhibited by MEQ with flexible quinuclidinium side chains,achieving an overall improvement of membrane performance.Notably,QPMTP-30 exhibits an ultra-high conductivity of up to 206.83 mS cm^(-1)and excellent alkaline stability(over 95%conductivity is maintained after 1000 h of conditioning in 2 M NaOH at 80℃).In fuel cell performance test,QPMTP-30 achieves a peak power density(PPD)of 974.5 mW cm^(-2)and operates stably at 80℃for more than 60 h(0.1 A cm^(-2)).Incorporating large steric hindrance building blocks and multi-cations into the poly(aryl piperidinium)backbone not only synergizes the development of highperformance AEMs but also opens up new ideas for the structural design of future AEMs.
文摘Cancer remains a significant challenge to public health worldwide and ranks among the leading contributors to mortality in diverse populations.This persistent impact underscores the need for proactive approaches to reduce its incidence.Chemoprevention focuses on interrupting tumor development through naturally occurring compounds,particularly plant-derived bioactive com-pounds.These phytochemicals exert protective effects by modulating key molecular pathways and enhancing detoxification.Of particular interest are those that regulate phase I and II enzymes,facilitating carcinogen elimination and mitigating cellular damage associated with cancer progression.This review examines phytochemicals from plant-derived functional foods that enhance detoxification pathways for cancer prevention,summarizing current evidence and future directions for their clinical application and dietary integration.Emphasis is placed on specific bioactive constituents,such as sulforaphane from cruciferous vegetables,organosulfur compounds in garlic,betanin from beetroot,a spectrum of citrus fruitflavonoids includingβ-cryptoxanthin,hesperidin,and nobiletin,epigallocatechin-3-gallate from green tea,and curcumin derived from turmeric.These naturally occurring compounds regulate enzymatic pathways involved in xenobiotic metabolism,underscoring their relevance in nutritional oncology.Findings from diverse experimental models show they inhibit phase I enzymes,induce phase II detox enzymes,activate the Nrf2 signaling pathway,and modulate gene expression epigenetically.Collectively,these multifaceted actions contribute to their protective role against carcinogenesis.Although natural approaches show promise for cancer prevention,they face challenges related to bioavailability,standardization,and clinical validation,necessitating further research for effective integration into evidence-based oncology.
