The growing pursuit of athleticism and healthy life makes it appealing for individuals to track their real-time health and exercise data seamlessly. While numerous devices enable sports and health monitoring, maintaining comfort over long periods remains a considerable challenge, especially in high-intensity and sweaty sports scenarios. Textiles, with their breathability, deformability, and moisture-wicking abilities, ensure exceptional comfort during prolonged wear, making them ideal for wearable platforms. This review summarized the progress of research on textile-based sports monitoring devices. First, the design principles and fabrication methods of smart textiles were introduced systematically. Textiles undergo a distinctive fiber-yarn-fabric or fiber-fabric manufacturing process that allows for the regulation of performance and the integration of functional elements at every step. Then, the performance requirements for precise sports data collection of smart textiles, including main vital signs, joint movement, and data transmission, were discussed. Lastly, the applications of smart textiles in various sports scenarios are demonstrated. Additionally, the review provides an in-depth analysis of the emerging challenges, strategies, and opportunities for the research and development of sports-oriented smart textiles. Smart textiles not only maintain comfort and accuracy in sports, but also serve as inexpensive and efficient information-gathering terminals. Therefore, developing multifunctional, cost-effective textile-based systems for personalized sports and healthcare is a pressing need for the future of intelligent sports.展开更多

文摘Most organic electrode materials(OEMs)for rechargeable batteries employ n-type redox centers,whose redox potentials are intrinsically limited<3.0 V versus Li^(+)/Li.However,p-type materials possessing high redox potentials experience low specific capacities because they are capable of only a single redox reaction within the stable electrochemical window of typical electrolytes.Herein,we report 5,11-diethyl-5,11-dihydroindolo[3,2-b]carbazole(DEICZ)as a novel p-type OEM,exhibiting stable plateaus at high discharge potentials of 3.44 and 4.09 V versus Li^(+)/Li.Notably,the second redox potential of DEICZ is within the stable electrochemical window.The mechanism of the double redox reaction is investigated using both theoretical calculations and experimental measurements,including density functional theory calculations,ex situ electron spin resonance,and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy.Finally,hybridization with single-walled carbon nanotubes(SWCNT)improves the cycle stability and rate performance of DEICZ owing to theπ-πinteractions between the SWCNT and co-planar molecular structure of DEICZ,preventing the dissolution of active materials into the electrolyte.The DEICZ/SWCNT composite electrode maintains 70.4%of its initial specific capacity at 1-C rate and also exhibits high-rate capability,even performing well at 100-C rate.Furthermore,we demonstrate its potential for flexible batteries after applying 1000 bending stresses to the composite electrode.

文摘Superconducting materials hold great potential in high field magnetic applications compared to traditional conductive materials.At present,practical superconducting materials include low-temperature superconductors such as NbTi and Nb3Sn,high-temperature superconductors such as Bi-2212,Bi-2223,YBCO,iron-based superconductors and MgB2.The development of low-temperature superconducting wires started earlier and has now entered the stage of industrialized production,showing obvious advantages in mechanical properties and cost under low temperature and middle-low magnetic field.However,due to the insufficient intrinsic superconducting performance,low-temperature superconductors are unable to exhibit excellent performance at high temperature or high fields.Further improvement of supercurrent carrying performance mainly depends on the enhancement of pinning ability.High-temperature superconductors have greater advantages in high temperature and high field,but many of them are still in the stage of further performance improvement.Many high-temperature superconductors are limited by the deficiency in their polycrystalline structure,and further optimization of intergranular connectivity is required.In addition,it is also necessary to further enhance their pinning ability.The numerous successful application instances of high-temperature superconducting wires and tapes also prove their tremendous potential in electric power applications.

文摘This study explores the impact of introducing vacancy in the transition metal layer of rationally designed Na_(0.6)[Ni_(0.3)Ru_(0.3)Mn_(0.4)]O_(2)(NRM)cathode material.The incorporation of Ru,Ni,and vacancy enhances the structural stability during extensive cycling,increases the operation voltage,and induces a capacity increase while also activating oxygen redox,respectively,in Na_(0.7)[Ni_(0.2)V_(Ni0.1)Ru_(0.3)Mn_(0.4)]O_(2)(V-NRM)compound.Various analytical techniques including transmission electron microscopy,X-ray absorption near edge spectroscopy,operando X-ray diffraction,and operando differential electrochemical mass spectrometry are employed to assess changes in the average oxidation states and structural distortions.The results demonstrate that V-NRM exhibits higher capacity than NRM and maintains a moderate capacity retention of 81%after 100 cycles.Furthermore,the formation of additional lone-pair electrons in the O 2p orbital enables V-NRM to utilize more capacity from the oxygen redox validated by density functional calculation,leading to a widened dominance of the OP4 phase without releasing O_(2) gas.These findings offer valuable insights for the design of advanced high-capacity cathode materials with improved performance and sustainability in sodium-ion batteries.

文摘This review highlights the importance of recovering valuable metals from spent Li-ion battery(LIB)cathodes through the resynthesis of cathode active materials(CAMs).The resynthesis process of CAMs,a promising recycling method that directly produces CAM precursors from LIB leachate,is explored.This process encompasses six key steps,including pretreatment,leaching,purification,adjustment of metal concentrations,precursor synthesis,and sintering.The review also investigates the potential introduction of impurity elements during CAM resynthesis and provides tolerance levels for these impurities based on thorough reference analysis.Additionally,it addresses challenges related to the commercialization of the resynthesis process.Notably,this review represents the first comprehensive assessment of CAM resynthesis,including the systematic evaluation of 12 impurity elements(Fe,Li,Al,Cu,C,P,F,Na,Cl,S,Mg,and Zn).Overall,this comprehensive review is poised to support the commercial development of resynthesized CAMs by offering valuable guidelines for managing impurities and streamlining the purification process.

With the in-depth investigation of two-dimensional materials, another degree of freedom, valley, has also attracted tremendous research interest. The intrinsic spontaneous valley polarization in two-dimensional magnetic systems, ferrovalley material, provides convenience for detecting and modulating the valley. In this review, we first introduce the development of valleytronics.Then, the valley polarization forms by the p-, d-, and f-orbit that are discussed. Following, we discuss the investigation progress of modulating the valley polarization of two-dimensional ferrovalley materials by multiple physical fields, such as electric, stacking mode, strain, and interface. Finally, we look forward to the future developments of valleytronics.

文摘The use of Mg-based materials as solid-state hydrogen storage materials can provide a viable solution to the bottleneck hindering the development of hydrogen energy.However,it is necessary to address their excessively stable thermodynamic properties and sluggish kinetic performances.In this study,we prepared a Ni-N-C ternary nanocomposite(designated as Ni@NC)catalyst using Ni-based metal-organic frameworks(Ni-MOFs)as a precursor for catalytic MgH_(2) hydrogen storage properties.The Ni@NC catalyst exhibited excellent promotion effects on the hydrogen absorption and desorption kinetics and the cycling stability of the Mg-based materials.Notably,the composite exhibited room-temperature hydrogen absorption initiation and an onset dehydrogenation temperature of 188℃,with complete hydrogenation achieved after holding at 100℃ for 60 min.After undergoing 100 cycles of absorption/dehydrogenation,the capacity retention rate was 99.5%.The differential scanning calorimetry(DSC)test results indicated that the re-hydrogenated MgH_(2)-Ni@NC composites consist of Mg_(2) NiH_(4) and MgH_(2),with corresponding dehydrogenation activation energies of 75.2 and 82.9 kJ mol^(-1) respectively.The mechanism analysis revealed that Ni@NC was uniformly distributed on the MgH_(2) surface.During dehydrogena-tion/rehydrogenation,Mg_(2) NiH_(4)/Mg_(2) Ni“hydrogen pumping”by Ni and MgH_(2)/Mg occurred in situ,the presence of N-C effectively inhibited the expansion of MgH_(2)/Mg,and the enhanced charge transfer effect was facilitated by N in the Ni@NC composite,synergistically enhancing the kinetic performance and cycling stability of MgH_(2).

文摘Organic long-persistent luminescence(LPL)materials,featuring low preparation cost,eco-friendly synthesis,and easy modification of functional groups,have exhibited extensive applications in information encryption,anti-counterfeiting,and biological imaging.Several design strategies including crystallization-inducement,H-aggregation,and host-vip doping to enhance persistent-room-temperature phosphorescence(RTP)effect by precisely controlling intersystem crossing(ISC)constant and suppressing nonradiative decay rates,those are important strategies to enable LPL performance.Among the strategies,researchers have made several efforts to enhance persistent-RTP effect by host-vip interaction,in which the host matrices provide a rigid environment for phosphor vip molecules.The interaction of the luminescent vip molecules with the host matrix can effectively reduce the vibration and rotation of the luminescent molecules,and suppress the non-radiative inactivation,thereby improving the phosphorescence quantum yield.This review aims to summarize several design strategies of pure organic LPL materials based on persistent-RTP effect through host-vip interaction,and describe some applications of pure organic LPL materials in different fields.

文摘The combination of dual-main-phase(DMP)(Nd,Ce)-Fe-B magnets and grain boundary diffusion process(GBDP)is currently a research topic for obtaining high-cost performance materials in rare earth permanent magnet fields.The novel structural features of GBDP(Nd,Ce)-Fe-B magnets give a version of different domain reversal processes from those of non-diffused magnets.In this work,the in-situ magnetic domain evolution of the DMP magnets was observed at elevated temperatures,and the temperature demagnetization and coercivity mechanism of the GBDP dual-main-phase(Nd,Ce)-Fe-B magnets are discussed.The results show that the shell composition of different types of grains in DMP magnets is similar,while the magnetic microstructure results indicate the Ce-rich grains tend to demagnetize first.Dy-rich shell with a high anisotropic field caused by GBDP leads to an increase in the nucleation field,which enhances the coercivity.It is found that much more grains exhibit single domain characteristics in the remanent state for GBDP dual-main-phase(Nd,Ce)-Fe-B magnets.In addition,the grains that undergo demagnetization first are Ce-rich or Nd-rich grains,which is different from that of non-diffused magnets.These results were not found in previous studies but can be intuitively characterized from the perspective of magnetic domains in this work,providing a new perspective and understanding of the performance improvement of magnetic materials.

文摘Advances in wearable electronics and information technology drive sports data collection and analysis toward real-time visualization and precision. The growing pursuit of athleticism and healthy life makes it appealing for individuals to track their real-time health and exercise data seamlessly. While numerous devices enable sports and health monitoring, maintaining comfort over long periods remains a considerable challenge, especially in high-intensity and sweaty sports scenarios. Textiles, with their breathability, deformability, and moisture-wicking abilities, ensure exceptional comfort during prolonged wear, making them ideal for wearable platforms. This review summarized the progress of research on textile-based sports monitoring devices. First, the design principles and fabrication methods of smart textiles were introduced systematically. Textiles undergo a distinctive fiber-yarn-fabric or fiber-fabric manufacturing process that allows for the regulation of performance and the integration of functional elements at every step. Then, the performance requirements for precise sports data collection of smart textiles, including main vital signs, joint movement, and data transmission, were discussed. Lastly, the applications of smart textiles in various sports scenarios are demonstrated. Additionally, the review provides an in-depth analysis of the emerging challenges, strategies, and opportunities for the research and development of sports-oriented smart textiles. Smart textiles not only maintain comfort and accuracy in sports, but also serve as inexpensive and efficient information-gathering terminals. Therefore, developing multifunctional, cost-effective textile-based systems for personalized sports and healthcare is a pressing need for the future of intelligent sports.

文摘It is very appealing that 5-hydroxymethylfurfural(HMF)is electrocatalytical oxidized as 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid(FDCA)linking to non-classical cathodic hydrogen(H_(2))production.However,the electrocatalysts for electrocatalytic HMF oxidative reaction(e-HMFOR)have been facing low Faradaic efficiency(FE)and high water splitting voltage.Herein,we propose a strategy of the NiSeO_(3)@(CoSeO_(3))_(4)heterojunction by constructing a Co-Ni paired site,where the Co site is in charge of adsorbing for HMF while the electrons are transferred to the Ni site,thus giving the NiSeO_(3)@(CoSeO_(3))_(4)heterojunction superior electrocata lytic performances for e-HMFOR and water splitting.By optimizing conditions,the NiSeO_(3)@(CoSeO_(3))_(4)heterojunction has high conversion of 99.7%,high selectivity of 99.9%,and high FE of 98.4%at 1.3 V,as well as low cell voltage of 1.31 V at 10 mA cm^(-2)in 1 M KOH+0.1 M HMF.This study offers a potential insight for e-HMFOR to high value-added FDCA coupling water splitting to produce H_(2)in an economical manner.
文摘Plasma electrolytic oxidation(PEO)coatings were prepared on Al−Mg laminated macro composites(LMCs)using both unipolar and bipolar waveforms in an appropriate electrolyte for both aluminum and magnesium alloys.The techniques of FESEM/EDS,grazing incident beam X-ray diffraction(GIXRD),and electrochemical methods of potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy(EIS)were used to characterize the coatings.The results revealed that the coatings produced using the bipolar waveform exhibited lower porosity and higher thickness than those produced using the unipolar one.The corrosion performance of the specimens’cut edge was investigated using EIS after 1,8,and 12 h of immersion in a 3.5 wt.%NaCl solution.It was observed that the coating produced using the bipolar waveform demonstrated the highest corrosion resistance after 12 h of immersion,with an estimated corrosion resistance of 5.64 kΩ·cm^(2),which was approximately 3 times higher than that of the unipolar coating.Notably,no signs of galvanic corrosion were observed in the LMCs,and only minor corrosion attacks were observed on the magnesium layer in some areas.
