Customizing Pore Structure and Lithiophilic Sites Dual-Gradient Free-Standing 3D Lithium-Based Anode to Enable Excellent Lithium Metal Batteries.

Developing 3D hosts is one of the most promising strategies for putting forward the practical application of lithium(Li)-based anodes. However, the concentration polarization and uniform electric field of the traditional 3D hosts result in undesirable "top growth" of Li, reduced space utilization, and obnoxious dendrites. Herein, a novel dual-gradient 3D host (GDPL-3DH) simultaneously possessing gradient-distributed pore structure and lithiophilic sites is constructed by an electrospinning route.

The effect of intergenerational support from children on loneliness among older adults-the moderating effect of internet usage and intergenerational distance.

Objective: Loneliness is a key social and public health issue, mainly affecting the mental health of older adults. The article aimed to explore the influence of intergenerational support from children on loneliness among older adults. Meanwhile, the article also analyzed the moderating effects of internet usage and intergenerational distance in this process.

Study on the measurement of coupling and coordinated development level between China's internet and elderly care services and its influencing factors.

Background: With the intensification of China's aging population, the demand for elderly care services has become increasingly prominent. At the same time, rapid development of internet technology provides more convenience and possibilities for the elderly. However, the coordinated development between the internet and elderly care services still faces challenges.

Neighborhood effects on the health of elderly persons: evidence from China.

Background: Presently, global aging has become increasingly serious, whereas the health concerns brought by aging have become a public issue that warrants an urgent solution from all countries across the world. Therefore, this research paper discusses the influence of neighborhood health on elderly individuals' health, and extending a realistic basis for the other economies to improve the neighborhood environment and promote the health of the elderly.

Methods: Based on the data of CHARLS2018, this research paper adopts the samples that fulfill the study requirements (N = 7326).

Depletion of L-Methionine in Foods with an Engineered Thermophilic Methionine γ-lyase Efficiently Inhibits Tumor Growth.

Dietary restriction of l-methionine, an essential amino acid, exerts potent antitumor effects on l-methionine-dependent cancers. However, dietary restriction of l-methionine has not been practical for human therapy because of the problem with the administration of l-methionine concentration in foods. Here, a thermophilic methionine γ-lyase (MGL), that catalyzes the cleavage of the C-S bond in l-methionine to produce α-ketobutyric acid, methanethiol, and ammonia was engineered from human cystathionine γ-lyase and almost completely depleted l-methionine at 65 °C, a temperature that accelerates the volatilization of methanethiol and its oxidation products.

The impact of neighborhood mental health on the mental health of older adults.

Background: In this article, we use cross-sectional data obtained from the 2018 China Health and Aging Tracking Survey (CHARLS) to examine the impact of neighborhood mental health at the community level on the mental health of older adults aged 60 years and older.

Methods: NMH is the average mental health of older adults in the same community, excluding the older adults themselves. The explained variable mental health in this paper was measured using the simple CES-D depression scale.

A Thin Composite Polymer Electrolyte Functionalized by a Novel Antihydrolysis Additive to Enable All-Solid-State Lithium Battery with Excellent Rate and Cycle Performance.

Composite solid-state electrolyte (CSE) incorporated with fluorine-containing functional additives usually endows the assembled cell with improved electrochemical performance by forming stable electrode/electrolyte interfaces. However, most of fluorine-containing additives are prone to hydrolysis, which is not suitable for the large-scale preparation of CSEs. In this work, an antihydrolysis and fluorine-containing additive of magnesium 2,3,4,5,6-pentafluorophenylacetate (MgPFPAA) is successfully synthesized and then used to regulate the properties of the electrode/electrolyte interfaces of the all-solid-state lithium batteries (ASSLBs).

Neighborhood health effects on the physical health of the elderly: Evidence from the CHRLS 2018.

Background: There are more than 26 million elderly people in China, and due to the Health China strategy proposed in 2020, "Elderly Health" has become an important topic of concern for all sectors of society. Neighborhoods provide important social relationships. However, Chinese researchers have not extensively explored the impact of these relationships on the physical health of the elderly.

A three-stage DEA-based efficiency evaluation of social security expenditure in China.

There is an increasingly growth of China's social security expenditure(SSE) during the past decade. Regarding to the great responsibility and impact on citizens' welfare and economic development, the efficiency of social security expenditure has inevitably become the focus of growing attention. Based on Chinese provincial panel data over the period 2007-2016, a three-stage DEA model was conducted and found that the efficiency level of 29 provinces/municipalities did not reach the efficiency frontier.
