Unlocking Four-electron Conversion in Tellurium Cathodes for Advanced Magnesium-based Dual-ion Batteries.

Magnesium (Mg) batteries hold promise as a large-scale energy storage solution, but their progress has been hindered by the lack of high-performance cathodes. Here, we address this challenge by unlocking the reversible four-electron Te/Te conversion in elemental Te, enabling the demonstration of superior Mg//Te dual-ion batteries. Specifically, the classic magnesium aluminum chloride complex (MACC) electrolyte is tailored by introducing Mg bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (Mg(TFSI)), which initiates the Te/Te conversion with two distinct charge-storage steps.

Proton-selective coating enables fast-kinetics high-mass-loading cathodes for sustainable zinc batteries.

The pressing demand for sustainable energy storage solutions has spurred the burgeoning development of aqueous zinc batteries. However, kinetics-sluggish Zn as the dominant charge carriers in cathodes leads to suboptimal charge-storage capacity and durability of aqueous zinc batteries. Here, we discover that an ultrathin two-dimensional polyimine membrane, featured by dual ion-transport nanochannels and rich proton-conduction groups, facilitates rapid and selective proton passing.

Revealing maleic acid role in the preparation of α-hemihydrate gypsum from titanium gypsum through experiments and DFT calculations.

Titanium gypsum (TG) is rarely used to produce α-hemihydrate gypsum (α-HH) because of its poor crystallinity and high impurity and moisture contents. Here, a method is proposed to prepare α - HH by adjusting the reaction temperature, CaCl solution concentration and maleic acid dosage based on acid leaching and heat-treated TG as raw material. The effect of maleic acid and Fe ions on the preparation of α-HH were systematically analyzed using density functional theory (DFT) and typical materials characterization methods, X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS).

Realizing Highly-Ordered Laser-Reduced Graphene for High-Performance Flexible Microsupercapacitor.

Laser reduction of graphene oxide (GO) with direct-write technology is promising to develop miniaturized energy storage devices because of highly flexible, mask-free, and chemical-free merits. However, laser reduction of GO is often accompanied with deflagration (spectacular and violent deoxygenating reaction), leading reduced graphene oxide (rGO) films into brittle and irregular internal structure which is harmful to the applications. Here, a pre-reduction strategy is demonstrated to avoid this deflagration and realize a uniform laser-reduced GO (LrGO) matrix for the application of flexible micro-supercapacitors (MSCs).

The Long Noncoding RNA Cytoskeleton Regulator RNA (CYTOR)/miRNA-24-3p Axis Facilitates Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma Progression by Modulating GAD1 Expression.

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is a head and neck epithelial carcinoma that is unusually prevalent in Southeast Asia. Noncoding RNAs, including lncRNA and miRNA, and their target genes are considered vital regulators of tumorigenesis and the progression of NPC. However, the detailed underlying mechanisms of GAD1 involved in the regulation of NPC need to be further elucidated.

RBCK1 Overexpression Attenuates Inflammation and Mobility of Derp1-Induced Nasal Mucosal Cells by Downregulating NLRP3.
