Two-dimensional layer-structure materials are now of great interest in energy storage devices, owing to their graphene-like structure and high theoretical capacity. Herein, graphene-like molybdenum disulfide (MoS) nanosheets were uniformly grown on carbon fabrics by using a hydrothermal method. They were evaluated as binder-free electrodes for Li-ion batteries (LIBs) and supercapacitors. As expected, long cycling life and high capacity/capacitance are achieved. When used as self-standing electrodes for LIBs, they deliver a high area capacity of ∼0.5 mAh/cm even after 400 cycles and remarkable rate capability in the charge/discharge potential range of 1-3 V. In addition, a three-dimensional integrated electrode of the MoS nanosheet exhibits a high capacitance of 103.5 mF/cm and long cycling stability up to at least 15 000 cycles at a current density of 3 mA/cm for supercapacitors. The great cycling stability of MoS in supercapacitors is promising in the enhancement of cycling stability through their integration with other materials as alternatives to graphene in some special fields.

The rapid advancements in 3C electronic devices necessitate an increase in the charge cutoff voltage of LiCoO to unlock a higher energy density that surpasses the currently available levels. However, the structural devastation and electrochemical decay of LiCoO are significantly exacerbated, particularly at ≥4.5 V, due to the stress concentration caused by more severe lattice expansion and shrinkage, coupled with heterogeneous Li intercalation/deintercalation reactions.

Solid-state metallic potassium batteries (SSMPBs) afresh have attracted incremental attention because of their potential to supplement solid-state metallic lithium batteries. However, SSMPBs suffer poor electrochemical performances due to the low ionic conductivity of solid electrolytes and huge electrode/electrolyte interfacial resistance. Herein, high-rate SSMPBs are achieved by in situ ring-opening polymerization of 1,3-dioxolane with succinonitrile as a plasticizer and Al(OTf) as the catalyst, where the succinonitrile enables short-chain polyether electrolytes.

Fluid shear stress (FSS) from blood flow sensed by vascular endothelial cells (ECs) determines vessel behavior, but regulatory mechanisms are only partially understood. We used cell state transition assessment and regulation (cSTAR), a powerful computational method, to elucidate EC transcriptomic states under low shear stress (LSS), physiological shear stress (PSS), high shear stress (HSS), and oscillatory shear stress (OSS) that induce vessel inward remodeling, stabilization, outward remodeling, or disease susceptibility, respectively. Combined with a publicly available database on EC transcriptomic responses to drug treatments, this approach inferred a regulatory network controlling EC states and made several notable predictions.

This work aims to deal with the challenges associated with designing complementary bifunctional electrocatalysts and a separator/membrane that enables rechargeable zinc-air batteries (RZABs) with nearly solid-state operability. This solid-state RZAB was accomplished by integrating a bifunctional electrocatalyst based on Ru-RuO interface nanoparticles supported on nitrogen-doped (N-doped) graphene (Ru-RuO/NGr) and a dual-doped poly(acrylic acid) hydrogel (d-PAA) electrolyte soaked in KOH with sodium stannate additive. The catalyst shows enhanced activity and stability toward the two oxygen reactions, i.
