In this work, a separator modified by composite material of graphite fluoride nanosheets and poly(vinylidene difluoride) (GFNs-PVDF) is fabricated to in-situ construct a protective layer on Li metal anodes. The much-improved mechanical properties of this organic/inorganic protecting layer ensure efficient restriction on the growth of Li dendrites. The LiF and graphene nanosheets generated by the reaction of GFNs with lithium metal can not only provide fast transport channels for Li ions but also protect the Li metal anode from continuous corrosion of electrolytes. In addition, GFNs' lithiophilic nature guarantees the uniform Li nucleation site and perfect contact between li metal and the protecting layer without void space, leading to a low interfacial impedance and layer-by-layer lithium deposition. Together with the scalable method and cheap raw materials, this strategy provides new insights toward practical applications of Li metal batteries.

Model compression for real-time object detection using rigorous gradation pruning.

Faculty of Engineering, Technology and Built Environment, UCSI University, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

Achieving lightweight real-time object detection necessitates balancing model compression with detection accuracy, a difficulty exacerbated by low redundancy and uneven contributions from convolutional layers. As an alternative to traditional methods, we propose Rigorous Gradation Pruning (RGP), which uses a desensitized first-order Taylor approximation to assess filter importance, enabling precise pruning of redundant kernels. This approach includes the iterative reassessment of layer significance to protect essential layers, ensuring effective detection performance.

Bioinspired artificial antioxidases for efficient redox homeostasis and maxillofacial bone regeneration.

College of Polymer Science and Engineering, State Key Laboratory of Polymer Materials Engineering, Sichuan University, Chengdu, China.

Reconstructing large, inflammatory maxillofacial defects using stem cell-based therapy faces challenges from adverse microenvironments, including high levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS), inadequate oxygen, and intensive inflammation. Here, inspired by the reaction mechanisms of intracellular antioxidant defense systems, we propose the de novo design of an artificial antioxidase using Ru-doped layered double hydroxide (Ru-hydroxide) for efficient redox homeostasis and maxillofacial bone regeneration. Our studies demonstrate that Ru-hydroxide consists hydroxyls-synergistic monoatomic Ru centers, which efficiently react with oxygen species and collaborate with hydroxyls for rapid proton and electron transfer, thus exhibiting efficient, broad-spectrum, and robust ROS scavenging performance.
