Organic redox-active molecules have been identified as promising cathodes for practical usage of potassium-ion batteries (PIBs) but still struggle with serious dissolution problems and sluggish kinetic properties. Herein, we propose a pseudocapacitance-dominated novel insoluble carbonyl-based cathode, [2,6-di[1-(perylene-3,4,9,10-tetracarboxydiimide)]anthraquinone, AQ-diPTCDI], which possesses high reversible capacities of 150 mAh g, excellent cycle stability with capacity retention of 88% over 2000 cycles, and fast kinetic properties. The strong intermolecular interactions of AQ-diPTCDI and formed cathode electrolyte interphase films support it against the dissolution problem. The high capacitive-like contribution in capacities and fast potassium-ion diffusion enhance its reaction kinetics. Moreover, a symmetric organic potassium-ion battery (OPIB) based on AQ-diPTCDI electrodes also exhibits outstanding K-storage capability. These results suggest that AQ-diPTCDI is a promising organic cathode for OPIBs and provide a practicable route to realize high-performance K storage.

Amniotic epithelial stem cells (AEC) hold potential for tissue regeneration, especially through their conditioned medium (AEC-CM) due to their immunomodulatory and regenerative effects. Nevertheless, advanced drug delivery systems such as hydrogels are needed to enable clinical applications. Herein, an gellable hyaluronic acid and polyethylene glycol-based iEDDA-cross-linked hydrogel was developed for the encapsulation and controlled release of AEC-CM.

Clusters serve as the optimal model to elucidate the structure-property relationship of materials, bridging condensed matter and individual atoms. The pursuit of exceptionally stable clusters has garnered significant interest. The distinctive electronic configuration and symmetrical geometry generally provide a consistent rationale for their stability.

Article Synopsis
- The study details the characterization of a mutated variant of copper-containing nitrite reductase (SmNirK) from S. meliloti, where the catalytic aspartate (Asp) is replaced with serine (Ser) via site-directed mutagenesis.
- The D134S variant retains the homotrimer structure and similar T1 electron transfer center to the wild-type, but shows altered electronic properties in the T2 active site, impacting its enzymatic efficiency and pH dependence.
- EPR studies reveal significant changes in the T2 properties due to the mutation, highlighting the role of T2 ligands in catalysis and suggesting a potential mechanism for electron transfer influenced by the Asp/Ser switch.

In this paper, Mg/Al-layered double hydroxide (Mg/Al-LDH) was modified with the natural polymers sodium alginate and guar gum, and the prepared GG/SA/Mg-Al-LDH composite microsphere adsorbent (G-LDH) showed better adsorption performance for Congo red and hexavalent chromium in aqueous solution than the Mg/Al-LDH. The adsorption and surface properties of G-LDH in terms of functional groups, basic constituent elements and structural properties were obtained by different techniques. SEM shows that the average particle size of G-LDH is between 400 and 900 nm and exhibits a distinct microsphere morphology.
