Controlling the oxide ion (O) concentration in oxides is essential to develop advanced ionic devices, solid oxide fuel cells, smart windows, memory devices, energy storage devices, and so on. Among many oxides several transition metal (TM)-based perovskite oxides show high oxide ion conductivity, and their physical properties show high sensitivity to the change of the oxide ion concentration. Here, the change in the oxide ion concentration is shown through the overlayer deposition on the SrFeCoO (SFCO) oxygen sponge film. We grew SFCO films followed by the deposition of two kinds of complex oxide films under exactly the same growth conditions, and observed the changes in the crystal structure, valence states, and magnetic ground states. As the NSMO overlayer grows, strong evidence of oxidation at the O K edge is shown. In addition, the Fe feature is revealed, and the electron valence state of Co increased from 3 to 3.25. The oxide ion concentration of SFCO changes during layer growth due to oxidation or reduction due to differences in chemical potential. The present results might be useful to develop advanced ionic devices using TM-based perovskite oxides.

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a globally prevalent degenerative joint disease. Recent studies highlight the role of ferroptosis in OA progression. Targeting ferroptosis regulation presents a promising therapeutic strategy for OA; however, current research primarily focuses on single targets associated with ferroptosis.

Terrestrial vegetation is a key component of the Earth system, regulating the exchange of carbon, water, and energy between land and atmosphere. Vegetation affects soil moisture dynamics by absorbing and transpiring soil water, thus modulating land-atmosphere interactions. Moreover, changes in vegetation structure (e.

Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) remains a formidable challenge due to high recurrence rates and limited efficacy of conventional treatments. Immunotherapy holds potential, but its effectiveness is often restricted by low patient responsiveness. This study presents a novel therapeutic strategy using GSH/pH-responsive copper-based cascade nanocomplexes to induce immunogenic cell death (ICD) in OSCC.

Aqueous zinc-ion batteries are an appealing electrochemical energy storage solution due to their affordability and safety. Significant attention has been focused on vanadium oxide cathode materials for ZIBs, owing to their high specific capacity, unique layered or tunnel structures, and low cost. Compared to traditional methods for preparing and assembling electrode materials, direct current (DC) magnetron sputtering allows direct synthesis and uniform deposition on current collectors, offering advantages such as simplicity, mild reaction conditions, and strong film adhesion.

Renewable energy-powered seawater electrolysis is a green and attractive technique for producing high-purity hydrogen. However, severe chlorideions (Cl) and their derivatives tend to corrode anodic catalysts at ampere-level current densities and hinder the application of seawater-to-H systems. Herein, a polycalmagite (PCM)-coated NiFe layered double hydroxide is presented on Ni foam (NiFe LDH@PCM/NF) that exhibits exceptional stability in alkaline seawater.
