In this study, Kodo millet starch was modified using dry heat treatment and heat-moisture treatment, followed by esterification with 3 % octenyl succinic anhydride to enhance its functional and structural properties for hybrid gel formulation and application as a fat replacer in cookies. Heat treatment before esterification significantly increased the degree of substitution (0.0068 to 0.0109) and particle size (9.22 to 10.43 μm). Morphological analysis revealed irregularities and aggregation, while X-ray diffraction indicated reduced crystallinity. The modified starches exhibited non-Newtonian, shear-thinning behavior with stronger gel elasticity. The dual-modified starch in hybrid gel formulations exhibited effective stabilization over 30 days, with improved emulsification properties. When used in reduced-fat cookies, they maintained acceptable texture and appealing color at both 50 % and 100 % shortening replacement levels. The organoleptic analysis confirmed that cookies with 100 % shortening replacement had increased overall acceptability, indicating the potential of dual-modified starch hybrid gels as effective fat replacers.

The rise of wearable electronics demands flexible energy storage solutions like flexible fiber energy storage devices (FESDs), known for their flexibility and portability. However, it remains difficult for existing fabrication methods (typically, finite-coating, thermal-drawing, and solution-extrusion) to simultaneously achieve desirable electrochemical performances and fast production of FESDs. Here, a new scalable coating-extrusion method is developed, utilizing a novel extruded spinneret with tapered apertures to create dual pressure zones.

SiO aerogel is a good thermal insulation material, but its porous nanostructure makes it brittle and has a poor mechanical property. SiO aerogel with a good elastic property was prepared by combining methyltrimethoxysilane (MTMS) and hexadecyltrimethoxysilane to form a composite organic silane precursor. However, its mechanical properties were not significantly improved.

Hybridization by multi-components in an aerogel is an efficient way to make nanoporous aerogel robust, high-temperature stable and multifunctional. While in the formation of aerogel network by a liquid-solid phase separation, solid-solid phase separation between the multi-component is likely to be triggered by enthalpy penalty, which would undermine the synergistically effects. Here, this work presents a copolymerized precursor that simultaneously incorporates two metals in one precursor, to efficiently suppress the potential solid-solid phase separation between the distinct components during sol-gel reaction.

Rechargeable aqueous aluminum ion batteries (AAIBs) offer a promising avenue for achieving safe, high-energy, and low-cost large-scale energy storage applications. However, the practical development of AAIBs is hindered by competitive reduction reactions in the aqueous solution, which lead to insufficient aluminum (Al) deposition and a severe hydrogen evolution reaction (HRE). In this work, an inorganic/organic hybrid hydrogel with a stable silicon-based network and multiple polar sites is successfully fabricated via an in situ sol-gel polymerization method.
