The integration of nanocatalysts into the separators of lithium–sulfur batteries (LSBs) boosts the polysulfide conversion efficiency. However, the aggregation of catalyst nanoparticles diminishes the active surface area. Moreover, densely packed catalyst-modified layers often hinder ion transport rates and impede access to the catalytic sites. To overcome t...
Continue readingDynamic and reversible manipulation of circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) in soft materials is highly desirable for advanced chiroptical devices, information encryption, and labeling technology. However, this remains a formidable challenge in circularly polarized organic ultralong room-temperature phosphorescence (CP-OURTP) materials. Herein, a bilayered chi...
Continue readingBreast cancer remains the second most common cause of cancer-related deaths in women worldwide, with ≈70% of cases linked to the overexpression of Estrogen Receptor (ERα). Existing imaging tools often fail to reliably differentiate between ER-positive and ER-negative cancer cells. To address this limitation, two novel fluorescent probes, E2N and E2R, ...
Continue readingPrecisely capturing and manipulating microscale objects, such as individual cells and microorganisms, is fundamental to advancements in biomedical research and microrobotics. Photoactuators based on optical fibers serving as flexible, unobstructed waveguides are well-suited for these operations, particularly in confined locations where free-space illumination is ...
Continue readingThe Co-free Li[Ni0.75Mn0.25]O2 (NM7525) cathode offers the significant advantage of low production costs. However, it requires a high-voltage charging process (≥4.5 V vs Li/Li⁺) to achieve the energy density level of high-Ni Li[NixCoyMnz]O2 (x ≥ 0.8) cathodes, which leads to severe structural and morphological degradation in the secondary particles during p...
