    查看更多>>摘要:Hydrogels,which are three-dimensional networks of crosslinked hydrophilic polymers,have become crucial for various advanced applications owing to their exceptional water absorption and swelling properties.This review explores the applications of hydrogels based on their unique swelling properties,beyond their application in tradi-tional drug delivery,focusing on atmospheric water harvesting,hydrogel actuator,expansion microscopy(ExM),and 3D nanofabrication through controlled deswelling.We first discuss the factors influencing hydrogel swelling,such as network size and polymer properties.Next,we explore the mechanisms underlying hydrogel swelling,emphasizing the interplay between various forces.Hydrogel swelling enables ExM for super-resolution imaging of biological tissues,while controlled deswelling of hydrogels facilitates the creation of intricate 3D structures with nanoscale precision—a breakthrough for additive manufacturing techniques.Despite these advantages,chal-lenges still remain.We conclude this review by emphasizing the need for interdisciplinary research to address these limitations and unlock the full potential of the hydrogel technology.The future of hydrogel research holds promise for revolutionary contributions to environmental science,robotics,and biomedical imaging.

    查看更多>>摘要:Supercapacitors have garnered significant attention due to their superior power density,excellent cycle stability,and fast charge/discharge rates.The properties of the electrode materials determine the charge storage perfor-mance of supercapacitors.Covalent organic frameworks(COFs)are a novel class of crystalline porous polymer materials with uniform nanoscale pores,large specific surface areas,and tunable redox-active groups within the framework,which can be tuned to suit specific applications.They have flexible molecular designs and synthetic strategies,demonstrating their strong application potential in the field of energy storage.Most COFs exhibit poor inherent conductivity and low utilization of active sites,resulting in incomplete electrochemical performance.Hybrid systems can be developed by incorporating redox-active groups,hydrogen bonding,or combining COFs with other materials to improve the energy storage performance of COFs materials.In this review article,the background of COFs is summarized,including a brief introduction,design strategy,and synthesis methods.It also discusses their applications in supercapacitors and is categorized into:pristine COFs,modified COFs,and COF matrix composites.Finally,the review addresses the challenges that remain for the practical application of these materials in supercapacitors.

    查看更多>>摘要:The capacity and cycling performance of cathodes are key factors in aqueous zinc batteries(AZBs).The search for cathode materials with long cycle lives and high specific capacities is of paramount importance.In this study,a bimetallic telluride with a hollow polyhedral structure was synthesized using a hydrothermal method followed by vapor deposition.This composite exhibits high conductivity,facilitates rapid diffusion of electrolyte ions into the interior,and accelerates redox reactions,thereby enhancing electrochemical performance.The CoTe2-NiTe2 elec-trode demonstrates an impressive specific capacity of 188.8 mAh/g at 1 A/g,highlighting its efficiency in storing a significant amount of charge per unit mass during electrochemical reactions.The assembled CoTe2-NiTe2//Zn battery shows favorable capacity retention(76.4%)after 10000 cycles.The energy density is remarkably high,reaching 290.3 Wh/kg,while maintaining a power density of 1.75 kW/kg.This bimetallic telluride strategy holds great promise as an alternative cathode for AZBs.

    查看更多>>摘要:Owing to their exceptional piezoelectric effects,piezoelectric materials play a crucial role in high-end technologies and contribute significantly to the national economy.Bismuth layer-structured ferroelectrics(BLSFs)possess high Curie temperatures,making them a focal point of research in high-temperature piezoelectric sensor devices.How-ever,their poor piezoelectric performance and low direct-current(DC)electrical resistivity hinder their effective deployment in high-temperature applications.To overcome these shortcomings,we employed composition opti-mization by partially substituting bismuth ions with rare-earth praseodymium ions.This approach enhances the piezoelectric performance and improves the DC electrical resistivity by preventing the loss of volatile bismuth ions and stabilizing the bismuth oxide layer(Bi2O2)2+,thereby reducing the concentration of oxygen vacancies.Con-sequently,we achieved a large piezoelectric constant d33 of 23.5 pC/N in praseodymium-substituted Bi5Ti3FeO15,which is three times higher than that of pure Bi5Ti3FeO15(7.1 pC/N),along with a high Curie temperature TC of 778 ℃.Additionally,the optimal composition of 4 mol%praseodymium-substituted Bi5Ti3FeO15 exhibits good thermal stability of electromechanical coupling characteristics up to 300 ℃.This study holds promise for a wide array of high-temperature piezoelectric applications and has the potential to accelerate the development of high-temperature piezoelectric sensor technologies.

    查看更多>>摘要:Concerns regarding human health and food safety have generated interest in developing simple,accurate,and cost-effective strategies for evaluating organophosphorus pesticide(OP)residues.In this study,nitrogen-doped carbon dots(N-CDs)were synthesized from a common low-cost precursor via a simple pyrolysis process.The fluorescence of the N-CDs can be suppressed by p-nitrophenol,which is the hydrolysis product of the p-nitrophenyl phosphate salt catalyzed by alkaline phosphatase(ALP).A fluorescent turn-on assay for the inhibitory effect of glyphosate was developed with a low detection limit and wide linear range.Moreover,the feasibility of visualizing OPs in vegetables was demonstrated by the fluorescence imaging of glyphosate on cabbage leaves.This research not only offers a facile method for the synthesis of highly fluorescent CDs but also inspires the development of effective multi-mode sensing platforms that include fluorescent testing and imaging for monitoring pesticide residues.
