A chiral 3D polymer with aggregation-induced emission(AIE) was synthesized via Suzuki cross-coupling of benzofuran derivatives. Structural and photophysical characterization confirmed its AIE behavior and uniform morphology. The polymer functioned as a highly selective fluorescence probe for Cr6+, exhibiting significant quenching with a micromolar detection limit. Its unique 3D architecture facilitates exceptional ion selectivity, making it a promising sensor for environmental monitoring.

As an important temporary residential structure, tents face significant deficiencies in thermal comfort. This study aims to develop a novel composite tent fabric with efficient temperature-self-regulating capability using phase change material (PCM). The methods involved using cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) to increase the interlayer spacing of montmorillonite (MMT), thereby obtaining organically modified montmorillonite (OMMT). Subsequently, paraffin wax (PW) was employed as PCM and PW/OMMT was prepared via the melt intercalation method. Finally, the PW/OMMT was integrated with tent fabric to produce the PW/OMMT tent fabric with self-temperature regulating functionality. The interlayer spacing of MMT was increased from 1.499 nm to 1.924 nm, yielding a composite tent fabric with enhanced thermal regulation. Notably, the fabric's surface temperature decreased by 2.5 °C under heating and increased by 3.5 °C during cooling, demonstrating a significant enhancement. This study thus provides an effective approach to advanced thermal management in tents.

Gel polymer electrolytes are key components in flexible energy storage, yet often suffer from low ionic conductivity. This study presents a facile strategy to fabricate a dual-network hydrogel via free-radical polymerization of polyacrylamide (PAM) and complexation of Fulvic Acid (FA) with Zn2+. The resulting PAM@FA hydrogel exhibits high mechanical strength and excellent ionic conductivity due to synergistic network effects. Employing this hydrogel electrolyte, both coin-type and flexible quasi-solid-state Zn-MnO2 batteries were assembled, demonstrating high energy density, outstanding cycling durability, and excellent bending tolerance. This work provides new opportunities for advanced hydrogel electrolytes.

This study prepared Ti6Al4V/NbC composite coatings using laser deposition technology to investigate the in-situ precipitation behavior of TiC reinforcement phase and its effect on wear resistance. Results show that TiC content first increases then decreases with rising laser power, mainly due to laser power's regulation of molten pool temperature and TiC precipitation. The precipitation amount directly determines coating hardness and wear resistance. At 1000 W, 1200 W and 1400 W, TiC area fractions are 0.24 %, 2.48 % and 1.99 % respectively, with corresponding average microhardness of 366.5 HV₀.₂, 396.3 HV₀.₂ and 386.3 HV₀.₂. Wear test results corroborate this trend; the coating deposited at 1200 W exhibits superior wear performance, characterized by a friction coefficient of 0.413, a wear loss of 11.5 mg, and predominant adhesive-abrasive wear mechanisms.

Here, we present a novel ultrasonic vibration compression (UVC) technique that enables the dual-phase Mg-9Li-1Al alloy to exhibit high strain rates (∼0.49 s−1), and large strain (∼1.6) super-malleability (circumferential elongation∼140 %) at room temperature within 2 s. Furthermore, the alloy after forming demonstrates excellent surface quality and a 17 % increase in microhardness. Preliminary application testing demonstrates that the proposed UVC technology is capable of effectively manufacturing magnesium alloy corrugated plates. This study may provide a new strategy for enhancing room-temperature formability and product manufacturing in magnesium alloys.

Composition gradient Mn-doped barium zirconium titanate (BZT) multilayer ceramics with large dielectric tunability and improved temperature stability were prepared by the conventional solid-state reaction. Microstructure and dielectric properties of the Mn-doped BZT multilayer ceramics were investigated. Fine grains, dense microstructure, and intact interfaces between adjacent layers were observed. Dielectric tunability and temperature stability were focused on in this work. Improved temperature stability for dielectric properties is benefited from effectively broadened dielectric peaks. Large dielectric tunability of 87.7% was obtained at room temperature. Furthermore, a reduced coefficient of variation of 7.7% confirmed a superior temperature stability of the dielectric tunability quantitatively. BZT multilayer ceramics with both large dielectric tunability and improved temperature stability exhibited considerable potential for tunable device applications.

In this study, a cation substitution strategy was applied to enhance the electrochemical performance of MgMn2O4 spinel. MgMnMO4 (M = Ni, Co, Ga) compounds were synthesized via the partially substitution of Mn with Ni, Co, or Ga. All doped materials exhibit a mixed spinel structure with multivalent cations (Mn2+/3+/4+, Ni2+/3+, Co2+/3+). Among them, Ni-doped MgMn2O4 sample shows the lowest inversion degree and the best electrochemical performance, delivering an initial discharge capacity of 1635.3 mAh g−1 and retaining 790 mAh g−1 after 150 cycles. It also demonstrates excellent cycling stability and capacity recovery even at high current densities, thus highlighting significant potential for energy storage applications.

The development of photosupercapacitors for solar energy collection and storage is one of the most promising areas to power future technologies. In this study, we report the effects of three different morphologies of nanorods (NR), nanoflowers (NF), and nanosheets (NS) on the performance of zinc oxide (ZnO) semi-solid-state photosupercapacitors (QSS-PSCs). Cyclic voltammetry (CV) and galvanostatic charge–discharge (GCD) measurements of QSS-PSCs under dark and AM1.5 conditions demonstrate that the morphology affects the charging time and, consequently, the specific capacitance (Cp) of the QSS-PSC. Among the ZnO:NR, ZnO:NF, and ZnO:NS PSCs, the highest surface area, charging time, and Cp were obtained with ZnO:NS-based devices. The ZnO:NS-based QSS-PSC demonstrated a fourfold improvement, increasing Cp from 586 Fg−1 in the dark to 2348 Fg−1 in the light at a scan rate of 1 mVs−1. Furthermore, the ZnO:NS QSS-PSC devices demonstrated high cycle stability, completing 16,000 cycles with 93 % Coulombic efficiency (%CE). This study demonstrated that ZnO nanostructures offer high potential for electrochemical energy storage devices that can be charged directly by sunlight through appropriate morphology selection and device design.

One novel vanadium-based terpyridine complex [TPY-V: VO(TPY) Cl2⋅DMSO] has been successfully synthesized with [2,2 ′:6',2″-terpyridine (TPY)]. Crystal structure analysis reveals TPY-V is a mononuclear complex. These mononuclear coordination units are stacked into a three-dimensional network structure through hydrogen bonding and π-π interactions. With TPY-V as the precursor, a series of vanadium-based composite materials coated with organic carbon frameworks (TPY-V@X, X = 300, 400, and 500, representing the calcination temperature) were obtained and applied as the anode materials for Na-ion battery.

Nano- to micrometer-scale celluloses and absorbent cotton were treated with iodine vapor, and the effects on the pore-related properties (i.e., the surface areas, pore volumes, and pore-size distributions) of the resultant chars were investigated. The surface area and pore volume of the char prepared from cotton were higher than those of the chars prepared from nano- or microcellulose. With the iodine treatment, a large increase in the pore-related properties of the char prepared from microcellulose was observed. Chars prepared from the iodine-treated celluloses had a stable distribution of pores with sizes smaller than 5 nm. These results suggest that the iodine treatment can stabilize the micropores in celluloses.
