Herein, HRP-free silk-HA hybrid hydrogels are generated using the Fenton reaction. The findings reveal that a higher HA concentration, at an appropriate crosslinking density, increases the random coil content while decreasing the β-sheet content by reducing the interactions of Fe3+ ions with silk fibroin. This facilitates the formation of homogeneous hydrogel networks with enhanced optical transparency. The crosslinking strategies presented here offer a basis for the fabrication of hybrid hydrogel scaffolds based on proteins or polymers having phenolic hydroxyl moieties, without the use of HRP-catalyzed reactions, for a broad range of biomedical applications.

Searching of electronic system with functionality is the epitome of the material research and in this context; nanomaterials CuInSe2 and TiO2 are the promising stars whose possible applications in electronic devices are just endless. However, the fabrication of junction based device using these two materials is most tantalizing prospect in material science is still at its rudimentary stage. In this letter, we report our recognition of current rectification behavior of CuInSe2/TiO2 heterojunction, identical to the I-V characteristics of p-n junction diode and the impact of white light on it. The HOMO-LUMO band positions of hydrothermally derived CuInSe2 and TiO2 nanomaterials indicate that in thermal equilibrium a built-in-potential must arise across the junction. The current-rectification ratio of the configuration Al/CuInSe2/TiO2/ITO is improved from 560 to 627 at voltage ±2 V on white light illumination and this kind of behavior is certainly offering us an unprecedented way to realize the CuInSe2/TiO2 hetero-junction as photo-sensing p-n diode. The device performance is improved further by replacing TiO2 with HF treated TiO2.

To achieve a highly sensitive flexible piezoresistive sensor, an innovative strategy was developed by leveraging wrinkled structures and porous microstructures. Due to these specialized structures, the sensitivity can reach up to 1.58 kPa−1. Both macro and micro signal tests were conducted, revealing the ability to detect complex and weak signals found in human physiological responses. Importantly, due to its high sensitivity at low pressure, the sensor can differentiate the pulse rates of individuals, including children and adults. This highlights its potential as a wearable diagnostic device for real-time monitoring of human health under various conditions.

In this study, the alkali-silica reaction (ASR) in glass-incorporated mortar (GIM) under various types of Na+-contained exposure conditions were investigated by analyzing ASR expansion, compressive strength, and microstructure. As a key result, in comparison to the exposure condition with the same hydroxide OH− concentration, a dramatic increase in ASR-induced expansion can be observed under the mixture condition of 0.5 N-NaOH + 0.5 N-NaCl. SEM/EDX results reveales that Na+ can improve Na/Si ratio of ASR gel, resulting in a higher swelling capacity. The variation of compressive strength under different exposure conditions was also studied, and then interpreted by analysis of pore structure characteristics. This work highlights the role of Na+ ion on ASR under alkaline conditions, leading to more precautions in the manufacture of GIM.
本研究通过分析 ASR 膨胀、抗压强度和微观结构，研究了各种含 Na+ 的暴露条件下玻璃嵌合砂浆（GIM）中的碱硅反应（ASR）。主要结果是，与相同氢氧化物 OH- 浓度的暴露条件相比，在 0.5 N-NaOH + 0.5 N-NaCl 混合条件下，可以观察到 ASR 引起的膨胀急剧增加。SEM/EDX 结果表明，Na+ 可以提高 ASR 凝胶的 Na/Si 比率，从而提高膨胀能力。此外，还研究了不同暴露条件下抗压强度的变化，并通过对孔隙结构特征的分析进行了解释。这项研究强调了 Na+ 离子在碱性条件下对 ASR 的作用，从而为 GIM 的生产提供了更多的预防措施。

Defective Fe-doped MIL-68(In)–NH2 (Fe-MIL68) was successfully synthesized for photocatalytic bisphenol A (BPA) degradation in one step via a simple hydrothermal method for the first time. The presence of mesoporous structure and oxygen vacancies in Fe-doped Fe-MIL68 was confirmed using modern characterization techniques, which can significantly improve its adsorption performance and electron-hole separation ability, thus enhancing its photocatalytic activity. The results confirmed the photodegradation efficiency of Fe-MIL68 for BPA under visible light could reach 92.3 % in 100 min, which was 2.1 times higher than that of MIL-68(In)–NH2.

In this study, we investigate the growth of Ge nanowires (NWs) using a gas supply gradient method during plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD), focusing on the effects of GeH4 partial pressure and total chamber pressure on NWs morphology. By adjusting either the GeH4 flow rate or the total pressure, we explored a gradient method to manipulate the growth process. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images revealed that, even with constant GeH4 partial pressure, variations in total pressure significantly influenced NWs diameter and structure. Furthermore, elemental mapping and compositional analysis demonstrated the presence of a Ge/Si heterostructure with a Sn catalyst at the apex and an amorphous Si layer encapsulating the NW surface.

Additive manufacturing has revolutionized the fabrication of various porous structures using diverse biomaterials for preclinical and clinical applications. However, hybrid structures combining conventional and auxetic structures have been seldom explored, despite their immense potential for biomedical applications. This study aims to design various hybrid auxetic and conventional structures and demonstrate their mechanical properties using porous composite polycaprolactone/hydroxyapatite (PCL/HA) biomaterials. Our findings reveal that newly suggested structures can enhance Young’s modulus, yield stress, and energy absorption by up to 98.64%, 99.27%, and 98.61%, respectively, compared to the conventional structures. Moreover, all fabricated scaffolds exhibit porosity exceeding 90%, ensuring their suitability for tissue engineering applications.

Porous polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) materials are widely used in areas including sensors, environment and tissue engineering. We presented a microfluidic foaming method for fabricating porous PDMS, offering precise control over pore size and distribution. By adjusting gas pressure during the foaming process, PDMS structures with both uniform and gradient porosity were created, enabling fine-tuning of mechanical properties. The microfluidic approach not only simplifies the production process but also allows for the rational design of porous PDMS with customized mechanical characteristics.

The effective valence of copper in the region of its concentration up to x = 0.25 in CuxZrSe2 has been determined based on an analysis of binding energies of the Zr3d and Se3d core levels and the electromotive forces from an electrochemical experiment for CuxZrSe2, as a function of Cu concentration x. It has been shown that the domination of covalent bonding between copper and the ZrSe2 host lattice within this concentration range results in a notable reduction in the effective valence of copper in comparison to its nominal value.
