RESUMO
Tremendous attention has been paid to the water-associated side reactions and zinc (Zn) dendrite growth on the electrode-electrolyte interface. However, the Zn pulverization that can cause continuous depletion of active Zn metal and exacerbate hydrogen evolution is severely neglected. Here, we disclose that the excessive Zn feeding that causes incomplete crystallization is responsible for Zn pulverization formation through analyzing the thermodynamic and kinetics process of Zn deposition. On the basis, we introduce 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium cations (EMIm+) into the electrolyte to form a Galton-board-like three-dimensional inert-cation (3DIC) region. Modeling test shows that the 3DIC EMIm+ can induce the Zn2+ flux to follow in a Gauss distribution, thus acting as elastic sites to buffer the perpendicular diffusion of Zn2+ and direct the lateral diffusion, thus effectively avoiding the local Zn2+ accumulation and irreversible crystal formation. Consequently, anti-pulverized Zn metal deposition behavior is achieved with an average Coulombic efficiency of 99.6% at 5 mA cm-2 over 2,000 cycles and superb stability in symmetric cell over 1,200 h at -30 °C. Furthermore, the Zn||KVOH pouch cell can stably cycle over 1,200 cycles at 2 A g-1 and maintain a capacity of up to 12 mAh.
RESUMO
Cr2(NCN)3 is a potentially high-capacity and fast-charge Li-ion anode owing to its abundant and broad tunnels. However, high intrinsic chemical instability severely restricts its capacity output and electrochemical reversibility. Herein we report an effective crystalline engineering method for optimizing its phase and crystallinity. Systematic studies reveal the relevancy between electrochemical performance and crystalline structure; an optimal Cr2(NCN)3 with high phase purity and uniform crystallinity exhibits a high reversible capacity of 590 mAh g-1 and a stable cycling performance of 478 mAh g-1 after 500 cycles. In-operando heating XRD reveals its high thermodynamical stability over 600 °C, and in-operando electrochemical XRD proves its electrochemical Li storage mechanism, consisting of the primary Li-ion intercalation and subsequent conversion reactions. This study introduces a facile and low-cost method for fabricating high-purity Cr2(NCN)3, and it also confirms that the Li storage of Cr2(NCN)3 can be further improved by tuning its phase and crystallinity.
RESUMO
Oxide semiconductors (OS) are attractive materials for memory and logic device applications owing to their low off-current, high field effect mobility, and superior large-area uniformity. Recently, successful research has reported the high field-effect mobility (µFE) of crystalline OS channel transistors (above 50 cm2 V-1 s-1). However, the memory and logic device application presents challenges in mobility and stability trade-offs. Here, we propose a method for achieving high-mobility and high-stability by lowering the grain boundary effect. A DBADMIn precursor was synthesized to deposit highly c-axis-aligned C(222) crystalline 3 nm thick In2O3 films. In this study, the 250 °C deposited 3 nm thick In2O3 channel transistor exhibited high µFE of 41.12 cm2 V-1 s-1, Vth of -0.50 V, and SS of 150 mV decade-1 with superior stability of 0.16 V positive shift during PBTS at 100 °C, 3 MV cm-1 stress conditions for 3 h.
RESUMO
The morphology of the active layer is crucial for highly efficient organic solar cells (OSCs), which can be regulated by selecting a rational third component. In this work, the highly crystalline nonfullerene acceptor BTP-eC9 is selected as the morphology regulator in OSCs with PM6:BTP-BO-4Cl as the main system. The addition of BTP-eC9 can prolong the nucleation and crystallization progress of acceptor and donor molecules, thereby enhancing the order of molecular arrangement. Meanwhile, the nucleation and crystallization time of the donor is earlier than that of the acceptors after introducing BTP-eC9, which is beneficial for obtaining a better vertical structural phase separation. The exciton dissociation, charge transport, and charge collection are promoted effectively by the optimized morphology of the active layer, which improves the short-circuit current density and filling factor. After introducing BTP-eC9, the power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) of the ternary OSCs are improved from 17.31% to 18.15%. The PCE is further improved to 18.39% by introducing gold nanopyramid (Au NBPs) into the hole transport layer to improve photon utilization efficiency. This work indicates that the morphology can be optimized by selecting a highly crystalline third component to regulate the nucleation and crystallization progress of the acceptor and donor molecules.
RESUMO
Perovskite materials, particularly FAPbI3, have emerged as promising candidates for solar energy conversion applications. However, these materials are plagued by well-known defects and suboptimal film quality. Enhancing crystallinity and minimizing defect density are therefore essential steps in the development of high-performance perovskite solar cells. In this study, 1H-Pyrazole-1-carboximidamide hydrochloride (PCH) is introduced into FAPbI3 perovskite films. The molecular structure of PCH features a pyrazole ring bonded to formamidine (FA). The FA moiety of PCH facilitated the incorporation of this additive into the film lattice, while the negatively charged pyrazole ring effectively passivated positively charged iodine vacancies. The presence of PCH led to the fabrication of an FAPbI3 device with improved crystallinity, a smoother surface, and reduced defect density, resulting in enhanced Voc and fill factor. A record power conversion efficiency of 24.62% is achieved, along with exceptional stability under prolonged air exposure and thermal stress. The findings highlight the efficacy of PCH as a novel additive for the development of high-performance perovskite solar cells.
RESUMO
In heterogeneous persulfate-catalyzed oxidation systems, the mechanism underlying the crystal plane effects of the catalyst on the selective conversion of reactive oxygen species (ROS) remains ambiguous. In this study, nano-Co3O4 catalysts with varying crystallinity and exposure levels of (111) crystal planes are prepared via a hydrothermal method. Compared to low crystalline catalysts, high crystallinity catalysts predominantly expose (111) planes containing higher concentrations of Co2+ and oxygen vacancies (Ov), resulting in an increase degradation efficiency of p-nitrobenzaldehyde (4-NBA) from 74.5% to 100%. Radical quenching experiments and EPR characterization reveal that the degradation of 4-NBA occurs through a radical pathway, and quantification of radicals demonstrates that increasing exposure levels of (111) planes effectively promote radical yield (CSO4â¢- increase from 18.2 to 172.8 µm and Câ¢OH increase from 1 to 58.9 µm). Furthermore, XPS and DFT calculations indicate that high crystallinity catalyst possesses more Ov active sites on (111) planes. The presence of Ov not only facilitates the adsorption of PMS molecules but also enhances electron transfer from Co2+ to PMS, leading to directed formation and efficient transformation of radicals. This study presents a novel strategy for promoting efficient radical formation in persulfate-activated systems.
RESUMO
Iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) are widely used for biomedical applications due to their unique magnetic properties and biocompatibility. However, the controlled synthesis of IONPs with tunable particle sizes and crystallite/grain sizes to achieve desired magnetic functionalities across single-domain and multi-domain size ranges remains an important challenge. Here, a facile synthetic method is used to produce iron oxide nanospheres (IONSs) with controllable size and crystallinity for magnetic tunability. First, highly crystalline Fe3O4 IONSs (crystallite sizes above 24 nm) having an average diameter of 50 to 400 nm are synthesized with enhanced ferrimagnetic properties. The magnetic properties of these highly crystalline IONSs are comparable to those of their nanocube counterparts, which typically possess superior magnetic properties. Second, the crystallite size can be widely tuned from 37 to 10 nm while maintaining the overall particle diameter, thereby allowing precise manipulation from the ferrimagnetic to the superparamagnetic state. In addition, demonstrations of reaction scale-up and the proposed growth mechanism of the IONSs are presented. This study highlights the pivotal role of crystal size in controlling the magnetic properties of IONSs and offers a viable means to produce IONSs with magnetic properties desirable for wider applications in sensors, electronics, energy, environmental remediation, and biomedicine.
RESUMO
The fabrication of periodic macroporous (PM) in Nb2O5 via morphological control is crucial for improving the photocatalytic hydrogen evolution efficiency. In this study, Nb2O5 with PM is synthesized using a straightforward colloidal crystal templating approach. This material features an open, interconnected macroporous architecture with nanoscale walls, high crystallinity, and substantial porosity. Extensive characterization reveals that this hierarchically structured Nb2O5 possesses abundant surface active sites and is capable of capturing light effectively, facilitating rapid mass transfer and diffusion of reactants and markedly suppressing the recombination of photoexcited charge carriers. Macroporous Nb2O5 exhibits superior water-splitting hydrogen evolution performance compared with its bulk and commercial counterparts, achieving a hydrogen production rate of 405 µmol g-1 h-1, surpassing that of bulk Nb2O5 (B-Nb2O5) and commercial Nb2O5 (C-Nb2O5) by factors of 5 and 33, respectively. This study proposes an innovative strategy for the design of hierarchically structured PM, thereby significantly advancing the hydrogen evolution potential of Nb2O5.
RESUMO
Prussian blue analogs (PBAs) have been widely recognized as superior cathode materials for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) owing to numerous merits. However, originating from the rapid crystal growth, PBAs still suffer from considerable vacancy defects and interstitial water, making the preparation of long-cycle-life PBAs the greatest challenge for its practical application. Herein, a novel equilibrium chelation strategy is first proposed to synthesize a high crystallinity (94.7%) PBAs, which is realized by modulating the chelating potency of strong chelating agents via "acid effect" to achieve a moderate chelating effect, forcefully breaking through the bottleneck of poor cyclic stability for PBAs cathodes. Impressively, the as-prepared highly crystalline PBAs represent an unprecedented level of electrochemical performance including ultra-long lifespan (10000 cycles with 86.32% capacity maintenance at 6 A g-1), excellent rate capability (82.0 mAh g-1 at 6 A g-1). Meanwhile, by pairing with commercial hard carbon, the as-prepared PBAs-based SIBs exhibit high energy density (350 Wh kg-1) and excellent capacity retention (82.4% after 1500 cycles), highlighting its promising potential for large-scale energy storage applications.
RESUMO
Incorporating a third component into binary organic solar cells (b-OSCs) has provided a potential platform to boost power conversion efficiency (PCEs). However, gaining control over the non-equilibrium blend morphology via the molecular design of the perylene diimide (PDI)-based third component toward efficient ternary organic solar cells (t-OSCs) still remains challenging. Herein, two novel PDI derivatives are developed with tailored molecular planarity, namely ufBTz-2PDI and fBTz-2PDI, as the third component for t-OSCs. Notably, after performing a cyclization reaction, the twisted ufBTz-2PDI with an amorphous character transferred to the highly planar fBTz-2PDI followed by a semi-crystalline character. When incorporating the semi-crystalline fBTz-2PDI into the D18:L8-BO system, the resultant t-OSC achieved an impressive PCE of 18.56%, surpassing the 17.88% attained in b-OSCs. In comparison, the addition of amorphous ufBTz-2PDI into the binary system facilitates additional charge trap sites and results in a deteriorative PCE of 14.37%. Additionally, The third component fBTz-2PDI possesses a good generality in optimizing the PCEs of several b-OSCs systems are demonstrated. The results not only provided a novel A-DA'D-A motif for further designing efficient third component but also demonstrated the crucial role of modulated crystallinity of the PDI-based third component in optimizing PCEs of t-OSCs.
RESUMO
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), owing the merits of ordered and tailored channel structures in the burgeoning crystalline porous materials, have demonstrated significant promise in construction of high-performance separation membranes. However, precisely because this crystal structure with strong molecular interaction in their lattice provides robust structural integrity and resistance to chemical and thermal degradation, crystalline MOFs typically exhibit insolubility, infusibility, stiffness and brittleness, and therefore their membrane-processing properties are far inferior to the flexible amorphous polymers and hinder their subsequent storage, transportation, and utilization. Hence, focusing on film-formation and crystallization is the foundation for exploring the fabrication and application of MOF membranes. In this review, the film-forming properties of crystalline MOFs are fundamentally analyzed from their inherent characteristics and compared with those of amorphous polymers, influencing factors of polycrystalline MOF membrane formation are summarized, the trade-off relationship between crystallization and membrane formation is discussed, and the strategy solving the film formation of crystalline MOFs in recent years are systematically reviewed, in anticipation of realizing the goal of preparing crystalline membranes with optimized processability and excellent performance.
RESUMO
Lapatinib (LTP) commercially available as lapatinib ditosylate (LTP-DTS) salt is the only drug approved for the treatment of HER-positive metastatic breast cancer. A low and pH-dependent solubility results in poor and variable oral bioavailability, thus driving significant interest in molecular modification and formulation strategies of the drug. Furthermore, due to very high crystallinity, LTP and LTP-DTS have low solubility in lipid excipients, making it difficult to be delivered by lipid-based carrier systems. Thus, the present work reports a new salt form of LTP with a docusate counterion to enhance the pharmaceutical properties of the drug (LTP-DOC). NMR spectra showed a downfield shift of the methylene singlet proton from 3.83 and 4.41 ppm, indicating a lowering of electron density on the adjacent nitrogen atom and confirming the formation of amine-sulfonyl salt through the specified basic nitrogen center located adjacent to the furan ring. PXRD diffractograms of LTP-DOC indicated a reduced crystallinity of the prepared salt. The dissolution, equilibrium solubility, lipid excipient solubility, partitioning coefficient, distribution coefficient, tabletability, and in vitro cytotoxicity of the lipophilic salt of LTP were investigated. The equilibrium solubility data showed that LTP-DOC possesses a pH-independent solubility profile in the pH range of 3.5 to 7.4 with a 3.14 times higher permeability coefficient than commercial ditosylate salt. Furthermore, the prepared LTP-DOC salts showed twice higher log P than the free base and 8 times higher than LTP-DTS. The prepared LTP-DOC was found to have 4- to 9-fold higher solubility in lipid excipients like Capmul MCM C8 and Maisine CC compared to the ditosylate salt. The LTP-DOC salt was tabletable and showed approximately 1.2 times lower dissolution than commercial ditosylate salt, indicating extended-release behavior. A cytotoxicity study of LTP-DOC salt showed an approximately 2.5 times lower IC50 value than the LTP-free base and 1.7 times lower than commercial ditosylate salt with an approximately 3 times higher selectivity index. The investigations strongly indicate a high translational potential of the prepared salt form in maintaining solubility-lipophilicity interplay, enhancing the drug's bioavailability, and developing lipidic formulations.

Islatravir, a highly potent nucleoside reverse transcriptase translocation inhibitor (NRTTI) for the treatment of HIV, has great potential to be formulated as ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) copolymer-based implants via hot melt extrusion. The crystallinity of EVA determines its physical and rheological properties and may impact the drug-eluting implant performance. Herein, we describe the systematic analysis of factors affecting the EVA crystallinity in islatravir implants. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) on EVA and solid-state NMR revealed drug loading promoted EVA crystallization, whereas BaSO4 loading had negligible impact on EVA crystallinity. The sterilization through γ-irradiation appeared to significantly impact the EVA crystallinity and surface characteristics of the implants. Furthermore, DSC analysis of thin implant slices prepared with an ultramicrotome indicated that the surface layer of the implant was more crystalline than the core. These findings provide critical insights into factors affecting the crystallinity, mechanical properties, and physicochemical properties of the EVA polymer matrix of extruded islatravir implants.

Porous starch (PS), a modified form of starch with unique properties, is attracting substantial attention for its diverse advantages and applications. Its intricate porous structure, crystalline and amorphous characteristics, and hydrophilic-hydrophobic properties stem from pore formation via physical, chemical, enzymatic, and combined synergistic methods. Porous starch offers benefits like improved gelatinization temperature, water absorption, increased surface area, tunable crystallinity, and enhanced functional properties, making it appealing for diverse food industry applications. To optimize its properties, determining the parameters governing porous structure formation is crucial. Factors such as processing conditions, starch source, and modification methods substantially impact porosity and the overall characteristics of the material. Understanding and controlling these parameters allows customization for specific applications, from pharmaceutical drug delivery systems to enhancing texture and moisture retention in food products. To date, studies shedding light on how porosity formation can be fine-tuned for specific applications are fewer. This review critically assesses the existing reports on porous starch, focusing on how preparation methods affect porosity formation, thereby influencing the product's crystallinity/hydrophilic-hydrophobic nature and overall applicability.
RESUMO
Highly-crystallized carbon nitride (HCCN) nanosheets exhibit significant potential for advancements in the field of photoelectric conversion. However, to fully exploit their potential, a thorough understanding of the fundamental excitonic photophysical processes is crucial. Here, the temperature-dependent excitonic photoluminescence (PL) of HCCN nanosheets and amorphous polymeric carbon nitride (PCN) is investigated using steady-state and time-resolved PL spectroscopy. The exciton binding energy of HCCN is determined to be 109.26 meV, lower than that of PCN (207.39 meV), which is attributed to the ordered stacking structure of HCCN with a weaker Coulomb interaction between electrons and holes. As the temperature increases, a noticeable reduction in PL lifetime is observed on both the HCCN and PCN, which is ascribed to the thermal activation of carrier trapping by the enhanced electron-phonon coupling effect. The thermal activation energy of HCCN is determined to be 102.9 meV, close to the value of PCN, due to their same band structures. Through wavelength-dependent PL dynamics analysis, we have identified the PL emission of HCCN as deriving from the transitions:σ*-LP,π*-π, andπ*-LP, where theπ*-LP transition dominants the emission because of the high excited state density of the LP state. These results demonstrate the impact of high-crystallinity on the excitonic emission of HCCN materials, thereby expanding their potential applications in the field of photoelectric conversion.
RESUMO
We have investigated the plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition growth of the phosphorus-doped hydrogenated nanocrystalline silicon (n-nc-Si:H) film as an electron-selective layer in silicon heterojunction (SHJ) solar cells. The effect of power densities on the precursor gas dissociation are investigated using optical emission spectra and the crystalline fraction in n-nc-Si:H films are correlated with the dark conductivity. With thePdof 122 mW cm-2and â¼2% phosphorus doping, we observed Raman crystallinity of 53%, high dark conductivity of 43 S cm-1, and activation energy of â¼23 meV from the â¼30 nm n-nc-Si:H film. The n-nc-Si:H layer improves the textured c-Si surface passivation by two-fold to â¼2 ms compared to the phosphorus-doped hydrogenated amorphous silicon (n-a-Si:H) layers. An enhancement in the open-circuit voltage and external quantum efficiency (from >650 nm) due to the better passivation at the rear side of the cell after integrating the n-nc-Si:H layer compared to its n-a-Si:H counterpart. An improvement in the charge carrier transport is also observed with an increase in fill factor from â¼71% to â¼75%, mainly due to a reduction in electron-selective contact resistivity from â¼271 to â¼61 mΩ-cm2. Finally, with the relatively better c-Si surface passivation and carrier selectivity, a power conversion efficiency of â¼19.90% and pseudo-efficiency of â¼21.90% have been realized from the SHJ cells.
RESUMO
Iron minerals are widespread in earth's surface water and soil. Recent studies have revealed that under sunlight irradiation, iron minerals are photoactive on producing reactive oxygen species (ROS), a group of key species in regulating elemental cycling, microbe inactivation, and pollutant degradation. In nature, iron minerals exhibit varying crystallinity under different hydrogeological conditions. While crystallinity is a known key parameter determining the overall activity of iron minerals, the impact of iron mineral crystallinity on photochemical ROS production remains unknown. Here, we assessed the photochemical ROS production from ferrihydrites with different degrees of crystallinity. All examined ferrihydrites demonstrated photoactivity under irradiation, resulting in the generation of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and hydroxyl radical (â¢OH). The photochemical ROS production from ferrihydrites increased with decreasing ferrihydrite crystallinity. The crystallinity-dependent photochemical â¢OH production was primarily attributed to conduction band reduction reactions, with the reduction of O2 by conduction band electrons being the rate-limiting key process. Conversely, the crystallinity of iron minerals had a negligible influence on photon-to-electron conversion efficiency or surface Fenton-like activity. The difference in ROS productions led to a discrepant degradation efficiency of organic pollutants on iron mineral surfaces. Our study provides valuable insights into the crystallinity-dependent ROS productions from iron minerals in natural systems, emphasizing the significance of iron mineral photochemistry in natural sites with abundant lower-crystallinity iron minerals such as wetland water and surface soils.

Information on boll distribution within a cotton plant is critical to evaluate the adaptation and response of cotton plants to environmental and biotic stress in cotton production. Cotton researchers have applied available conventional fiber measurements, such as the high volume instrument (HVI) and advanced fiber information system (AFIS), to map the location and the timing of boll development and distribution within plants and further to determine within-plant variability of cotton fiber properties. Both HVI and AFIS require numerous cotton bolls combined for the measurement. As an alternative approach, attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared (ATR FT-IR) spectroscopy was proposed to measure fiber maturity (MIR) and crystallinity (CIIR) of a sample as little as 0.5 mg lint. Extending fiber maturity and crystallinity measurement into a single boll for node-by-node mapping, FT-IR method might be advantageous due to less sampling amount compared with HVI and AFIS methods. Results showed that FT-IR technique enabled the evaluation of fiber MIR and CIIR at a boll level, which resulted in average MIR and CIIR values highly correlated with HVI micronaire (MIC) and AFIS maturity ratio (M). Hence, FT-IR technique possesses a good potential for a rapid and non-destructive node-by-node mapping of cotton boll maturity and crystallinity distribution.

Cellulose crystallinity is a crucial factor influencing stem strength and, consequently, wheat lodging. However, the genetic dissection of cellulose crystallinity is less reported due to the difficulty of its measurement. In this study, VIS/NIR spectra and cellulose crystallinity were measured for a wheat accession panel with diverse genetic backgrounds. We developed a reliable VIS/NIR model for cellulose crystallinity with a high determination coefficient (R2) (0.95) and residual prediction deviation (RPD) (4.04), enabling the rapid screening of wheat samples. A GWAS of the cellulose crystallinity in 326 wheat accessions revealed 14 significant SNPs and 13 QTLs. Two candidate genes, TraesCS4B03G0029800 and TraesCS5B03G1085500, were identified. In summary, this study establishes an efficient method for the measurement of cellulose crystallinity in wheat stems and provides a genetic basis for enhancing lodging resistance in wheat.

Syzgium cumini (L.) Skeels powder (S. cumini powder), also known as Jamun, is well-known for its various medical and health benefits. It is especially recognized for its antidiabetic and antioxidant properties. Thus, S. cumini powder is used in various industries, such as the food and cosmetic industries. In this work, the fruit of S. cumini was utilized; its seeds were extracted, dried, and ground into powder. The ground powders were subjected to various techniques such as physicochemical tests, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, X-ray diffractometry (XRD), particle size analysis, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and antioxidant analysis. From the physicochemical tests, it was revealed that the jamun seed filler contained cellulose (43.28%), hemicellulose (19.88%), lignin (23.28%), pectin (12.58%), and wax (0.98%). The FTIR analysis supported these results. For instance, a peak at 2889 cm-1 was observed and associated with CH stretching, typically found in methyl and methylene groups, characteristic of cellulose and hemicellulose structures. The XRD results demonstrated that the crystallinity index of the jamun seed filler was 42.63%. The particle analysis indicated that the mean (average) particle size was 25.34 µm. This observation was ensured with SEM results. The EDX spectrum results showed the elemental composition of the fillers. Regarding thermal degradation, the jamun seed filler had the ability to withstand temperatures of up to 316.5 °C. Furthermore, endothermic and exothermic peaks were observed at 305 °C and 400 °C, respectively. Furthermore, the antioxidant property of the powder displayed a peak scavenging activity of 91.4%. This comprehensive study not only underscores the viability of S. cumini powder as a sustainable and effective particulate filler in polymer composites but also demonstrates its potential to enhance the mechanical properties of composites, thereby offering significant implications for the development of eco-friendly materials in various industrial applications.
