RESUMO

Air pollutants and temperature are significant threats to public health, and the complex linkages between the environmental factors and their interactions harm respiratory diseases. This study is aimed to analyze the impact of air pollutants and meteorological factors on respiratory diseases and their synergistic effects in Dingxi, a city in northwestern China, from 2018 to 2020 using a generalized additive model (GAM). Relative risk (RR) was employed to quantitatively evaluate the temperature modification on the short-term effects of PM2.5 and O3 and the synergistic effects of air pollutants (PM2.5 and O3) and meteorological elements (temperature and relative humidity) on respiratory diseases. The results indicated that the RRs per inter-quatile range (IQR) rise in PM2.5 and O3 concentrations were (1.066, 95% CI: 1.009-1.127, lag2) and (1.037, 95% CI: 0.975-1.102, lag4) for respiratory diseases, respectively. Temperature stratification suggests that the influence of PM2.5 on respiratory diseases was significantly enhanced at low and moderate temperatures, and the risk of respiratory diseases caused by O3 was significantly increased at high temperatures. The synergy analysis demonstrated significant a synergistic effect of PM2.5 with low temperature and high relative humidity and an antagonistic effect of high relative humidity and O3 on respiratory diseases. The findings would provide a scientific basis for the impact of pollutants on respiratory diseases in Northwest China.

RESUMO

Air pollution poses a major threat to both the environment and public health. The air quality index (AQI), aggregate AQI, new health risk-based air quality index (NHAQI), and NHAQI-WHO were employed to quantitatively evaluate the characterization of air pollution and the associated health risk in Gansu Province before (P-I) and after (P-II) COVID-19 pandemic. The results indicated that AQI system undervalued the comprehensive health risk impact of the six criteria pollutants compared with the other three indices. The stringent lockdown measures contributed to a considerable reduction in SO2, CO, PM2.5, NO2 and PM10; these concentrations were 43.4%, 34.6%, 21.4%, 17.4%, and 14.2% lower in P-II than P-I, respectively. But the concentration of O3 had no obvious improvement. The higher sandstorm frequency in P-II led to no significant decrease in the ERtotal and even resulted in an increase in the average ERtotal in cities located in northwestern Gansu from 0.78% in P-I to 1.0% in P-II. The cumulative distribution of NHAQI-based population-weighted exposure revealed that 24% of the total population was still exposed to light pollution in spring during P-II, while the air quality in other three seasons had significant improvements and all people were under healthy air quality level.

RESUMO

High-sensitivity strain sensing elements with a wide strain range, fast response, high stability, and small sensing areas are desirable for constructing strain sensor arrays with high temporospatial resolution. However, current strain sensors rely on crack-based conductive materials having an inherent tradeoff between their sensing area and performance. Here, we present a molecular-level crack modulation strategy in which we use layer-by-layer assembly to introduce strong, dynamic, and reversible coordination bonds in an MXene and silver nanowire-matrixed conductive film. We use this approach to fabricate a crack-based stretchable strain sensor with a very small sensing area (0.25 mm2). It also exhibits an ultrawide working strain range (0.001-37%), high sensitivity (gauge factor ~500 at 0.001% and >150,000 at 35%), fast response time, low hysteresis, and excellent long-term stability. Based on this high-performance sensing element and facile assembly process, a stretchable strain sensor array with a device density of 100 sensors per cm2 is realized. We demonstrate the practical use of the high-density strain sensor array as a multichannel pulse sensing system for monitoring pulses in terms of their spatiotemporal resolution.

RESUMO

Solid-state lithium metal batteries (SSLMBs) have gained significant attention in energy storage research due to their high energy density and significantly improved safety. But there are still certain problems with lithium dendrite growth, interface stability, and room-temperature practicality. Nature continually inspires human development and intricate design strategies to achieve optimal structural applications. Innovative solid-state electrolytes (SSEs), inspired by diverse natural species, have demonstrated exceptional physical, chemical, and mechanical properties. This review provides an overview of typical bionic-structured materials in SSEs, particularly those mimicking plant and animal structures, with a focus on their latest advancements in applications of solid-state lithium metal batteries. Commencing from plant structures encompassing roots, trunks, leaves, flowers, fruits, and cellular levels, the detailed influence of biomimetic strategies on SSE design and electrochemical performance are presented in this review. Subsequently, the recent progress of animal-inspired nanostructures in SSEs is summarized, including layered structures, surface morphologies, and interface compatibility in both two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) aspects. Finally, we also evaluate the current challenges and provide a concise outlook on future research directions. We anticipate that the review will provide useful information for future reference regarding the design of bionic-structured materials in SSEs.

RESUMO

To clarify the mechanism underlying the effects of weather patterns and topography on air pollution, this study conducted the obliquely rotated principal component analysis in the T-mode to analyze ERA5 reanalysis data and categorize typical weather patterns at a 700-hPa geopotential height from 2015 to 2022. The probability of worsened air pollution attributable to weather patterns was quantitatively assessed using a generalized additive model. The results indicated that due to the influence of topography, Lanzhou was affected by an extended period of downdraft (with weak convective intensity) and the delayed formation of a convective boundary layer during the daytime by 1-2 h relative to other areas. Under the combined effect of low trough patterns (south low pressure type [SL] and south low weak pressure type [SL-]) and topography, the formation of a stable layer above the planetary boundary layer (PBL) would weaken the vertical exchange of the local airflow and inhibit the development of the PBL. The type of SL led to the most severe pollution, causing a 61.9 % (95 % confidence interval [CI]: 46.3 %-79.3 %) increase in PM2.5 concentration. For southwest high pressure patterns (south high [SH], southwest weak high [SWH-], southwest high [SWH], and southwest strong high [SWH+] pressure types), the prevailing northwest wind was the main transport path for pollutants. For the high pressure patterns (north high [NH] and northwest high [NWH] pressure types) and south wind patterns (southeast weak high [SEH-], southeast high [SEH], and northeast high [NEH] pressure types), the enhancement of vertical convection, deepening of the PBL, and reduction of pollution transport led to improved air quality. The NH, NWH, and NEH pressure types caused PM2.5 concentration to decrease by 18.4 % (95 % CI: 8.8 %-27.1 %), 14.9 % (95 % CI: 4.7 %-24.0 %), and 35.9 % (95 % CI: 9.7 %-54.6 %), respectively.

RESUMO

Converting CO2 into valuable chemicals can provide a new path to mitigate the greenhouse effect, achieving the aim of "carbon neutrality" and "carbon peaking". Among numerous electrocatalysts, Zn-based materials are widely distributed and cheap, making them one of the most promising electrocatalyst materials to replace noble metal catalysts. Moreover, the Zn metal itself has a certain selectivity for CO. After appropriate modification, such as oxide derivatization, structural reorganization, reconstruction of the surfaces, heteroatom doping, and so on, the Zn-based electrocatalysts can expose more active sites and adjust the d-band center or electronic structure, and the FE and stability of them can be effectively improved, and they can even convert CO2 to multi-carbon products. This review aims to systematically describe the latest progresses of modified Zn-based electrocatalyst materials (including organic and inorganic materials) in the electrocatalytic carbon dioxide reduction reaction (eCO2RR). The applications of modified Zn-based catalysts in improving product selectivity, increasing current density and reducing the overpotential of the eCO2RR are reviewed. Moreover, this review describes the reasonable selection and good structural design of Zn-based catalysts, presents the characteristics of various modified zinc-based catalysts, and reveals the related catalytic mechanisms for the first time. Finally, the current status and development prospects of modified Zn-based catalysts in eCO2RR are summarized and discussed.

RESUMO

The unsatisfactory lithium-ion conductivity (σ) and limited mechanical strength of polymer solid electrolytes hinder their wide applications in solid-state lithium metal batteries (SSLMBs). Here, a thin piezoelectric polymer solid electrolyte integrating electromechanical coupling and ferroelectric polarization effects has been designed and prepared to achieve long-term stable cycling of SSLMBs. The ferroelectric Bi4Ti3O12 nanoparticle (BIT NPs) loaded poly(vinylidene fluoride-trifluoroethylene) (P(VDF-TrFE)) piezoelectric nanofibers (B-P NFs) membranes are introduced into the poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) matrix, endowing the composite electrolyte with unique polarization and piezoelectric effects. The piezoelectric nanofiber membrane with a 3D network structure not only promotes the dissociation of lithium (Li) salts through the polarization effect but also cleverly utilizes the coupling effect of a mechanical stress-local electric field to achieve dynamic regulation of the Li electroplating process. Through the corresponding experimental tests and density functional theory calculations, the intrinsic mechanism of piezoelectric electrolytes improving σ and suppressing Li dendrites is fully revealed. The obtained piezoelectric electrolyte has achieved stable cycling of LiFePO4 batteries over 2000 cycles and has also shown good practical application potential in flexible pouch batteries.

RESUMO

In this work, carboxylated and amination modified cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs) were fabricated via the TEMPO catalytic oxidation system and diethylenetriamine, and collagen composite aerogels were fabricated through a simple self-assembly pretreatment and directional freeze-drying technology. Morphology analysis showed that the collagen composite aerogels had distinct layered-oriented double network structures after the self-assembly pretreatment. The intermolecular interactions between the collagen fibrils and functionalized CNFs (fCNFs) on the structures and properties of the composite aerogels were also examined through various characterization techniques. Water contact angle tests demonstrated the pH-responsive characteristics of the collagen/fCNF composite aerogels. Using 5-fluorouracil as the model drug, the pH-response mechanism was revealed. These results indicated that the collagen/fCNF composite aerogels exhibited excellent pH-responsive drug release capacities. Therefore, these pH-responsive collagen composite aerogels might have potential applications in industrial production in the biomedical, drug delivery, and tissue engineering fields.

RESUMO

Foams with advanced sensing properties and excellent mechanical properties are promising candidates for smart packaging materials. However, the fabrication of ultra-elastic and durable foams is still challenging. Herein, we report a universal strategy to obtain ultra-elastic and durable foams by crosslinking cellulose nanofiber and MXene via strong covalent bonds and assembling the composites into anisotropic cellular structures. The obtained composite foam shows an excellent compressive strain of up to 90 % with height retention of 97.1 % and retains around 90.3 % of its original height even after 100,000 compressive cycles at 80 % strain. Their cushioning properties were systematically investigated, which are superior to that of wildly-used petroleum-based expanded polyethylene and expanded polystyrene. By employing the foam in a piezoelectric sensor, a smart cushioning packaging and pressure monitoring system is constructed to protect inner precision cargo and detect endured pressure during transportation for the first time.

RESUMO

Triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) have been utilized in a wide range of applications, including smart wearable devices, self-powered sensors, energy harvesting, and high-voltage power sources. The surface morphology and structure of TENGs play a critical role in their output performance. In this review, we analyze the working mechanism of TENGs with the aim to improve their output performance and systematically summarize the morphological engineering and structural design strategies for TENGs. Additionally, we present the emerging applications of TENGs with specific structures and surfaces. Finally, we discuss the potential future development and industrial application of TENGs. By deeply exploring the surface and structural design strategy of high-performance TENGs, it is conducive to further promote the application of TENGs in actual production. We hope that this review provides insights and guidance for the morphological and structural design of TENGs in the future.

RESUMO

Developing highly efficient bi-functional noble-metal-free oxygen electrocatalysts with low-cost and scalable synthesis approach is challenging for zinc-air batteries (ZABs). Due to the flexible valence state of manganese, MnF2 is expected to provide efficient OER. However, its insulating properties may inhibit its OER process to a certain degree. Herein, during the process of converting the manganese source in the precursor of porous carbon nanofibers (PCNFs) to manganese fluoride, the manganese source is changed to manganese acetate, which allows PCNFs to grow a large number of hollow carbon nanorods (HCNRs). Meanwhile, manganese fluoride will transform from the aggregation state into uniformly dispersed MnF2 nanodots, thereby achieving highly efficient OER catalytic activity. Furthermore, the intrinsic ORR catalytic activity of the HCNRs/MnF2 @PCNFs can be enhanced due to the charge modulation effect of MnF2 nanodots inside HCNR. In addition, the HCNRs stretched toward the liquid electrolyte can increase the capture capacity of dissolved oxygen and protect the inner MnF2 , thereby enhancing the stability of HCNRs/MnF2 @PCNFs for the oxygen electrocatalytic process. MnF2 surface-modulated HCNRs can strongly enhance ORR activity, and the uniformly dispersed MnF2 can also provide higher OER activity. Thus, the prepared HCNRs/MnF2 @PCNFs obtain efficient bifunctional oxygen catalytic ability and high-performance rechargeable ZABs.

RESUMO

The development of highly safe and low-cost solid polymer electrolytes for all-solid-state lithium batteries (ASSLBs) has been hindered by low ionic conductivity, poor stability under high-voltage conditions, and severe lithium-dendrite-induced short circuits. In this study, Li-doped MgO nanofibers bearing reactive surface defects of scaled-up production are introduced to the poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO)/lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (LiTFSI) system. The characterizations and density functional theory calculations reveal that TFSI- is strongly adsorbed on the nanofibers based on the electrostatic interactions of surface oxygen vacancies and the formation of Li-N and Li-O bonds derived from the exposed Li. Additionally, the introduced Li exposed near oxygen vacancies may be liberated from the lattice and engage in the formation of Li-rich domains. Therefore, a high ionic conductivity of 1.48 × 10-4 S cm-1 for the solid electrolyte at 30 °C and excellent cycling stability for the assembled battery, with a discharge capacity retention of 85.2% after 1500 cycles at 2C, can be achieved. Furthermore, the increased coordination of EO chains in the Li-rich region and chemical interactions with nanofibers substantially improve the antioxidant stability of the solid electrolyte, endowing the LiNi0.8Co0.1Mn0.1O2/Li battery with a long lifespan of more than 700 cycles. The results of this study suggest that the surface defects of 1D oxide nanostructures can substantially improve the Li+ diffusion kinetics. This study provides insight into the construction of Li-rich regions for high-voltage ASSLBs.

RESUMO

The uncontrolled release of nitrophenol and dye pollutants into water systems is an increasingly serious worldwide concern, and thus efficient wastewater treatment technologies are urgently needed. Herein we report a novel two-dimensional (2D) transition metal carbides and/or nitrides (Ti3C2Tx MXene) membrane modified with silver nanowires (AgNWs) by vacuum assisted filtration technology for the ultrafast nitrophenol catalysis and water purification applications. Regular and controllable membrane transport channels were constructed by stacking Ti3C2Tx MXene nanosheets. Furthermore, the intercalation of AgNWs into the Ti3C2Tx MXene interlayer greatly enlarged the interlayer spacing, resulting in more gaps for fast and selective molecular transport. The optimized Ti3C2Tx MXene@AgNWs (M@A) membrane exhibited a water flux up to ∼191.9 L/(m2 h) while maintaining a high bovine serum albumin (BSA) rejection of ∼95.4%. We emphatically used M@A membranes as efficient catalysts for the reduction of 4-nitrophenol (4-NP), and the results indicated that M@A-12% membrane exhibited the greatest catalytic reduction ability, and recycling utilization. M@A-12% membrane also had an antibacterial rate of more than 99% against Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus). This work provides a possibility to expand the application of 2D multifunctional M@A membranes in wastewater treatment and pollutant catalytic degradation.

RESUMO

The rapid progress in flexible electronic devices has necessitated continual research into nanomaterials, structural design, and fabrication processes. One-dimensional nanowires, characterized by their distinct structures and exceptional properties, are considered essential components for various flexible electronic devices. Considerable attention has been directed toward the assembly of nanowires, which presents significant advantages. Printing and coating techniques can be used to assemble nanowires in a relatively simple, efficient, and cost-competitive manner and exhibit potential for scale-up production in the foreseeable future. This review aims to provide an overview of nanowire assembly using printing and coating techniques, such as bar coating, spray coating, dip coating, blade coating, 3D printing, and so forth. The application of assembled nanowires in flexible electronic devices is subsequently discussed. Finally, further discussion is presented on the potential and challenges of flexible electronic devices based on assembled nanowires via printing and coating.

RESUMO

An ideal wound dressing can absorb wound exudate in time, and has the advantages of moisture permeability, oxygen permeability, rapid hemostatic performance, antibacterial and low-toxic, which are the key to wound healing. However, traditional wound dressings exist structural and functional defects, especially in controlling bleeding and active wound protection. Herein, a novel three-dimensional chitosan/ poly (ethylene oxide) sponge dressing (3D CS/PEO sponge-ZPC) consists of CS/PEO nanofiber sponge (carrier unit), Zn metal-organic framework grown in-situ (Zn-MOF, drug loading unit and antibacterial unit), curcumin (CUR, antibacterial unit), and poly[(N-isopropylacrylamide)-co-(methacrylic acid)] (P(NIPAM-co-MAA), 'gatekeepers' unit) to promote the wound healing by absorb exudate in time, accelerate hemostasis and inhibit bacteria growth. Due to the unique structure of the as-prepared 3D CS/PEO sponge-ZPC was endowed with smart stimuli-responsive drug release mode, rapid hemostatic performance and strong antibacterial property. The result of CUR release showed smart "ON-OFF" drug release mode. Antibacterial results verified strong antibacterial property up to 99.9 %. Hemolysis test showed that hemolysis ratio of 3D CS/PEO sponge-ZPC met the acceptable standard. The rapid hemostatic property was demonstrated by hemostatic test. High wound healing effect was confirmed in vivo. These results provide an important research basis for the design of new smart dressing.

RESUMO

Supramolecular hydrogels involved macrocycles have been explored widely in recent years, but it remains challenging to develop hydrogel based on solitary macrocycle with super gelation capability. Here, the construction of lantern[33 ]arene-based hydrogel with low critical gelation concentration (0.05 wt%), which can be used for efficient oil-water separation, is reported. The lantern[33 ]arenes self-assemble into hydrogen-bonded organic nanoribbons, which intertwine into entangled fibers to form hydrogel. This hydrogel which exhibits reversible pH-responsiveness characteristics can be coated on stainless-steel mesh by in situ sol-gel transformation. The resultant mesh exhibits excellent oil-water separation efficiency (>99%) and flux (>6 × 104 L m-2 h-1 ). This lantern[33 ]arene-based hydrogel not only sheds additional light on the gelation mechanisms for supramolecular hydrogels, but also extends the application of macrocycle-based hydrogels as functional interfacial materials.

RESUMO

Porous carbon-based electrocatalysts for cathodes in zinc-air batteries (ZABs) are limited by their low catalytic activity and poor electronic conductivity, making it difficult for them to be quickly commercialized. To solve these problems of ZABs, copper nanodot-embedded N, F co-doped porous carbon nanofibers (CuNDs@NFPCNFs) are prepared to enhance the electronic conductivity and catalytic activity in this study. The CuNDs@NFPCNFs exhibit excellent oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) performance based on experimental and density functional theory (DFT) simulation results. The copper nanodots (CuNDs) and N, F co-doped carbon nanofibers (NFPCNFs) synergistically enhance the electrocatalytic activity. The CuNDs in the NFPCNFs also enhance the electronic conductivity to facilitate electron transfer during the ORR. The open porous structure of the NFPCNFs promotes the fast diffusion of dissolved oxygen and the formation of abundant gas-liquid-solid interfaces, leading to enhanced ORR activity. Finally, the CuNDs@NFPCNFs show excellent ORR performance, maintaining 92.5% of the catalytic activity after a long-term ORR test of 20000 s. The CuNDs@NFPCNFs also demonstrate super stable charge-discharge cycling for over 400 h, a high specific capacity of 771.3 mAh g-1 and an excellent power density of 204.9 mW cm-2 as a cathode electrode in ZABs. This work is expected to provide reference and guidance for research on the mechanism of action of metal nanodot-enhanced carbon materials for ORR electrocatalyst design.

RESUMO

In the present work, an electrochemical sensor based on reduced graphene oxide/ß-cyclodextrin/silver nanoparticle/polyoxometalate (RGO-CD-AgNP-POM) was developed for the simultaneous detection of uric acid (UA) and L-tyrosine (L-Tyr). First, an RGO-CD-AgNP-POM nanocomposite was synthesized via a simple photoreduction method and characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), energy dispersive X-ray imaging (EDS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA). As an electrode material, RGO-CD-AgNP-POM showed wide linear ranges (0.5-500 µM for UA, and 1-400 µM for L-Tyr) and relatively low detection limits (0.11 µM for UA, and 0.23 µM for L-Tyr). In addition, the combination of supramolecular recognition from CD and excellent electrochemical performances from RGO, AgNPs and POM was expected to enhance the sensing performances toward UA and L-Tyr in real samples with favorable recovery ranges (99%-104%). This nanocomposite provides a new platform for developing the family of electrode materials.

RESUMO

A 3D crimped sulfonated polyethersulfone-polyethylene oxide(C-SPES/PEO) nanofiber membrane and long-range lanthanum cobaltate(LaCoO3 ) nanowires are collectively doped into a PEO matrix to acquire a composite solid electrolyte (C-SPES-PEO-LaCoO3 ) for all-solid-state lithium metal batteries(ASSLMBs). The 3D crimped structure enables the fiber membrane to have a large porosity of 90%. Therefore, under the premise of strongly guaranteeing the mechanical properties of C-SPES-PEO-LaCoO3 , the ceramic nanowires conveniently penetrated into the 3D crimped SPES nanofiber without being blocked, which can facilitate fast ionic conductivity by forming 3D continuous organic-inorganic ion transport pathways. The as-prepared electrolyte delivers an excellent ionic conductivity of 2.5 × 10-4  S cm-1 at 30 °C. Density functional theory calculations indicate that the LaCoO3 nanowires and 3D crimped C-SPES/PEO fibers contribute to Li+ movement. Particularly, the LiFePO4 /C-SPES-PEO-LaCoO3 /Li and NMC811/C-SPES-PEO-LaCoO3 /Li pouch cell have a high initial discharge specific capacity of 156.8 mAh g-1 and a maximum value of 176.7 mAh g-1 , respectively. In addition, the universality of the penetration of C-SPES/PEO nanofibers to functional ceramic nanowires is also reflected by the stable cycling performance of ASSLMBs based on the electrolytes, in which the LaCoO3 nanowires are replaced with Gd-doped CeO2 nanowires. The work will provide a novel approach to high performance solid-state electrolytes.
