Herein, the feasibility of fabricating a porous and rough PbI<jats:sub>2</jats:sub> layer is demonstrated by incorporating a perfluorinated oxirane (TFHO) additive, thereby facilitating better penetration of the organic amine salts and promoting the crystallization process of perovskite films, as well as enhancing the resistance of water erosion.

Consequently, TFHO‐modified perovskite solar cells (PSCs) achieve a champion efficiency of 25.24% with an ultra‐high fill factor of 87.61%. The enhanced light stability enables these cells to retain 80% of their initial efficiency after 1200 h of continuous 1‐sun illumination. Moreover, by incorporating TFHO into all‐air‐processed PSCs, a champion efficiency of 23.65% is achieved offering a promising prospect for promoting the commercialization of PSCs.","PeriodicalId":112,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Functional Materials","volume":"25 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":19.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144370600","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study investigates the high-temperature mechanical response of the L1<sub>2</sub> phase in this HEA using atomistic simulations. A 2×2×2 supercell was used to represent L1<sub>2</sub>-structured regions in the quinary HEA, circumventing the limitations of modeling it directly within a 4-atom unit cell. The ordered (OM) and disordered (DM) models, with similar compositions, were compared under high-temperature deformation. The results revealed stress-induced phase decomposition in the OM, consistent with experimental observations in the alloy. The DM, conversely, exhibited superior phase stability. Furthermore, the OM exhibited significantly higher strength and enhanced ductility compared to the DM. Specifically, the OM showed a significant increase in the length of Shockley partial dislocations and stair-rod dislocations. Additionally, the OM exhibited a reduced dislocation density during tensile deformation. These observations collectively demonstrate that the OM possesses lower resistance to dislocation expansion and a greater propensity for cross-slip and dynamic recovery. This resulted in a lower work-hardening rate and improved uniform elongation, ductility, and toughness in the OM.","PeriodicalId":344,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Alloys and Compounds","volume":"132 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.2,"publicationDate":"2025-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144370805","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Herein, a facile one-step approach was proposed for in situ transformation from bulk V<sub>2</sub>O<sub>5</sub> to sandwiched nanosheets with the atomic co-inserting interlayer. The pre-intercalated organic filler could widen the intercalative channels to accommodate continuous Zn-ion diffusion and increase the surface hydrophobicity for impeding vanadium dissolution. The pre-enrichment of charge carriers weakens the electrostatic interaction between the vanadium oxide lattice and intercalated cation, leading to superior structural stability and faster cation diffusion kinetics. Accordingly, the ensemble effect further efficiently mitigates cathodic passivation and facilitates a better electrochemical response of assembled zinc-ion pouch cells with an extremely low N/P ratio of 0.5, affording an energy density of 180 Wh kg<sup>–1</sup>. Importantly, anode-free zinc-ion full cells equipped with pre-zincificated cathodes was realized, advancing the promising practical potential of the designed cathodes.","PeriodicalId":53,"journal":{"name":"Nano Letters","volume":"16 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":10.8,"publicationDate":"2025-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144370816","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, by using a facile self-assembly method, we developed an armor-like interfacial layer (ZSL) on the Zn surface, serving as both an ion re-distributor and a protective barrier. This compact interfacial layer exhibits suitable hydrophilic and zincophilic features, enabling consistent and uniform Zn<sup>2+</sup> flux and reducing voltage polarization. The ZSL also enhances the de-solvation process, speeds up zinc deposition kinetics, and suppresses parasitic reactions induced by water decomposition. Furthermore, it decreases the surface energy, promoting planar deposition of Zn<sup>2+</sup>. As a result, the modified zinc anodes demonstrate exceptional cycling stability, maintaining a dendrite-free surface for more than 8000 h with minimal byproduct formation. The asymmetric cell utilizing ZSL@Zn anodes exhibits highly stable reversibility over 6000 cycles with an average Coulombic efficiency (CE) of 99.89%.

In this study, we developed a multifunctional nanocomposite (GQDs@MPN) with reactive oxygen species scavenging properties. This nanocomposite consists of graphene quantum dots encapsulated within a metal-polyphenol network (GQDs@MPN) formed by physiological Co (II)-coordinated epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG). GQDs@MPN effectively modulates the AD microenvironment by inhibiting Aβ<sub>42</sub> amyloidosis, attenuating oxidative stress, and regulating microglial activity. In vivo experiments demonstrated that GQDs@MPN, capable of crossing the blood-brain barrier (BBB), significantly reduced Aβ<sub>42</sub> deposition in APP/PS1 mice. Additionally, GQDs@MPN could exert its anti-inflammatory function by scavenging intracellular ROS and regulating the transformation of microglia from M1 phenotype to M2 phenotype, thus alleviating neuroinflammation. The underlying molecular mechanism is the up-regulation of nuclear factor-erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) to clear ROS and subsequently inhibit the nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) signaling pathway. GQDs@MPN also effectively alleviated cognitive impairment and exhibited favorable biocompatibility in APP/PS1 mice. These findings suggest that GQDs@MPN is a promising candidate for multi-targeted AD therapy. We propose that such multifunctional nanocomposites could offer new avenues for developing novel AD inhibitors.","PeriodicalId":16154,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Materials Science & Technology","volume":"27 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":10.9,"publicationDate":"2025-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144371081","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
