The behavior of water-soluble components and their significance in this context were examined through chemical extraction experiments and analysis. The results indicated that both degraded wood veneer and surface mycelium exhibit comparable bonding strength. In addition, a significant finding of the study is that water-soluble components washed from mycelium, which exhibit a 7% higher protein content and a distinct carbohydrate composition compared to those washed from wood, are crucial in achieving effective bonding. Notably, proteins and high-molecular-weight carbohydrates are identified as key factors responsible for the favorable bonding behavior observed with mycelium. These findings offer valuable insights for the further development of sustainable materials utilizing mycelium as a binder and emphasize the importance of manipulating the composition of water-soluble components to optimize interfacial adhesion.","PeriodicalId":101138,"journal":{"name":"RSC Applied Interfaces","volume":" 5","pages":" 1036-1044"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://pubs.rsc.org/en/content/articlepdf/2024/lf/d4lf00061g?page=search","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142165112","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, rapid capacity fade and safety issues due to inhomogeneous deposition and side reaction between lithium and electrolyte are the main hindrance to the successful utilization of the lithium metal anode. As a solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) plays an important role in lithium stripping and deposition, we propose a multi-component, organic–inorganic composite artificial SEI formed by ring-opening polymerization of 1,3-dioxolane (DOL) with incorporation of inorganic salt additives. The formed poly-DOL can provide a robust and flexible organic matrix which confines the reduction of other components to form a composite SEI and protect the lithium metal anode to improve the cycle stability of a lithium metal battery. The composition of this SEI layer is designed towards employing the coated layer for lithium metal anodes in carbonate-based and ether-based electrolyte systems. This work provides an alternative approach to effectively protect the lithium electrode before cycling in a battery.","PeriodicalId":101138,"journal":{"name":"RSC Applied Interfaces","volume":" 5","pages":" 1020-1030"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://pubs.rsc.org/en/content/articlepdf/2024/lf/d4lf00083h?page=search","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142165149","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Meanwhile, biomass-derived carbon has also become a prominent electrode material in recent years due to its cost-effectiveness, eco-friendliness, and availability of biomass in abundance. Carbon can be synthesized from biomass precursors such as plants, animals, and microorganisms via various synthesis and activation techniques. MnO2 is combined with carbon to obtain composite materials with improved electrochemical properties and structural stability. Sustainable porosity in MnO2-biomass-derived carbon composites increases the conductivity and electrochemical performance of the electrode material. Hence, MnO2 and biomass-derived composite materials have received great attention regarding their potential use as electrode materials in SCs. Recently, significant new developments in the synthesis and testing of such composite materials have been made. In this review, recent reports about such composite materials are listed and analyzed with numerous examples providing the authors with important collective information. Here, we place a strong emphasis on carbons obtained from a variety of biomass and different types of MnO2 and composites made from them for SC application.

Their unique physicochemical attributes make propene-bridged cyanurate tetramers decorated on carbon nanosheets (CNHs) promising materials for biomedical applications. In this study, we synthesized CNHs using cyanuric acid as the dopant and glycerol and sulphuric acid as the precursors and investigated their antibacterial activity against prominent bacterial strains, Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. By conducting in vitro experiments, we assessed the antibacterial efficacy of these materials. Additionally, by performing in silico molecular docking analysis, we unraveled the intricate interactions between CNH materials and their targets in bacterial cells. These studies confirmed the profound antibacterial effectiveness of CNHs against both the bacterial strains. In addition, molecular dynamics simulation of total 3 μs revealed the interaction of CNHs with the enzymes GlmU of E. coli and MurE of S. aureus, which are responsible for bacterial cell wall synthesis, resulting in the inhibition of bacterial growth. These findings manifest the potential of the CNH as a promising antibacterial agent. The unique physicochemical properties of the CNH, coupled with antibacterial activity, substantiate their promising roles across an expansive array of biomedical applications, prominently inclining towards the combat against debilitating bacterial infections.","PeriodicalId":101138,"journal":{"name":"RSC Applied Interfaces","volume":" 5","pages":" 928-943"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://pubs.rsc.org/en/content/articlepdf/2024/lf/d4lf00120f?page=search","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142165134","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Janus membranes, featuring bilayer hydrophobic/hydrophilic structures, offer high functionality and have attracted significant interest in this field. This study explores the integration of novel graphene nanoplatelets (GNP) derived from waste tire pyrolysis through upcycling as a photothermal source in Janus membranes. The membranes consist of polyacrylonitrile (PAN) nanofibrous membranes for water supply and polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA)/graphene nanoplatelets (GNP) nanofibrous membranes for light harvesting. The effects of GNP content and layer thicknesses on photothermal activity, water transport, and overall evaporation rate were analyzed experimentally and numerically.

Here, we first synthesize a series of isoindigo-based donor–acceptor copolymers with varying ratios of linear alkoxy and branched alkyl side chains (PII2TC8C10, PII2TPEO25, PII2TPEO40, PII2TPEO63). Among this group of polymers, PII2TPEO25 with partial alkoxy chains exhibits a high field-effect mobility of 1.98 ± 0.05 × 10−1 cm2 V−1 s−1, comparable to PII2TC8C10 with all branched alkyl side chains. After doping with an ionic additive, i.e., tetrabutylammonium perchlorate (TBAP), the hole mobility of PII2TPEO25 was significantly increased up to 0.37 cm2 V−1 s−1, which is almost twice the mobility of its counterpart without the ionic additive. The increase in charge mobility with the addition of TBAP is mainly attributed to the fact that the presence of the ionic species inhibits the torsion of the isoindigo-based copolymer backbone, which is induced by the alkoxy side chains. Polymers with alkoxy side chains have smaller torsion angles and larger crystal sizes than polymers without alkoxy side chains. This study demonstrates that the binding of polar alkoxy side chains to ionic additives is important for charge transport in donor–acceptor copolymers.","PeriodicalId":101138,"journal":{"name":"RSC Applied Interfaces","volume":" 5","pages":" 1012-1019"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://pubs.rsc.org/en/content/articlepdf/2024/lf/d4lf00093e?page=search","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142165172","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This feature has been demonstrated in a 100 μm thick n-InAs slab with three unannealed Cr–Au–Ni–Au contacts formed via evaporation in vacuum. The I–V characteristics showed no deviation from Ohm's law in the temperature range 77–340 K, manifesting a contact resistance ranging from 3.6 × 10−5 to 7.2 × 10−5 Ω cm2 at room temperature. The 2D thermal radiation distribution and the temperature distribution over the n-InAs surface opposite the contact side surface was obtained via a pre-calibrated IR microscope operating at a wavelength of 3 μm. The measurements revealed a current dependent temperature decline in the area adjacent to the negatively biased contact: at the applied power of 5 mW, cooling as strong as ΔT ≈ 1 K occurred at an ambient temperature of 340 K.

The microstructural analysis of nanocomposite films revealed that 2D nanofillers predominantly existed in an agglomerated state inside the polymer matrix and the size of the nanofiller cluster linearly increased as a function of loading percentage.
