Redox-enhanced electrochemical capacitors (redox ECs) address this limitation by incorporating redox-active electrolytes, enabling Faradaic charge storage. Bromide is a promising catholyte due to its high reduction potential, excellent solubility, and low cost. However, the generation of corrosive Br<sub>2</sub> and the cross-diffusion of soluble polybromides result in suboptimal cell efficiency including severe self-discharge and reduced cycle life. Although solid complexing agents have been used to suppress polybromides' cross-diffusion, this approach necessitates water, which inherently limits electrochemical and thermal stability. Here, a hydrated deep eutectic solvent (HDES) electrolyte is developed by combining tetrabutylammonium bromide (TBAB) with ethylene glycol. This HDES system effectively utilizes the multifunctional roles of TBAB: the bromide anion functions as a catholyte, while the TBA cation suppresses polybromides' cross-diffusion as a built-in solid complexing agent. Critically, unlike previous studies that focus on minimally hydrated DESs, this system leverages the hydrophobic effect of TBAB to accommodate higher water content, addressing challenges inherent to DESs while maintaining superior electrochemical and thermal stability. The optimized HDES-50 electrolyte, containing 50 wt.% water, provides a robust and efficient solution for advanced redox ECs.","PeriodicalId":112,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Functional Materials","volume":"35 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":19.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143713786","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}

However, current sensors often struggle to meet these requirements, as they usually rely on a single compression mechanism. In this study, a microvilli-microstructures sensor is reported which is capable of tracking ultra-broad-range pressures based on a synchronous-compression mechanism. The synchronous-compression mechanism includes: i) the increase of microvilli-induced electron-transfer, ii) the increase of microstructure contact area, and iii) the decrease of multi-walled carbon nanotubes spacing. At the high-pressure stages, the mechanisms contribute synchronously to changes in resistance. Hence, this sensor can measure a 5 kPa pressure change under the extremely high- pressure (750 kPa) conditions of meniscus simulation, where the commercial sensor fails. This sensor exhibits a high sensitivity of 58.88 kPa<sup>−1</sup>, an ultra-broad working range from 50 Pa up to 782.5 kPa, a rapid response time of 9 ms, and a long-duration (under 250 kPa pressure, cycling for 10,000 times). This flexible pressure sensor also shows versatility and potential for various applications. The synchronous-compression mechanism proposed here can inspire future designs of high-performance flexible sensors.","PeriodicalId":112,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Functional Materials","volume":"60 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":19.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143713564","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}

The as-prepared BPCs offer excellent injectability, enhanced mechanical properties (≈252% increase in compressive strength), and favorable magnetothermal effects, enabling minimally invasive, in situ bone molding via easygoing injection for orthopedic surgeries. The introduction of PMMA in BPCs significantly improves mechanical strength while maintaining the injectability of bismuth alloys, and reduces exothermic heat during curing to prevent thermal damage to bone tissue. In vivo experiments demonstrate that under an alternating magnetic field, BPCs exhibit outstanding tumor cell killing capability and inhibit osteosarcoma growth through efficient magnetic hyperthermia. Further, long-term in vivo implantation results coupled with histological analysis display stable bone filling and evident bone regeneration, attributed to the collaborative efficacy of BPC implant and mild magnetothermal therapy.
