Thermocatalytic CH<sub>4</sub> decomposition is an effective pathway toward their production, forming H<sub>2</sub> as the only byproduct. However, catalyst deactivation due to sintering and blockage of the active sites, together with their detachment from the support remains a challenge. In this work, nickel phyllosilicate is employed as a catalyst precursor for the formation of active and stable metal sites. Surprisingly, the particles remain attached to the support, switching from the typical tip-growth reported for state-of-the-art catalysts to a base growth mechanism. The nickel nanoparticles remain stable against sintering even under harsh conditions up to 750 °C. A combination of DFT calculations, in situ TEM, and in situ XRD studies reveals that the reduction of Ni─O bonds, particularly those involving silicon-bonded oxygen (Si─O─Ni; apical oxygen), requires high temperatures. Post-activation, the small, dispersed nickel nanoparticles catalyze CH<sub>4</sub> decomposition into carbon nanotubes and H<sub>2</sub>. Unlike prior reports, in situ XRD confirms no nickel carbide formation in the bulk. Additionally, in contrast to any known nickel-based catalyst, it is demonstrated that particles below 10 nm can effectively activate CH<sub>4</sub> cracking, avoid encapsulation, and enable the base-growth of micrometer-long, narrow carbon nanotubes.","PeriodicalId":228,"journal":{"name":"Small","volume":"19 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":13.3,"publicationDate":"2025-06-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144211291","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}

Efficient single-cell isolation technology can significantly enhance low-abundance single-cell detection sensitivity. However, the lack of individual control over each target cell hinders further bio-analysis. Here, a “cell-on-demand” large-scale digital microfluidics platform is reported for real-time low-abundance single-cell manipulations. Compared to the conventional strategy that sequentially identifies the target cells among the heterogeneous population, the “cell-on-demand” method can conduct targeted-search-guided target cell isolation, enabled by on-demand droplet splitting. The results demonstrate that “cell-on-demand” is nearly eightfold more effective compared to the conventional strategy in dealing with low-abundance (1%) single-cells. To validate the system's feasibility, heterogenous tumor spheroids samples are used for isolating homogeneous single-target tumor spheroids, in integration with subsequent drug sensitivity testing and analysis. Drug sensitivity results show significant differences in half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) for three chemotherapy drugs: Fluorouracil, Irinotecan, and Oxaliplatin, while in high consistency with well-plate-based assays. With the capability of processing both high and low-abundance samples, the proposed platform shows potential in handling various samples and in broader applications.","PeriodicalId":228,"journal":{"name":"Small","volume":"4 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":13.3,"publicationDate":"2025-06-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144211713","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}

However, they face challenges such as low response actuation and short operating life. This study explored doping alginate hydrogels with micro–nanomaterials to improve their electro–mechano–chemical performance. Carboxylated multi–walled carbon nanotubes are covalently bonded to sodium alginate (SA) through esterification, enhancing electrical conductivity and response actuation. Graphene oxide formed a compact structure via carboxyl and hydroxyl interactions, dispersing SA molecules, reducing agglomeration, and enhancing ion channel stability, which reduced resistance by 36.8%. Meanwhile, the sulfonic acid group in polystyrene sulfonate sodium improved water retention and lowered the elastic modulus. Crosslinking with SA created a stable hydrogel network, boosting anion concentration and aiding hydrated cation migration. This led to a 52.3% decrease in the elastic modulus of AHAM, resulting in a maximum actuated force–mass ratio up to 5.9 times higher than the control group.","PeriodicalId":228,"journal":{"name":"Small","volume":"16 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":13.3,"publicationDate":"2025-06-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144211286","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}

In this study, molecular dynamics (MD) simulations are employed to systematically investigate the complete Li-ion transport progress, encompassing the electrolyte, organic/inorganic SEI components, and two critical interfaces: electrolyte/organic SEI and organic SEI/inorganic SEI. The results indicate that Li ions in the organic SEI retain either full or partial solvation shells. Free energy profiles reveal that the highest energy barrier emerges at the organic–inorganic SEI interface due to the complete desolvation of Li ions and structural differences between the organic and inorganic SEI layers.
