5. Environmental impact assessment indicates that the proposed recycling route allows remarkable reduction of global warming and toxicity impacts compared with metal production from virgin mining and reference processes. We further unveiled the applicability of the electrodeposition technique in the context of anthropogenic mineral recycling, emphasizing resource sustainability and cleaner production.Quaternary nonlinear optical single crystals AgxGaxGe1-xSe2 (x = 0.250, 0.167) were grown by the Bridgman method in a four-zone furnace. The thermal expansion behavior of AgxGaxGe1-xSe2 (x = 0.25, 0.167) was studied by the method of single-crystal X-ray diffraction from 150 to 295 K and powder X-ray diffraction in the range of 298-773 K. Both results show the crystals have positive linear thermal expansion coefficients in different directions and a positive volume thermal expansion coefficient, and it is observed that they satisfy the relationship of αa > αc > αb and αV ≈ αa + αb + αc for the orthorhombic structure. It is found that the AgxGaxGe1-xSe2 (x = 0.25, 0.167) unit cells varying with temperature were mainly dominated by variations in framework geometry (AgSe4 tetrahedron), and the thermal motion of Ag atoms in the AgSe4 tetrahedron. As it was revealed, according to the powder X-ray diffraction, it is found that the isotropic thermal atomic displacement parameter of the Ag atoms is much larger than those of the Se and Ga(Ge) atoms in the AgSe4 tetrahedron. Furthermore, anisotropic atomic displacement parameters (ADPs) of Ag atoms are extracted from the single-crystal diffraction; the ADPs along the a axis, b axis, and c axis have a significant difference, which means the thermal vibration of Ag atoms is anisotropic. It is of great significance for improving crystal growth technology and understanding the thermal properties of this kind of crystals.Copper-based sulfides are promising materials for thermoelectric applications, which can convert waste heat into electricity. This study reports the enhanced thermoelectric performance of Cu26V2Ge6S32 colusite via substitution of antimony (Sb) for germanium (Ge) and introduction of copper (Cu) as an interstitial atom. The crystal structure of the solid solutions and Cu-rich compounds were analyzed by powder X-ray diffraction and scanning transmission electron microscopy. Both chemical approaches decrease the hole carrier concentration, which leads to a reduction in the electronic thermal conductivity while keeping the thermoelectric power factor at a high value. Furthermore, the interstitial Cu atoms act as phonon scatterers, thereby decreasing the lattice thermal conductivity. The combined effects increase the dimensionless thermoelectric figure of merit ZT from 0.3 (Cu26V2Ge6S32) to 0.8 (Cu29V2Ge5SbS32) at 673 K.New neutral iridium(III) complexes featuring a cubic polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) unit, [Ir(N∧C)2(L1-POSS)] [HN∧C = 2-phenylpyridine (Hppy; 1), 2-phenylbenzothioazole (Hbt; 2), and 2-(1-naphthyl)benzothiazole (Hbsn; 3); L1-POSS = (E)-4-[(2-hydroxybenzylidene)amino]benzyl 3-heptakis(isobutyl)POSS-propyl carbamate], were designed and synthesized. Their POSS-free counterparts, [Ir(N∧C)2(L1)] [L1 = (E)-N-(4-hydroxymethylphenyl)-1-(2-hydroxyphenyl)methanimine; HN∧C = Hppy (1a), Hbt (2a), and Hbsn (3a)], and the poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) derivatives [Ir(N∧C)2(L1-PEG)] [L1-PEG = (E)-4-[(2-hydroxybenzylidene)amino]benzyl 3-[2-[ω-methoxypoly(1-oxapropyl)]ethyl]carbamate; HN∧C = Hppy (1b), Hbt (2b), and Hbsn (3b)] were also prepared. selleck chemicals The photophysical, photochemical, and biological properties of the POSS complexes were compared with those of their POSS-free and PEG-modified counterparts. Upon irradiation, all of these complexes displayed orange-to-red emission and long emission lifetimes under ambient hways of these complexes were also investigated. This work not only offers promising luminescent probes for lipid droplets through the structural modification of iridium(III) complexes but also paves the way to the construction of new reagents for theranostics.Minimum and zero liquid discharge (MLD/ZLD) are emerging brine management strategies that attract heightened attention. Although conventional reverse osmosis (RO) can improve the energy efficiency of MLD/ZLD processes, its application is limited by the maximum hydraulic pressure (ΔPmax) that can be applied in current membrane modules. To overcome such limitation, novel RO-based technologies, including osmotically assisted RO (OARO) and low-salt-rejection RO (LSRRO), have been proposed. Herein, we utilize process modeling to systematically compare the energy consumption of OARO and LSRRO for MLD/ZLD applications. Our modeling results show that the specific energy consumption (SEC) of LSRRO is lower (by up to ∼30%) than that of OARO for concentrating moderately saline feed waters (∼70,000 mg/L TDS). However, by implementing more stages and/or an elevated ΔPmax, LSRRO has the potential to outperform OARO energetically for treating high-salinity feed waters. Notably, the SEC of both OARO and LSRRO could be 50% lower than that of mechanical vapor compressor, the commonly used brine concentrator in MLD/ZLD applications. We conclude with a discussion on the practicability of OARO and LSRRO based on membrane module availability and capital cost, suggesting that LSRRO could potentially be more feasible than OARO.It is of great significance to disclose the diverse aging pathways for polymers under multiple factors, so as to predict and control the potential aging evolution. However, the current methods fail to distinguish multiple pathways (multi-paths) of polymer aging due to the lack of spatiotemporal resolution. In this work, using polyimide as a model polymer, the hydroxyl, carboxyl, and amino groups from the polyimide aging process were labeled using specific fluorescent probes through boron-oxygen, imine, and thiourea linkages, respectively. When the excitation and emission wavelengths of each fluorescent probe were controlled, the multi-paths in polyimide aging can be visualized individually and simultaneously in three-dimensional fluorescent images. The overall aging process under hydrothermal treatment was destructured into the pyrolysis and hydrolysis pathways. Three-dimensional dynamic studies discovered that the increased humidity, along with the decreased oxygen content, could hamper the pyrolysis reaction and accelerate the hydrolysis reaction, leading to severe degradation of the overall polyimide aging. More importantly, the oxygen showed a higher regulation coefficient in accelerating the pyrolysis reaction, than the water vapor in motivating the hydrolysis reactions. Such a multidimensional identification methodology is able to guide the long-term use of polymers and control their aging process to a harmless direction in advance by tuning the contents of oxygen and water vapor.A computational protocol for simulating time-resolved photoelectron signals of medium-sized molecules is presented. The procedure is based on a trajectory surface-hopping description of the excited-state dynamics and a combined Dyson orbital and multicenter B-spline approach for the computation of cross sections and asymmetry parameters. The accuracy of the procedure has been illustrated for the case of ultrafast internal conversion of gas-phase pyrazine excited to the 1B2u(ππ*) state. The simulated spectra and the asymmetry map are compared to the experimental data, and a very good agreement was obtained without applying any energy-dependent rescaling or broadening. An interesting side result of this work is the finding that the signature of the 1Au(nπ*) state is indistinguishable from that of the 1B3u(nπ*) state in the time-resolved photoelectron spectrum. By locating four symmetrically equivalent minima on the lowest-excited (S1) adiabatic potential energy surface of pyrazine, we revealed the strong vibronic coupling of the 1Au(nπ*) and 1B3u(nπ*) states near the S1 ← S0 band origin.Hydrogen evolution by alternating conjugated copolymers has attracted much attention in recent years. To study alternating copolymers with data-driven strategies, two types of multidimension fragmentation descriptors (MDFD), structure-based MDFD (SMDFD), and electronic property-based MDFD (EPMDFD), have been developed with machine learning (ML) algorithms for the first time. The superiority of SMDFD-based models has been demonstrated by the highly accurate and universal predictions of electronic properties. Moreover, EPMDFD-based, experimental-parameter-free ML models were developed for the prediction of the hydrogen evolution reaction, displaying excellent accuracy (real-test accuracy = 0.91). The combination of explainable ML approaches and first-principles calculations was employed to explore photocatalytic dynamics, revealing the importance of electron delocalization in the excited state. Virtual designing of high-performance candidates can also be achieved. Our work illustrates the huge potential of ML-based material design in the field of polymeric photocatalysts toward high-performance photocatalysis.Multiphasic calcium phosphate (Ca-P) has widely been explored for bone graft replacement. This study represents a simple method of developing osteoinductive scaffolds by direct printing of seashell resources. The process demonstrates a coagulation-assisted extrusion-based three-dimensional (3D) printing process for rapid fabrication of multiphasic calcium phosphate-incorporated 3D scaffolds. These scaffolds demonstrated an interconnected open porous architecture with improved compressive strength and higher surface area. Multiphasic calcium phosphate (Ca-P) and hydroxyapatite present in the multi-scalar naturally resourced scaffold displayed differential protein adsorption, thus facilitating cell adhesion, migration, and differentiation, resulting in enhanced deposition of the extracellular matrix. The microstructural and physicochemical attributes of the scaffolds also lead to enhanced stem cell differentiation as witnessed from gene and protein expression analysis. Furthermore, the histological study of subcutaneous implantation evidently portrays promising biocompatibility without foreign body reaction. Neo-tissue in-growth was manifested with abundant blood vessels, thus indicative of excellent vascularization. Notably, cartilaginous and proteoglycan-rich tissue deposition indicated ectopic bone formation via an endochondral ossification pathway. The hierarchical interconnected porous architectural tribology accompanied with multiphasic calcium phosphate composition manifests its successful implication in enhancing stem cell differentiation and promoting excellent tissue in-growth, thus making it a plausible alternative in bone tissue engineering applications.Machine learning and artificial intelligence (ML/AI) are rapidly becoming an indispensable part of physics research, with domain applications ranging from theory and materials prediction to high-throughput data analysis. In parallel, the recent successes in applying ML/AI methods for autonomous systems from robotics to self-driving cars to organic and inorganic synthesis are generating enthusiasm for the potential of these techniques to enable automated and autonomous experiments (AE) in imaging. Here, we aim to analyze the major pathways toward AE in imaging methods with sequential image formation mechanisms, focusing on scanning probe microscopy (SPM) and (scanning) transmission electron microscopy ((S)TEM). We argue that automated experiments should necessarily be discussed in a broader context of the general domain knowledge that both informs the experiment and is increased as the result of the experiment. As such, this analysis should explore the human and ML/AI roles prior to and during the experiment and consider the latencies, biases, and prior knowledge of the decision-making process.
