However, due to the nonlinear response for ions containing multiple analyte molecules, the limits of detection improve only by a factor of 3 to 4 for proton-bound dimers and 3 for the proton-bound 1-octanol trimer. Nevertheless, this still leads to single-digit pptv limits of detection for protonated monomers and hundred pptv limits of detection for proton-bound dimers measured for a series of ketones. However, for the most intense peaks such as the reactant ion peak, a significant loss of resolving power by a factor of up to 1.4 was observed due to Coulomb repulsion.Li7La3Zr2O12 (LLZO)-based ceramics are well-known as the most promising solid electrolytes for all-solid-state lithium metal batteries. However, its practical application has been significantly hindered by high Li/LLZO interfacial impedance as a result of poor interfacial contact. To solve these issues, in this work, the ZnO layer was magnetron sputter-deposited on Li6.55La2.95Ca0.05Zr1.5Ta0.5O12 (LLCZTO) pellets. It was found that by introducing a 200 nm thick ZnO layer, the interfacial area specific resistance was sharply reduced to as low as 1% that of pristine LLCZTO; meanwhile, Li plating/stripping performance was improved significantly with a long life span of 320 h and a low polarization potential of 0.1 V, whereas a thicker ZnO layer of 600 nm can only improve the interface contact to a very limited extent because of the accumulated volume expansion induced by the in situ transformation of ZnO to the Li-Zn alloy, demonstrating the thickness-dependent beneficial effect of the ZnO layer on improving the Li/LLCZTO interfacial contact and therefore reducing the interfacial resistance. Accordingly, the evolution of the interfacial contact mode and the Li+ migration mechanism during the Li plating/stripping process without or with ZnO layers of different thicknesses were discussed in detail.Arrays of metallic particles patterned on a substrate have emerged as a promising design for on-chip plasmonic lasers. In past examples of such devices, the periodic particles provided feedback at a single resonance wavelength, and organic dye molecules were used as the gain material. Here, we introduce a flexible template-based fabrication method that allows a broader design space for Ag particle-array lasers. Instead of dye molecules, we integrate colloidal quantum dots (QDs), which offer better photostability and wavelength tunability. Our fabrication approach also allows us to easily adjust the refractive index of the substrate and the QD-film thickness. Exploiting these capabilities, we demonstrate not only single-wavelength lasing but dual-wavelength lasing via two distinct strategies. First, by using particle arrays with rectangular lattice symmetries, we obtain feedback from two orthogonal directions. The two output wavelengths from this laser can be selected individually using a linear polarizer. Second, by adjusting the QD-film thickness, we use higher-order transverse waveguide modes in the QD film to obtain dual-wavelength lasing at normal and off-normal angles from a symmetric square array. We thus show that our approach offers various design possibilities to tune the laser output.To design a high-performance sodium-ion battery anode, binary zinc phosphides (ZnP2 and Zn3P2) were synthesized by a facile solid-state heat treatment process, and their Na storage characteristics were evaluated. The Na reactivity of ZnP2 was better than that of Zn3P2. Therefore, a C-modified ZnP2-based composite (ZnP2-C) was fabricated to achieve better electrochemical performance. To investigate the electrochemical reaction mechanism of ZnP2-C during sodiation/desodiation, various ex situ analytical techniques were employed. During sodiation, ZnP2 in the composite was transformed into NaZn13 and Na3P phases, exhibiting a one-step conversion reaction. Conversely, Zn and P in NaZn13 and Na3P, respectively, were fully recombined to the original ZnP2 phase during desodiation. Owing to the one-step conversion/recombination of ZnP2 in the composite during cycling, the ZnP2-C showed high electrochemical performance with a highly reversible capacity of 883 mA h g-1 after 130 cycles with no capacity deterioration and a fast C-rate capability of 500 mA h g-1 at 1 C and 350 mA h g-1 at 3 C.Gel-type polymer electrolytes are very promising to replace liquid electrolytes, addressing the leakage concerns in batteries. In this work, we report a concentrated gel polymer electrolyte for aqueous zinc-metal batteries, which manifests superior Zn stripping/plating reversibility and electrolyte stability, combined with a promising electrochemical stability window and robust water-retention ability. Quasi-solid-state Zn/V2O5 batteries employing such an electrolyte reach a specific energy of 326 W h kg-1 at 20 mA g-1 based on the cathode mass and a capacity retention of 93% over 600 cycles at 500 mA g-1. Moreover, the cell performs well in the 0-40 °C temperature range without significant capacity loss. These results represent important steps toward the development of high-energy aqueous zinc batteries.In this work, we present a fully 3D-printed module for attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectroscopy ready for use in commercial FTIR spectrometers. The developed setup stands out in terms of robustness and ease of sample application. Rapid prototyping paired with theoretical considerations were employed to design and fabricate the module. EHop-016 concentration Cost-efficient commercial available silicon and germanium ATR crystals prepared from double-sided polished wafers were mounted in the setup. While low-noise levels and stability bear comparison with commercial systems, the multibounce ATR crystal's long interaction pathlengths as well as their interchangeability turns the presented ATR module into an even more sophisticated tool. The versatility of the proposed setup is demonstrated for various spectroscopic challenges Curing of a cyanoacrylate and a two-component epoxy based adhesive was monitored by tracking polymerization processes at room and high temperatures. To emphasize potential applications of the disposable ATR module in life science studies exploring potential biohazardous samples, mid-IR spectra of Escherichia coli and bovine serum albumin were recorded. The total printing time of the ATR module is 10.5 h, enabling overnight fabrication at a total cost ranging from 150 to 613 €, making the high versatility of ATR spectroscopy accessible to a broader audience. This proves the potential of 3D printing to generate optical instruments tailored to the needs of individual analytical problems.
