Article Abstract
A self-healable gas barrier nanocoating, which is fabricated by alternate deposition of polyethyleneimine (PEI) and polyacrylic acid (PAA) polyelectrolytes, is demonstrated in this study. This multilayer film, with high elastic modulus, high glass transition temperature, and small free volume, has been shown to be a super oxygen gas barrier. An 8-bilayer PEI/PAA multilayer assembly (≈700 nm thick) exhibits an oxygen transmission rate (OTR) undetectable to commercial instrumentation (<0.005 cc (m d atm )). The barrier property of PEI/PAA nanocoating is lost after a moderate amount of stretching due to its rigidity, which is then completely restored after high humidity exposure, therefore achieving a healing efficiency of 100%. The OTR of the multilayer nanocoating remains below the detection limit after ten stretching-healing cycles, which proves this healing process to be highly robust. The high oxygen barrier and self-healing behavior of this polymer multilayer nanocoating makes it ideal for packaging (food, electronics, and pharmaceutical) and gas separation applications.

Electrochemical Capacitors (ECs) are considered capable of replacing bulky and low-capacitance aluminum electrolytic capacitors (AECs) in alternative-current filtering, yet regrettably, they have been plagued by slow ion migration and sluggish electrical response. Non-carbon-based electrode materials, while exhibiting significantly higher electric double-layer capacitance (EDLC) compared to carbon-based electrodes, still face the challenge of relatively high interfacial charge transfer resistance (R) that needs to be overcome. Here, a charge-transfer kinetics enhancement strategy is demonstrated by utilizing the lattice oxygen deficiency in molybdenum dioxide (MoO ) to increase metallic electrical conductivity and the number of active sites.

Reductive stress (RS) results from the overactivity of the enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidant systems and from excess antioxidant agents that neutralize reactive oxygen species. (HSL) is a natural source of antioxidant molecules that can overload the antioxidant system. Twenty-one Wistar rats were divided into three groups: group 1 (G) G1: rats that consumed a 6% HSL infusion for one month (HSL + 6%), G2: rats that consumed a 6% HSL infusion for one month and were then given natural water for another month (HSL ± 6%), and G3: rats with natural drinking water.

Rechargeable aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) have become a viable option in electrochemical energy storage systems (EESS) owing to their inherent safety features and economic friendliness. Nonetheless, creating suitable cathode materials for AZIBs with high structural stability, good rate performance, and great capacity remains a significant challenge. Polyoxometalate (POM)-based nanohybrid materials have shown promising results in high cycling stability and great specific capacity.

Atomically thin films exhibiting ultra-low friction and ultra-strong wear resistance are crucial for overcoming lubrication challenges in micro-nano electromechanical systems (M/NEMS). However, achieving these properties under conventional pressure conditions remains a major challenge. In this study, a novel strategy is presented to further reduce friction and enhance wear resistance by tuning the atmosphere composition.

Radical anions are competent reagents for supporting photoredox transformations of exceptionally strong chemical bonds. However, the excited states of radical anions are extremely short-lived, making them impractical for directly accomplishing photochemical transformations with meaningful quantum yields. Herein, we examine the radical anion of 9,10-dicyanoanthracene (DCA), which has previously been reported to activate aryl chloride substrates.
