Article Abstract
Recent experimental study shows that the pre-lithiated MoS monolayer exhibits an enhanced electrochemical performance, coulombic efficiency of which is 26% higher than the pristine MoS based anode. The underlying mechanism of such significant enhancement, however, has not yet been addressed. By means of density functional theory (DFT) calculations, we systematically investigated the adsorption and diffusion behavior of lithium (Li) atoms on the MS (M = Mo, W, V) monolayers. On the pre-lithiated MS monolayers, the adsorption energy of extra Li ions are not significantly changed, implying the feasibility of multilayer adsorption. Of importance, the Li diffusion barriers on pre-lithiated MS are negligibly small because of the charge accumulation between the diffusing Li ions and the pre-lithiating Li layer. Correspondingly, we report that the pre-lithiation should be a general treatment which can be employed on many transition-metal di-chalcogenides to improve their storage capacities and charge-discharge performance in Li ion batteries. In addition, we propose that the pre-lithiated VS may serve as an outstanding anode material in LIBs.

Modelling the diffusion-relaxation magnetic resonance (MR) signal obtained from multi-parametric sequences has recently gained immense interest in the community due to new techniques significantly reducing data acquisition time. A preferred approach for examining the diffusion-relaxation MR data is to follow the continuum modelling principle that employs kernels to represent the tissue features, such as the relaxations or diffusion properties. However, constructing reasonable dictionaries with predefined signal components depends on the sampling density of model parameter space, thus leading to a geometrical increase in the number of atoms per extra tissue parameter considered in the model.

Synthetic cathinones (SCs) are drugs of abuse that act on the central nervous system, producing psychoactive effects similar to those of amphetamines. Their greater accessibility compared with the traditional amphetamine-type stimulants has contributed to their increasing popularity in recent years. The analysis of SCs in biological samples is essential for documenting their consumption.

Lung cancer, as one of the cancers with the highest morbidity and mortality rates in the world, requires accurate detection of its vital serum marker, neuron-specific enolase (NSE), which is a key challenge for early detection of lung cancer. However, traditional chemiluminescence immunoassay (CLIA) methods rely on labeled antibodies (Abs) and suffer from complex operations and high costs. In this work, a label-free CLIA based on CL-functionalized mesoporous magnetic nanoparticles (CuFeO@mSiO-Cys-Luminol-Au NPs) is developed for the rapid and sensitive detection of NSE.

A CuFeO/NiCo-LDH heterojunction electrochemical sensor (LDH: layered double hydroxide) was developed for the sensitive detection of tetracycline (TC). The sensor was constructed by integrating ZIF-67-derived nanocage NiCo-LDH on nickel foam with CuFeO, forming a p-n heterojunction that enhanced electron transfer and TC adsorption. The sensor exhibited bilinear detection ranges (0.

Models of memory consolidation propose that newly acquired memory traces undergo reorganisation during sleep. To test this idea, we recorded high-density electroencephalography (EEG) during an evening session of word-image learning followed by immediate (pre-sleep) and delayed (post-sleep) recall. Polysomnography was employed throughout the intervening night, capturing time spent in different sleep stages.
