Article Abstract
Three cationic polyelectrolytes polyethyleneimine ethoxylate (PEIE)-1,4-butanediol dimethylsulfonate (MSB), PEIE-1,4-butanediol diethylsulfonate (ESB), and PEIE-1,4-butanediol dibenzylsulfonate (BSB), containing methylsulfonate, ethylsulfonate, and benzylsulfonate, respectively, were prepared for cathode interface layers (CILs) via a one-step reaction with 1,4-butanediol dialkylsulfonate and PEIE as the reactants. The results indicate that PEIE-MSB and PEIE-ESB with smaller counterions possess more efficient electron extraction, higher electron mobilities, and better photovoltaic performance than PEIE-BSB with larger counterions. The PTB7-Th:PCBM-based single junction bulk heterojunction polymer solar cells (PSCs) with PEIE-ESB as the CIL showed power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) of 10.44 and 9.23% under the thickness conditions of 8 and 30 nm, respectively. The PM6:Y6-based PSCs displayed a high PCE of 15.69%. The study provides not only new high-performance CILs but also a new strategy to construct light-soaking-free PSCs via tuning alkylsulfonate counterions.

The function of osteoporosis-induced bone marrow adipocyte (BMAds) accumulation remains inadequately understood. Here, we analyze bone marrow lipidomic data and reveal that BMAds deteriorate the skeletal microenvironment by secreting large amounts of lipids, altering the senescence status of neighboring cells by affecting their mitochondrial function. To specifically target BMAds under osteoporotic conditions, we design a polycation-loaded biomimetic dual-site framework (CZP@LC) that interferes with lipid crosstalk between BMAds and neighboring bone marrow cells.

Rechargeable aqueous zinc-iodine batteries (ZIBs) hold significant promise for energy storage. Their advancement, however, faces critical challenges: soluble polyiodide shuttling and rampant Zn dendrite growth. This work introduces a polyampholyte bacterial cellulose hydrogel electrolyte (SBC) engineered to overcome these limitations.

Cellulose particles of 200-250 nm size, stable for 18 days in a water-salt medium, are proposed as a model of biodegradable microplastics. The particles are characterized by means of dynamic light scattering, laser microelectrophoresis, differential scanning calorimetry, thermogravimetry (TG) and IR spectroscopy. The complexation of cellulose particles with toxicants - cationic polymers (kaustamin, poly-l-lysine hydrobromide and poly(N-ethyl-4-vinylpyridinium) bromide), as well as the composition of the resulting complexes and their ability to dissociate into the initial components in water-salt media is discussed.

Antimicrobial resistance is a global health crisis, necessitating novel antibacterial strategies. Polycations, particularly polyester dendrimers, are promising due to their structural precision and membrane-disruptive mechanisms. However, existing dendrimers lack versatility in charge distribution, limiting their antibacterial efficacy.

Polycationic gene vectors have been studied extensively for gene delivery, and the charge density of polycations plays a pivotal role in condensing nucleic acids. Recently, we have synthesized two kinds of polycations with varied charge densities: poly(2-(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate) (denoted as A100) and a copolymer of 2-(tetramethyleneimino)ethyl methacrylate and 2-(diisopropyl-amino)ethyl methacrylate with a 3:1 feed ratio (denoted as B75D25). Despite its lower charge density, B75D25-based vectors exhibit higher transfection efficiency than A100-based vectors, prompting the hypothesis that hydrophobic interactions, rather than solely high charge density, enhance DNA complexation and gene delivery.
