Article Abstract
Prussian blue analogues (PBAs) are promising cathode materials for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) due to their tunable chemistry, open channel structure, and low cost. However, excessive crystal water and volume expansion can negatively impact the lifetime of actual SIBs. In this study, a novel iron nitroprusside: Fe[Fe(CN) NO] (PBN) was synthesized to effectively eliminate the detrimental effects of crystal water on the reversible capacity and cycling stability of PBA materials. Experiments and DFT calculations demonstrated that PBN has lower crystal water and volume expansion compared to Fe[Fe(CN) ] (PB). Also, the N=O bond in PBN significantly reduces the diffusion potential of Na in the skeleton. Without any modification, the cathode material exhibited a capacity of up to 148.6 mAh g at 50 mA g as well as maintained 102.9 mAh g after 200 cycles. This work expands our knowledge of the crystal structure of PBA cathode materials and facilitates the rational design of high-quality PBA cathodes for SIBs.

Global water scarcity demands next-generation desalination technologies that transcend the limitations of energy-intensive processes and salt accumulation. Herein, a groundbreaking interfacial solar steam generation system capable of simultaneous hypersaline desalination and ambient energy harvesting is introduced. Through hierarchical hydrogel architecture incorporating a central vertical channel and radial channels with gradient apertures, the design effectively decouples salt transport and water evaporation: solar-driven fluid convection directs water outward for evaporation, while inward salt migration prevents surface crystallization and redistributes excess heat.

Cyclic peptides (CPs) are versatile building blocks whose conformational constraints foster ordered supramolecular architectures with potential in biomedicine, nanoelectronics, and catalysis. Herein, we report the development of biomimetic antifreeze materials by conjugating CPs bearing ice-binding residues to 4-arm polyethylene glycol (PEG) via click chemistry. The concentration-dependent self-assembly of these CP-PEG conjugates induces programmable morphological transitions, forming nanotube networks above the critical aggregation concentration (CAC) and two-dimensional nanosheet networks near the CAC.

With the continuous development of flexible sensors and flexible energy storage devices, gel materials with good flexibility, toughness, and tunable properties have attracted wide attention. Deep eutectic solvents (DES) have an obvious advantage of thermal and chemical stability over water. Therefore, eutectogels can effectively solve the problem of insufficient stability of traditional hydrogels.

In recent years, amino acids have garnered extensive attention as environmentally friendly, small-dose additives for modulating hydrate formation and aggregation behavior. Amino acids, due to their amphiphilic nature, can adsorb at the gas-liquid interface and on hydrate crystal surfaces, thereby modifying interfacial properties and influencing crystal growth patterns. In our measurements, the amino acids displayed a concentration-dependent "double effect".

The formation and recrystallization of ice crystals during freezing causes irreversible structural damage to the dough matrix, which is characterized by the cold denaturation of the gluten protein structure and the degradation of the gluten network structure. Polysaccharides are widely used to improve the quality of frozen dough owing to their excellent water-holding and viscosity. Current research has shown that polysaccharides mitigate the physical damage of ice crystals on the gluten protein structure mainly by modifying the water status of frozen dough to inhibit the ice crystallization process.
