Article Abstract

Solid-state electrolytes (SSEs) with high ionic conductivity are crucial for the development of high-performance all-solid-state batteries. While a growing number of strategies based on nanoengineering are emerging to enhance the ionic conductivity of SSEs, understanding nanoscale ionic transport remains a nontrivial challenge. In this work, a simple yet effective approach is developed for in situ measuring microscopic ionic velocity in SSEs. Ionic transport under an electric field is directly captured using spatial-temporal scanning Kelvin probe microscopy (SKPM). This method reliably quantifies the microscopic ionic conductivity of SSEs, consistent with the results of macroscopic electrochemical impedance spectra, while providing nanoscale spatial resolution that is essential for comprehending ionic migration in nanostructured systems. The spatial-temporal SKPM, validated on LiZr(PO) and LiZrFe(PO), can be further extended to other SSEs for direct visualization of ionic migration dynamics. This work contributes to the understanding of ionic transport mechanisms and paves the way for advancements in the ionic conductivity of SSEs.

This study quantitatively evaluated the adsorption performance of natural bentonite for removing three dye classes-cationic (Basic dye: BEZACRYL RED GRL), anionic (Reactive dye: AVITERA LIGHT RED SE), and non-ionic (Disperse dye: BEMACRON BLUE HP3R) from synthetic textile wastewater. Batch adsorption experiments were conducted under varying conditions of contact time (15-90 min), adsorbent dosage (20-60 g L⁻), pH (4 and 12), and temperature (25-100 °C), with dye concentrations quantified by UV-Vis spectroscopy. At a contact time of 30 min and room temperature (25 °C), maximum removal efficiencies reached 99.

The internal resistance of axons to ionic current flow determines action potential conduction velocity. Although mitochondria support axonal function, axons have been modeled as organelle-free cables, and mitochondrial impact on conduction velocity, specifically by increasing internal resistance, remains understudied. We combine computational modeling and electron microscopy of forebrain premotor axons controlling birdsong production.

Li-metal batteries promise ultrahigh energy density, but their application is limited by Li-dendrite growth. Theoretically, fluorine-containing anions such as bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide (FSI) in electrolytes can be reduced to form LiF-rich solid-electrolyte interphases (SEIs) with high Young's modulus and ionic conductivity that can suppress dendrites. However, the anions migrate toward the cathode during the charging process, accompanied by a decrease in the concentration of interfacial anions near the anode surface.

Escalating concentrations of norfloxacin (NFX) in surface and wastewaters demand sustainable remediation strategies. In this study, dual-functional hydrochars were synthesized from argan nut shells (ArNS) via hydrothermal carbonization (HTC), with process conditions optimized by varying temperature (150-200 °C) and residence time (2-6 h). Among the materials, H1:5@150-4-prepared at 150 °C for 4 h with a biomass-to-water ratio of 1:5-exhibited the best performance, achieving a monolayer NFX adsorption capacity of 27.

Room temperature ionic liquids show great promise as electrolytes in various technological applications, such as energy storage or electrotunable lubrication. These applications are particularly intriguing due to the specific behavior of ionic liquids in nanoconfinement. While previous research has been focused on optimizing the required characteristics through the selection of electrolyte properties, the contribution of confining material properties in these systems has been largely overlooked.
