Anode-less Zn metal batteries (ALZMBs) enhance energy density but require ultrahigh Coulombic efficiency for stability, which is hindered by side reactions and dendrite growth. A uniform Zn stripping process is essential for improving Coulombic efficiency, but the impact of separator design on Zn stripping remains unexplored. Herein, we propose a novel strategy to achieve the high reversibility of Zn plating and stripping by modifying the glass fiber (GF) separator with hydrated titanic acid (HTO), forming an HTO@GF separator. Experimental and theoretical calculations indicate that highly electronegative oxygen in HTO promotes electron loss from Zn metal and converts it into Zn, thereby modulating the Zn stripping process. The HTO exhibits strong water adsorption capability, facilitating Zn desolvation, while its layered architecture provides abundant diffusion pathways for Zn. Consequently, Zn||Cu cells maintain 99.78% CE over 1500 cycles, and anode-less Cu||NaVO·1.5HO full cells operate for 800 cycles when using the HTO@GF separator.

Objectives: Although lung cancer in never smokers (LCNSs) accounts for an estimated 25% of all lung cancer cases, the temporal trends in LCNS incidence and its broader epidemiological patterns remain poorly understood. Our study examines the temporal trends in LCNS incidence and analyses key epidemiological characteristics, specifically, the trends in mortality rates, survival rates and changes in age at onset to illuminate the reasons for temporal trends in LCNS incidence.
Design: Retrospective population-based cohort study.

In this study, a novel carbon dots-based system was developed for the sequential quantification of Au and L-cysteine (L-Cys). The system comprises N,F-doped carbon dots (N,F-CDs), a custom-designed miniaturized fluorimeter, and test strips. The N,F-CDs exhibit outstanding optical properties, including a large Stokes shift (127 nm) and high fluorescence intensity.

Understanding the motives behind femicides is crucial to design effective prevention strategies and to support women's self-determination, free from threats to their mental and physical integrity. We conducted a retrospective, multicenter forensic study involving 27 Italian Institutes of Legal Medicine, analyzing 1238 female homicides (1950-2023). Cases were classified as femicide or non-femicide female homicide according to the medico-legal definition of femicide as the murder due to the failure to recognize women's right to self-determination.

The increasing production of lithium ion batteries (LIBs) necessitates the development of green and sustainable technologies for their recycling. Unfortunately, most of the recycling technologies used are always associated with high energy and chemical reagents consumption, posing a great risk to the environment. Herein, we propose a photovoltaic driven carrier-facilitated electrodialytic membrane process for low carbon recovery of spent ternary LIBs.

We present a coordination-inspired strategy for assembling binary nanocrystal superlattices (BNSLs) using CdSe nanotetrapods as symmetry-encoding building blocks. Exploiting their intrinsic tetrahedral geometry, which mimics the sp hybridization of carbon atoms in a diamond lattice, we encode spatially defined binding sites that guide regioselective coassembly with spherical nanocrystals. By tuning the size ratio between components, we achieve both three-dimensional and two-dimensional BNSLs with long-range structural order.
