Remaining useful life prediction of lithium-ion batteries via spatial attention TLSTM and dilated CNN with evolutionary optimization.

The precise estimation of the Remaining Useful Life (RUL) of lithium-ion batteries is essential for averting unforeseen failures and enhancing operational efficiency and maintenance planning. This paper presents an advanced deep learning framework that couples a spatial-attention mechanism with a Transductive Long Short-Term Memory (TLSTM) model, augmented by one-dimensional dilated convolutional layers to capture long-range temporal dependencies. In contrast to traditional LSTM or GRU models, our methodology utilizes one-dimensional dilated convolutional layers to effectively capture long-range temporal relationships and implements a clustering-based Differential Evolution (DE) strategy for resilient weight initialization and optimization.

Synthesis of nanoscale zero-valent iron by one-pot route and study of its potential in passivating coexistent heavy metal anions and cations in soil.

Nanoscale zero-valent iron (nZVI) was synthesized by a one-pot liquid-phase chemical method in the presence of FeSO as the iron source and NaBH as the reducing agent. The synthesized nZVI was characterized by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, energy dispersive spectrometry, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Its ability to passivate Pb, Cd, and AsO in soils was evaluated by inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectroscopy, and the passivation mechanism was explored based on adsorption thermodynamics and kinetics simulations.

Overcoming ACQ: DPA-modified TICT-type AIEgens for high-resolution and multilevel latent fingerprint visualization.

Latent fingerprints (LFPs), as critical carriers of personal identification information, present a long-standing challenge for high-resolution imaging in forensic science. Aggregation-induced emission luminogens (AIEgens), known for their superior luminescence in aggregated or high-viscosity environments, have emerged as ideal candidates for high-contrast fingerprint visualization. In this study, we designed a series of novel AIEgens by introducing diphenylamine (DPA) donor groups at the 3- and 11-positions of a quinazolinone core, effectively constructing twisted intramolecular charge transfer (TICT) systems.

Design and Characterization of Curcumin-Modified Polyurethane Material with Good Mechanical, Shape-Memory, pH-Responsive, and Biocompatible Properties.

In the context of critical challenges in curcumin-modified polyurethane synthesis-including limited curcumin bioavailability and suboptimal biodegradability/biocompatibility-a novel polyurethane material (Cur-PU) with good mechanical, shape memory, pH-responsive, and biocompatibility was synthesized via a one-pot, two-step synthetic protocol in which HO-PCL-OH served as the soft segment and curcumin was employed as the chain extender. The experimental results demonstrate that with the increase in Cur units, the crystallinity of the Cur-PU material decreases from 32.6% to 5.

Metal-organic framework composites-based molecularly imprinted polymers functionalized with deep eutectic solvent for selective extraction of Salvianolic acid A from Salvia miltiorrhizae Radix.

Efficient and selective enrichment of Salvianolic acid (SAA) from natural herbs is a promising approach with substantial potential for practical applications. Therefore, SiO@UiO-66@DESs@MIPs was synthesized by using in-situ generated MOF particles (SiO@UiO-66) as the carrier and incorporating deep eutectic solvents (DESs) with good water compatibility as functional monomer. The poly-DESs imprinting layer with rich active sites is uniformly encapsulated onto SiO@UiO-66, facilitating the generation of imprinting sites exclusively on the external surface of SiO@UiO-66@DESs@MIPs, which is conducive to the specific recognition of SAA.

Design and Characterization of Ring-Curve Fractal-Maze Acoustic Metamaterials for Deep-Subwavelength Broadband Sound Insulation.

Addressing the challenges of bulky, low-efficiency sound-insulation materials at low frequencies, this work proposes an acoustic metamaterial based on curve fractal channels. Each unit cell comprises a concentric circular-ring channel recursively iterated: as the fractal order increases, the channel path length grows exponentially, enabling outstanding sound-insulation performance within a deep-subwavelength thickness. Finite-element and transfer-matrix analyses show that increasing the fractal order from one to three raises the number of bandgaps from three to five and expands total stop-band coverage from 17% to over 40% within a deep-subwavelength thickness.

It is of great importance and worth making efforts to shed light on the structure-property relationship and microscopic mechanism of thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) emitters with high quantum yield by high-precision theoretical investigation.
