Phthalate levels in Chinese residences: Seasonal and regional variations and the implication on human exposure

National Science Open, 2023
Indoor pollution of manmade semivolatile organic compounds (SVOCs) such as phthalates are a growing threat to human health. Herein we summarize the dust-phase phthalate concentrations in Chinese residences reported from 2011 to 2021 and simulate ...

Programmable 3D Photovoltaics via Mechanically Origami‐Coded Interlocked 3D Kirigami and Nano‐Root Anchored AgNWs–In–Ga Multiphasic Alloy Conductor

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Mechanically origami‐coded 3D kirigami photovoltaics convert a single extension–release cycle into deterministic self‐folding, reconfiguring planar solar cells into programmable 3D modules. Distinct coding strategies enable either ultrahigh stretchability (500% system strain) or ultrahigh initial effective areal coverage (225%).

Methanol‐Ethanol Discrimination and Selective Sensing Enabled by Molecular Sieving in Conductive MOFs

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Selective methanol sensors are achieved by coating carbon nanotube chemiresistors with two dimensional conductive metal–organic frameworks that incorporate intra‐pore clusters. These confined clusters increase the density of adsorption sites while restricting the transport of larger interfering molecules, particularly ethanol. This sensing architecture

Parallel Electrical Integration of Photo Bio Electrochemical Systems (photo‐BESs): Performance Gains and Load Dependency

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Parallel wiring of bioelectrochemical devices with conventional generators unexpectedly boosts output. A biophotovoltaic paired with a solar cell delivers up to 50% more power at low loads than their separate contributions; a plant microbial fuel cell shows similar current gains.
