921S1.882Eu2+. The decay curve measurement, using time-resolved spectroscopy, yielded a 10% decay time of 0.41 μs, which is much smaller compared with the decay time of the commercially available β-SIALON phosphor that has a 10% decay time of 1.71 μs. The white pc-LED, fabricated with a cyan phosphor, had a higher value on the color rendering index and a lower value for color correlated temperatures, as compared with the version fabricated without a cyan phosphor, which makes this novel phosphor suitable for applications as a pc-wLED.The proliferation of energy-efficient light-emitting diode (LED) lighting has resulted in continued exposure to blue light, which has been linked to cataract formation, circadian disruption, and mood disorders. Blue light can be readily minimized in pursuit of "human-centric" lighting using a violet LED chip (λem ≈ 405 nm) downconverted by red, green, and blue-emitting phosphors. However, few phosphors efficiently convert violet light to blue light. This work reports a new phosphor that meets this demand. Na2MgPO4FEu2+ can be excited by a violet LED yielding an efficient, bright blue emission. The material also shows zero thermal quenching and has outstanding chromatic stability. HygromycinB The chemical robustness of the phosphor was also confirmed through prolonged exposure to water and high temperatures. A prototype device using a 405 nm LED, Na2MgPO4FEu2+, and a green and red-emitting phosphor produces a warm white light with a higher color rendering index than a commercially purchased LED light bulb while significantly reducing the blue component. These results demonstrate the capability of Na2MgPO4FEu2+ as a next-generation phosphor capable of advancing human-centric lighting.With the surging development of flexible wearable and stretchable electronic devices, flexible energy-storage devices with excellent electrochemical properties are in great demand. Herein, a flexible Zn-ion battery comprised by hydrated zinc vanadium oxide/carbon cloth (ZnVOH/CC) as the cathode is developed, and it shows a high energy density, superior lifespan, and good safety. ZnVOH/CC is obtained by the in situ transformation of hydrated vanadium oxide/carbon cloth (VOH/CC) by an electrochemical method, and the intercalation pseudocapacitive reaction mechanism is discovered for ZnVOH/CC. The co-insertion/deinsertion of H+/Zn2+ is observed; the H+ insertion dominates in the initial discharge stage and the high-rate electrochemical process, while Zn2+ insertion dominates the following discharge stage and the low-rate electrochemical procedure. An ultrastable reversible capacity of 135 mAh g-1 at 20 A g-1 is obtained after 5000 cycles without capacity fading. Moreover, the as-assembled flexible zinc-ion battery can operate normally under rolled, folded, and punched conditions with superior safety. It is capable to deliver a high discharge capacity of 184 mAh g-1 at 10 A g-1 after 170 cycles. This work paves a new way for designing low-cost, safe, and quick-charging energy-storage devices for flexible electronics.Mechanically strong separators with good electrolyte wettability and low-shrinkage properties are desirable for highly efficient and safe lithium batteries. In this study, multifunctional nanofiber membranes are fabricated by electrospinning a homogeneous solution containing amphiphilic poly(ethylene glycol)diacrylate-grafted siloxane and polyacrylonitrile. After the chemical cross-linking of siloxane, the prepared nanofiber membranes are found to exhibit good mechanical properties, high thermostability, and superior electrolyte-philicity with aqueous and nonaqueous electrolytes. Li-metal cells with the fabricated membrane separator exhibit high cycling stability (Coulombic efficiency of 99.8% after 1000 cycles). Moreover, improved cycling stability of Li-sulfur batteries can be achieved using these membrane separators. These membrane separators can be further used in flexible aqueous lithium-ion batteries and exhibit steady electrochemistry performance. This work opens up a potential route for designing multifunctional universal separators for rechargeable batteries.Tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) is widely used to identify unknown ions in untargeted metabolomics. Data-dependent acquisition (DDA) chooses which ions to fragment based upon intensities observed in MS1 survey scans and typically only fragments a small subset of the ions present. Despite this inefficiency, relatively little work has addressed the development of new DDA methods, partly due to the high overhead associated with running the many extracts necessary to optimize approaches in busy MS facilities. In this work, we first provide theoretical results that show how much improvement is possible over current DDA strategies. We then describe an in silico framework for fast and cost-efficient development of new DDA strategies using a previously developed virtual metabolomics mass spectrometer (ViMMS). Additional functionality is added to ViMMS to allow methods to be used both in simulation and on real samples via an Instrument Application Programming Interface (IAPI). We demonstrate this framework through the development and optimization of two new DDA methods that introduce new advanced ion prioritization strategies. Upon application of these developed methods to two complex metabolite mixtures, our results show that they are able to fragment more unique ions than standard DDA strategies.Graphene oxide (GO) has been widely used as an additive of polyacrylonitrile (PAN)-based carbon nanofibers (CNFs) to optimize its crystal structure and improve the mechanical performances of nanofibers. However, the homogeneous dispersion of GO nanosheets among entangled PAN molecular chains is always challenging, and the poor dispersion of GO severely limits its positive effects on both the structure and performances of CNFs. Considering this issue, this paper provides for the first time an effective solution to achieve rapid and uniform introduction of GO in PAN-based nanofibers via in situ polymerization, and the optimization of the nanofiber structure by GO is systematically studied in three consecutive stages (polymerization, electrospinning, and carbonization) of the production process. During in situ polymerization, PAN is tightly attached on GO nanosheets to form PAN/GO nanocomposites, and this interaction is maintained throughout the spinning process. Not only the arrangement of PAN molecular chains but also the crystal size of the final turbostratic structure of CNFs is considerably improved by the interaction between PAN and GO.
