Times Cited Count：0The cycling fatigue and barocaloric response of NH
I is directly assessed under loading--unloading cycles with stress up to 100,MPa, with the adiabatic temperature change (
) decaying from 15,K to approximately 0.8,K after 100 cycles. 
X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, and neutron diffraction concertedly reveal the existence of the residual high-pressure phase even after the first unloading, whose fraction is rapidly increased to 90% at the 100th cycle. A phenomenological model is developed to elucidate this fatigue behavior, and an excellent agreement with experimental data has been achieved. To relieve the intergranular stress and enhance the mobility of grains, we encapsulate the composite of NHI particles and silicone oil into a 3D-printed polymer shell. Such an architectural tailoring has markedly improved the cyclic stability of the barocaloric effect with rising to c.a. 4.6,K after 100 cycles. Our results establish a fundamental understanding of the barocaloric fatigue behavior and pave a feasible route to applicable barocaloric cooling technology.

Times Cited Count：0We systematically investigated the high-pressure polymerization of naphthalene, the simplest polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), using multiple cutting-edge methods. Naphthalene molecules were stacked in herringbone style, and underwent [4+2] cycloaddition reactions along the a-b direction above 20 GPa, yielding one-dimensional Carbon nanothreads (CNThs). In contrast to the formation of many CNThs, the nucleation of the CNThs occurs during compression while their growth proceeds during decompression, which is likely prevalent among herringbone-stacked aromatics. The unit cell of the obtained CNTh crystal is determined and the possible structure of the CNTh product is also proposed. Our research reveals the polymerization characteristics of naphthalene under high pressure, highlighting the fact that the slip-angle plays an important role in governing the polymerization pathway.

Times Cited Count：1 Percentile：0.00(Chemistry, Multidisciplinary)Mechanochemical radical polymerization has unique advantages in the synthesis of polymer due to its reduced solvent consumption and adaptability of insoluble monomers. However, it suffers from the uncontrollable degradation of the formed polymers during reaction and new synthetic strategy with precise controllability needs to be developed. Here, by employing high static pressure up to 30 GPa, we found 1,3,5-trifluorobenzene undergoes radical polymerization by breaking the conjugated 
-bonds, and forms a carbon nanothread with high selectivity (Polymer-I polymorph). Based on the crystal structure at the threshold pressure and the calculated energy barriers for the bonding pathway, we concluded that the benzene-rings react via a 1-2 radical polymerization pathway. Our work highlights high pressure is a robust method to initiate the solid-state radical polymerization, even for very stable aromatics, and offers fresh insights for the synthesis of polymeric carbon-based materials with high selectivity.

Times Cited Count：6 Percentile：80.06(Multidisciplinary Sciences)Caloric effects usually occur in the vicinity of solid-state phase transitions with a limited refrigeration temperature span. Here, we introduce and realize an unprecedented concept -all temperature barocaloric effect, i.e., a remarkable barocaloric effect in KPF
across an exceptionally wide temperature span, from 77.5 to 300 K and potentially down to 4 K, covering typical room temperature, liquid nitrogen, liquid hydrogen, and liquid helium refrigeration regions. The directly measured barocaloric adiabatic temperature change reaches 12 K at room temperature and 2.5 K at 77.5 K upon the release of a 250 MPa pressure. This effect is attributed to a persistent phase transition to a rhombohedral high pressure phases. We depict the thermodynamic energy landscape to account for the structural instability. This unique all-temperature barocaloric effect presents a novel approach to highly applicable solid-state refrigeration technology, transcending the conventional multi-stage scenario.

Times Cited Count：1 Percentile：32.62(Chemistry, Multidisciplinary)We synthesized a crystalline graphane nanoribbon (GANR) via pressure-induced polymerization of 2,2'-bipyrazine (BPZ). By performing Rietveld refinement of in situ neutron diffraction data, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, infrared spectra, and theoretical calculation, we found that BPZ experienced Diels-Alder polymerization between the 
stacked aromatic rings, and formed extended boat-GANR structures with exceptional long-range order. The unreacted -C=N- groups bridge the two ends of the boat, and ready for further functionalization. The GANR has a bandgap of 2.25 eV, with booming photoelectric response (
/
=18.8). Our work highlights that the high-pressure topochemical polymerization is a promising method for the precise synthesis of graphane with specific structure and desired properties.

This study quantitatively investigates eccrine sweat as a significant channel for loss of amino acids during exercise, to improve an understanding of amino acid turnover and to provide feedback to users on the need for supplement intake. The measurement platform consists of a soft, skin-interfaced microfluidic system for real-time analysis of amino acid content in eccrine sweat. This system relies on integrated fluorometric assays and smartphone-based imaging techniques for quantitative analysis.
