Abstract
ZnSO4-based electrolytes for aqueous zinc ion batteries fail to meet practical application metrics due to hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and dendrite growth. In this work, a highly polarized eutectic additive, glycerophosphorylcholine (GPC) is rationally designed, to regulate the electric double layer (EDL) structure for stable Zn anodes with a high depth of discharge (DOD). On one hand, GPC molecules with abundant hydroxyl groups can precisely regulate the hydrogen bond network in EDL to suppress HER. On the other hand, the enrichment of GPC at the interface is positively responsible for the negative charge density on the Zn surface, which leads to the formation of a robust ZnxPyOz-rich solid-electrolyte interphase and terminates dendrite growth in the charge-rich sites. This EDL-oriented eutectic additive engineering enables highly reversible and selectively (002)-textured Zn anodes to operate for over 1450 h at a high DOD of 45.3%. Meanwhile, a high-capacity (185.7 mAh g-1) aqueous Zn||VS2 full cell shows remarkable cycling stability over 220 cycles with an excellent capacity retention of 90.4% even at a low current density of 0.1 A g-1 (0.5 C). This work sheds light on electrolyte design and interface engineering for high-performance aqueous batteries.

Mid-Infrared Spectroscopic Study of Cultivating Medicinal Fungi Ganoderma: Composition, Development, and Strain Variability of Basidiocarps. J Fungi (Basel) 2023; 10:23.

Abstract
Attenuated total reflection Fourier-transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectroscopy was proposed for rapid, versatile, and non-invasive screening of Ganoderma basidiocarps to assess their potential for specific applications. Fifteen species and strains of this fungus were selected for analysis, and fine sections at different parts of young and mature basidiocarps were obtained. The spectra of fungal samples showed significant differences interpreted in terms of biochemical composition using characteristic bands of proteins, polysaccharides, lipids, and triterpenoids. Obviously, for the transverse sections in trama, especially in the basal part, the most intense bands at 950-1200 cm-1 corresponded to polysaccharide vibrations, while for the superficial sections, the bands of carbonyl and aliphatic groups of triterpenoids at 1310-1470, 1550-1740, and 2850-2980 cm-1 predominated. The pilei, especially hymenium tubes, apparently contained more proteins than the bases and stipes, as evidenced by the intense bands of amide vibrations at 1648 and 1545-1550 cm-1. The specificity of the Ganoderma basidiocarp is a densely pigmented surface layer rich in triterpenoids, as proved by ATR-FTIR spectroscopy. The spectral differences corresponding to the specificity of the triterpenoid composition may indicate the prospects of individual strains and species of this genus for cultivation and further use in food, cosmetics, or medicine.

Abstract
To investigate changes in the physical and chemical properties of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) upon the rapid release of hydrogen gas at a pressure of 90 MPa, several characterization techniques have been employed, including optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, differential scanning thermal analysis, and attenuated total reflectance Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy. The results showed that both physical and chemical changes occurred in HDPE upon a rapid release of hydrogen gas. Physically, a partial hexagonal phase was formed within the amorphous region, and the overall crystallinity of HDPE decreased. Chemically, hydrogenation occurred, leading to the addition of hydrogen atoms to the polymer chains. Oxidation also occurred, for example, the formation of ester -C=O groups. Crosslinking and an increase in -CH3 end termination were also observed. These changes suggest that structural transformation and chemical modification of HDPE occurred upon the rapid release of hydrogen gas.

Abstract
Bombyx mori silk with a nanoscale porous architecture significantly deforms in response to changes in relative humidity. Despite the increasing amount of water adsorption and water-responsive strain with increasing porosity of the silk, there is a range of porosities that result in silk's optimal water-responsive energy density at 3.1 MJ m-3. Our findings show the possibility of controlling water-responsive materials' swelling pressure by controlling their nanoporosities.

Historical Silk: A Novel Method to Evaluate Degumming with Non-Invasive Infrared Spectroscopy and Spectral Deconvolution. MATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 16:ma16051819. [PMID: 36902936 PMCID: PMC10003773 DOI: 10.3390/ma16051819] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/31/2022] [Revised: 02/02/2023] [Accepted: 02/20/2023] [Indexed: 05/31/2023]
Abstract
To correctly manage a collection of historical silks, it is important to detect if the yarn has been originally subjected to degumming. This process is generally applied to eliminate sericin; the obtained fiber is named soft silk, in contrast with hard silk which is unprocessed. The distinction between hard and soft silk gives both historical information and useful indications for informed conservation. With this aim, 32 samples of silk textiles from traditional Japanese samurai armors (15th-20th century) were characterized in a non-invasive way. ATR-FTIR spectroscopy has been previously used to detect hard silk, but data interpretation is challenging. To overcome this difficulty, an innovative analytical protocol based on external reflection FTIR (ER-FTIR) spectroscopy was employed, coupled with spectral deconvolution and multivariate data analysis. The ER-FTIR technique is rapid, portable, and widely employed in the cultural heritage field, but rarely applied to the study of textiles. The ER-FTIR band assignment for silk was discussed for the first time. Then, the evaluation of the OH stretching signals allowed for a reliable distinction between hard and soft silk. Such an innovative point of view, which exploits a "weakness" of FTIR spectroscopy-the strong absorption from water molecules-to indirectly obtain the results, can have industrial applications too.

Abstract
Terahertz spectroscopy allows for the analysis of vibrations corresponding to the large-scale structural movements and collective dynamics of hydrogen-bonded water molecules. Previously, differences had been detected in the emission spectra of interferon-gamma (IFNγ) solutions surrounded by extremely diluted solutions of either IFNγ or antibodies to IFNγ without direct contact compared to a control. Here we aimed to analyse the structural properties of water in a sample of an aqueous solution of IFNγ via terahertz time-domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS). Tubes with the IFNγ solution were immersed in fluidised lactose saturated with test samples (dilutions of antibodies to IFNγ or control) and incubated at 37 °C for 1, 1.5-2, 2.5-3, or 3.5-4 h. Fluidised lactose was chosen since it is an excipient in the manufacture of drugs based on diluted antibodies to IFNγ. After incubation, spectra were recorded within a wavenumber range of 10 to 110 cm-1 with a resolution of 4 cm-1. Lactose saturated with dilutions of antibodies to IFNγ (incubated for more than 2.5 h) changed the structural properties of an IFNγ aqueous solution without direct contact compared to the control. Terahertz spectra revealed stronger intermolecular hydrogen bonds and an increase in the relaxation time of free and weakly bound water molecules. The methodology developed on the basis of THz-TDS could potentially be applied to quality control of pharmaceuticals based on extremely diluted antibodies.

Abstract
We present a novel spectroscopy accessory that can easily convert any Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrometer into a fully automated mapping and assaying system. The accessory uses a multiridge attenuated total reflection (ATR) wafer as the sensing element coupled with a moving aperture that is used to select the regions of interest on the wafer. In this demonstration, the accessory is combined with a series of parallel micropatterned channels, which are positioned co-linear with the light-coupling ridges on the opposite side of the ATR wafer. The ATR spectroscopy microfluidic assay accessory (ASMAA) was used in continuous mapping mode to scan perpendicular to the ATR ridges, revealing complex but repeatable oscillations in the spectral intensities. To understand this behavior, the light path through the optical components was simulated with consideration of the aperture position, ridge-to-channel alignment, and excitation beam profile. With this approach, the simulation reproduced the experimental mapping results and provided evidence that the measurement position and area changed with the aperture position. To demonstrate the assay mode, we obtained spectra along the centerline of individual microchannels and determined noise baselines and limits of detection.

Abstract
Tropospheric aerosols are usually complex mixtures of inorganic and organic components, which show non-ideal behavior in hygroscopicity, mass transfer, and partitioning between gas and aerosols. In this study, we applied a novel approach based on a combination of a pulse RH controlling system and a rapid scan vacuum FTIR spectrometer to investigate the mass transfer limit of magnesium sulfate/glutaric acid (GA) mixture aerosol particles. The liquid water band area of the aerosols is used to reveal the mass transfer limit during the rapid pulse RH downward and upward processes. Partitioning equilibrium between the aerosol particles and water gas phase is observed at the higher RH range (73-50%). When the RH is lower than 40%, there is a hysteresis for the liquid water content changing with the RH, indicating the limited water mass transfer in the aerosols.

Abstract
The large amounts of natural gas in a dense solid phase stored in the confined environment of porous materials have become a new, potential method for storing and transporting natural gas. However, there is no experimental evidence to accurately determine the phase state of water during nanoscale gas hydrate dissociation. The results on the dissociation behavior of methane hydrates confined in a nanosilica gel and the contained water phase state during hydrate dissociation at temperatures below the ice point and under atmospheric pressure are presented. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) were used to trace the dissociation of confined methane hydrate synthesized from pore water confined inside the nanosilica gel. The characterization of the confined methane hydrate was also analyzed by PXRD. It was found that the confined methane hydrates dissociated into ultra viscous low-density liquid water (LDL) and methane gas. The results showed that the mechanism of confined methane hydrate dissociation at temperatures below the ice point depended on the phase state of water during hydrate dissociation.

Abstract
Confined and interstitial water has a key role in several chemical, physical and biological processes. It is remarkable that many aspects of water behavior in this regime (e.g., chemical reactivity) remain obscure and unaddressed. In particular for gold surfaces, results from simulations indicated that the first wetting layer would present hydrophilic behavior in contrast to the overall hydrophobic character of the bulk water on this surface. In the present work we investigate the properties of confined water on Au 〈111〉 nanochannels. Our findings, based on a large set of morphological, structural and spectroscopic experimental data and ab initio computer simulations, strongly support the hypothesis of hydrophilicity of the first wetting layer of the Au 〈111〉 surface. A unique oxidation process was also observed in the nanochannels driven by confined water. Our findings indicated that the oxidation product is Au(OH)3. Therefore, the Au surface reactivity against confined water needs to be considered for nanoscopic applications such as, e.g., catalysis in fine chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and the food industry green processes. We investigate the properties of confined water on Au 〈111〉 nanochannels. We report an unique oxidation process was also observed in the nanochannels driven by first wetting layer of the surface.![]()

Abstract
The local structure of water on chemically and structurally different surfaces is a subject of ongoing research. In particular, confined spaces as found in mesoporous silica have a pronounced effect on the interplay between the adsorbate-adsorbate and adsorbate-surface interactions. Mid-infrared spectroscopy is ideally suited to quantitatively and qualitatively study such systems as the probed molecular vibrations are highly sensitive to intermolecular interactions. Here, the quantity and structure of water adsorbed from the gas phase into silica mesopores at different water vapor pressures was monitored using mid-infrared attenuated total reflection (ATR) spectroscopy. Germanium ATR crystals were coated with different mesoporous silica films prepared by evaporation-induced self-assembly. Quantitative analysis of the water bending vibration at 1640 cm-1 at varying vapor pressure allows for retrieving porosity and pore size distribution of the mesoporous films. The results were in excellent agreement with those obtained from ellipsometric porosimetry. In addition, different degrees of hydrogen bonding of water as reflected in the band position and shape of the stretching vibrations (3000-3800 cm-1) were analyzed and attributed to high-density, unordered bulk, low-density, and surface-induced ordered water. Thereby, the progression of surface-induced ordered water and bulk water as a function of water vapor pressure was studied for different pore sizes. Small pores of 5 nm diameter showed a number of two-ordered monolayers, whereas for pores >12 nm diameter, the number of ordered monolayers is significantly larger and agrees with the number observed on planar SiO2 surfaces.

Abstract
The main goal of this paper is to explore the radiative cooling and solar heating potential of several materials for the built environment, based on their spectrally-selective properties. A material for solar heating, should have high spectral emissivity/absorptivity in the solar radiation band (within the wavelength range of 0.2–2 μm), and low emissivity/absorptivity at longer wavelengths. Radiative cooling applications require high spectral emissivity/absorptivity, within the atmospheric window band (8–13 μm), and a low emissivity/absorptivity in other bands. UV-Vis spectrophotometer and FTIR spectroscopy, are used to measure, the spectral absorption/emission spectra of six different types of materials. To evaluate the radiative cooling potential of the samples, the power of cooling is calculated. Heat transfer through most materials is not just a surface phenomenon, but it also needs a volumetric analysis. Therefore, a coupled radiation and conduction heat transfer analysis is used. Results are discussed for the selection of the best materials, for different applications on building surfaces.
