A dual-selective thermal emitter with enhanced subambient radiative cooling performance. Nat Commun 2024; 15:815. [PMID: 38280849 PMCID: PMC10821923 DOI: 10.1038/s41467-024-45095-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/30/2023] [Accepted: 01/15/2024] [Indexed: 01/29/2024] Open
Abstract
Radiative cooling is a zero-energy technology that enables subambient cooling by emitting heat into outer space (~3 K) through the atmospheric transparent windows. However, existing designs typically focus only on the main atmospheric transparent window (8-13 μm) and ignore another window (16-25 μm), under-exploiting their cooling potential. Here, we show a dual-selective radiative cooling design based on a scalable thermal emitter, which exhibits selective emission in both atmospheric transparent windows and reflection in the remaining mid-infrared and solar wavebands. As a result, the dual-selective thermal emitter exhibits an ultrahigh subambient cooling capacity (~9 °C) under strong sunlight, surpassing existing typical thermal emitters (≥3 °C cooler) and commercial counterparts (as building materials). Furthermore, the dual-selective sample also exhibits high weather resistance and color compatibility, indicating a high practicality. This work provides a scalable and practical radiative cooling design for sustainable thermal management.

Abstract
Rapid industrialization is accompanied by the deterioration of the natural environment. The deepening crisis associated with the ecological environment has garnered widespread attention toward strengthening environmental monitoring and protection. Environmental sensors are one of the key technologies for environmental monitoring, ultimately enabling environmental protection. In recent decades, micro/nanomaterials have been widely studied and applied in environmental sensing owing to their unique dimensional properties. Electrospinning has been developed and adopted as a facile, quick, and effective technology to produce continuous micro- and nanofiber materials. The technology has advanced rapidly and become one of the hotspots in the field of nanomaterials research. Environmental sensors made from electrospun nanofibers possess many advantages, such as having a porous structure and high specific surface area, which effectively improve their performance in environmental sensing. Furthermore, by introducing functional nanomaterials (carbon nanotubes, metal oxides, conjugated polymers, etc.) into electrospun fibers, synergistic effects between different materials can be utilized to improve the catalytic activity and sensitivity of the sensors. In this review, we aimed to outline the progress of research over the past decade on electrospinning nanofibers with different morphologies and functional characteristics in environmental sensors.

Abstract
Mechanical properties are among the key considerations for the design and fabrication of complex tissue models and implants. In addition to the choice of material and the processing technique, the solvent system can significantly influence the mechanical properties of scaffolds. Poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) has been abundantly used to develop constructs, fibrous in particular, for pharmaceutical and biomedical research due to the flexibility offered by PCL-based fibrous matrices. The effect of solvent type on the morphological features of electrospun fibres has been extensively studied. Nevertheless, comprehensive studies on the impact of the solvent system on the mechanical properties of electrospun PCL fibres are lacking. This study elucidates the relationship between topographical, physical and mechanical properties of electrospun PCL fibrous meshes upon using various solvent systems. The results of the mechanical investigation highlight the significance of inter-fibre bonds on the mechanical properties of the bulk membranes and that the option of altering the solvent system composition could be considered for tuning the mechanical properties of the PCL scaffolds to serve specific biomedical application requirements. The applicability of the developed membranes as artificial ECM (Extracellular matrix) in the lung will then be investigated and compared to the commercial Polycarbonate (PC) membranes that are often used for in vitro lung models.

Abstract
Polymer-ceramic piezoelectric composites, combining high piezoelectricity and mechanical flexibility, have attracted increasing interest in both academia and industry. However, their piezoelectric activity is largely limited by intrinsically low crystallinity and weak spontaneous polarization. Here, we propose a Ti3C2Tx MXene anchoring method to manipulate the intermolecular interactions within the all-trans conformation of a polymer matrix. Employing phase-field simulation and molecular dynamics calculations, we show that OH surface terminations on the Ti3C2Tx nanosheets offer hydrogen bonding with the fluoropolymer matrix, leading to dipole alignment and enhanced net spontaneous polarization of the polymer-ceramic composites. We then translated this interfacial bonding strategy into electrospinning to boost the piezoelectric response of samarium doped Pb (Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3-PbTiO3/polyvinylidene fluoride composite nanofibers by 160% via Ti3C2Tx nanosheets inclusion. With excellent piezoelectric and mechanical attributes, the as-electrospun piezoelectric nanofibers can be easily integrated into the conventional shoe insoles to form a foot sensor network for all-around gait patterns monitoring, walking habits identification and Metatarsalgi prognosis. This work utilizes the interfacial coupling mechanism of intermolecular anchoring as a strategy to develop high-performance piezoelectric composites for wearable electronics.

Abstract
Despite the existence of many attempts at nerve tissue engineering, there is no ideal strategy to date for effectively treating defective peripheral nerve tissue. In the present study, well-aligned poly (L-lactic acid) (PLLA) nanofibers with varied nano-porous surface structures were designed within different ambient humidity levels using the stable jet electrospinning (SJES) technique. Nanofibers have the capacity to inhibit bacterial adhesion, especially with respect to Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus). It was noteworthy to find that the large nano-porous fibers were less detrimentally affected by S. aureus than smaller fibers. Large nano-pores furthermore proved more conducive to the proliferation and differentiation of neural stem cells (NSCs), while small nano-pores were more beneficial to NSC migration. Thus, this study concluded that well-aligned fibers with varied nano-porous surface structures could reduce bacterial colonization and enhance cellular responses, which could be used as promising material in tissue engineering, especially for neuro-regeneration.

Abstract
Fabrication of soft piezoelectric nanomaterials is essential for the development of wearable and implantable biomedical devices. However, a big challenge in this soft functional material development is to achieve a high piezoelectric property with long-term stability in a biological environment. Here, a one-step strategy for fabricating core/shell poly(vinylidene difluoride) (PVDF)/dopamine (DA) nanofibers (NFs) with a very high β-phase content and self-aligned polarization is reported. The self-assembled core/shell structure is believed essential for the formation and alignment of β-phase PVDF, where strong intermolecular interaction between the NH2 groups on DA and the CF2 groups on PVDF is responsible for aligning the PVDF chains and promoting β-phase nucleation. The as-received PVDF/DA NFs exhibit significantly enhanced piezoelectric performance and excellent stability and biocompatibility. An all-fiber-based soft sensor is fabricated and tested on human skin and in vivo in mice. The devices show a high sensitivity and accuracy for detecting weak physiological mechanical stimulation from diaphragm motions and blood pulsation. This sensing capability offers great diagnostic potential for the early assessment and prevention of cardiovascular diseases and respiratory disorders.

Abstract
A series of polyoxymethylene (POM)/poly(l-lactic acid) (PLLA) blends were prepared by melt extrusion, and their spinnability was confirmed by rheological characterizations, successive self-nucleation, and annealing thermal fractionation analysis. The bicomponent fibers were prepared by means of the melt-spinning and post-drawing technologies using the above-obtained blends, and their morphology, crystalline orientation characteristics, mechanical performance, hydration behavior, and thermal degradation kinetics were studied extensively. The bicomponent fibers exhibited a uniform diameter distribution and compact texture at the ultimate draw ratio. Although the presence of PLLA reduced the crystallinity of the POM domain in the bicomponent fibers, the post-drawing process promoted the crystalline orientation of lamellar folded-chain crystallites due to the stress-induced crystallization effect and enhanced the crystallinity of the POM domain accordingly. As a result, the bicomponent fibers achieved the relatively high tensile strength of 791 MPa. The bicomponent fibers exhibited a partial hydration capability in both acid and alkali media and therefore could meet the requirement for serving as a type of biodegradable fibers. The introduction of PLLA slightly reduced the thermo-oxidative aging property and thermal stability of the bicomponent fibers. Such a combination of two polymers shortened the thermal lifetime of the bicomponent fibers, which could facilitate their natural degradation for ecological and sustainable applications.

Abstract
This work shows a simple and environmental friendly methodology to obtain a kind of polydopamine coating assisted preparation of zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) functionalized composite electrospun fiber (ZIF-8/PDA/PAN fibers) adsorbent. Characterization of the composite electrospun fiber was carried out and the tetracycline (TC) adsorption properties from water were also studied in detail. At the same time, principle adsorption mechanisms were thoroughly studied. The results show that the pseudo-second-order model can simulate sorption kinetics well, while sorption isotherms are able to significantly conform to the Freundlich model, and the adsorption capacity of the fibers can reach 478.18 mg/g at 298 K. In addition, the Weber-Morris model indicates that the processes of adsorption of ZIF-8/PDA/PAN fibers for TC involve surface adsorption as well as intraparticle diffusion, and the limit rate step is not only the intraparticle diffusion but also the binding of the sorbate to the sorbent. Moreover, the adsorption efficiency toward TC by ZIF-8/PDA/PAN fibers still reached over 85% of its initial adsorption capacity after five adsorption/desorption cycles, which signified that the adsorbents is stable and recyclable. This work indicates that the obtained ZIF-8/PDA/PAN fibers have practical application prospects in the field of antibiotic adsorption.

Abstract
Removal of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) from contaminated sediments is a priority due to accumulation in the food chain. Recent success with reduction of PCB bioavailability due to adsorption onto activated carbon led to the recognition of in situ treatment as a remediation approach. In this study, reduced bioavailability and subsequent break-down of PCBs in dehalorespiring biofilms was investigated using Dehalobium chlorocoercia DF1. DF1 formed a patchy biofilm ranging in thickness from 3.9 to 6.7 µm (average 4.6 ± 0.87 µm), while the biofilm coverage varied from 5.5% (sand) to 20.2% (activated carbon), indicating a preference for sorptive materials. Quantification of DF1 biofilm bacteria showed 1.2-15.3 × 109 bacteria per gram of material. After 22 days, coal activated carbon, bone biochar, polyoxymethylene, and sand microcosms had dechlorinated 73%, 93%, 100%, and 83%, respectively. These results show that a biofilm-based inoculum for bioaugmentation of PCBs in sediment can be an efficient approach.

An electrospinning process was utilized to fabricate composite nanofibers of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) reinforced with cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs). The effect of environmental relative humidity on the microstructure of CNC/PMMA nanofibers was investigated. Results showed that fiber surfaces of CNC/PMMA appeared smooth. Fibers had gradually decreasing diameters and lower diameter variations as CNC loading increased. The thermal property of CNC/PMMA nanofibers was also enhanced due to hydrogen bonding between PMMA molecular chains and CNC nanoparticles. Compared to pure PMMA fibers, the storage modulus and tensile strength of composite nanofibers were pronouncedly improved. By increasing relative humidity of the electrospinning environment, these nanofibers showed prominent nanoporous surfaces while the surface roughness and porosity of CNC/PMMA nanofibers increased. Furthermore, CNCs were critical to accelerating the evolution of pores and increasing surface roughness. Our findings can provide useful guidelines for the fabrication of nanofibers with desired properties and pore structure by electrospinning.

Abstract
Aerosol particle filtration in most penetrating particle size (MPPS) region is of great challenge for conventional nonwoven filter mats. The present work, therefore, redesigns conventional filter mats by introducing porous structure. A combination of thermally induced phase separation and breath figure mechanism was employed to synthesize porous cellulose triacetate fibers, in conjunction with the volatile solvent methylene chloride. The ambient humidity, the concentration of the polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) secondary polymer, and the ethanol cosolvent were all adjusted to modify the Taylor cone formation, jet stability, and fiber porosity. After fiber formation, the PVP was removed to obtain a superhydrophobic material. To distinguish the effect of pores, the performance of porous and nonporous nanofibers having similar sizes was conducted. Tests were performed using various dust particle sizes, and the results show that the collection efficiency of the porous fibers, resulting from particle diffusion, inertial impaction, and interception, was improved. Interestingly, the efficiency of the porous fibers in the MPPS region was exceptionally enhanced (up to 95%), demonstrating that the presence of dynamic pores greatly contributes to particle capture.

Abstract
Electrospun nanofibers possess unique qualities such as nanodiameter, high surface area to volume ratio, biomimetic architecture, and tunable chemical and electrical properties. Numerous studies have demonstrated the potential of nanofibrous architecture to direct cell morphology, migration, and more complex biological processes such as differentiation and extracellular matrix (ECM) deposition through topographical guidance cues. These advantages have created great interest in electrospun fibers for biomedical applications, including tendon and ligament repair. Electrospun nanofibers, despite their nanoscale size, generally exhibit poor mechanical properties compared to larger conventionally manufactured polymer fiber materials. This invites the question of what role electrospun polymer nanofibers can play in tendon and ligament repair applications that have both biological and mechanical requirements. At first glance, the strength and stiffness of electrospun nanofiber grafts appear to be too low to fill the rigorous loading conditions of these tissues. However, there are a number of strategies to enhance and tune the mechanical properties of electrospun nanofiber grafts. As researchers design the next-generation electrospun tendon and ligament grafts, it is critical to consider numerous physiologically relevant mechanical criteria and to evaluate graft mechanical performance in conditions and loading environments that reflect in vivo conditions and surgical fixation methods.

Abstract
Piezoelectricity in macromolecule polymers has been gaining immense attention, particularly for applications in biocompatible, implantable, and flexible electronic devices. This paper introduces core-shell-structured piezoelectric polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) nanofibers chemically wrapped by graphene oxide (GO) lamellae (PVDF/GO nanofibers), in which the polar β-phase nanocrystals are formed and uniaxially self-oriented by the synergistic effect of mechanical stretching, high-voltage alignment, and chemical interactions. The β-phase orientation of the PVDF/GO nanofibers along their axes is observed at atomic scale through high resolution transmission electron microscopy, and the β-phase content is found to be 88.5%. The piezoelectric properties of the PVDF/GO nanofibers are investigated in terms of piezoresponse mapping, local hysteresis loops, and polarization reversal by advanced piezoresponse force microscopy. The PVDF/GO nanofibers show a desirable out-of-plane piezoelectric constant (d33) of -93.75 pm V-1 (at 1.0 wt % GO addition), which is 426% higher than that of the conventional pure PVDF nanofibers. The mechanism behind this dramatic enhancement in piezoelectricity is elucidated by three-dimensional molecular modeling.

Abstract
Porous ultrafine fibers are of great importance to various applications. Herein, we report a method to directly fabricate macro-porous ultrafine fibers by an in situ mixing microfluidics which allows for the simultaneous electrospinning of solution immediately after mixing. The formation mechanism of macro-pores should be attributed to the incomplete mixing coupled with nonsolvent-induced phase separation, which was elucidated by systematical investigation of various solvent systems and mixing solvents. The diameter of the macro-porous fibers can be tuned from 1.80 ± 0.40 to 6.75 ± 0.48 μm by adjusting the solution concentration and the feeding rate of mixing solvent. The results indicated that macro-porous fibers exhibited higher specific surface area (48.66 ± 8.30 m2 g-1), larger pore size (116.73 nm) and pore volume (0.169 ± 0.007 cm3 g-1) than conventional electrospun porous fibers, enabling the high oil absorption capacities of 95.68, 57.98, and 34.82 g g-1 for silicon oil, motor oil, and peanut oil, respectively. Our method has greatly expanded the solution scope for electrospinning from stable solution systems to unstable or substable solution systems, thus providing intriguing opportunities for the investigation and fabrication of heterogeneous fibers by in situ mixing of various immiscible solvents/solutions. Our findings can serve as guidelines for the electrospinning of ultrafine fibers with interconnected macro-pores (>50 nm).

Abstract
In this article, a new method is used to fabricate a high-performance triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG), which is convenient and cost-effective. A polyformaldehyde (POM) film with novel structures is prepared through electrospinning and is combined with a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) film to assemble micro-nano structured TENG. The short-circuit current (I s) and open-circuit voltage (V o) of the TENG are up to 0.4343 mA and 236.8 V, respectively, and no significant change is observed by applying different frequencies of external impact forces from 1 to 10 Hz. Finally, we successfully drive an electrochromic device (ECD) directly using TENG within just 2 min for the first time.

Abstract
In tissue engineering research, aligned electrospun ultrafine fibers have been shown to regulate cellular alignment and relevant functional expression, but the imposed effect of individual fiber surface nanotopography on cell behaviour has not been examined closely. This work investigates the impact of superimposing a nano-pore feature atop individual fiber surfaces on the responsive behaviour of human vascular smooth muscle cells (vSMCs) for blood vessel tissue engineering. Well-aligned ultrafine poly(l-lactic acid) (PLLA) microfibers with an average fiber diameter of ca. 1.6 μm were fabricated by using a novel stable jet electrospinning (SJES) method. Ellipse-shaped nano-pores with varied aspect ratios (defined as long-to-short axis ratio) of 2.7-3.9, corresponding to a surface nano-roughness in the range of 54.8-110.0 nm, were in situ generated onto individual fiber surfaces by varying ambient humidity from 45% to 75% during the SJES process. The presence of elliptical nano-pores on fiber surfaces affected the characteristic anisotropic wettability of the aligned PLLA fibers and contributed to greater protein adsorption (up to 17.59 μg mg-1). A 7 day in vitro assessment of human umbilical arterial SMCs cultured on these aligned nano-porous fiber substrates indicated that cellular responses were in close correlation with the elliptical nano-pore feature. A pronounced fiber surface nanotopography was superior in soliciting favorable cellular responses, leading to enhanced cell attachment, proliferation, alignment, expression of the vascular matrix proteins and maintenance of a contractile phenotype. This study thus suggests that introduction of an elliptical nano-pore feature to the aligned microfiber surfaces could provide additional dimensionality of topographical cues to modulate the vSMC responses when using the aligned electrospun ultrafine fibers for engineering vascular constructs.

Abstract
This article presents a simple and reliable method for generating polystyrene (PS) yarns composed of bundles of nanofibrils by using a proper combination of solvent and relative humidity. We elucidated the mechanism responsible for the formation of this new morphology by systematically investigating the molecular interactions among the polymer, solvent(s), and water vapor. We demonstrated that vapor-induced phase separation played a pivotal role in generating the yarns with a unique structure. Furthermore, we discovered that the low vapor pressure of N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) was critical to the evolution of pores in the interiors. On the contrary, the relatively high vapor pressure of tetrahydrofuran (THF) hindered the formation of interior pores but excelled in creating a rough surface. In all cases, our results clearly indicate that the formation of either internal porosity or surface roughness required the presence of water vapor, a nonsolvent of the polymer, at a proper level of relative humidity. The exact morphology or pore structure was dependent on the speed of evaporation of the solvent(s) (DMF, THF, and their mixtures) as well as the interdiffusion and penetration of the nonsolvent (water) and solvent(s). Our findings can serve as guidelines for the preparation of fibers with desired porosity both internally and externally through electrospinning.

Abstract
Ceramic silica (SiO(2)) hybrid nanofibers were prepared by electrospinning of solutions containing biocompatible polymer and modified silica precursors. The new hybrid nanofibers are based on polyethylene oxide (PEO) and a new solution of modified sol-gel particles of mixture containing tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) and 3-glycidyloxypropyltriethoxysilane (GPTEOS) in a weight ratio of 3:1. Adding high-molecular-weight PEO into the silica sol is found to enhance the formation of the silica nanofibers and leads to reduce the water-soluble carrying polymer down to 1.2%wt. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and attenuated total reflection fourier transformation infrared ATR-FTIR measurements are suggested that PEO is encapsulated by the silica component. This excellent formulation renders electrospinning of SiO(2) a robust process for an easy production of controllable silicate nanofibrous matrices. For instance, nanofibers with average diameter down to 400 nm are accessible by varying the weight ratio between the polymer and the inorganic precursor. These are reduced to 120 nm after the pyrolysis process. Moreover, the surface of the nanofibers could be easily modified, either by Al(3+) leading to aluminium silicate coatings, or by incorporation of Ca(2+) ions and subsequent bioactive hydroxyl carbonate apatite (HAP) formation. These hybrid silica nanofibers are possess a unique collective properties can have a great impact either in high-temperature reinforced materials and filtration or in biomedical applications such as in dentistry and bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
A direct approach for fabricating nanoporous polymer fibers via electrospinning has been demonstrated. Polystyrene (PS) fibers with micro- and nanoporous structures both in the core and/or on the fiber surfaces were electrospun in a single process by varying solvent compositions and solution concentrations of the PS solutions. The porous structures of the fibrous mats were characterized by field emission scanning electron microscopy and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller measurements to confirm that they could be accurately controlled by tuning vapor pressure of tetrahydrofuran (THF) and N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) solvent mixtures and PS concentrations in the solutions. As the solution concentration decreased, the average fiber diameter decreased, whereas the bead density increased dramatically to show a beads-on-string morphology. Both the specific surface area and pore volume of the fibrous mats showed a unimodal distributions centered at 1/3 THF /DMF mix ratio. Fibers formed from 5 wt % PS in the 1/3 THF and DMF mixtures had the largest specific surface area of 54.92 m(2) g(-1) and a pore volume of 0.318 cm(3)g(-1), respectively.
