Abstract
HIGHLIGHTS Influence of interface conductive network on ionic transport and mechanical stability under fast charging is explored for the first time. The mitigation of interface polarization is precisely revealed by the combination of 2D modeling simulation and Cryo-TEM observation, which can be attributed to a higher fraction formation of conductive inorganic species in bilayer SEI, and primarily contributes to a linear decrease in ionic diffusion energy barrier. The improved stress dissipation presented by AFM and Raman shift is critical for the linear reduction in electrode residual stress and thickness swelling. Progress in the fast charging of high-capacity silicon monoxide (SiO)-based anode is currently hindered by insufficient conductivity and notable volume expansion. The construction of an interface conductive network effectively addresses the aforementioned problems; however, the impact of its quality on lithium-ion transfer and structure durability is yet to be explored. Herein, the influence of an interface conductive network on ionic transport and mechanical stability under fast charging is explored for the first time. 2D modeling simulation and Cryo-transmission electron microscopy precisely reveal the mitigation of interface polarization owing to a higher fraction of conductive inorganic species formation in bilayer solid electrolyte interphase is mainly responsible for a linear decrease in ionic diffusion energy barrier. Furthermore, atomic force microscopy and Raman shift exhibit substantial stress dissipation generated by a complete conductive network, which is critical to the linear reduction of electrode residual stress. This study provides insights into the rational design of optimized interface SiO-based anodes with reinforced fast-charging performance.

Abstract
The cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) is an anion channel responsible for the direct transport of bicarbonate and chloride. CFTR-dependent ionic transport is crucial for pH regulation and fluid homeodynamics among epithelial surfaces. Particularly, CFTR performs an essential role in the male reproductive tract, which requires a tight regulation of water and electrolytes in order to produce healthy spermatozoa. The absence or malfunction of CFTR results in cystic fibrosis, the most common lethal disease among Caucasians, that is characterized by an impaired fluid and ionic homeostasis in the whole organism. Due to the wide expression and importance of CFTR, the male reproductive tract is highly affected by cystic fibrosis, resulting in male infertility. Although CFTR is not permeable to water, this protein acts as a regulator of other protein channels, such as aquaporins. In fact, CFTR acts as a molecular partner of aquaporins in epithelial cells, regulating fluid homeodynamics. Herein, up-to-date data concerning the regulation of aquaporin-mediated water transport by CFTR will be discussed, highlighting the role of both channels in the male reproductive tract.

Abstract
The understanding and design of wetting-transport and wetting-charge-transport interplay in nanometer-sized pores is a still not fully understood key step in improving nanopore transport-related applications. A control of mesopore wettability accompanied by pore filling and ionic mesopore accessibility analysis is expected to deliver major insights into this interplay of nanoscale pore wetting and transport. For a systematic understanding, we demonstrate a gradual adjustment of nanopore ionic accessibility by gradually tuning silica nanopore wettability using chemical vapor phase deposition of 1H,1H,2H,2H-perfluorooctyl dimethylchlorosilane. The mutual influence of wetting on liquid imbibition, condensation, and molecular transport as well as on heat transfer were studied by ellipsometry, cyclic voltammetry and boiling experiments, respectively. A multi-methodical analytic approach was used to directly couple wetting properties of mesoporous silica thin films to ionic mesopore accessibility allowing us to determine two different ion transport mechanisms based on three defined wetting regimes as well as a threshold hydrophobicity suppressing pore accessibility. Furthermore, boiling experiments showed a clear increase in nucleation site density upon changing the wettability of the mesoporous surfaces from hydrophilic to hydrophobic. Hence, these results provide insights into the complex interplay of pore wall functionalization, wetting, and charge-dependent nanopore properties.
