Abstract Safety concerns in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) poses safety risks due to flammable liquid electrolytes and dendrite formation. Solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) offer a safer alternative, though limited by low ionic conductivity and poor dendrite resistance. In this study, a SPE based on poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) was modified to by blending with polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF)...

Fast and facile controlled synthesis of silver nanocubes using the solvothermal process to create SERS substrates for detecting polystyrene microplastics
Abstract The approach for detecting trace amounts of microplastics using surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) faces a significant challenge because the size of individual nanoparticles is considerably smaller than that of microplastics. Therefore, it is imperative to develop a type of nanoparticle that can form a larger surface area while still preserving excellent surface plasmon properties...
Countering Side-Channel Attacks With a Dynamic S-Box Based on Affine Transformations and Gold Sequences
Abstract Advanced cryptographic devices employ multiscale countermeasures to bolster resilience against side-channel analysis (SCA). In masking-based defenses, secure substitution-boxes (S-boxes) and effective masking schemes are paramount. Additionally, the time-based hiding techniques, leveraging multiple clocks for individual encryption operations, offer significant protection. This article introduces a novel multiscale countermeasure: an improved tower field masking scheme integrated...
The complete version of Kursov’s theorem for matrices over division rings
Abstract Let D be a division ring with center F, and let n > 1 be an integer. A known result due to Kursov asserts that if D is finite-dimensional over F, then the commutator width of the general linear group GLn(D) is at most one greater than that of GLn(D). In the absence of the finite-dimensionality assumption, recent research has made significant...
Thermoelectric properties of MoS2 thin films prepared by RF magnetron sputtering
Abstract In this work, we investigated the thermoelectric properties of MoS2 thin films deposited on SiO2/Si wafer substrates as prepared by the radio frequency (RF) magnetron sputtering technique. A fixed sputtering power of 200 W was maintained for 30 min to facilitate thin film deposition. After thin film deposition, as-deposited thin films were annealed by the vacuum annealing...
Using Low-Speed Rotation in Heparin Immobilization Improved Antithrombogenicity of Tubular Acellular Vascular Scaffolds
Abstract Background: Acellular tubular artery scaffolds offer structural support for vascular regeneration but are inherently limited by poor anticoagulant properties, which increases the risk of thrombus formation following implantation. This thrombogenicity remains a major obstacle to their clinical application, particularly in small-diameter vascular grafts. Methods: To address this challenge, the present study investigates the use...
Rescaled kernel regularization for a nonlinear inverse problem with a sum of nonlocal diffusion operators
Abstract This article tackles the ill-posed challenge of solving a nonlinear heat transfer equation in backward form. Traditional regularization methods (Tikhonov, quasi-reversibility, quasi-boundary value, truncation, etc.) exist, but we introduce a novel approach based on nonlocal diffusion equations with a rescaled convolution kernel. We will provide error estimates and demonstrate the accuracy of this technique...
Characterizing organic and elemental carbon in PM2.5 during the summer season across urban and suburban zones of hanoi: Sources and implications
Abstract This study investigates and compares the characteristics and potential sources of carbonaceous aerosols in fine particulate matter (PM2.5) between urban and suburban areas of Hanoi. Daily samples were collected at two sites in Hanoi, Vietnam, including HUCE (urban) and Thuong Tin (suburban), during June, July, and August 2024, corresponding to the summer period in...
Selector-Free 16 × 16 CrOX/TiO2-Based Memristor Array for Synaptic Dynamics and LTP/ LTD Emulation: Experimental–Computational Correlation
Abstract This study presents a combined experimental–theoretical approach to understanding and optimizing CrOx-based self-rectifying memristor (SRM) for neuromorphic computing and provides a promising platform for selector-free, low-power crossbar arrays. By using a stencil-assisted DC sputtering technique, a 16 × 16 crossbar array is fabricated and exhibits reliable analog resistive switching, minimal sneak current (≈150 nA), and...
Mott–Schottky Au/Co3O4 Decorated on a Carbon Cloth Substrate as an Efficiently Bifunctional Electrocatalyst for Hydrogen and Oxygen Evolution Reactions
Abstract Catalytic materials for water splitting must possess pivotal characteristics such as cost-effectiveness, robust stability, and high performance toward the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER). In this study, we utilized a designed Mott–Schottky material, Au/Co3O4, developed in conjunction with a low-cost and robust material: carbon cloth. The findings revealed that 30...
