Sputtering of LiCoO
2
Thin Films
Lithium cobalt oxide (LCO) cathode has been widely applied in 3C products (computer, communication, and consumer), and LCO films are the most promising cathode materials for thin-film lithium batteries (TFBs) due to their high volumetric energy density and favorable durability. Magnetron sputtering deposition technology realizes the merits of high speed, low temperature, and low toxicity. The magnetron sputtering technology perfectly fits the microelectronics, micro-memory, and other micro-devices in the field of low energy demand, and has even gradually been expanded to flexible devices and implantable medical devices. Therefore, magnetron sputtering has become the most common method for making LCO thin-film electrodes.

Poly(Ionic Liquid) Materials-Based Advanced Formulations for Additive Manufacturing
Innovation in materials specially formulated for additive manufacturing is of great interest and can generate new opportunities for designing cost-effective smart materials for next-generation devices and engineering applications. Nevertheless, advanced molecular and nanostructured systems are frequently not possible to integrate into 3D printable materials, thus limiting their technological transferability. In some cases, this challenge can be overcome using polymeric macromolecules of ionic nature, such as polymeric ionic liquids (PILs). Due to their tuneability, wide variety in molecular composition, and macromolecular architecture, they show a remarkable ability to stabilize molecular and nanostructured materials. The technology resulting from 3D-printable PIL-based formulations represents an untapped array of potential applications, including optoelectronic, antimicrobial, catalysis, photoactive, conductive, and redox applications.

Medicinal Chemistry of Analgesic and Anti-Inflammatory Quinazoline Compounds
Quinazoline is an essential scaffold, known to be linked with various biological activities. Some of the prominent biological activities of this system are analgesic, anti-inflammatory, anti-hypertensive, anti-bacterial, anti-diabetic, anti-malarial, sedative–hypnotic, anti-histaminic, anti-cancer, anti-convulsant, anti-tubercular, and anti-viral activities. This diversity in the pharmacological response of the quinazoline system has encouraged medicinal chemists to study and discover this system and its multitude of potential against several biological activities.

Nanoparticle-Incorporated Gelatin Methacryloyl Nanocomposites
Gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA)-based composites are evolving three-dimensional (3D) networking hydrophilic protein composite scaffolds with high water content. These protein composites have been devoted to biomedical applications due to their unique abilities, such as flexibility, soft structure, versatility, stimuli-responsiveness, biocompatibility, biodegradability, and others.

The Asymmetric Hydroarylation of Activated Aryl Portions
Hydroarylation reactions enable the formation of new Csp2–Csp3 or Csp2–Csp2 bonds using aromatic substrates. Its outcome is described as the addition of hydrogen and an aryl group to an unsaturated moiety, resulting in the functionalization of the aromatic Csp2–H bond. Hydroarylation reactions can occur by a direct functionalization via insertion of an unsaturated compound or with the use of pre-activated aryl substrates, usually aryl-iodides or aryl-boronated. Below are reported some example from the scientific production of the last 10 years about the asymmetric hydroarylation of activated aryl portions. Nickel and palladium turned out to be the more-employed metals.

Self-Healing Polymer, Metal, and Ceramic Matrix Composites
Composites can be divided into three groups based on their matrix materials, namely polymer, metal and ceramic. Composite materials fail due to micro cracks. Repairing is complex and almost impossible if cracks appear on the surface and interior, which minimizes reliability and material life. In order to save the material from failure and prolong its lifetime without compromising mechanical properties, self-healing is one of the emerging and best techniques.

Ferroelectric Oxides
Ferroelectric oxides can be insulators, metals, and even topological ferroelectric metals. Rare-earth-doped ferroelectric oxides exhibit efficient upconversion or downconversion luminescence in the range of ultraviolet (UV) to near-infrared (NIR) regions. The combination of rare-earth ions and ferroelectric oxides has shown great potential in optical sensing, lighting, solar cells, and other applications.

Carbon Materials as Cathode for Dual-Carbon Lithium-Ion Capacitors
Lithium-ion capacitors (LICs) have drawn increasing attention, due to their appealing potential for bridging the performance gap between lithium-ion batteries and supercapacitors. Especially, dual-carbon lithium-ion capacitors (DC-LICs) are even more attractive because of the low cost, high conductivity, and tunable nanostructure/surface chemistry/composition, as well as excellent chemical/electrochemical stability of carbon materials. Based on the well-matched capacity and rate between the cathode and anode, DC-LICs show superior electrochemical performances over traditional LICs and are considered to be one of the most promising alternatives to the current energy storage devices. The mismatch between the cathode and anode could be further suppressed by applying carbon nanomaterials.

Exposure Effects Related to Nanomaterial Life Cycles
Nanoparticle-based biosensors are produced and utilized at different scales ranging from laboratory to industrial domains. While incorporating nanomaterials is beneficial to developing high-performance biosensors, at the stages of scale-up and disposal, it may lead to the unmanaged release of toxic nanomaterials. When considering the potential environmental impact and health safety of the scaled-up production of nano biosensors, it is necessary to examine the manufacturing, utilization, and end-of-life disposal of the nanomaterials used.
