The increasing use of electronic devices raises concerns about resource availability and end-of-life management, particularly regarding conductors for interconnects and sensing elements. While gold and silver are the leading materials for interconnects, they pose challenges related to scarcity, cost, and toxicity. Zinc offers a promising alternative due to its good electrical conductivity, non-toxicity, abundance, and affordability. However, challenges in achieving high conductivity and waste generation from processing techniques like screen-printing remain. To address this, a zinc ink optimizes for 3D printing is proposed, using active zinc particles in a shellac matrix. The methods, including chemical and photonic sintering, achieve conductivities of up to 8.74•104 S m⁻¹ on paper substrates, with stable performance over a range of 30%–70% relative humidity at 15, 20, 25, and 30 °C respectively. Potential applications in high-conductivity transducers for humidity sensing and metal-air batteries are demonstrated, achieving a maximum power output of 3.5 mW and an open-circuit voltage of 1.25 V. The integration of digital material assembly of zinc, reliable high-performance operation, and non-toxicity pave the way for innovative advancements in sustainable electronics, including applications in environmental sensing, e-textiles, and healthcare.

Aqueous organic redox flow batteries offer great promise for long-duration stationary energy storage but are often hindered by high costs associated with synthetic redox-active materials and expensive ion-exchange membranes. Polymer-based redox species allow the use of cheaper microporous membranes, yet synthetic redox polymers remain costly to produce. In this study, a cost-effective zinc/lignosulfonate hybrid redox flow battery (RFB) is presented, employing commercial sodium lignosulfonate (NaLS) as a biopolymer catholyte, Zn foil as a low-cost and abundant anode, and a cost-effective size-exclusion cellulose membrane as the separator. The sluggish electrochemical behavior of the NaLS is enhanced by using carbon-impregnated felt electrodes. Using 10 mM NaLS (20 kDa), the system achieves an average discharge voltage of 0.98 V and an initial capacity of 1.41 Ah L−1 (9.4 mAh g−1), outperforming previous lignin-based RFBs. Increasing NaLS concentration to 30 mM boosts capacity to 3.52 Ah L−1, although the cycling stability in 1 M ZnSO4 remains moderate. However, increasing the ZnSO4 concentration to 3 M further improves cyclability, with capacity retention rising to 72% over 28 days, compared to 66% over 17 days for 1 M ZnSO4. This work represents the first demonstration of commercial lignosulfonate as a catholyte in Zn-hybrid RFBs, showcasing its potential as a sustainable active material with a remarkably low electrolyte cost of 26 € kWh−1.

Understanding the energetic landscapes of large molecules is necessary for the study of chemical and biological systems. Recently, deep learning has greatly accelerated the development of models based on quantum chemistry, making it possible to build potential energy surfaces and explore chemical space. However, most of this work has focused on organic molecules due to the simplicity of their electronic structures as well as the availability of data sets. In this work, we build a deep learning architecture to model the energetics of zinc organometallic complexes. To achieve this, we have compiled a configurationally and conformationally diverse data set of zinc complexes using metadynamics to overcome the limitations of traditional sampling methods. In terms of the neural network potentials, our results indicate that for zinc complexes, partial charges play an important role in modeling the long-range interactions with a neural network. Our developed model outperforms semiempirical methods in predicting the relative energy of zinc conformers, yielding a mean absolute error (MAE) of 1.32 kcal/mol with reference to the double-hybrid PWPB95 method.

Summary
Dataset of imaging data related to the publication Raudenska, M., Kratochvilova, M., Vicar, T., Gumulec, J., Balvan, J., Polanska, H. Pribyl, J. & Masarik, M.:Cisplatin enhances cell stiffness and decreases invasiveness rate in prostate cancer cells by actin accumulation. Scientific Reports 2019, 9, 1660
This dataset includes image data of atomic force microcopy (Young modulus) and confocal microscopy(staining of F-actin and β-tubulin) of prostate cell lines PNT1A, 22Rv1, and PC-3.
Materials and Methods
Cells, cell culture conditions
Cells confluent up to 50–60% were washed with a FBS-free medium and treated with a fresh medium with FBS and required antineoplastic drug concentration (IC50 concentration for the particular cell line). The cells were treated with 93 µM (PC-3), 38 µM (PNT1A), and 24 µM (22Rv1) of cisplatin (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, Missouri), respectively. IC50 concentrations used for treatment with docetaxel (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, Missouri) were 200nM for PC-3, 70nM for PNT1A, and 150nM for 22Rv1.
Long-term zinc (II) treatment of cell cultures
Cells were cultivated in the constant presence of zinc(II) ions. Concentrations of zinc(II) sulphate in the medium were increased gradually by small changes of 25 or 50 µM. The cells were cultivated at each concentration no less than one week before harvesting and their viability was checked before adding more zinc. This process was used to select zinc resistant cells naturally and to ensure better accumulation of zinc within the cells (accumulation of zinc is usually poor during the short-term treatment of prostate cancer cells). Total time of the cultivation of cell lines in the zinc(II)-containing media exceeded one year. Resulting concentrations of zinc(II) in the media (IC50 for the particular cell line) were 50 µM for the PC-3 cell line, 150 µM for the PNT1A cell line, and 400 µM for the 22Rv1 cell line. The concentrations of zinc(II) in the media and FBS were taken into account.
Actin and tubulin staining
β-tubulin was labeled with anti- β tubulin antibody EPR1330 at a working dilution of 1/300. The secondary antibody used was Alexa Fluor® 555 donkey anti-rabbit (ab150074) at a dilution of 1/1000. Actin was labeled with Alexa Fluor™ 488 Phalloidin (A12379, Invitrogen); 1 unit per slide. For mounting Duolink® In Situ Mounting Medium with DAPI (DUO82040) was used. The cells were fixed in 3.7% paraformaldehyde and permeabilized using 0.1% Triton X-100.
Confocal microscopy
The microscopy of samples was performed at the Institute of Biophysics, Czech Academy of Sciences, Brno, Czech Republic. Leica DM RXA microscope (equipped with DMSTC motorized stage, Piezzo z-movement, MicroMax CCD camera, CSU-10 confocal unit and 488, 562, and 714 nm laser diodes with AOTF) was used for acquiring detailed cell images (100× oil immersion Plan Fluotar lens, NA 1.3). Total 50 Z slices was captured with Z step size 0.3 μm.
Atomic force microscopy
We used the bioAFM microscope JPK NanoWizard 3 (JPK, Berlin, Germany) placed on the inverted optical microscope Olympus IX‑81 (Olympus, Tokyo, Japan) equipped with the fluorescence and confocal module, thus allowing a combined experiment (AFM‑optical combined images). The maximal scanning range of the AFM microscope in X‑Y‑Z range was 100‑100‑15 µm. The typical approach/retract settings were identical with a 15 μm extend/retract length, Setpoint value of 1 nN, a pixel rate of 2048 Hz and a speed of 30 µm/s. The system operated under closed-loop control. After reaching the selected contact force, the cantilever was retracted. The retraction length of 15 μm was sufficient to overcome any adhesion between the tip and the sample and to make sure that the cantilever had been completely retracted from the sample surface. Force‑distance (FD) curve was recorded at each point of the cantilever approach/retract movement. AFM measurements were obtained at 37°C (Petri dish heater, JPK) with force measurements recorded at a pulling speed of 30 µm/s (extension time 0.5 sec).
The Young's modulus (E) was calculated by fitting the Hertzian‑Sneddon model on the FD curves measured as force maps (64x64 points) of the region containing either a single cell or multiple cells. JPK data evaluation software was used for the batch processing of measured data. The adjustment of the cantilever position above the sample was carried out under the microscope by controlling the position of the AFM‑head by motorized stage equipped with Petri dish heater (JPK) allowing precise positioning of the sample together with a constant elevated temperature of the sample for the whole period of the experiment. Soft uncoated AFM probes HYDRA-2R-100N (Applied NanoStructures, Mountain View, CA, USA), i.e. silicon nitride cantilevers with silicon tips are used for stiffness studies because they are maximally gentle to living cells (not causing mechanical stimulation). Moreover, as compared with coated cantilevers, these probes are very stable under elevated temperatures in liquids – thus allowing long-time measurements without nonspecific changes in the measured signal.
Image analysis
Fluorescence microscopy data were analyzed in ImageJ 1.52h and Python 3.7.1 as follows: cells were manually segmented using actin fluorescence channel, two regions were created for analysis: whole cell and cell periphery, lining a 4 μm thick region around cell border and including most of periphery actin cytoskeleton. In these two regions following parameters were measured for both actin and tubulin fluorescence: Integrated intensity, median intensity, and following regions were measured to describe cell morphology: Cell area, Maximum caliper (max feret diameter), roundness, and aspect ratio. Moreover, stress fibers were manually segmented in every cell and following parameters were measured: number of fibers per cell, feret angle of fiber, integrated intensity, fiber length, mean intensity. Next, a standard deviation of feret angles of individual fibers was calculated relatively to mean of feret angle using a circstd function from scipy package for Python.

TwitterThe effects of the current rate used during the first charging (pre-charging: so-called “formation”) on the cathodic deposition of metallic zinc (Zn) were analyzed for the high capacity (thick) zinc oxide (ZnO) electrode in rechargeable Zn-based batteries. Pre-charging at a lower current rate (1.875 mA cm−2) enabled greater electrode performances for the subsequent charge-discharge cycles. The Zn deposition profiles were investigated by conventional postmortem X-ray diffraction (XRD) and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy using a scanning electron microscope, as well as in situ synchrotron XRD and ex situ synchrotron X-ray computed tomography. The results revealed significant differences in the deposition profiles of the metallic Zn depending on the current rates used during pre-charging. The higher rate (18.75 mA cm−2) resulted in an inhomogeneous deposition of Zn, whereas the lower rate yielded finer Zn particles dispersed homogeneously throughout the thick ZnO electrode. These morphological and spatial variations in the Zn deposition during pre-charging affected the subsequent cycling behavior of the thick ZnO electrode.

TwitterZinc electrodeposition is an economical process of Zn coating compared to conventional galvanic process. The galvanizing process is used in various industrial sectors to protect ferrous alloys during the corrosion process. In buildings, the galvanizing process is widely used to coat mortar protective screens. The electrodeposition of zinc has a relatively low cost compared to other coating materials for the same purpose; however, its corrosion resistance is lower than that of most protective deposits. This study evaluated the effect of adding glycerol to the electrodeposition bath on the corrosion resistance, deposition efficiency, morphology and microstructure of the zinc electrodeposit in concentrations ranging from 0.03 to 0.82 M. The electrodeposition was performed on carbon steel AISI 1020 with a current density of 10 mA.cm-2. The electroplating solution composition was 0.10 M ZnCl2, 2.80 M KCl and 0.32 M H3BO3. Electrodeposition time was 17.56 min, 5 µm thick coating, equivalent to the mass of 7.166E-3 g of zinc on the steel surface. Evaluation of the corrosion resistance was performed by means of the electrochemical tests of Anodic Voltammetry, Potentiodynamic Polarization and Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) as well as Weight Loss tests in NaCl 0.5 M in 4 (four) different period of immersion. The morphology and microstructures of electrodeposited were analyzed using the techniques of Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Spectrometry X-Ray Diffraction (XRD). The presence of glycerol in the electrodeposition bath decreased the deposition efficiency; however, it increased corrosion resistance and promoted the formation of more compact and refined electrodeposited coatings. Moreover, the results showed that the corrosion rate does not vary linearly with the addition of glycerol.

Aqueous zinc-ion batteries have emerged as promising candidates for safe and cost-effective energy storage, yet their performance remains constrained by electrode stability and electrolyte composition. In this study, we investigate the electrochemical behavior of various electrode materials in utilizing water-in-salt dual-ion electrolytes. Our findings highlight the critical influence of substrate materials on electrochemical stability, with titanium exhibiting superior anodic stability compared to, e.g., aluminum. Furthermore, we demonstrate the feasibility of LiFePO4 as a positive electrode, revealing a redox potential of 1.17 V vs. Zn²⁺/Zn in chloride-based electrolyte, which shifts positively with increasing lithium concentration. The observed potential variation with electrolyte composition underscores the need for optimized formulations to enhance the battery performance. Additionally, while LiMnPO4 offers a higher theoretical voltage, its cycling stability remains limited, suggesting that material modifications are necessary. Finally, we highlight the overlooked impact of electrolyte impurities on battery performance, emphasizing the importance of high-purity electrolyte components. These insights contribute to the development of more stable and efficient Zn-ion batteries, paving the way for their practical deployment in energy storage applications.
