Although several patterning methods, such as lithography, spray-masking and laser cutting, have been used for facile fabrication of those devices, the complicated processing and excessive material consumption in these protocols limit the scalable production of flexible devices. [4] So far, it remains a significant challenge to achieve multifunctional devices such as EMI shielding, [5] Joule heater, [6] sensor, [7][8][9] radio frequency identification (RFID) tags, [10] and energy storage unit [11] by using simple and low-cost methods. In addition, seeking a suitable material is vital to develop and design high-performance multifunctional devices in low cost.Recent progress in liquid-phase exfoliation of two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials has highlighted the rational design of functional inks for additive manufacturing of high-performance devices with complex architectures based on printing strategies, such as screen printing, gravure printing and inkjet printing. [12] Screen printing among them is of critical importance to manufacture integrated multifunctional devices by formulating functional inks, without using expensive and complicate equipment. [13] Specially, screen printing provides the highest deposition rate (per unit time deposition material weight) than other printing technologies. [14] One of the main challenges lies in formulation of functional inks with appropriate rheological properties, which are prerequisite for screenprinting multifunctional devices with high resolution. [15,16] As a new family of 2D layered transition metal carbides or nitrides, MXenes have become promising candidate for formulation of printable inks because of their remarkable electronic, optical, and mechanical properties. [17] Generally, MXenes are usually synthesized by selectively etching A layer in the precursor of MAX phase. They can be represented by M n+1 X n T x , where M is the early transition metal, X stands for carbon and/ or nitrogen, and T x represents the terminal hydroxyl, oxygen, or fluorine groups. [18,19] As a result, MXenes offer solution processing capabilities owing to their superior hydrophilicity and high negative surface charge. [20] Clay-like behavior of MXene slurry and the formation of stable colloidal suspension have thus facilitated the fabrication of conducting films, nanocomposites, coatings and fibers for applications in energy MXenes have exhibited potential for application in flexible devices owing to their remarkable electronic, optical, and mechanical properties. Printing strategies have emerged as a facile route for additive manufacturing of MXene-based devices, which relies on the rational design of functional inks with appropriate rheological properties. Herein, aqueous MXene/xanthan gum hybrid inks with tunable viscosity, excellent printability, and long-term stability are designed. Screen-printed flexible MXene films using such hybrid inks exhibit a high conductivity up to 4.8 × 10 4 S m −1 , which is suitable to construct multifunctional devices mainly including electromagnetic shield...

Ecological compensation standards and the allocation of compensation funds have always been the core issues of watershed ecological compensation. Due to the construction of the Eastern Route of the South-to-North Water Transfer Project (SNWTP), Jiangsu Province has paid a huge cost for the protection of water resources, and local economic development has been greatly affected. Therefore, this paper takes Jiangsu Province, the water source area of the Eastern Route of the SNWTP as an example, and combines a geographic information system (GIS) and remote sensing technology, using the ecosystem services value method to calculate the ecosystem services value of Jiangsu Province from 2005 to 2018. Then the change of this ecosystem services value in Jiangsu Province from 2015 to 2018 is taken as the basis for watershed ecological compensation standards of the Eastern Route. Through a compensation fund allocation model, watershed ecological compensation funds are allocated to four cities, Yangzhou, Huai’an, Suqian and Xuzhou, which are located along the Eastern Route of this SNWTP in Jiangsu Province. The results show that: (1) The ecosystem services value of Jiangsu Province has changed greatly. Urbanization and market environment of grain crops are the main reasons for this change; (2) the relationship between ecosystem services in Jiangsu Province is mainly synergistic; (3) Suqian receives US$24.73 million; Huai’an receives US$16.49 million; Yangzhou receives US$54.88 million and Xuzhou receives US$0.95 million in watershed ecological compensation, respectively. Watershed ecological compensation standards based upon the value of ecosystem services, and the allocation of compensation funds at the municipal level, are conducive to the improvement in efficiency of watershed ecological compensation in mainland China.

IntroductionAccording to our clinical experience, cellulitis is common in summer; however, very few studies have mentioned this trend.MethodsUsing Google Trends, we analyzed the monthly data of Google searches for “cellulitis” from 31 countries on 6 continents.ResultsSeasonality explained 34%–92% of the variability in search volume, with peaks occurring in summer months.ConclusionThe analyses offered new insights into the epidemiology of cellulitis on national and international scales. Clinical data are needed to validate the Internet search data.

Dielectric capacitors are an essential passive component widely used in integrated circuits. Recently, inkjet printing of 2D nanosheets into highly insulating layers has been developed for capacitor applications. However, the relatively low dielectric constant inherently associated with 2D nanosheets will hinder the rational design of high‐performance capacitor devices. In this work, the inks of high‐k Ca2NaNb4O13 perovskite nanosheets are formulated, and all‐printed dielectric capacitor consisting of Ca2NaNb4O13 films with commercial Ag electrodes is demonstrated. An average areal capacitance of ≈21 nF cm−2, together with low current density (<10−7 A cm−2) and low dielectric loss (≈2%), is achieved for the dielectric layer with thickness of ≈2 µm. The research shows that high‐k perovskite nanosheets have a great potential for applications in ink‐based additive manufacturing of flexible electronic devices.
