- Advanced electrolyte engineering is an important strategy for developing high-efficacy lithium (Li) metal batteries (LMBs). Unfortunately, the current electrolytes limit the scope for creating batteries that perform well over temperature ranges. Here, we present a new electrolyte design that uses fluorosulfonyl carboxylate as a non-solvating solvent to form difluoroxalate borate (DFOB-) anion-rich solvation sheath, to realize high-performance working of temperature-tolerant LMBs. With this optimized electrolyte, favorable SEI and CEI chemistries on Li metal anode and nickel-rich cathode are achieved, respectively, leading to fast Li+ transfer kinetics, dendrite-free Li deposition and suppressed electrolyte deterioration. Therefore, Li||LiNi0.80Co0.15Al0.05O2 batteries with a thin Li foil (50 μm) show a long-term cycling lifespan over 400 cycles at 1 C and a superior capacity retention of 90% after 200 cycles at 0.5 C under 25 ℃. Moreover, this electrolyte extends the operating temperature from -10 to 30 ℃ and significantly improve the capacity retention and Coulombic efficiency of batteries are improved at high temperature (60 ℃). Fluorosulfonyl carboxylates thus have considerable potential for use in high-performance and all-weather LMBs, which broadens the new exploring of electrolyte design.

- Introduction: Human adenovirus 7 (HAdV-7) is an important viral pathogen of severe pneumonia in children and a serious threat to health. Methods: A cohort of 45 pediatric patients diagnosed with HAdV-7-associated severe pneumonia and admitted to the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit at the Children's Hospital of Chongqing Medical University from May 2018 to January 2020 were included. Risk factors of death were analyzed by the Cox proportional risk mode with Clinical data, serum, and nasopharyngeal aspirate adenovirus load, Genome analysis, Olink proteomics, and cytokine profile between dead and surviving patients were also analyzed. Results: A total of 45 children with a median age of 12.0 months (interquartile range [IQR]: 6.5, 22.0) were included (female 14), including 14 (31.1%) who died. High serum viral load was an independent risk factor for mortality (hazard ratio [HR] = 2.16, 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.04-4.49, p = 0.039). BTB and CNC homology 1 (BACH1), interleukin-5 (IL-5), and IL-9 levels were significantly correlated with serum viral load (p = 0.0400, 0.0499, and 0.0290; r = 0.4663, 0.3339, and -0.3700, respectively), with significant differences between the dead and survival groups (p = 0.021, 0.001, and 0.021). Conclusions: Severe cytokine storm-associated high serum viral load after HAdV-7 infection may be the main mechanism responsible for poor prognosis in children.
