Over recent decades, carbon-based chemical sensor technologies have advanced significantly. Nevertheless, significant opportunities persist for enhancing analyte recognition capabilities, particularly in complex environments. Conventional monovariable sensors exhibit inherent limitations, such as susceptibility to interference from coexisting analytes, which results in response overlap. Although sensor arrays, through modification of multiple sensing materials, offer a potential solution for analyte recognition, their practical applications are constrained by intricate material modification processes. In this context, multivariable chemical sensors have emerged as a promising alternative, enabling the generation of multiple outputs to construct a comprehensive sensing space for analyte recognition, while utilizing a single sensing material. Among various carbon-based materials, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and graphene have emerged as ideal candidates for constructing high-performance chemical sensors, owing to their well-established batch fabrication processes, superior electrical properties, and outstanding sensing capabilities. This review examines the progress of carbon-based multivariable chemical sensors, focusing on CNTs/graphene as sensing materials and field-effect transistors as transducers for analyte recognition. The discussion encompasses fundamental aspects of these sensors, including sensing materials, sensor architectures, performance metrics, pattern recognition algorithms, and multivariable sensing mechanism. Furthermore, the review highlights innovative multivariable extraction schemes and their practical applications when integrated with advanced pattern recognition algorithms.

The ability to control the electrode interfaces in an electrochemical energy storage system is essential for achieving the desired electrochemical performance. However, achieving this ability requires an in-depth understanding of the detailed interfacial nanostructures of the electrode under electrochemical operating conditions. In-situ transmission electron microscopy (TEM) is one of the most powerful techniques for revealing electrochemical energy storage mechanisms with high spatiotemporal resolution and high sensitivity in complex electrochemical environments. These attributes play a unique role in understanding how ion transport inside electrode nanomaterials and across interfaces under the dynamic conditions within working batteries. This review aims to gain an in-depth insight into the latest developments of in-situ TEM imaging techniques for probing the interfacial nanostructures of electrochemical energy storage systems, including atomic-scale structural imaging, strain field imaging, electron holography, and integrated differential phase contrast imaging. Significant examples will be described to highlight the fundamental understanding of atomic-scale and nanoscale mechanisms from employing state-of-the-art imaging techniques to visualize structural evolution, ionic valence state changes, and strain mapping, ion transport dynamics. The review concludes by providing a perspective discussion of future directions of the development and application of in-situ TEM techniques in the field of electrochemical energy storage systems.

Progesterone (P4) is the optimal agent for luteal support in assisted reproductive technologies. Despite the availability of various formulations, the impacts of P4 treatment administered through different routes on offspring growth remain unevaluated. This study aimed to investigate and compare the effects of P4 administration through three different routes in pregnant rats during the teratogenesis-sensitive period on fertility outcomes and the behavior, plasma P4 and pregnenolone levels, and alterations in gut microbiota in the filial generation (F1) of offspring.
