Its main active components, magnolol (MG) and honokiol (HK), have excellent pharmacological actions, but little research has focused on the functional genes involved in the MG and HK metabolic pathways. In this study, using RNA-seq and gene expression profile, we present the first transcriptome characterization of M. officinalis leaves, twigs and stems. Based on similarity search against nonredundant protein databases, 30,660 contigs had at least a significant alignment to existing public database. Pathway analysis showed that 8707 contigs were assigned to 317 KEGG pathways. A second skeleton pathway with 14 putative homologous genes was also identified as involved in lignan biosynthesis. Expression profiles of these 14 genes showed that leaves and twigs seem to have higher transcript levels for lignan components than in stem tissue; this result was then verified by qRT-PCR. Our work will immensely facilitate metabolic research on lignan biosynthesis in M. officinalis.展开更多

文摘The notorious shuttle effect of polyiodides in aqueous Zinc-iodine(Zn-I2)batteries impedes their practical application,which renders it imperative to address this issue.Here,we report natural gelatin as an advanced aqueous binder for iodine-loading cathode to enable stable and efficient Zn-I_(2) batteries.The positively charged region in gelatin presents electrostatic attraction to the iodine species,while the electron-rich regions could donate electrons to form physical or even covalent bonds with iodine species,thus inhibiting polyiodides shuttle effect and boosting redox reaction.A high reversible capacity of 138 mAh g^(-1) after 3000 cycles at 2C and an ultra-long cycling stability of 30000 cycles at 25C with 107 mAh g^(-1) capacity was achieved.Gelatin binder also can accommodate high iodine-loading(~10 mg)cathode,punch cells,and severe temperature conditions(-10℃ and 60℃).In-situ UV-vis absorption spectroscopy,in-situ Raman spectra and theoretical calculation revealed the critical role of gelatin binder in suppressing polyiodide shuttling and accelerating reaction kinetics.This work uncovers the potential of natural low-cost binder material in advanced Zn-I_(2) batteries and drives future study of designing functional binders.

文摘The realization of high-efficiency photocatalysis is greatly meaningful to overcome the issues of current energy and environment,in which the core factor is the exploration of photocatalysts with promising semiconductor properties.The Cu-based metal sulfide photocatalysts of CuSbS_(2)and its derivative of bournonite CuPbSbS_(3)possess the features of earth-abundant elements,strong photostability,visiblelight range bandgap,and high absorption coefficient,possessing great potential for the realization of efficient photocatalytic applications.Although the photocatalysts of CuSbS_(2)and CuPbSbS_(3)have been investigated in photocatalysis application of hydrogen production and degradation,the exploration process is still in the early-development stage.In this review,the design concept and semiconductor properties of CuSbS_(2)and CuPbSbS_(3)are firstly introduced.Subsequently,the photocatalytic applications of CuSbS_(2)and CuPbSbS_(3)photocatalysts,mainly including hydrogen production and degradation,are systematically reviewed.Finally,the challenges and prospects for the further exploration of CuSbS_(2)and CuPbSbS_(3)photocatalysts are provided.

文摘Gel polymer electrolytes(GPEs)with high flame‐retardant concentration can remarkably reduce the thermal runaway risk of lithium metal batteries(LMBs).However,higher flame‐retardant content in GPEs always leads to increased leakage of active component and severe lithium corrosion,which greatly hinders the service life of LMBs.Herein,GPEs with high‐loading triphenyl phosphate(TPP)are originally fabricated by coaxial electrospinning and stabilized by dual confinement effects,including chemisorption of polyvinylidene fluoride‐hexafluoropropylene(PVDF‐HFP),and physical encapsulation of polyacrylonitrile(PAN)/PVDF‐HFP.These effects arise from the strong polar interactions between the−CF3 group in PVDF‐HFP and P=O group in TPP,as well as the superior anti‐swelling property of PAN.To mitigate TPP‐induced corrosion during cycling,the optimized Li anode is armored with LiF‐rich solid electrolyte interphase(SEI)layer through immersing it in fluoroethylene carbonate‐containing electrolyte.As expected,the corresponding Li||Li symmetric cells deliver long‐term stable cycling behavior over 2400 h at 0.5 mA cm−2,and the LiFePO4||Li batteries hold a high‐capacity retention ratio of 81.7%after 6000 cycles at 10 C with excellent flame retardancy.These findings offer new insight into designing the SEI layer for lithium metal in flame‐retardant electrolytes,thus promoting the development and application of high‐security LMBs.

文摘In this paper,a robust decoupled sliding mode control(RDSMC)is proposed for active suspension system(ASS)to balance the trade-off between ride comfort and road holding.The ASS is decoupled into two subsystems:a sprung-mass subsystem(regarding ride comfort)and an unsprung-mass subsystem(regarding road holding),which correspond to two prescribed performance tracking problems.Subsequently,an integrated control law is designed by introducing the unsprung-mass sliding surface into the control of the sprung-mass one.To reduce chattering and stabilize the subsystems,a prescribed-time extended disturbance observer(PT-EDO)is designed,achieving the time-varying switching gain RDSMC(TVSG-RDSMC).Numerical simulations imply that the proposed TVSG-RDSMC can effectively improve ride comfort and road holding with a significantly reduced chattering.

文摘Potassium-ion batteries(KIBs)have great potential for applications in large-scale energy storage devices.However,the larger radius of K+leads to sluggish kinetics and inferior cycling performance,severely restricting its practical applicability.Herein,we propose a rational strategy involving a Prussian blue analogue-derived graphitized carbon anode with fast and durable potassium storage capability,which is constructed by encapsulating cobalt nanoparticles in nitrogen-doped graphitized carbon(Co-NC).Both experimental and theoretical results show that N-doping effectively promotes the uniform dispersion of cobalt nanoparticles in the carbon matrix through Co-N bonds.Moreover,the cobalt nanoparticles and strong Co-N bonds synergistically form a threedimensional conductive network,increase the number of adsorption sites,and reduce the diffusion energy barrier,thereby facilitating the adsorption and the diffusion kinetics.These multiple effects lead to enhanced reversible capacities of 305 and 208.6 mAh g^−1 after 100 and 300 cycles at 0.05 and 0.1 A g^−1,respectively,demonstrating the applicability of the Co-NC anode for KIBs.

文摘Aqueous Zn-ion batteries(ZIBs)hold great potential in large-scale energy storage systems due to the merits of low-cost and high safety.However,the unstable structure of cathode materials and sluggish(de)intercalation kinetics of Zn2+pose challenges for further development.Herein,highly reversible aqueous ZIBs are constructed with layered hydrated vanadium oxide as a cathode material.The electrochemical performances are further tested with the optimized electrolyte of 3M Zn(CF3SO3)2 and a cut-off voltage of 0.4 to 1.3 V,exhibiting a remarkable capacity of 290mAh g−1 at 0.5Ag−1,and long-term cycling stability at high current density.Furthermore,the Zn2+storage mechanism of V3O7⋅H2O is recognized as a highly reversible(de)intercalation process with good structural stability,implying the potential application in the field of large-scale energy storage.

文摘Polyploid plants grow well,are stress tolerant,and are rich in nutrients and bioactive compounds.Thus,they are useful for improving crop quality and yield.In this study,we compared the seed characteristics and metabolite profiles of diploid and tetraploid tartary buckwheat,which was developed via an artificially induced chromosome doubling event.The length,width,area,and thousand-grain weight were greater for the tetraploid seeds than for the diploid seeds.However,the germination rate decreased for the tetraploid seeds.Additionally,there was a gap between the shell and kernel of the tetraploid seeds.Moreover,the water absorption rate was higher for the tetraploid than for the diploid seeds.Chromosome doubling increased the seed total flavonoid content and deepened the seed color.A principal component analysis of the ultrahigh-pressure liquid chromatography-high resolution mass spectrometry data revealed the clear separation between the diploid and tetraploid samples.An orthogonal partial least squares-discriminant analysis and other multivariate statistical analyses identified 83 differentially abundant compounds,with most of the flavonoid metabolites more abundant in the tetraploid than in the diploid seeds.Research on tartary buckwheat polyploidy may result in enhanced germplasm resources and may clarify the mechanism underlying the biosynthesis of bioactive compounds.

文摘Magnoliae officinalis is the plant source of houpo, a widely used traditional Chinese medicine to treat symptoms of gastrointestinal diseases. Its main active components, magnolol (MG) and honokiol (HK), have excellent pharmacological actions, but little research has focused on the functional genes involved in the MG and HK metabolic pathways. In this study, using RNA-seq and gene expression profile, we present the first transcriptome characterization of M. officinalis leaves, twigs and stems. Based on similarity search against nonredundant protein databases, 30,660 contigs had at least a significant alignment to existing public database. Pathway analysis showed that 8707 contigs were assigned to 317 KEGG pathways. A second skeleton pathway with 14 putative homologous genes was also identified as involved in lignan biosynthesis. Expression profiles of these 14 genes showed that leaves and twigs seem to have higher transcript levels for lignan components than in stem tissue; this result was then verified by qRT-PCR. Our work will immensely facilitate metabolic research on lignan biosynthesis in M. officinalis.

文摘Both sodium-ion batteries(SIBs)and potassium-ion batteries(PIBs)are considered as promising candidates in grid-level energy storage devices.Unfortunately,the larger ionic radii of K+and Na+induce poor diffusion kinetics and cycling stability of carbon anode materials.Pore structure regulation is an ideal strategy to promote the diffusion kinetics and cyclic stability of carbon materials by facilitating electrolyte infiltration,increasing the transport channels,and alleviating the volume change.However,traditional pore-forming agent-assisted methods considerably increase the difficulty of synthesis and limit practical applications of porous carbon materials.Herein,porous carbon materials(Ca-PC/Na-PC/K-PC)with different pore structures have been prepared with gluconates as the precursors,and the amorphous structure,abundant micropores,and oxygen-doping active sites endow the Ca-PC anode with excellent potassium and sodium storage performance.For PIBs,the capacitive contribution ratio of Ca-PC is 82%at 5.0 mV s^(-1) due to the introduction of micropores and high oxygen-doping content,while a high reversible capacity of 121.4 mAh g^(-1) can be reached at 5 A g^(-1) after 2000 cycles.For SIBs,stable sodium storage capacity of 101.4 mAh g^(-1) can be achieved at 2 A g^(-1) after 8000 cycles with a very low decay rate of 0.65%for per cycle.This work may provide an avenue for the application of porous carbon materials in the energy storage field.

文摘High-efficiency seawater electrolysis is impeded by the low activity and low durability of oxygen evolution catalysts due to the complex composition and competitive side reactions in seawater.Herein,a heterogeneousstructured catalyst is constructed by depositing NiFe-layered double hydroxides(NiFe-LDH)on the substrate of MXene(V_(2)CT_(x))modified Ni foam(NF),and abbreviated as NiFe-LDH/V_(2)CT_(x)/NF.As demonstrated,owing to the intrinsic negative charge characteristic of V_(2)CT_(x),chlorine ions are denied entry to the interface between NiFeLDH and V_(2)CT_(x)/NF substrate,thus endowing NiFe-LDH/V_(2)CT_(x)/NF catalyst with high corrosion resistance and durable stability for 110 h at 500 mA cm^(-2).Meanwhile,the two-dimensional structure and high electrical conductivity of V_(2)CT_(x) can respectively enlarge the electrochemical active surface area and guarantee fast charge transfer,thereby synergistically promoting the catalytic performance of NiFe-LDH/V_(2)CT_(x)/NF in both deionized water electrolyte(261 m V at 100 m A cm^(-2))and simulated seawater electrolyte(241 mV at 100 mA cm^(-2)).This work can guide the preparation of oxygen evolution catalysts and accelerate the industrialization of seawater electrolysis.
文摘A new type of covalent organic framework(COF)was achieved using combination of structrally rigid and conformationally othorganal building blocks.The N-2-aryl-substituted triazole derivative(NAT-CHO)was prepared with co-planar conformation among the three aromatic rings as the“flat”building block.The 4,4,4,4-(ethene-1,1,2,2-tetrayl)tetraaniline)(ETTA)was applied as the“twist”building block.A 2 D sheet of network was obtained through imine formation.The resulting NAT-COF gave excellent thermal and chemical stability,survived aqueous solutions from p H 5 to 13.With large-size building blocks,the porous framework NAT-COF gave efficient gas adsorption with excellent selectivity of C3 propane over C1 me-thane,suggesting its potential application for selective gas capture and separation.
