文摘Zinc-ion hybrid supercapacitors(ZHSs)are promising energy storage systems integrating high energy density and high-power density,whereas they are plagued by the poor electrochemical stability and inferior kinetics of zinc anodes.Herein,we report an electrolyte additive-assembled interconnecting molecules-zinc anode interface,realizing highly stable and fast-kinetics zinc anodes for ZHSs.The sulfobutyl groups-graftedβ-cyclodextrin(SC)supramolecules as a trace additive in ZnSO_(4)electrolytes not only adsorb on zinc anodes but also self-assemble into an interconnecting molecule interface benefiting from the mutual attraction between the electron-rich sulfobutyl group and the electron-poor cavity of the adjacent SC supramolecule.The interconnecting molecules-zinc anode interface provides abundant anion-trapping cavities and zincophilic groups to enhance Zn^(2+)transference number and homogenize Zn^(2+)deposition sites,and meanwhile,it accelerates the desolvation of hydrated Zn^(2+)to improve zinc deposition kinetics and inhibit active water molecules from inducing parasitic reactions at the zinc deposition interface,making zinc anodes present superior reversibility with 99.7%Coulombic efficiency,~30 times increase in operation lifetime and an outstanding cumulative capacity at large current densities.ZHSs with 20,000-cycle life and optimized rate capability are thereby achieved.This work provides an inspiring strategy for designing zinc anode interfaces to promote the development of ZHSs.

文摘Immune adjuvants are extremely important in tumor vaccines,which can amplify antigen-specific immune responses and enhance anti-tumor efficacy.Nevertheless,well-designed adjuvants and rational combination of adjuvants and antigens still remain a challenge in tumor vaccines.In this study,we designed and formulated carrier-free double-adjuvant nanoparticles(FPC-NPs)by self-assembling of fluoroalkane-grafted polyethylenimide(PEI)(Toll-like receptor 4(TLR4)agonist)and cytosine-phosphateguanine(CpG)(TLR9 agonist),and then obtained personalized tumor vaccines(FPC-NPs@TAAs)by electrostatic adsorption of tumor-associated antigens(TAAs)on the surface of FPC-NPs.The results showed that FPC-NPs@TAAs could promote cellular internalization of adjuvants,deliver antigens and adjuvants to the same antigen-presenting cell,which can effectively activate dendritic cells,encourage cross-presentation of antigens,and reduce the proportion of M2-type macrophages.Our work presents a simple method to realize the dual adjuvant combination of TLR4 and TLR9 via well-designed carrier-free nanoparticles,showing great promise for developing personalized tumor vaccines to enhance the efficacy of immunotherapy.

文摘A mixed oxidant of chlorine dioxide(ClO_(2))and NaClO was often used in water treatment.A novel UVA-LED(_(365) nm)-activated mixed ClO_(2)/NaClO process was proposed for the degradation of micropollutants in this study.Carbamazepine(CBZ)was selected as the target pollutant.Compared with the UVA_(365)/ClO_(2) process,the UVA_(365)/ClO_(2)/NaClO process can improve the degradation of CBZ,with the rate constant increasing from 2.11×10^(−4) sec^(−1) to 2.74×10^(−4) sec^(−1).In addition,the consumption of oxidants in the UVA_(365)/ClO_(2)/NaClO process(73.67%)can also be lower than that of UVA_(365)/NaClO(86.42%).When the NaClO ratio increased,both the degradation efficiency of CBZ and the consumption of oxidants can increase in the UVA_(365)/ClO_(2)/NaClO process.The solution pH can affect the contribution of NaClO in the total oxidant ratio.When the pH range of 6.0-8.0,the combination process can generate more active species to promote the degradation of CBZ.The change of active species with oxidant molar ratio was investigated in the UVA_(365)/ClO_(2)/NaClO process.When ClO_(2) acted as the main oxidant,HO·and Cl·were the main active species,while when NaClO was the main oxidant,ClO·played a role in the system.Both chloride ion(Cl^(-)),bicarbonate ion(HCO_(3)^(-)),and nitrate ion(NO_(3)^(-))can promote the reaction system.As the concentration of NaClO in the reaction solution increased,the generation of chlorates will decrease.The UVA_(365)/ClO_(2)/NaClO process can effectively control the formation of volatile disinfection by-products(DBPs),and with the increase of ClO_(2) dosage,the formation of DBPs can also decrease.

文摘Based upon the thiophene-2,5-dicarboxylic acid(H_(2)Tdc),a novel[Sc_(3)(μ_(2)-OH)_(3)(CO_(2))_(4)O_(6)]n inorganic chain-based Sc-MOF with decorated nitrate ions,{[Sc_(3)(OH)_(2)(Tdc)_(3)(NO_(3))]⋅H_(2)O}_(∞)(AEU-1;AEU for Army Engineering University of PLA),was synthesized,which shows good water and chemical stabilities.Significantly,due to channel constriction accompanied by the polar window caused by introducing nitrate ions,AEU-1 exhibits high C_(2)H_(6)/C_(2)H_(4)adsorption selectivity comparable to many famous C_(2)H_(6)-selective MOFs,making it a promising candidate for the purification of methanol-to-olefin(MTO)products.Furthermore,theoretical investigations reveal that the introduced nitrate ions in AEU-1 as the main adsorption sites could provide strong interactions between the framework and C2H6/C3H6 in the full-contacting mode,leading to an increase in the adsorption enthalpies(Qst)of C_(2)H_(6)and C_(3)H_(6),and thus further improving the C_(2)H_(6)/C_(2)H_(4)and C_(3)H_(6)/C_(2)H_(4)adsorption selectivity.Our work could open up a new avenue for constructing MOFs with inorganic polar moieties as adsorption sites for one-step C_(2)H_(4)purification and C3H6 recovery from MTO mixtures with high selectivity.

文摘Specnuezhenide(SNZ)is among the main components of Fructus Ligustri Lucidi,which has antiinflammation,anti-oxidation,and anti-tumor effect.The low bioavailability makes it difficult to explain the mechanism of pharmacological effect of SNZ.In this study,the role of the gut microbiota in the metabolism and pharmacokinetics characteristics of SNZ as well as the pharmacological meaning were explored.SNZ can be rapidly metabolized by the gut microbiome,and two intestinal bacterial metabolites of SNZ,salidroside and tyrosol,were discovered.In addition,carboxylesterase may be the main intestinal bacterial enzyme that mediates its metabolism.At the same time,no metabolism was found in the incubation system of SNZ with liver microsomes or liver homogenate,indicating that the gut microbiota is the main part involved in the metabolism of SNZ.In addition,pharmacokinetic studies showed that salidroside and tyrosol can be detected in plasma in the presence of gut microbiota.Interestingly,tumor development was inhibited in a colorectal tumor mice model administered orally with SNZ,which indicated that SNZ exhibited potential to inhibit tumor growth,and tissue distribution studies showed that salidroside and tyrosol could be distributed in tumor tissues.At the same time,SNZ modulated the structure of gut microbiota and fungal group,which may be the mechanism governing the antitumoral activity of SNZ.Furthermore,SNZ stimulates the secretion of short-chain fatty acids by intestinal flora in vitro and in vivo.In the future,targeting gut microbes and the interaction between natural products and gut microbes could lead to the discovery and development of new drugs.

文摘Although widely used in permeation reaction barrier(PRB)for strengthening the removal of various heavy metals,zero-valent iron(ZVI)is limited by various inherent drawbacks,such as easy passivation and poor electron transfer.As a solution,a synergistic system with PRB and electrokinetics(PRB-EK)was established and applied for the efficient removal of Cr(Ⅵ)-contaminated groundwater.As the filling material of PRB,ZVI/Fe_(3)O_(4)/activated carbon(ZVI/Fe_(3)O_(4)/AC)composites were synthesized by ball milling and thermal treatment.A series of continuous flow column experiments and batch tests was conducted to evaluate the removal efficiency of Cr(Ⅵ).Results showed that the removal efficiency of Cr(Ⅵ)remained above 93%even when the bed volume(BV)reached 2000 under the operational parameters(iron/AC mass ratio,2:1;current,5 m A).The mechanism of Cr(Ⅵ)removal by the PRB-EK system was revealed through field emission scanning electron microscopy images,X-ray diffraction,X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy,Fe^(2+) concentration,and redox potential(E h)values.The key in Cr(Ⅵ)reduction was the Fe^(2+)/Fe^(3+) cycle driven by the surface microelectrolysis of the composites.The application of an externally supplied weak direct current maintained the redox process by enhancing the electron transfer capability of the system,thereby prolonging the column lifetime.Cr(Ⅵ)chemical speciation was determined through sequential extraction,verifying the stability and safety of the system.These findings provide a scientific basis for PRB design and the in-situ remediation of Cr(Ⅵ)-contaminated groundwater.

文摘Non-thermal plasma(NTP)surface modification technology is a new method to control the surface properties of materials,which has been widely used in the field of environmental protection because of its short action time,simple process and no pollution.In this study,Cu/ACF(activated carbon fiber loaded with copper)adsorbent was modified with NTP to remove H_(2)S and PH_(3) simultaneously under low temperature and micro-oxygen condition.Meanwhile,the effects of different modified atmosphere(air,N_(2) and NH_(3)),specific energy input(0–13 J/mL)and modification time(0–30 min)on the removal of H_(2)S and PH_(3) were investigated.Performance test results indicated that under the same reaction conditions,the adsorbent modified by NH_(3) plasma with 5 J/mL for 10 min had the best removal effect on H_(2)S and PH_(3).CO_(2) temperature-programmed desorption and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS)analyzes showed that NH_(3) plasma modification could introduce amino functional groups on the surface of the adsorbent,and increase the types and number of alkaline sites on the surface.Brunauer-Emmett-Teller and scanning electron microscopy showed that NH_(3) plasma modification did not significantly change the pore size structure of the adsorbent,but more active components were evenly exposed to the surface,thus improving the adsorption performance.In addition,X-ray diffraction and XPS analysis indicated that the consumption of active components(Cu and Cu_(2)O)and the accumulation of sulfate and phosphate on the surface and inner pores of the adsorbent are the main reasons for the deactivation of the adsorbent.
