In order to improve the electrochemical performance of AMV, the particle size of as-prepared AMV is decreased to nanoscale by re-precipitation in the water-ethanol solution. The results of the electrochemical impedance spectra and the 4-pin probe measurements show that the electrical conductivity of AMV is improved by decreasing the particle size. The nanoparticle AMV shows higher initial discharge capacity and energy density than the as-prepared AMV when cycled at 0.5C. On the other hand, the nanoparticle AMV exhibits higher rate capability than the as-prepared AMV.展开更多

文摘Iron overload has been evidenced to contribute to obesity-associated metabolic disorders,including insulin resistance.Strategies to reduce iron levels might help manage the metabolic complications associated with obesity.Here,it is demonstrated that the specific accumulation of oleic acid-modified polyoxovanadates(OPOVs)in adipose tissue leads to the reduction of iron concentrations in adipocytes in mice fed with a high-fat diet(HFD).Conjugation of oleic acids to polyoxovanadates enables tissue-specific depletion of iron from white adipose tissue(WAT)by OPOVs,protecting mice from HFD-induced obesity and obesity-associated metabolic deteriorations.Glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity are improved in OPOV-treated mice,which demonstrates that the OPOV-induced iron depletion can reverse the metabolic degeneration caused by HFD-induced obesity.Furthermore,a decrease in expression of the marker genes of iron overload suggests the participation of OPOVs in maintaining iron homeostasis and a potential medical application of vanadium clusters in targeting the iron overload caused by obesity.These findings underscore the potential of vanadate-based clusters tailored to address the complex interplay between iron metabolism and metabolic health.

文摘Polyoxovanadates(POVs)are widely used in various fields,making it crucial to understand the electronic properties for their optimal applications.In this study,the electronic structures of fully-oxidized vanadate anions[V_(n)O_(m)]^(3-/4-)(n=1–5,m=4,7,9,12,14),including[VO_(4)]^(3-),[V_(2)O_(7)]^(4-),[V_(3)O_(9)]^(3-),[V_(4)O_(12)]^(4-),and[V_(5)O_(14)]^(3-),were investigated using density functional theory(DFT)calculations.A comprehensive analysis was conducted on the bond lengths,Wiberg bond index(WBI),bond critical points(BCPs),and covalent composition of these vanadates.The interaction between V―O_(t)and V―O_(b)in studied[V_(n)O_(m)]^(3-/4-)can be viewed as the combination of covalent bond and ionic bond.With an increase in the number of vanadium atoms,the V―O bond lengths decrease,while the covalent composition of V―O bonds increase.In addition,the covalent components of V―O_(t)are larger than those of corresponding V―O_(b).The analysis on charge density indicates that the charge density of cluster decreases as the size of the clusters increases,resulting in a corresponding increase in stability.This study enhances the understanding of the electronic properties of POVs,and the trends indentified are expected to provide valuable information for applications of POVs.

文摘Obesity,characterized by the dysregulation of energy balance in adipose tissue and other metabolic organs,is frequently accompanied by chronic low-grade inflammation.As long-acting insulin sensitizers,the organically-derivatized polyoxovanadates(POVs),can extend the dosing interval of antidiabetic drugs from hourly to almost daily.In this work,the protective activity of POVs is investigated by an eight-week in vivo experiment,in which a small amount of POVs was administrated orally to a mouse model of dietinduced obesity every day.The present study shows that administration of POVs significantly decreases the body weight of mice,reduces adipose tissue accumulation,and simultaneously reduces adipose tissue inflammation.In addition,the anti-obesogenic population of i NKT cells is protected potentially by POVs,which subsequently alleviates visceral adipose tissue inflammation in high-fat-diet(HFD)-fed mice against diet-induced obesity.By contrast,the change in body weight after POV treatment is the result of a substantial reduction in fat mass,with no obvious effects on lean body mass.These findings demonstrate that supplementary of POVs would be an effective way to combat obesity and metabolic disorders while lowering metabolic inflammation.

文摘A bottleneck in biomimetic synthesis consists in the full copy of,for example,the hierarchical structure of proteins directed by weak interactions.By contrast with covalent bonds bearing definite orientation and high stability,weak intermolecular forces within a continuous dynamic equilibrium can be hardly tamed for molecular design.In this endeavor,a ligand-dominated strategy that embodies tunable electrostatic repulsion andπ···πstacking was first employed to shape polyoxovanadate-based metal-organic polyhedra(VMOPs).Structural evolution involving transformation,interlock,and discovery of an unprecedented prototype of the Star of David was hence achievable.Not only as a handy tool for the primary structural control over VMOPs,these weak forces allow for an advanced management on the spatial distribution of such manmade macromolecules as well as the associated physicochemical behaviors,representing an ideal model for simulating and interpreting the conformation-function relationship of proteins.
文摘The polyoxovanadate（NH4）7[MnV13O38]（AMV） was synthesized and characterized by X-ray diffraction pattern, Fourier transform infrared spectra, and field emission scanning electron microscope equipped with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. In order to improve the electrochemical performance of AMV, the particle size of as-prepared AMV is decreased to nanoscale by re-precipitation in the water-ethanol solution. The results of the electrochemical impedance spectra and the 4-pin probe measurements show that the electrical conductivity of AMV is improved by decreasing the particle size. The nanoparticle AMV shows higher initial discharge capacity and energy density than the as-prepared AMV when cycled at 0.5C. On the other hand, the nanoparticle AMV exhibits higher rate capability than the as-prepared AMV.

文摘Multifunctional compatible stealth materials have emerged as the focal point of contemporary protection technology research and vanadium-based nanomaterials play a pivotal role in the development of advanced stealth materials.Here,a compatible stealth aerogel is successfully synthesized by employing mixed-valence decavanadate as the vanadium oxide(VO_(x))molecular model.Ultralight{V^(Ⅳ)VV_(9)}/MXene aerogel(0.0429 g cm^(-3))exhibits exceptional radar stealth performance with a minimal reflection loss(RL_(min))of−57.74 dB(99.9998%EMW absorption)and a significantly superior radar cross section reduction value of 26.77 dB m2.The aerogel’s exceptional properties,including a low infrared(IR)emissivity(0.479)and a low thermal conductivity of(32.30 mW m^(-1)K^(-1)),are crucial for enabling compatibility with IR and thermal stealth technologies.The presence of a mixed-valence polyoxovanadate cluster leads to an increase in the Schottky barrier and enhances magnetic properties,consequently boosting interfacial polarization and contributing to magnetic losses during electromagnetic wave(EMW)absorption.Consequently,altering the number of valence electrons significantly enhances the compatible stealth capabilities.These findings contribute significantly to our comprehension of how microstructure impacts EMW absorption processes and provide a basis for further research into the development of VO_(x)-based compatible stealth materials.

文摘Precise control over metal-organic polyhedra(MOPs)architectures via metal and organic linker engineering presents a critical challenge for advancing functional porous materials with specific properties.The rational design of organic linkers and secondary building units(SBUs)with programmable configurational features facilitates the assembly of novel MOPs,wherein structural complexity is enhanced through the integration of low-symmetry linkers and expandable SBUs.Herein,a series of polyoxovanadatebased metal-organic polyhedra(VMOPs)with modulated structures were systematically engineered through linker desymmetrization and SBU expansion approach.Two types of tritopic triazine(D_(3h))-or imidazole(C_(s)/C_(1))-functionalized carboxylate ligands assemble with 3-connected prototype{V_(6)S}or expansional{V_(6)P}clusters,yielding VMOPs that exhibit structural evolution from T_(d)-symmetric regular tetrahedrons to D_(2d)-symmetric isosceles variants.Expansion of vertex clusters leads to structural fine-tuning of VMOPs,giving rise to diverse ligand conformations.Interestingly,these VMOPs exhibit significant differences during the iodine adsorption in both n-hexane solution and gaseous phases,which can be explained by the comprehensive influence of their cavity volume,the functional groups included,and the stacking arrangement.These findings demonstrate an effective structure-designing strategy via regulation of ligand symmetry and SBU architectural features,providing a powerful approach for the customized synthesis of MOPs with tailored structures and functionalities.

文摘Obesity is closely related with insulin resistance and chronic inflammation.Here,we report that unsaturated lipid-modified polyoxovanadates(ULPOVs)can restrict weight gain of diet-induced obese mice and improve their glycemic control and obesity-associated inflammation.Oral administration of the sub-nanosized ULPOVs at a low dosage for 7 weeks reduces the body weight and almost normalizes the blood glucose levels of obese mice fed on a high-fat diet.ULPOV treatment increases the activity of the nuclear receptor peroxisome proliferator-activated receptorγ(PPARγ)and reduces intestinal caloric intake,which may be the main reason for blood sugar and body weight control.In addition to insulin-sensitizing,PPARγactivation induced by ULPOV treatment in obese mice with atopic dermatitis(AD)promotes the type 2 T helper(TH_(2))cell selective responses and therapeutic effects on immune dysregulation caused by obesity.These data suggest sub-nanosized polyoxovanadate clusters as a class of potential candidates to relieve symptoms accompanied by diet-induced obesity.
