METHODS： EGS directed against chloromycetin acetyl transferase gene （cat） was cloned to vector pEGFP-C1 which contains the kanamycin （Kin） resistance gene. The recombinant plasmid pEGFP-C1＋EGScatl＋cat2 was constructed and the blank vector without EGS fragment was used as control plasmids. By using the CaCl2 transformation method, the recombinant plasmids were introduced into the clinically isolated Cm resistant but Km sensitive E coli strains. Transformants were screened on LB agar plates containing Kin. Extraction of plasmids and PCR were applied to identify the positive clones. The growth curve of EGS transformed bacteria cultured in broth with Cm resistance was determined by using spectrophotometer at A600. Drug sensitivity was tested in solid culture containing Cm by using KB method. RESULTS： Transformation studies were carried out on 16 clinically isolated Cm-resistant （250 μg/mL of Cm） E colistrains by using pEGFP-C1-EGScatlcat2 recombinant plasmid. Transformants were screened on LB-agar plates containing Km after the transformation using EGS. Of the 16 tested strains, 4 strains were transformed successfully. Transformants with EGS plasmid showed growth inhibition when grown in liquid broth culture containing 200 μg/mL of Cm. In drug sensitivity test, these strains were sensitive to Cm on LB-agar plates containing 200 μg/mL of Cm. Extraction of plasmids and PCR amplification showed the existence of EGS plasmids in these four transformed strains. These results indicated that the Cat of the four clinical isolates had been suppressed and the four strains were converted to Cm sensitive ones. CONCLUSION： The EGS directed against Cat is able to inhibit the expression of Cat, and hence convert Cm- resistant bacteria to Cm-sensitive ones. Thus, the EGS has the capability of converting the phenotype of clinical drug-resistant isolates strains to drug-sensitive ones.展开更多

文摘CO_(2)reduction technology can promote the resource utilization of carbon and help alleviate global warming and energy supply pressure.It is an effective way to achieve energy conversion and utilization.Covalent organic frameworks(COFs)are porous crystalline materials formed by connecting organic monomers through covalent bonds.They have the characteristics of functional diversity and rich chemical properties.Their advantages,such as high porosity,a wide range of visible light absorption,and excellent charge separation efficiency,give them good potential in CO_(2)capture,separation,and conversion.Currently,Cu is a key metal in the catalytic CO_(2)reduction reaction(CO_(2)RR)for the preparation of high-value-added chemicals.The preparation of highly stable and large-pore Cu-based COFs using COFs as an ideal sacrificial template for loading Cu can be used to develop high-performance electrocatalysts and photocatalysts.In this review,we discuss the latest advancements in this field,including the development of various Cu-based COFs and their applications as catalysts for CO_(2)RR.Here,we mainly introduce the synthesis strategies,some important characterization information,and the applications of electrocatalytic and photocatalytic CO_(2)conversion using these previously reported Cu-based COFs.

文摘Artificial synthesis is an environment friendly photocatalytic strategy to converse carbon dioxide(CO_(2))into useful chemicals.However,water(H_(2)O)splitting,producing(hydrogen)H_(2) strongly,is always a competitive reaction to CO_(2) conversion.Therefore,proper cocatalysts are generally needed to enhance CO_(2) conversion but suppress H_(2) production.In this work,zinc/gallium(Zn/Ga)dual co-catalysts consisting of Zn0 and amorphous ZnGa_(2)O_(4) species were found to selectively produce carbon monoxide(CO)during the photocatalytic conversion of carbon dioxide(CO_(2))using water(H_(2)O)as an electron donor over photocatalysts such as NaTaO_(3),Ga_(2)O_(3),and ZnGa_(2)O_(4),and in the electrochemical reduction of CO_(2) over Zn0 electrodes.It is considered that there are two effects associated with the Zn/Ga dual co-catalysts:(1)a galvanic cell effect between Zn0 and amorphous ZnGa_(2)O_(4),and(2)a Z-scheme effect in NaTaO_(3)/Zn0/amorphous ZnGa_(2)O_(4).The coupling of these two effects favored the active and selective evolution of CO during the photocatalytic conversion of CO_(2) by H_(2)O.In the case of Ga_(2)O_(3) photocatalyst,480.8μmol/h of CO was produced with the presence of Zn/Ga dual cocatalysts.Moreover,the Zn/Ga dual cocatalysts universally worked in the electrochemical reduction of CO_(2).The partial current toward CO_(2) conversion was increased from 2.6 to 6.6 mA/cm,and the selectivity toward CO was promoted to from 46.4%to 74.2%.

文摘Transcription factor-mediated cell conversion has been reported in the central nervous system of both rodents and nonhuman primates.In particular,glia-to-neuron conversion has been achieved in the brain and spinal cord of animal models for neural regeneration and repair.However,whether glia-to-neuron conversion can be used for brain repair in humans needs to be explored.To investigate the use of glia-to-neuron conversion technology in the human brain,we established a long-term ex vivo culture system using human brain tissue that was surgically removed from epileptic patients to test glia-to-neuron conversion directly.We found that neural transcription factors NeuroD1 and Ascl1 both converted human glial cells into neurons.Immunostaining and electrophysiological recordings showed that the glia-converted neurons demonstrated immature properties during the initial 7-14 days of conversion,and then acquired more mature neuronal properties after 21-27 days of conversion.These ex vivo conversion studies in human brain tissue pave the way toward future clinical trials using a transcription factor-based glia-to-neuron conversion approach to treat neurological disorders.

文摘Anion exchange membrane fuel cells(AEMFCs) offer a sustainable energy solution with non-precious metal catalysts,reduced degradation,and fuel flexibility.However,the sluggish oxygen reduction reaction(ORR) at the cathode and durability concerns impede commercialization.To address these challenges,this study presents a dual-atomic SiFe-N-C catalyst derived from pinecones,a naturally abundant biomass resource.The catalyst features a nitrogen-rich porous carbon matrix that stabilizes Si-Fe dual-atomic sites during pyrolysis.Advanced analyses confirm Fe-Si and Fe-N bonds,which synergistically enhance ORR activity by optimizing electronic structures and intermediate adsorption energies.The SiFe-N-C catalyst surpasses Pt/C and Fe-N-C single-atom benchmarks with superior ORR activity and excellent long-term durability supported by high resistance to CO poisoning as well as methanol crossover.It also demonstrates a promising electrochemical performance as a catalytic material for the separator of Li-S battery.Mechanistic studies reveal that the Si-Fe dual-atomic configuration promotes an efficient Fe-O-O-Si pathway,reducing energy barriers and offering a cost-effective,high-performance solution for electrochemical energy conversion and storage applications.

文摘Aerogels are ultra-lightweight,porous materials defined by a complex network of interconnected pores and nanostructures,which effectively suppress heat transfer,making them exceptional for thermal insulation.Furthermore,their porous architecture can trap and scatter light via multiple internal reflections,extending the optical path within the material.When combined with suitable light-absorbing materials,this feature significantly enhances light absorption(darkness).To validate this concept,mesoporous silica aerogel particles were incorporated into a resorcinol-formaldehyde(RF)sol,and the silica-to-RF ratio was optimized to achieve uniform carbon compound coatings on the silica pore walls.Notably,increasing silica loading raised the sol viscosity,enabling formulations ideal for direct ink writing processes with excellent shape fidelity for super-black topographical designs.The printed silica-RF green bodies exhibited remarkable mechanical strength and ultra-low thermal conductivity(15.8 m W m^(-1) K^(-1))prior to pyrolysis.Following pyrolysis,the composites maintained structural integrity and printed microcellular geometries while achieving super-black coloration(abs.99.56%in the 280-2500 nm range)and high photothermal conversion efficiency(94.2%).Additionally,these silica-carbon aerogel microcellulars demonstrated stable electrical conductivity and low electrochemical impedance.The synergistic combination of 3D printability and super-black photothermal features makes these composites highly versatile for multifunctional applications,including on-demand thermal management,and efficient solar-driven water production.
文摘Laser-induced graphene(LIG)has emerged as a versatile,sustainable material for advanced energy technologies,offering a scalable,catalyst-free,and programmable method to directly convert carbon-rich substrates into porous,conductive graphene.This single-step laser writing approach enables flexible,patternable electrodes without complex post-processing.With its high conductivity,large surface area,and tunable chemistry,LIG is well-suited for diverse applications including batteries,supercapacitors,dyesensitized solar cells(DSSCs),dual cells,water-splitting electrocatalysis,and triboelectric nanogenerators(TENGs).In energy storage,LIG improves charge transport,buffer volume changes,and provides a robust framework,enhancing capacitance,cycling stability,and rate capability.Its catalytic activity is further boosted through heteroatom doping or transition-metal incorporation,achieving HER/OER performance comparable to noble metals.In DSSCs,LIG functions as a flexible,low-cost alternative to platinum counter electrodes,while in TENGs,its strong triboelectric response and mechanical durability enable integration into self-powered,wearable systems.Despite the immense recent progress in this field,challenges remain regarding the scalability,long-term operational stability,and interfacial engineering of LIGbased composites.Further exploration into multi-laser systems,substrate diversity,and synergistic composite architectures will be crucial to optimizing device performance and reliability.Nevertheless,the green,cost-efficient,rapid,and programmable synthesis of LIG poses it as a cornerstone potential building block material in the development of future sustainable and multifunctional energy systems.Throughout the review we compare fabrication strategies,summarize performance metrics against relevant benchmarks,and identifying common mechanistic advantages conferred by the laser writing process.Remaining challenges-such as scale-up,precursor diversity,long-term environmental stability,and integration into complex device architectures-are outlined alongside prospective research directions.Collectively,this review article provides an in-depth perspective on the multifunctional nature of LIG,underscoring its promise in next-generation energy storage,conversion,harvesting applications,and laying the groundwork for future research directions.

文摘High-entropy layered hydroxides(HELHs),an emerging frontier in entropy-stabilized materials derived from layered double hydroxides(LDHs),have captivated attention with their unparalleled tunability,thermodynamic stability,and electrochemical performance.The integration of the high-entropy concept into LDHs empowers HELHs to surmount the constraints of conventional materials through compositional diversity,structurally disordered configurations,and synergistic multi-element interactions.This review systematically embarks on their synthesis methodologies,functional mechanisms,and applications in energy conversion/storage and biomedicine.Advanced synthesis strategies,such as plasma-assisted hydrothermal methods,facilitate precise control over HELH architectures while supporting scalable production.HELHs demonstrate superior electrochemical performance in critical reactions,including oxygen evolution reaction,water oxidation,hydrogen evolution,and glucose electrooxidation.Future directions encompass integrating in situ characterization with simulations,leveraging machine learning for composition screening,and expanding HELHs application through interdisciplinary collaborations.This work establishes a comprehensive roadmap for advancing HELHs as next-generation multifunctional platforms for sustainable energy and biomedical technologies.

文摘High-entropy materials(HEMs)have attracted extensive attention in the field of electrocatalysis due to their high performance enabled by their multi-component,tunable structural characteristics and excellent stability.HEMs are usually composed of five or more metal elements,and have core advantages such as high configurational entropy,lattice distortion and multi-element synergistic effect,which provide new possibilities for composition regulation and performance optimization of catalysts.Especially at the nanoscale,HEMs show a larger specific surface area,abundant active sites and higher catalytic reaction efficiency,further expanding their application potential in electrochemical reactions.This paper systematically reviews the classification,structure construction and regulation strategies of HEMs,and focuses on their research progress in critical electrocatalytic reactions including water splitting(HER,OER),hydrogen oxidation(HOR),oxygen reduction(ORR),carbon dioxide reduction(CO_(2)RR),nitrate reduction(NO_(3)-RR)and electrooxidation of organics(EOO).In addition,the preparation methods of HEMs,the structure-performance relationship and the entropy regulation mechanism in the catalytic process are analyzed.Finally,this paper proposes the key challenges currently faced by HEMs in electrocatalytic applications and looks forward to their future development direction,providing a theoretical basis and design ideas for building a new generation of efficient and sustainable electrocatalysts.

文摘Hydrodeoxygenation represents a promising route for upgrading lignin-derived bio-oil into value-added fine chemicals,but it is challenging to obtain high yield and selectivity due to the varying dissociation energy of different oxygen-containing functional groups.Here,we strategically engineered a robust Cu-based catalyst for catalyzing vanillin to 4-methylguaiacol in a H-donor solvent under an inert N_(2) atmosphere,achieving simultaneously>99.9%conversion and near-theoretical selectivity(99.6%),as well as excellent cycling durability.First-principles calculations and control catalytic experiments confirmed the enhanced performance originated from(i)the downshifted d-band center of in situ generated Cu^(0) species induced by Al Lewis acid sites and(ii)the synergistic interplay between these Cu^(0) centers and adjacent Al Lewis acid sites,facilitated by isopropanol-mediated hydrogen transfer.This study demonstrates the feasibility of rationally designing high-performance catalysts featuring synergistic nonnoble metals with Lewis acid sites,enabling efficient and selective upgrade of renewable peroxidized compounds into value-added products with enhanced cost-effectiveness and process safety.

文摘Conductive cotton fabrics have emerged as promising platforms for advanced wearable applications,including strain sensing,electrical heating,and photothermal conversion.However,their widespread adoption is hindered by several critical limitations:dependence on petroleum-based materials,inherent hydrophilicity,and insufficient durability in practical environments.To overcome these challenges,an eco-friendly,mussel-inspired conductive coating system comprising tannic acid,cellulose nanofibers,and carbon nanotubes is developed.Through a facile dip-coating approach followed by in situ tannic acid polymerization-induced surface roughening and octadecylamine modification,a superhydrophobic conductive cotton fabric combining exceptional flexibility,breathability,and environmental stability is fabricated.The resulting superhydrophobic conductive cotton fabric demonstrates outstanding strain-sensing performance,featuring a rapid response time(127 ms)and reliable signal output over 4000 stretching cycles,capable of precisely detecting various human motions even underwater.Furthermore,the superhydrophobic conductive cotton fabric achieves impressive electrothermal(103.9℃at 15 V)and photothermal(104.2℃at 350 mW cm^(-2))conversion efficiencies with excellent temperature controllability.This multifunctional fabric presents a sustainable solution for next-generation wearable electronics and intelligent thermal management systems,addressing both environmental concerns and performance requirements for real-world applications.

文摘Photocatalytic carbon dioxide reduction reaction(CO_(2)RR)is a carbon-neutral strategy to address global energy use and its impact on climate.Metal oxide and metal chalcogenide catalysts are the most investigated catalysts for photocatalytic CO_(2)RR.Unfortunately,low CO_(2)adsorption ability and limited active sites of metal oxide and metal chalcogenide catalysts for CO_(2)RR make them less competitive compared to their industrial counterparts.Inspired by applications of porphyrin-based metal-organic framework(MOF)catalysts for hydrogen evolution and photodynamic therapy,the investigations of these porphyrin-based MOFs,including pristine and composite porphyrin-based MOFs in photocatalytic CO_(2)RR,have attracted significant attention in the last five years due to their excellent CO_(2)adsorption capacities,high porosity,high stability,exceptional optoelectronic properties,and multi-functionality.However,due to the difference in photocatalytic CO_(2)RR,several critical issues need to be addressed to achieve the rational design of advanced porphyrin-based MOF photocatalysts to improve activity,selectivity,and stability for CO_(2)RR.Here,we review recent developments in the field of porphyrin-based MOF CO_(2)RR photocatalysts,along with critical issues,challenges,and perspectives concerning porphyrin-based MOF catalysts for photocatalytic CO_(2)RR.

文摘The rapid advancement of flexible electronics technology has placed higher demands on the structural design and performance regulation of elastic materials.Cellulosic elastomers,with their biodegradability,renewability,and tunability,emerge as ideal candidate materials.Entropy-driven self-as sembly promotes the spontaneous formation of ordered structures,serving as a crucial pathway for optimizing cellulose elastomer properties.However,the structure-property relationship between the self-assembled ordered structures of cellulose elastomers and their mechanical and electrical properties remains insufficiently explored.It hinders the expansion of their applications in electronic devices.This paper systematically reviews the structure-property regulation mechanisms of self-assembled cellulosic elastomers from an entropy-driven perspective.It elucidates the application principles and performance optimization strategies for mechanical energy harvesting and self-powered sensing,while also exploring the challenges and prospects for performance enhancement.This work provides a reference for the development of self-assembled cellulosic elastomers in the field of energy devices.

文摘Metal halide perovskites(MHPs)with striking electrical and optical properties have appeared at the forefront of semiconductor materials for photocatalytic redox reactions but still suffer from some intrinsic drawbacks such as inferior stability,severe charge-carrier recombination,and limited active sites.Heterojunctions have recently been widely constructed to improve light absorption,passivate surface for enhanced stability,and promote charge-carrier dynamics of MHPs.However,little attention has been paid to the review of MHPs-based heterojunctions for photocatalytic redox reactions.Here,recent advances of MHPs-based heterojunctions for photocatalytic redox reactions are highlighted.The structure,synthesis,and photophysical properties of MHPs-based heterojunctions are first introduced,including basic principles,categories(such as Schottky junction,type-I,type-II,Z-scheme,and S-scheme junction),and synthesis strategies.MHPs-based heterojunctions for photocatalytic redox reactions are then reviewed in four categories:H2evolution,CO_(2)reduction,pollutant degradation,and organic synthesis.The challenges and prospects in solar-light-driven redox reactions with MHPs-based heterojunctions in the future are finally discussed.

文摘Wood,once regarded primarily as a structural material,possesses rich physicochemical complexity that has long been underexplored.In the context of industrialization and carbon imbalance,it is now emerging as a renewable and multifunctional platform for green nanotechnologies.Recent advances in wood nanotechnology have enabled the transformation of natural wood into programmable substrates with tailored nanoarchitectures,establishing it as a representative class of bio-based nanomaterials.This review systematically categorizes wood-specific nanoengineering strategies—including thermal carbonization,laser-induced graphenization,targeted delignification,nanomaterial integration,and mechanical processing—highlighting their mechanisms and impacts on wood's multiscale structural and functional properties.Importantly,these functionalization strategies can be flexibly combined in a modular,“Lego-like”manner,enabling wood to be reconfigured and optimized for diverse application scenarios.We summarize recent progress in applying functionalized wood to sustainable technologies such as energy storage(e.g.,metal-ion batteries,Zn-air systems,supercapacitors),water treatment(e.g.,adsorption,photothermal filtration,catalytic degradation),and energy conversion(e.g.,solar evaporation,ionic thermoelectrics,hydrovoltaics,and triboelectric nanogenerators).These studies reveal how nanoengineered wood structures can enable efficient charge transport,selective adsorption,and enhanced light-to-heat conversion.Finally,the review discusses current challenges—such as scalable fabrication,material integration,and long-term environmental stability—and outlines future directions for the development of wood-based platforms in next-generation green energy and environmental systems.

文摘Global water scarcity and pollution present critical challenges for human society.Solar-driven wastewater treatments,such as photocatalytic degradation of organic pollutants and photothermal conversion water evaporation,offer promising solutions.TiO_(2)has garnered extensive attention in these fields,but its large bandgap limits light absorption,affecting its performance and broader applications in energy and environmental fields.Consequently,modifying TiO_(2)to improve its photocatalytic and photothermal conversion performance has become a research hotspot.Among various modification strategies,self-doping with Ti^(3+)and oxygen vacancies can reduce the bandgap of TiO_(2),improve sunlight utilization,and increase the separation efficiency of photogenerated electron-hole pairs,thereby significantly enhancing the photocatalytic and photothermal conversion performance.This review focuses on the inorganic chemical reduction methods for preparing Ti^(3+)/oxygen vacancies self-doped TiO_(2)and their current applications in solar-driven photothermal conversion water evaporation.It highlights the challenges faced during synthesis and application while offering insights into future development prospects.This review is expected to provide a valuable reference for further research on the preparation and application of Ti^(3+)/oxygen vacancies self-doped TiO_(2).
