文摘Violet phosphorus,a recently explored layered elemental semiconductor,has attracted much attention due to its unique photoelectric,mechanical properties,and high hole mobility.Herein,violet arsenic phosphorus has for the first time been synthesized by a molten lead method.The crystal structure of violet arsenic phosphorus(P^(83.4)As_(0.6),CSD-2408761)was determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction to have similar structure as that of violet phosphorus,where P12 is occupied by arsenic/phosphorus(As/P)atoms as mixed occupancy sites As1/P12.The arsenic substitution has been demonstrated to tune the band structure of violet phosphorus,switching p-type of violet phosphorus to high-performance n-type violet arsenic phosphorus.The effective electron mass along the<010>direction is significantly reduced from 1.792 to 0.515 m_(0)by arsenic substitution,resulting in an extremely high electron mobility of 2622.503 cm^(2)V^(-1)s^(-1).The field effect transistor built with P_(83.4)As_(0.6)nanosheets was measured to have a high electron mobility(137.06 cm^(2)V^(-1)s^(-1),61.2 nm),even under ambient conditions for 5 h,much higher than the hole mobility of violet phosphorene nanosheets(4.07 cm^(2)V^(-1)s^(-1),73.3 nm).This work provides a new idea for designing phosphorus-based materials for field effect transistors,giving significant potential in complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor applications.

文摘Thinopyrum ponticum(2n=10×=70),a wild relative of common wheat(Triticum aestivum L.),is considered an invaluable genetic resource for wheat improvement due to its abundance of genes conferring resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses.This study focused on the CH97 line,derived from the BC1F7 progeny of a cross between wheat cv.7182 and Th.ponticum.Cytological evidence showed that CH97 has 42 chromosomes,forming 21 bivalents at meiotic metaphase I,with the bivalents subsequently separating and moving to opposite poles during meiotic anaphase I.Through a combination of fluorescence in situ hybridization(FISH),genomic in situ hybridization(GISH),multicolor GISH(mc-GISH),and liquid array analysis,it was determined that CH97 comprises 40 wheat chromosomes and two alien chromosomes from the Ee genome of Th.ponticum,featuring the absence of a pair of 5D chromosomes and variations in 1B,6B,and 7B chromosomes.These findings confirm that CH97 is a stable wheat-Th.ponticum 5E(5D)alien disomic substitution line.Inoculation experiments revealed that CH97 exhibits high resistance to wheat powdery mildew and stripe rust throughout the growth period,in contrast to the highly susceptible common wheat parent 7182.Compared to 7182,CH97 displayed improvements in thousand-kernel weight and kernel length.Additionally,utilizing specific-locus amplified fragment sequencing(SLAF-seq)technology,chromosome 5E-specific molecular markers were developed and validated,achieving a 33.3% success rate,facilitating marker-assisted selection for disease resistance in wheat.Overall,the CH97 substitution line,with its resistance to diseases and improved agronomic traits,represents valuable new germplasm for wheat chromosome engineering and breeding.

文摘Background:The phenomenon of multimorbidity in chronic diseases among the elderly is prevalent,and its significant association with depression poses a serious threat to the physical and mental health of older adults.Current research on the associations between 24-hour movement behaviors(including physical activity,sedentary behavior,and sleep)and depression has largely been confined to examining the effects of single behaviors,overlooking the intrinsic compositional nature and interrelationships among these behaviors.Therefore,it is necessary to investigate the integrated effects of 24-hour movement behaviors on depression in older adults with multimorbidity from a holistic,compositional perspective.Methods:From November 2024 to April 2025,a total of 226 older adult patients with multimorbidity were recruited from a tertiary hospital in Changzhou City.Data were collected using a general information questionnaire,the International Physical Activity Questionnaire–Short Form(IPAQ-SF),the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index(PSQI),and the Patient Health Questionnaire-9(PHQ-9).Compositional data analysis and isotemporal substitution models were employed for statistical analysis.Results:The mean daily durations of Light-Intensity Physical Activity(LPA),Moderate-to-Vigorous Physical Activity(MVPA),Sedentary Behavior(SB),and Sleep(SLP)in older adults with multimorbidity were 402.48 min,12.04 min,511.52 min,and 458.68 min,respectively.The prevalence of depressive symptoms was 37.6%.Compositional data analysis revealed that SB was positively associated with depression(βSB=1.005,P=0.006),while SLP was negatively associated with depression(βSLP=−1.736,P<0.001).No statistically significant associations were found between MVPA or LPA and depression(P>0.05).In the 10-minute isotemporal substitution model,replacing SB with any other behavioral component was associated with a decrease in depression scores.Conversely,substituting SLP with either LPA or SB resulted in an increase in depression scores,while substituting SLP with MVPA led to a decrease in depression scores.The dose-response analysis revealed that,among the isotemporal substitution effects,replacing SB with SLP and replacing SLP with MVPA were the substitution pathways associated with the most rapid decline in depression scores,representing the greatest beneficial health effects.Conclusion:The prevalence of depression is notably high among older adults with multimorbidity.Reducing daily sedentary behavior(SB),maintaining adequate sleep(SLP),and increasing moderate-to-vigorous physical activity(MVPA)can improve depressive symptoms and enhance overall health in this population.

文摘Rare-earth ion-doped garnets with excellent luminescent properties show great potential for temperature sensing,displays,and nondestructive detection.However,their limited luminescent modes and low photoluminescence quantum yields(PLQY)restrict further applications.In this study,we synthesized Al^(3+),Er^(3+)-co-doped Gd_(3)Ga_(5)O_(12) garnets with multimode luminescence via a high-temperature solid-state method.Notably,the preferential substitution of Al^(3+)ion at octahedral-coordinated GaI sites significantly enhanced the charge density and electron transition probability,achieving a PLQY enhancement of the downshifting luminescence from 35.1%to 68.5%.Al^(3+)ion also influences electron relaxation during up-conversion luminescence,resulting in a color shift from red to yellow to green.Additionally,Al^(3+)incorporation increased the photoelectric conversion efficiency of light-emitting diodes from 2.9%to 6.3%and improved temperature sensing sensitivity from 2.7%to 5.1%K⁻1.This work provides new insights into the photophysical mechanisms and underscores the key role of Al^(3+)ion in optimizing the optical properties of garnet-based materials.

文摘Facilitating anion redox chemistry is an effective strategy to increase the capacity of layered oxides for sodium-ion batteries.Nevertheless,there remains a paucity of literature pertaining to the oxygen redox chemistry of O3-type layered oxide cathode materials.This work systematically investigates the effect of Fe doping on the anionic oxygen redox chemistry and electrochemical reactions in O3-NaNi_(0.4)Cu_(0.1)Mn_(0.4)Ti_(0.1)O_(2).The results of the density functional theory(DFT)calculations indicate that the electrons of the O 2p occupy a higher energy level.In the ex-situ X-ray photoelectron spectrometer(XPS)of O 1s,the addition of Fe facilitates the lattice oxygen(O^(n-))to exhibit enhanced activity at 4.45 V.The in-situ X-ray diffraction(XRD)demonstrates that the doping of Fe effectively suppresses the Y phase transition at high voltages.Furthermore,the Galvanostatic Intermittent Titration Technique(GITT)data indicate that Fe doping significantly increases the Na~+migration rate at high voltages.Consequently,the substitution of Fe can elevate the cut-off voltage to 4.45 V,thereby facilitating electron migration from O^(2-).The redox of O^(2-)/O^(n-)(n<2)contributes to the overall capacity.O3-Na(Ni_(0.4)Cu_(0.1)Mn_(0.4)Ti_(0.1))_(0.92)Fe_(0.08)O_(2)provides an initial discharge specific capacity of 180.55 mA h g^(-1)and71.6%capacity retention at 0.5 C(1 C=240 mA g^(-1)).This work not only demonstrates the beneficial impact of Fe substitution for promoting the redox activity and reversibility of O^(2-)in 03-type layered oxides,but also guarantees the structural integrity of the cathode materials at high voltages(>4.2 V).It offers a novel avenue for investigating the anionic redox reaction in O3-type layered oxides to design advanced cathode materials.
文摘Base-catalyzed nucleophilic substitution reactions ofβ-ketonitrile with azodicarboxylates have been developed.A series of disubstituted C—N coupling products were obtained in good to excellent yields under Et_(3)N catalysis.Monosubstitu-tion C—N bond formation reaction catalyzed by K_(2)CO_(3) also gave novel enol-based target products.This method is simple and mild,with good chemoselectivity,excellent substrate compatibility and tolerance for various functional groups,and achieves gram-scale synthesis.The reaction is a nucleophilic substitution process without the involvement of free radicals.

文摘In this work,Ga-doped Ce RhIn_(5) single crystals are grown by In/Ga flux method.Single-crystal X-ray diffraction,magnetic susceptibility,specific heat,and neutron diffraction measurements are utilized to characterize the sample quality and the antiferromagnetic transition temperature T_(N).By substituting In with Ga,T_(N) is slightly decreased,but the antiferromagnetic transition peaks in magnetic susceptibility and specific heat measurements are obviously broadened by external field along c-axis.By comparing with Zn-doped Ce RhIn_(5),it can be concluded that T_(N) is dominated by electron density,and the stiffness of antiferromagnetic transition is obviously reduced by Ga substitution.The substitution effects of Ga are possibly caused by forming heterogeneous local structures,which avoids quantum critical point,superconductivity,and non-Fermi liquid states.Investigations on Gadoped Ce RhIn_(5) help to comprehend the chemical substitution effects in Ce RhIn_(5),and the interaction between heterogeneous structure and long-range antiferromagnetic states.

文摘Benefitting from its unique NASICON-type framework,the Na_(3)V_(2)(PO_(4))_(3)(NVP)cathodes have aroused extensive interest and have been deemed as the promising cathode candidate for sodium-ion batteries(SIBs).Unfortunately,the poor electronic conductivity,combined with the undesirable volume variations,seriously hinders the practical application of NVP cathode,especially at low temperatures.Herein,a dual-strategy,F substitution accompanied by V vacancies and the construction of three-dimensional(3D)nitrogen-doped carbonaceous frameworks(NC),were employed for the NVP cathode(F-NVP/C@3DNC).The former can remarkably decrease the particle size and enhance Na^(+)migration capability,increasing the ionic conductivity.Meanwhile,the electronic connection and effective buffering can be obtained from the latter,strengthening the electrode integrity.Consequently,up to 100 cycles at 0.1 A g^(-1),a reversible capacity of 113.8 mAh g^(-1),approaching the theoretical value(117 mAh g^(-1)),is demonstrated,accompa-nied by impressive capacity retentions at 1.0(93.75%after 4800 cycles)and 20.0 A g^(-1)(92.7%after 1000 cycles).More importantly,even at-20℃,a superior specific capacity(102.6 mAh g^(-1) after 100 cycles at 0.1 A g^(-1))and high capacity retention(86.6%at 20.0 A g^(-1) up to 1000 cycles)can still be obtained simul-taneously.Significantly,the design of F-NVP/C@3DNC provides insights for the fabrication of polyanion cathodes for applications at low temperatures with modified structure stability and reaction kinetics.

文摘Using first-principles calculations based on density functional theory,we show that the ground state of zigzag-edged graphene nanoribbons(ZGNRs)can be transformed from antiferromagnetic(AFM)order to ferromagnetic(FM)order by changing the substitutional sites of N or B dopants.This AFM–FM transition induced by substitutional sites is found to be a consequence of the competition between the edge and bulk states.The energy sequence of the edge and bulk states near the Fermi level is reversed in the AFM and FM configurations.When the dopant is substituted near the edge of the ribbon,the extra charge from the dopant is energetically favorable to occupy the edge states in AFM configuration.When the dopant is substituted near the center,the extra charge is energetically favorable to occupy the bulk states in FM configuration.Proper substrate with weak interaction is necessary to maintain the magnetic properties of the doped ZGNRs.Our study can serve as a guide to synthesize graphene nanostructures with stable FM order for future applications to spintronic devices.
文摘Metal oxides as support for constructing precious metal single-atom catalysts hold great promise for a wide range of industrial applications,but achieving a high-loading of thermally stable metal single atoms on such supports has been challenging.Herein,we report an innovative strategy for the fabrication of high-density single-atoms(Rh,Ru,Pd)catalysts on CaAl-layered double hydroxides(CaAl-LDH)via isomorphous substitution.The Rh species have occupied Ca^(2+)vacancies within CaAl-LDH laminate by ion-exchange,facilitating a substantial loading of isolated Rh single-atoms.Such catalysts displayed superior performance in the selective hydrogenation to quinoline,pivotal for liquid organic hydrogen storage,and the universality for the hydrogenation of N-heterocyclic aromatic hydrocarbons was also verified.Combining the experimental results and density functional theory calculations,the pathway of quinoline hydrogenation over Rh1CaAl-LDH was proposed.This synthetic strategy marks a significant advancement in the field of single-atom catalysts,expanding their horizons in green chemical processes.

文摘Donor-acceptor(D-A)compounds are particularly important in optoelectronic and biological applications.However,they are normally synthesized in the presence of transition metal catalysts.Herein,we report a metal-free method by a complexmediated nucleophilic aromatic substitution of aryl nitriles with amines.The method can lead to rich D-A type aggregation-induced emission luminogens(AIEgens)with tunable properties.They emit from deep-blue to yellow-green and possess high photoluminescence quantum yields up to 70.5%in the aggregate state.Interestingly,the suppression of intramolecular flapping is proved to play an indispensable role in the AIE behavior,which is different from the mechanism met in other AIEgens.Moreover,the biocompatible AIEgens possess specific staining of lipid droplets in HeLa cells and the superiority of identifying fatty liver over traditional Oil Red O staining is exhibited.

文摘Living cationic polymerization of 4-acetoxystyrene(STO)was conducted in CH_(2)Cl_(2) at-15℃ using a dicumyl chloride(DCC)/SnCl_(4)/nBu_(4)NBr initiating system.Impurity moisture initiation was inhibited by adding proton trap 2,6-di-tert-butylpyridine(DTBP),and the controlled initiation of DCC was confirmed by ^(1)H nuclear magnetic resonance(^(1)H-NMR)spectroscopy and matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-offlight mass(MALDI-TOF-MS)spectrometry.The polymerization kinetics were analyzed to for optimizing the polymerization rate.Allyl-telechelic PSTOs(allyl-PSTO-allyl)with molecular weight(Mn)range of 3540–7800 g/mol and narrow molecular weight dispersity(Mw/Mn)about 1.25 were prepared through nucleophilic substitution with allyltrimethylsilane(ATMS)at approximately 40%monomer conversion.The experimental results indicate that the substitution efficiency of ATMS increased with higher ATMS concentration,temperature,and extended reaction time.Nearly unity ally-functionality for allyl-PSTO-allyl was achieved by adding sufficient SnCl_(4) prior to the substitution.

文摘Understanding the molecular relevance of metabolic rate(MR)is crucial for unveiling the mechanisms driving the evolution of animals.In this study,we investigated the association between mitochondrial DNA characteristics and both resting and maximal MRs in conjunction with life-history traits among 139 species of teleost fish,We gathered fish MR data from various sources and procured sequences of 13 mitochondrial protein-encoding genes.We calculated the absolute substitution rate for entire nucleotide sequences and 4-fold degenerate sites of each gene,along with encoding amino acid sequences.Using the phylogenetic comparative method,we then explored the associations between MR and mitochondrial DNA absolute substitution rate.Additionally,we screened MR-associated single nucleotide variants in mitochondrial DNA.The findings indicate no positive correlation between MRs and any substitution rate values of both combined sequences and individual mitochondrial protein-coding genes,refuting the MR hypothesis.Instead,both maximum body size and longevity correlated negatively with molecular substitution rates,suggesting their influences on both mutation and fixation within mitochondrial genes in fish.Results also revealed significant correlations between base variation at ATP6_169 and both resting MR and maximum MR,identifying the unique ATP6_169G in Scombridae fish,which results in an extremely low isoelectric point(pl)value of the ATP6 protein.Considering its functional significance,the ATP6_169G in Scombridae fish might link to their lifestyle characterized by fast locomotion and high metabolic demands alongside a slower molecular evolutionary rate.

文摘Fluorine(F)substitution in polymers modulates both molecular energy levels and film morphology;however,its impact on exciton–vibrational coupling and molecular reorganization energy is often neglected.Herein,we systematically investigated F-modified polymers(PBTA-PSF,PBDB-PSF)and their nonfluorinated counterparts(PBTA-PS,PBDB-PS)through simulations and experiments.We found that F atoms effectively lower the vibrational frequency of the molecular skeleton and suppress exciton–vibration coupling,thereby reducing the nonradiative decay rate.Moreover,introducing F atoms significantly decreases the reorganization energy for the S_(0)→S_(1) and S_(0)→cation transitions while increasing the reorganization energy for the S_(1)→S_(0) and cation→S_(0) transitions.These changes facilitate exciton dissociation and reduce the energy loss caused by dissociation and nonradiative recombination of excitons.Additionally,introducing F atoms into polymers enhances theπ–πstacking strength and the crystal coherence length in both neat and blended films,ultimately resulting in improvements in the power conversion efficiency of PBTA-PSF:L8-BO and PBDB-PSF:L8-BO are 16.51%and 17.59%,respectively.This study provides valuable insights for designing organic semiconductor materials to minimize energy loss and achieve a higher power conversion efficiency.

文摘Na_(2)FePO_(4)F is a promising sodium ion cathode due to its low cost,non-toxicity,and high stability.However,the sluggish Na^(+)diffusion kinetics and limited intrinsic electronic conductivity critically restrict its worldwide application.Herein,an anion-substitution strategy is proposed with SiO_(4)^(4-)as the dopant.SiO_(4)^(4-)substitution for PO_(4)^(3-)can apparently alter the localized electronic density and structural configuration in the lattice of Na_(2)FePO_(4)F,effectively elevating the charge transfer efficiency.As a result,the electrochemical reaction kinetics of Na_(2)FePO_(4)F is significantly enhanced,which is well demonstrated by a series of electrochemical characterizations.As-obtained Na_(2.2)Fe(PO_(4))_(0.8)(SiO_(4))_(0.2)F renders a specific capacity of 84.9 m A h g^(-1)within the region of 2.5-4.0 V at 60 mA g^(-1)(0.5 C),good rate capability,and a capacity retention of 70.0% after 1000 cycles at 1.24 A g^(-1)(10 C).Furthermore,the stabilities of the cathode-electrolyte interface and structure are strengthened,which are verified by in situ EIS and ex situ XRD analysis.These findings highlight silicate anion substitution as a promising and cost-effective strategy for overcoming the limitations of Na_(2)FePO_(4)F,contributing to the development of sustainable energy storage solutions.

文摘P-stereogenic compounds play pivotal roles in natural products,pharmaceuticals,bioactive molecules,and catalysts/ligands,making their synthesis a highly researched area.Current studies have predominantly concentrated on fully carbon-substituted P-stereogenic species,despite the fact that many therapeutically relevant compounds feature P-O,P-N,or P-S bonds.The catalytic and stereoselective nucleophilic substitution at the P-center is acknowledged as a highly efficient and straightforward approach for constructing high-value P-stereogenic compounds,offering significant potential for further development.This review provides an overview of advancements in the construction of P-stereogenic centers based on Pcentered nucleophilic substitution,highlighting key challenges,breakthroughs,and future opportunities in the field.

文摘This work investigated the microstructure,magnetic properties,and crystallization kinetics of the as-spun and annealed alloy ribbons of(Fe_(40-x)Co_xNi_(40)Si_(6.33)B_(12.66)Cu_1)_(0.97)Nb_(0.03),where x=0,6,7,8,9,prepared using the meltspinning method.The results show that adding a moderate amount of Co can improve the glass forming ability(GFA),the first peak crystallization temperature,and thermal stability of the as-spun alloy ribbons.With x=7,the two-stage crystallization temperature interval△Tx=90 exhibits optimal thermal stability,and the alloy annealed at 673 K for 10 minutes shows the favorable combined magnetic properties,with H_(c)=0.12 A/m,M_(s)=88.7 A·m^(2)/kg,andμ_(e)=13800.The magnetic domain results show that annealing removes numerous pinning points in the magnetic domains of the alloy ribbons,making the domain walls smoother and effectively reducing the pinning effect.

文摘A structural conjugate(HOC)of polysaccharide,hyaluronic acid(HA)with different ratios of oleic acid(OA)via cystamine(CYS)linker as a new ocular biomaterial was developed.The HOCs with controlled degrees of substitution of OA(4.6%,8.3%and 12.2%)were synthesized to form self-assembled HA-CYS-OA nanoparticles(HONs,HON1,HON2,HON3).A poorly water-soluble cyclosporine A(CsA)to be used for the treatment of multifactorial dry eye disease(DED)was chosen as model drug.CsA-loaded HONs exhibited improved solution transparency via solubilizing capacity of HON,and increased in vitro drug permeation compared to Restasis®.The physicochemical properties of CsA-loaded HONs such as nano behaviors,solution transparency,drug release,drug permeation and ocular cytocompatibility were highly variable according to the ratios of OA substitution.Interestingly,this CsA-loaded HON1 as optimal ocular nanoformulation showed markedly augmentedmacrophage polarization into the M2 phenotype,downregulated the expression of proinflammatory cytokines levels in LPS-induced M1 macrophage,and effectively inhibited VEGF-induced endothelial cell proliferation and capillary-like tube formation by the synergistic effect of CsA and HON1 containing OA at the same time.Collectively,the current fatty acid conjugated to HA,named fattigation platform,providing the roles and physicochemical properties via structural features of HA could be a promising co-delivery strategy of drug and fatty acid for DED and other ophthalmic disease treatments.
