文摘Grain boundary(GB),as a kind of lattice defect,widely exists in two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides(2D TMDs),which has complex and diverse influences on the physical/chemical properties of 2D TMDs.GBs are universally considered to be a double-edged sword,although some electrical and mechanical properties of 2D TMDs would be adversely affected leading to the reduced overall quality,certain structure-oriented applications could be realized based on its unique properties.In this review,we first detailed the atomic structure characteristics of GBs and the corresponding techniques,then we systematically summarized the methods of introducing GBs into 2D TMDs.Next,we expounded unique electrical,mechanical,and chemical properties of the GBs in 2D TMDs and clarified its internal relationship with the atomic structure.Moreover,the application of GB structure in hydrogen evolution reaction(HER)is also discussed.In the end,we make a conclusion and put forward outlooks,hoping to further promote the basic research of GB and boost the wide application of 2D TMDs.
文摘The Advanced Glycation End Products(AGE)binding with its receptor can increase reactive oxygen species(ROS)generation through specific signaling mediators.The effect of superoxide(O2-)and O2-mediated ROS and reactive nitrogen species depends on their concentration and location of formation.Nitric oxide(NO)has anti-inflammatory and anticoagulant properties and a vasodilation effect,but NO can be deactivated by reacting with O_(2)^(-).This reaction between NO and O2-produces the potent oxidant ONOO−.Therefore,ONOO-'s regulatory role in AGEs in diabetic cardiovascular complications must considered as a regulator of cardiovascular complications in diabetes.

文摘Graphdiyne(GDY)is a two-dimensional carbon allotrope with exceptional physical and chemical properties that is gaining increasing attention.However,its efficient and scalable synthesis remains a significant challenge.We present a microwave-assisted approach for its continuous,large-scale production which enables synthesis at a rate of 0.6 g/h,with a yield of up to 90%.The synthesized GDY nanosheets have an average diameter of 246 nm and a thickness of 4 nm.We used GDY as a stable coating for potassium(K)metal anodes(K@GDY),taking advantage of its unique molecular structure to provide favorable paths for K-ion transport.This modification significantly inhibited dendrite formation and improved the cycling stability of K metal batteries.Full-cells with perylene-3,4,9,10-tetracarboxylic dianhydride(PTCDA)cathodes showed the clear superiority of the K@GDY anodes over bare K anodes in terms of performance,stability,and cycle life.The K@GDY maintained a stable voltage plateau and gave an excellent capacity retention after 600 cycles with nearly 100%Coulombic efficiency.This work not only provides a scalable and efficient way for GDY synthesis but also opens new possibilities for its use in energy storage and other advanced technologies.

文摘FeSiAl-based soft magnetic composites(SMCs),prepared from insulated FeSiAl powders,are widely applied in electronic devices.However,it is still challenging to achieve high magnetic and mechanical properties simultaneously due to the undesirable insulation layer.Here,double Al_(2)O_(3) insulation layers are prepared for FeSiAl SMC.Atomic-scale characterizations reveal an in-situ epitaxial Al_(2)O_(3) layer at FeSiAl surface under the catalysis of NaAlO_(2),and an outer amorphous Al_(2)O_(3) layer by subsequent NaAlO2 hydrolysis.The above structure ensures effective insulation of FeSiAl powders and excellent magnetic properties of the FeSiAl/NaAlO2 SMC,with permeability of 101 and power loss of 128 mW/cm^(3)(50 mT,100 kHz)respectively.Moreover,in-situ Al_(2)O_(3)/amorphous Al_(2)O_(3) on FeSiAl matrix also leads to distinguished crush strength of 36.5 MPa for the core sample,which is ascribed to the enhanced adhesion at different interfaces as evidenced by similar local oxygen coordination and low strain distribution.This work provides a novel method to fabricate high-performance FeSiAl SMCs.

文摘Weathering steel exhibits excellent corrosion resistance and is widely used in bridges,towers,railways,highways,and other engineering projects that are exposed to the atmosphere for long periods of time.However,before the formation of stable rust layers,weathering steel is prone to liquid rust sagging and spattering,leading to environmental pollution and city appearance concerns.These factors limit the application and development of weathering steel.In this study,a rapid and environmentally friendly method was de-veloped by introducing alloying elements,specifically investigating the role of Sn in the rapid stabilization of rust layers in marine atmo-spheric environments.The rust layer formed on weathering low-alloy steel exposed to prolonged outdoor conditions and laboratory im-mersion experiments was explored using electron probe micro-analyzer(EPMA),micro-Raman,X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS),and electrochemical measurements.Results showed an optimal synergistic effect between Sn and Cr,which facilitated the accelerated densification of the rust layer.This beneficial effect enhanced the capability of the rust layer to resist Cl^(-)erosion and improved the protec-tion performance of the rust layer.

文摘The characterization techniques were employed like transmission electron microscope,X-ray diffraction and microstructural characterization to investigate microstructural evolution and impact of precipitate-phase precipitation on strength and toughness of a self-developed 32Si_(2)CrNi_(2)MoVNb steel during the quenching and tempering process.Research outputs indicated that the steel microstructure under the quenching state could be composed of martensite with a high dislocation density,a small amount of residual austenite,and many dispersed spherical MC carbides.In details,after tempering at 200℃,fine needle-shapedε-carbides would precipitate,which may improve yield strength and toughness of the steel.However,as compared to that after tempering at 200℃,the average length of needle-shapedε-carbides was found to increase to 144.1±4 from 134.1±3 nm after tempering at 340℃.As a result,the yield strength may increase to 1505±40 MPa,and the impact absorption energy(V-notch)may also decrease.Moreover,after tempering at 450℃,thoseε-carbides in the steel may transform into coarse rod-shaped cementite,and dislocation recoveries at such high tempering temperature may lead to decrease of strength and toughness of the steel.Finally,the following properties could be obtained:a yield strength of 1440±35 MPa,an ultimate tensile strength of 1864±50 MPa and an impact absorption energy of 45.9±4 J,by means of rational composition design and microstructural control.

文摘Arsenic(As)pollution in soils is a pervasive environmental issue.Biochar immobilization offers a promising solution for addressing soil As contamination.The efficiency of biochar in immobilizing As in soils primarily hinges on the characteristics of both the soil and the biochar.However,the influence of a specific property on As immobilization varies among different studies,and the development and application of arsenic passivation materials based on biochar often rely on empirical knowledge.To enhance immobilization efficiency and reduce labor and time costs,a machine learning(ML)model was employed to predict As immobilization efficiency before biochar application.In this study,we collected a dataset comprising 182 data points on As immobilization efficiency from 17 publications to construct three ML models.The results demonstrated that the random forest(RF)model outperformed gradient boost regression tree and support vector regression models in predictive performance.Relative importance analysis and partial dependence plots based on the RF model were conducted to identify the most crucial factors influencing As immobilization.These findings highlighted the significant roles of biochar application time and biochar pH in As immobilization efficiency in soils.Furthermore,the study revealed that Fe-modified biochar exhibited a substantial improvement in As immobilization.These insights can facilitate targeted biochar property design and optimization of biochar application conditions to enhance As immobilization efficiency.

文摘Nanocrystals have emerged as cutting-edge functional materials benefiting from the increased surface and enhanced coupling of electronic states.High-resolution imaging in transmission electron microscope can provide invaluable structural information of crystalline materials,albeit it remains greatly challenging to nanocrystals due to the arduousness of accurate zone axis adjustment.Herein,a homemade software package,called SmartAxis,is developed for rapid yet accurate zone axis alignment of nanocrystals.Incident electron beam tilt is employed as an eccentric goniometer to measure the angular deviation of a crystal to a zone axis,and then serves as a linkage to calculate theαandβtilts of goniometer based on an accurate quantitative relationship.In this way,high-resolution imaging of one identical small Au nanocrystal,as well as electron beam-sensitive MIL-101 metal-organic framework crystals,along multiple zone axes,was performed successfully by using this accurate,time-and electron dose-saving zone axis alignment software package.

文摘A high-temperature and high-pressure valve is the key equipment of a wind tunnel system;it controls the generation of high-temperature and high-pressure gas.To reduce the adverse impact of high-temperature and high-pressure gas on the strength of the valve body,a cooling structure is set on the valve seat.This can significantly reduce the temperature of the valve body and valve seat.The effects of its structure on the cooling characteristics and stress of the valve seat are studied,and six main parameters that can completely describe the geometry of the cooling structure are proposed.The central composite design method is used to select sample points,and the multi-objective genetic algorithm(MOGA)method is used for optimal structural design.A modification method according to the main parameters for the valve seat is proposed.The results show that the cooling structure weakens the pressure-bearing capability of the valve seat.Among the six main parameters of the valve seat,the distance from the end face of the lower hole to the Z-axis and the distance from the axis of the lower hole to the origin of the coordinates have the most obvious effects on the average stress of the valve seat.An optimum design value is proposed.This work can provide a reference for the design of high-temperature and high-pressure valves.

文摘Various chemical irrigants and drugs have been employed for intra-canal disinfection in root canal therapy(RCT).However,due to the complexity of root canal anatomy,many drugs still exhibit poor penetrability and antibiotic resistance,leading to suboptimal treatment outcomes.Thus,it is challenging to remove the organic biofilms from root canals.In recent years,light-responsive therapy,with deeper tissue penetration than traditional treatments,has emerged as an effective RCT modality.Herein,this review summarizes the recent development of light-responsive nanomaterials for biofilm removal in RCT.The light-responsive nanomaterials and the corresponding therapeutic methods in RCT,including photodynamic therapy(PDT),photothermal therapy(PTT),and laser-activated therapy,are highlighted.Finally,the challenges that light-responsive nanomaterials and treatment modalities will encounter to conquer the biofilm in future RCT are discussed.This review is believed to significantly accelerate the future development of light-responsive nanomaterials for RCT from bench to bedside.

文摘Electrocatalytic CO_(2)reduction(ECR)to produce value-added fuels and chemicals using renewable electricity is an emerging strategy to mitigate global warming and decrease reliance on fossil fuels.Among various ECR products,liquid oxygenates(Oxys)are especially attractive due to their high energy density,high safety and transportability that could be adapted to the existing infrastructure and transportation system.However,efficiently generating these highly reduced oxygen-containing products by ECR remains challenging due to the complexity of coupled proton and electron transfer processes.In recent years,in-depth studies of reaction mechanisms have advanced the design of catalysts and the regulation of reaction systems for ECR to produce Oxys,Here,by focusing on the production of typical Oxys,such as methanol,acetic acid,ethanol,acetone,n-propanol,and isopropanol,we outline various reaction paths and key intermediates for the electrochemical conversion of CO_(2)into these target products.We also summarize the current research status and recent advances in catalysts based on their elemental composition,and consider recent studies on the change of catalyst geometry and electronic structure,as well as the optimization of reaction systems to increase ECR performance.Finally,we analyze the challenges in the field of ECR to Oxys and provide an outlook on future directions for high-efficiency catalyst prediction and design,as well as the development of advanced reaction systems.

文摘Iron oxide nanoparticles(IONPs)have wide applications in the biomedical field due to their outstanding physical and chemical properties.However,the potential adverse effects and relatedmechanisms of IONPs in human organs,especially the lung,are still largely ignored.In this study,we found that group-modified IONPs(carboxylated,aminated and silica coated)induce slight lung cell damage(in terms of the cell cycle,reactive oxygen species(ROS)production,cell membrane integrity and DNA damage)at a sublethal dosage.However,aminated IONPs could release more iron ions in the lysosome than the other two types of IONPs,but the abnormally elevated iron ion concentration did not induce ferroptosis.In-triguingly,amino-modified IONPs aggravated the accumulation of intracellular peroxides induced by the ferroptosis activator RSL3 and thus caused ferroptosis in vitro,and the coadministration of amino-modified IONPs and RSL3 induced more severe lung injury in vivo.Therefore,our data revealed that the surface functionalization of IONPs plays an important role in determining their potential pulmonary toxicity,as surface modification influences their degradation behavior.These results provide guidance for the design of future IONPs and the corresponding safety evaluations and predictions.

文摘Dermal substitutes have provided a template for the regeneration and reconstruction of the dermis.However,the healed skin tissue often exhibits abnormal morphology and functionality,including scarring and inflammation.In this study,a composite bioink composed of methacrylated gelatin(GelMA)and chitosan oligosaccharide(COS)was proposed for printing a dermal scaffold using digital light processing(DLP)technology.The GelMA/COS bioink exhibited suitable porosity,swelling,degradation rate,and mechanical properties.The inclusion of COS demonstrated antibacterial effects against both Gram positive and Gram-negative bacteria,while simultaneously fostering the proliferation of human dermal fibroblasts(HDFs).Additionally,the application of COS could effectively reduce the expression levels of fibrosis-related genes,such as collagen I,collagen III,and fibronectin I.The three-dimensionally printed cell-laden dermal scaffold exhibited excellent shape fidelity and high cellular viability,facilitating the extension of HDFs along the scaffold and the simultaneous secretion of extracellular matrix proteins.Furthermore,the HDF-laden dermal scaffold transplanted into full-thickness skin defect sites in nude mice was shown to accelerate wound closure,reduce inflammation,and improve wound healing.Overall,the DLP-printed dermal scaffold provides an appealing approach for effectively treating full-thickness skin defects in clinical settings.

文摘Hypersplenism is a common complication of cirrhosis that is associated with significant impairment to patients'life quality.Splenectomy is often employed in clinical settings as a treatment for hypersplenism.While splenectomy is carried out for the purposes of alleviating hypersplenism-related adverse outcomes like thrombocytopenia or anaemia,studies have suggested alterations in the immune status,hemodynamics,and intestinal microbiota of patients following splenectomy,which may potentially influence the onset and progression of hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC).Additionally,patients have been found to face new health risks post-splenectomy,including infections and thrombosis,which could adversely impact their overall health and potentially increase the risk of HCC.Despite these findings,there is currently no consensus on whether splenectomy affects the risk of postoperative HCC in cirrhotic patients.This review synthesizes the pertinent literature on the incidence of HCC following splenectomy,with an emphasis on current evidence related to its physiology,pathophysiology,and epidemiology.Concepts such as immune status,hemodynamics changes,and intestinal microbiota in post-splenectomy patients are explored,in hopes that it can inform more individualized treatment approaches for patients.
