文摘Organic photovoltaics(OPVs)have achieved remarkable progress,with laboratory-scale single-junction devices now demonstrating power conversion efficiencies(PCEs)exceeding 20%.However,these efficiencies are highly dependent on the thickness of the photoactive layer,which is typically around 100 nm.This sensitivity poses a challenge for industrial-scale fabrication.Achieving high PCEs in thick-film OPVs is therefore essential.This review systematically examines recent advancements in thick-film OPVs,focusing on the fundamental mechanisms that lead to efficiency loss and strategies to enhance performance.We provide a comprehensive analysis spanning the complete photovoltaic process chain:from initial exciton generation and diffusion dynamics,through dissociation mechanisms,to subsequent charge-carrier transport,balance optimization,and final collection efficiency.Particular emphasis is placed on cutting-edge solutions in molecular engineering and device architecture optimization.By synthesizing these interdisciplinary approaches and investigating the potential contributions in stability,cost,and machine learning aspects,this work establishes comprehensive guidelines for designing high-performance OPVs devices with minimal thickness dependence,ultimately aiming to bridge the gap between laboratory achievements and industrial manufacturing requirements.

文摘In recent years the crucial role of CD4^(+)T cells in tumor immunomodulation has garnered increasing recognition.While conventional cancer immunotherapy research has predominantly focused on the cytotoxic function of CD8+T cells,emerging evidence has now shown that CD4^(+)T cells enhance antitumor immunity by delivering co-stimulatory signals,secreting cytokines,and promoting cytotoxic T lymphocyte(CTL)activation and display unique immunoregulatory capabilities through direct tumor cell killing or remodeling of the tumor microenvironment.The high heterogeneity and functional plasticity of CD4^(+)T cell subsets significantly influence clinical responses to immunotherapy with underlying mechanisms involving multi-level regulatory networks,including epigenetic modulation and metabolic reprogramming.Deciphering the functional heterogeneity of CD4^(+)T cells and the interactions with the tumor microenvironment will provide essential mechanistic insights for next-generation immunotherapies,such as immune checkpoint inhibitors and chimeric antigen receptor T(CAR-T)therapies,thereby advancing personalized treatment paradigms.

文摘The Wilczek–Zee connection(WZC)is a key concept in the study of topology of quantum systems.Here,we introduce the double Wilczek–Zee connection(DWZC)which naturally appears in the pure-state quantum geometric tensor(QGT),another important concept in the field of quantum geometry.The DWZC is Hermitian with respect to the two integer indices,just like the original Hermitian WZC.Based on the symmetric logarithmic derivative operator,we propose a mixed-state quantum geometric tensor.Using the symmetric properties of the DWZC,we find that the real part of the QGT is connected to the real part of the DWZC and the square of eigenvalue differences of the density matrix,whereas the imaginary part can be given in terms of the imaginary part of the DWZC and the cube of the eigenvalue differences.For density matrices with full rank or no full rank,the QGT can be given in terms of real and imaginary parts of the DWZC.

文摘Microbial communities play indispensable roles in the biogeochemical cycling of river ecosystems.However,the response patterns of microbial community diversity,niche breadth,and assembly to rainfall disturbances in complex mountainous riverine reservoirs remain inadequately understood.We employed high-throughput sequencing of 16S and 18S ribosomal RNA genes,along with multivariate statistical methods to systematically investigate prokaryotic and eukaryotic microorganisms in the riverine Zhaoshandu Reservoir,Wenzhou,Zhejiang,East China.Results show significant temporal heterogeneity in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic microbial communities,with eukaryotic microbes showing more pronounced temporal variation.Canonical correspondence analysis revealed that rainfall and water temperature were the key drivers shaping microbial communities.Additionally,eukaryotic microorganisms exhibited a more pronounced response to rainfall and water temperature compared to prokaryotes.Modified stochasticity ratio model indicated that deterministic processes predominantly governed microbial community assembly,with stronger deterministic processes in eukaryotic compared to prokaryotic microorganisms.Rainfall has significantly altered water quality,notably increasing phosphorus concentration in the water column.Total phosphorus and total nitrogen showed significant correlations with the niche breadth of prokaryotic and eukaryotic microorganisms,and phosphorus nutrients served as keystones and playing indispensable roles in their co-occurrence networks.A structural equation model confirmed the notable impacts of rainfall and water temperature on microbial community diversity,further revealing that rainfall indirectly influenced the niche breadth and co-occurrence relationships of microbial communities by altering phosphorus concentrations.The findings underscore the influence of rainfall and water temperature on microbial distribution,highlighting the sensitivity of riverine reservoir ecosystems to climate change.

文摘Cuprous oxide(Cu_(2)O) is one of the most promising catalysts for electrochemical conversion of CO_(2) into value-added C_(2) products.The efficiency of CO_(2)-to-C_(2) conversion is highly dependent on the Cu_(2)O crystal plane orientation and the corresponding adsorbed ^(*)CO species.Herein,we constructed high-index crystal planes(311) in Cu_(2)O(CO-Cu_(2)O) via a facile self-selective CO-induced strategy under a CO atmosphere,which was verified by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy(HR-TEM) and atomic force microscopy(AFM) results.By exploiting the high surface energy of the high index crystal planes,^(*)CO species are stabilized in CO-Cu_(2)O during CO_(2)RR,resulting in exceptional catalytic performance for CO_(2)-to-C_(2)products.In situ infrared spectroscopy revealed that both atop-type(^(*)CO_(atop)) and hollow-type(^(*)CO_(hollow)) adsorption of ^(*)CO species occurred on the CO-Cu_(2)O.The asymmetric C-C coupling energy barrier between ^(*)CO_(atop) and ^(*)CO_(hollow) in(311) crystal plane decreases by 47.8 % compared to the symmetric coupling of ^(*)CO_(atop) in conventional(100) crystal planes.Consequently,the Faradaic efficiency of C_(2) products generated with CO-Cu_(2)O was increased by as high as 100 % compared to that with pristine Cu_(2)O.

文摘Ferroptosis is an iron-dependent,excessive lipid peroxidation-driven form of regulated cell death.The core mechanisms of ferroptosis include lipid peroxidation cascade,System X_(c)^(−)-glutathioneglutathione peroxidase 4 axis,iron and lipid metabolism chaos,the NAD(P)Hferroptosis suppressor protein 1—ubiquinone axis,and GTP cyclohydrolase 1 tetrahydrobiopterin-dihydrofolate reductase axis.Cuproptosis is triggered by copper ions and involves ferredoxin 1-mediated aggregation of lipoylated proteins,differing fundamentally from ferroptosis.Both ferroptosis and cuproptosis exhibit dual roles(promote or inhibit)in cancers.And the sensitivity of different cancer types to ferroptosis varies,which may depend on special metabolic signatures(e.g.,E-cadherin loss causes epithelial–mesenchymal transition,making tumors gain resistance to ferroptosis)and expression of antioxidant defense regulators(e.g.,high expression of Acyl-CoA synthetase long-chain family member 4 and lncFASA make tumors easily sensitive).At present,traditional Chinese herbal medicine,combination therapy,and nano-delivery technology correlated with ferroptosis are being hotly studied by researchers in order to realize clinical translation of ferroptosis.In this review,we have summarized the core mechanisms of ferroptosis,ferroptosis differences from cuproptosis,its impact on cancers,and its translational implications in cancer therapy,helping readers quickly get the new information and horizons on them.

文摘Objective Anoectochilus roxburghii is a valuable medicinal and ornamental plant.The aim of this study is to investigate the morphological and biochemical responses during the flower development stages of A.roxburghii,and to assess the effects of exogenous polyamines(PAs)on bud differentiation and metabolism,thereby providing a theoretical basis for understanding the flowering form and physiology of A.roxburghii.Methods In this study,morphological and biochemical responses in flower development stages of A.roxburghii were investigated using paraffin sections and stereomicroscope.A.roxburghii was divided into five periods,including vegetative growth period,flower bud period,flowering period,late flowering period and fruiting period.During the flowering phase,specific biochemical parameters were measured,including soluble sugar content,superoxide dismutase(SOD)activity,soluble protein content,peroxidase(POD)activity,and catalase(CAT)activity.These measurements were conducted to understand the biochemical changes occurring within A.roxburghii during its flowering process.Furthermore,the effects of PAs on bud differentiation were examined.Additionally,the activities of S-adenosylmethionine decarboxylase(SAMDC)and polyamine oxidase(PAO),as well as the content of polyphenols,polysaccharides,and flavonoids in A.roxburghii,were measured after PA treatment to evaluate the metabolic changes induced by exogenous PAs.Results During the flowering phase of A.roxburghii,soluble sugar content and SOD activity were steadily declining.Soluble protein content was initially increasing and then reducing,and POD and CAT activities showed opposite pattern.In addition,the effects of exogenous PAs on bud differentiation were investigated.Results showed that 3 mmol/L putrescine or 0.3 mmol/L spermidine significantly promoted the bud differentiation of A.roxburghii and advanced the flowering.The activities of SAMDC,PAO,and the content of polyphenols,polysaccharides and flavonoids in A.roxburghii significantly increased after PA treatment,demonstrating that exogenous PA can accelerate metabolism and improved the active ingredients content.Conclusion The flower development of A.roxburghii was divided into five stages,with significant changes in soluble sugar,protein,POD,SOD,CAT,MDA,and PRO levels.Exogenous putrescine and spermidine enhanced bud differentiation and accelerated flowering,increasing SAMDC and PAO activities,suggesting accelerated PA metabolism.PAs also improved active component content.These findings provide a theoretical basis for studying flower morphology and PA-induced flowering regulation of A.roxburghii.

文摘Fungi play crucial roles in nutrient acquisition,plant growth promotion,and the enhancement of resistance to both abiotic and biotic stresses.However,studies on the fungal communities associated with peas (Pisum sativum L.) remain limited.In this study,we systematically investigated the ecological effects of host niches (soil,root,stem,leaf,and pod) and genotypes on the diversity and composition of fungal communities in peas using a multi-level approach that encompassed pattern recognition (β-diversity decomposition),mechanism validation (neutral community model testing),and dynamic tracking methods (migration pathway source-tracking).The results revealed that the dominant fungal phyla across niches and genotypes were Ascomycota,Basidiomycota,and Mortierellomycota,and the community structures of the soil–plant continuum were primarily determined by the pea niches rather than genotypes.β-diversity decomposition was largely attributed to species replacement rather than richness differences,indicating strong niche specificity and microbial replacement across microhabitats.Neutral model analysis revealed that stochastic processes influenced genotypeassociated communities,while deterministic processes played a dominant role in niche-based community assembly.Source-tracking analysis identified niche-to-niche fungal migration,with Erysiphe,Fusarium,Cephaliophora,Ascobolus,Alternaria,and Aspergillus as the key genera.Migration rates from exogenous to endogenous niches were low (1.3–61.5%),whereas those within exogenous (64.4–83.7%) or endogenous (73.9–96.4%) compartments were much higher,suggesting that the pea epidermis acts as a selective barrier that filters and enriches microbial communities prior to internal colonization.This study provides comprehensive insights into the mechanisms of host filtering,enrichment and microbial sourcing,which increases our understanding of the assembly rules of the pea-associated fungal microbiome.
文摘BaFe_(12)O_(19)(BaM)thin films with thicknesses ranging from 15 nm–200 nm were deposited on Al_(2)O_(3)(0001)substrates by pulsed laser deposition(PLD).X-ray diffraction patterns show that a buffer layer with a thickness of nearly 60 nm forms on the substrate,and then a c-axis perpendicularly oriented Ba M thin film grows on the buffer layer.Atomic force microscopy results indicate that the Ba M thin film exhibits a spiral island growth mode on the buffer layer.Magnetic hysteresis loop results confirm that the buffer layer exhibits no significant magnetic anisotropy,while the Ba M thin film exhibits perpendicular magnetic anisotropy.The out-of-plane coercivity decreases with increasing Ba M thin-film thickness due to the combined effect of grain size growth and lattice strain relaxation.The 200 nm thick film exhibits optimum magnetic properties with M_(s)=319 emu/cm^(3) and H_(c)=1546 Oe.

文摘Backfill is routinely adopted as a ground support measure for underground mines.However,ground stability enhancement by backfill has received limited research attention.This is likely to be because of the conventional assumption that the fill material exhibits a significantly lower stiffness than the host rocks.Significantly,a recent pioneering work revealed the time-dependent ground stability around a backfilled stope with vertical walls through numerical modeling.In practice,underground stopes typically exhibit a higher or lower degree of inclination.This alters the stress state in peripheral rocks and may induce severe instability and dilution,particularly in stope-hanging walls.Hence,it is imperative to analyze the time-dependent ground stability of inclined backfilled stopes for backfill structure design.Therefore,comprehensive numerical simulations were performed using FLAC3D to address this knowledge deficiency by incorporating a coupled analysis of the backfill consolidation behavior and long-term creep deformation in surrounding rocks.The ground stability was evaluated based on the confinement effectiveness,strength-stress ratio,stress path relative to the yield surface,and time-dependent stress redistribution in the rocks.A parametric study revealed that the inclination angle of the backfilled stope reduced the confinement effectiveness in the host rocks when the wall creep was minor.This exacerbated the rock mass sloughing potential.However,a backfilled stope with a shallower dip angle achieved superior ground stability enhancement when the creep deformation was substantial,by applying a more significant compression on the backfill and effectively mobilizing its passive support performance during consolidation.Additional simulations were conducted to analyze the effects of stope height and width,mine depth,mechanical properties of rocks,backfill compressibility,and filling gap on the time-dependent stress redistribution and stability around the inclined backfilled stope.

文摘Investigating structural and hydroxyl group effects in electrooxidation of alcohols to value-added products by solid-acid electrocatalysts is essential for upgrading biomass alcohols.Herein,we report efficient electrocatalytic oxidations of saturated alcohols(C_(1)-C_(6))to selectively form formate using Ni Co hydroxide(Ni Co-OH)derived Ni Co_(2)O_(4)solid-acid electrocatalysts with balanced Lewis acid(LASs)and Brønsted acid sites(BASs).Thermal treatment transforms BASs-rich(89.6%)Ni Co-OH into Ni Co_(2)O_(4)with nearly equal distribution of LASs(53.1%)and BASs(46.9%)which synergistically promote adsorption and activation of OH-and alcohol molecules for enhanced oxidation activity.In contrast,BASs-enriched Ni Co-OH facilitates formation of higher valence metal sites,beneficial for water oxidation.The combined experimental studies and theoretical calculation imply the oxidation ability of C1-C6alcohols increases as increased number of hydroxyl groups and decreased HOMO-LUMO gaps:methanol(C_(1))<ethylene glycol(C_(2))<glycerol(C3)<meso-erythritol(C4)<xylitol(C5)<sorbitol(C6),while the formate selectivity shows the opposite trend from 100 to 80%.This study unveils synergistic roles of LASs and BASs,as well as hydroxyl group effect in electro-upgrading of alcohols using solid-acid electrocatalysts.
