Controlled Growth of Single-Walled Carbon Nanotube Films by Iron-assisted Floating Solid Catalyst Chemical Vapor Deposition.

Single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) films, with exciting electronic properties are increasingly important for next-generation technologies. Here, an Iron-assisted floating solid catalyst chemical vapor deposition (IA-FSCCVD) method is developed for the controlled growth of high-quality and high-purity SWNT films. Titanium carbide nanoparticles with a high melting point are used as the solid catalysts, which provide a stable template for SWNT growth through the perpendicular growth mode.

Iron Monomers or Trimers on Nitrogen-Doped Carbon: Which Is Better for the Electrocatalytic Nitrogen Reduction Reaction?

The electrocatalytic nitrogen reduction reaction (NRR) presents an alternative method for the Haber-Bosch process, and single-atom catalysts (SACs) to achieve efficient NRR have attracted considerable attention in the past decades. However, whether SACs are more suitable for NRR compared to atomic-cluster catalysts (ACCs) remains to be studied. Herein, we have successfully synthesized both the Fe monomers (Fe) and trimers (Fe) on nitrogen-doped carbon catalysts.

Stabilizing 4.6 V LiCoO via Er and Mg Trace Doping at Li-Site and Co-Site Respectively.

Charging LiCoO to high voltages yields alluring specific capacities, yet the deleterious phase-transitions lead to significant capacity degradation. Herein, this study demonstrates a novel strategy to stabilize LiCoO at 4.6 V by doping with Er and Mg at the Li-site and Co-site, respectively, which is different from the traditional method of doping foreign elements solely at the Co-site.

The protective role of maternal genetic immunization on maternal-fetal health and welfare.

Pregnancy is a critical period associated with alterations in physiologic, biologic, and immunologic processes, which can affect maternal-fetal health through development of several infectious diseases. At birth, neonates have an immature immune system that makes them more susceptible to severe viral infections and diseases. For this reason, different maternal nutritional and immunization interventions have been used to improve the immune and health status of the mother and her neonate through passive immunity.

Assessment of Galileo High Accuracy Service (HAS) test signals and preliminary positioning performance.

The Galileo High Accuracy Service (HAS) is a GNSS augmentation that provides precise satellite corrections to users worldwide for free directly through Galileo's E6 signal. The HAS service provides free PPP corrections from the Galileo constellation and the Internet, with targeted real-time 95% positioning performance of better than 20 cm horizontal and 40 cm vertical error after 5 min of convergence time globally and shorter in Europe. The HAS initial service, under validation at the time of writing, provides these capabilities with a reduced performance (based on the current Galileo stations network).

Precise positioning using smartphones has been a topic of interest especially after Google decided to provide raw GNSS measurement through their Android platform. Currently, the greatest limitations in precise positioning with smartphone Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) sensors are the quality and availability of satellite-to-smartphone ranging measurements. Many papers have assessed the quality of GNSS pseudorange and carrier-phase measurements in various environments.

Breaking the Volcano-Shaped Relationship for Highly Efficient Electrocatalytic Nitrogen Reduction: A Computational Guideline.

The volcano-shaped relationship is very common in electrocatalytic nitrogen reduction reaction (e-NRR) and is usually caused by the competition between the first and last hydrogenation steps. How to break such a relationship to further improve the catalytic performance remains a great challenge. Herein, using first-principles calculations, we investigate a range of transition-metal (TM)-doped Cu-based single-atom alloys (TM-Cu(111)) as catalysts for e-NRR.

Riemannian Surface on Carbon Anodes Enables Li-Ion Storage at -35 °C.

Since sluggish Li desolvation leads to severe capacity degradation of carbon anodes at subzero temperatures, it is urgently desired to modulate electron configurations of surface carbon atoms toward high capacity for Li-ion batteries. Herein, a carbon-based anode material (O-DF) was strategically synthesized to construct the Riemannian surface with a positive curvature, which exhibits a high reversible capacity of 624 mAh g with an 85.9% capacity retention at 0.

Evoking ordered vacancies in metallic nanostructures toward a vacated Barlow packing for high-performance hydrogen evolution.

Metallic nanostructures are commonly densely packed into a few packing variants with slightly different atomic packing factors. The structural aspects and physicochemical properties related with the vacancies in such nanostructures are rarely explored because of lack of an effective way to control the introduction of vacancy sites. Highly voided metallic nanostructures with ordered vacancies are however energetically high lying and very difficult to synthesize.

Self-inhibition effect of metal incorporation in nanoscaled semiconductors.

There has been a persistent effort to understand and control the incorporation of metal impurities in semiconductors at nanoscale, as it is important for semiconductor processing from growth, doping to making contact. Previously, the injection of metal atoms into nanoscaled semiconductor, with concentrations orders of magnitude higher than the equilibrium solid solubility, has been reported, which is often deemed to be detrimental. Here our theoretical exploration reveals that this colossal injection is because gold or aluminum atoms tend to substitute Si atoms and thus are not mobile in the lattice of Si.

H3F3A G34 mutation DNA sequencing and G34W immunohistochemistry analysis in 366 cases of giant cell tumors of bone and other bone tumors.

H3F3A mutations and the expression of glycine 34 to tryptophan (G34W) mutants in giant cell tumors of bone (GCTBs) and other bone tumors were detected to compare H3F3A mutation types and the expression of G34W-mutant protein in order to provide a theoretical basis for using H3F3A mutations as a diagnostic and differential-diagnostic tool for GCTBs. A total of 366 bone tumor cases were investigated. The cases involved 215 men and 151 women, whose median age was 29 years (3-84).

sp/sp Hybridized Carbon as an Anode with Extra Li-Ion Storage Capacity: Construction and Origin.

Doping in carbon anodes can introduce active sites, usually leading to extra capacity in Li-ion batteries (LIBs), but the underlying reasons have not been uncovered deeply.

Engineering Platinum-Oxygen Dual Catalytic Sites via Charge Transfer towards Highly Efficient Hydrogen Evolution.

A dual-site catalyst allows for a synergetic reaction in the close proximity to enhance catalysis. It is highly desirable to create dual-site interfaces in single-atom system to maximize the effect. Herein, we report a cation-deficient electrostatic anchorage route to fabricate an atomically dispersed platinum-titania catalyst (Pt /Ti O ), which shows greatly enhanced hydrogen evolution activity, surpassing that of the commercial Pt/C catalyst in mass by a factor of 53.

Regulating Charge Transfer of Lattice Oxygen in Single-Atom-Doped Titania for Hydrogen Evolution.

Single-atom catalysts have attracted much attention. Reported herein is that regulating charge transfer of lattice oxygen atoms in serial single-atom-doped titania enables tunable hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) activity. First-principles calculations disclose that the activity of lattice oxygen for the HER can be regularly promoted by substituting its nearest metal atom, and doping-induced charge transfer plays an essential role.

Multiscale Buffering Engineering in Silicon-Carbon Anode for Ultrastable Li-Ion Storage.

Silicon-carbon (Si-C) hybrids have been proven to be the most promising anodes for the next-generation lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) due to their superior theoretical capacity (∼4200 mAh g). However, it is still a critical challenge to apply this material for commercial LIB anodes because of the large volume expansion of Si, unstable solid-state interphase (SEI) layers, and huge internal stresses upon lithiation/delithiation. Here, we propose an engineering concept of multiscale buffering, taking advantage of a nanosized Si-C nanowire architecture through fabricating specific microsized wool-ball frameworks to solve all the above-mentioned problems.

Two-Dimensional Unilamellar Cation-Deficient Metal Oxide Nanosheet Superlattices for High-Rate Sodium Ion Energy Storage.

Cation-deficient two-dimensional (2D) materials, especially atomically thin nanosheets, are highly promising electrode materials for electrochemical energy storage that undergo metal ion insertion reactions, yet they have rarely been achieved thus far. Here, we report a Ti-deficient 2D unilamellar lepidocrocite-type titanium oxide (TiO) nanosheet superlattice for sodium storage. The superlattice composed of alternately restacked defective TiO and nitrogen-doped graphene monolayers exhibits an outstanding capacity of ∼490 mA h g at 0.

Ultrathin graphdiyne film on graphene through solution-phase van der Waals epitaxy.

Graphdiyne (GDY) is an ordered two-dimensional (2D) carbon allotrope comprising sp- and sp-hybridized carbon atoms with high degrees of π-conjugation, which features a natural band gap and superior electric properties. However, the synthesis of one- or few-layer GDY remains challenging because of the free rotation around alkyne-aryl single bonds and the lack of thickness control. We report the facile synthesis of an ultrathin single-crystalline GDY film on graphene through a solution-phase van der Waals epitaxial strategy.

What Drives Metal-Surface Step Bunching in Graphene Chemical Vapor Deposition?

Compressive strain relaxation of a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) grown graphene overlayer has been considered to be the main driving force behind metal surface step bunching (SB) in CVD graphene growth. Here, by combining theoretical studies with experimental observations, we prove that the SB can occur even in the absence of a compressive strain, is enabled by the rapid diffusion of metal adatoms beneath the graphene and is driven by the release of the bending energy of the graphene overlayer in the vicinity of steps. Based on this new understanding, we explain a number of experimental observations such as the temperature dependence of SB, and how SB depends on the thickness of the graphene film.

[Effect of inflammaging on periodontitis].

Inflammaging is the chronic, systematic, and controllable upregulation of a pro-inflammation state with advancing age. Chronic low-grade inflammation accompanied by sustained stimuli is correlated with various age-related diseases (ARDs). Recent studies on ARDs have prompted further research interest in the inner mechanisms underlying inflammaging to establish prevention and treatment plans for inflammatory diseases.

Greatly Enhanced Anticorrosion of Cu by Commensurate Graphene Coating.

Metal corrosion is a long-lasting problem in history and ultrahigh anticorrosion is one ultimate pursuit in the metal-related industry. Graphene, in principle, can be a revolutionary material for anticorrosion due to its excellent impermeability to any molecule or ion (except for protons). However, in real applications, it is found that the metallic graphene forms an electrochemical circuit with the protected metals to accelerate the corrosion once the corrosive fluids leaks into the interface.

For many applications of graphene, large-area high-quality (ideally of single-crystal) material will be enabling. Since the first growth on copper foil a decade ago, inch-sized single-crystal graphene has been achieved.

Drug-induced gingival overgrowth (DIGO) is characterized by fibrous gingival hyperplasia and increased gingival volume. DIGO is histologically associated with proliferation of cells and deposition of extracellular matrices, particularly collagen. Integrin α2β1 is related to collagen phagocytosis and involved in the occurrence and progression of DIGO.

Influences of seasons, N/P ratios and chemical compounds on phosphorus removal performance in algal pond combined with constructed wetlands.

Nitrogen (N) and phosphorous (P) are main contaminants and P removal was restrained by several factors: season, N/P, and chemical compounds (CCs) in water ecosystems. In this paper, two algal ponds combined with constructed wetlands were built to increase the removal performance. Different hydraulic retention time (HRT), different N/P and chemical compounds were chosen to investigate the influences of the above factors on the contaminant removal performance.
