Aqueous zinc-ion batteries are considered as an ideal substitute for lithium-ion batteries due to their abundant resource storage, high safety, and low price. However, zinc anodes exhibit poor reversibility and cyclic stability in most conventional aqueous electrolytes. Herein, an environmentally friendly Zn(CHSO) electrolyte is proposed to solve the problems of common aqueous electrolytes.

This paper presents a facile and effective strategy to regulate the morphology of a zinc-based metal-organic framework (Zn-trimesic acid, Zn-BTC) by adjusting the ethanol content in a solvent, which can effectively change the pore structure of Zn-BTC derived porous carbon (PC). The optimal PC prepared in 50% ethanol displays a rodlike structure with a large specific surface area (SSA) of 1930 m g and an average pore size of 2.

Here, we found that the Arabidopsis Rho-like GTPase 6 mutant (rop6) is less sensitive to Fe-deficiency responses and has reduced levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) compared to wild-type (WT), while AtROP6-overexpressing seedlings exhibit more sensitivity to Fe-deficiency responses and has higher levels of ROS compared to WT. Moreover, treatment with H O improves the sensitivity to Fe-deficiency responses in rop6 mutants.

This study demonstrated that ROS play a critical role in Fe deficiency-induced signaling at an early stage in . Once ROS production has been initiated, prolonged Fe starvation leads to activation of ROS scavenging mechanisms.

Recent studies have demonstrated that nitric oxide (NO) is involved in the Fe-deficiency response through hormonal signaling pathways. Here, we report that NO plays a significant role in Malus xiaojinensis, an Fe-efficient woody plant.
