First Report of Leaf Spot Caused by on (Maxim) Komar. in China.

Artemisia stolonifera (Maxim.) Komar., also known as the 'elite of Artemisia', is currently widely planted in Jiangxi, Hubei, and other provinces in China.

Integrated transcriptomic and metabolomic analysis reveals the molecular profiles of dynamic variation in var. suffering from bulb rot.

var. , known as Longya lily, is a well-known medicinal and edible plant in China. Bulb rot is a common disease in Longya lily cultivation that severely affects the yield and quality of lilies.

Epiphytic Patterns Impacting Metabolite Diversity of Rhizomes Based on Widely Targeted Metabolomics.

Nakaike, a fern widely distributed in China and some countries in Southeast Asia, is a commonly used herbal medicine in tonic diets and Chinese patented medicine. The metabolites of its dried rhizomes are easily affected by the epiphytic pattern, whether on rock tunnels (RTs) or tree trunks (TTs). The current research focused on rhizomes from these two patterns, RTs and TTs (further divided into subclasses TA, TB, TC, and TD, based on trunk differences) and conducted a widely targeted metabolomics analysis.

Direct recycling of spent Li-ion batteries: Challenges and opportunities toward practical applications.

With the exponential expansion of electric vehicles (EVs), the disposal of Li-ion batteries (LIBs) is poised to increase significantly in the coming years. Effective recycling of these batteries is essential to address environmental concerns and tap into their economic value. Direct recycling has recently emerged as a promising solution at the laboratory level, offering significant environmental benefits and economic viability compared to pyrometallurgical and hydrometallurgical recycling methods.

Rapid Emergence of the Reassortant 2.3.4.4b H5N2 Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza Viruses in a Live Poultry Market in Xinjiang, Northwest China.

Live poultry markets (LPMs) play a key role in reassorting and spreading avian influenza viruses (AIVs). In 2018, four strains of H5N2 AIVs were isolated from domestic ducks () during AIV surveillance from the LPM in Urumqi, Xinjiang, China. All gene segments of the isolates were amplified by reverse transcription-PCR and sequenced; then, the viral genetic mutations, reassortant, and origin were analyzed.

Novel reassortant 2.3.4.4B H5N6 highly pathogenic avian influenza viruses circulating among wild, domestic birds in Xinjiang, Northwest China.

Background: The H5 avian influenza viruses (AIVs) of clade 2.3.4.

Act in contravention: a non-planar coupled electrode design utilizing "tip effect" for ultra-high areal capacity, long cycle life zinc-based batteries.

Aqueous zinc-based batteries (ZBBs) have great potential as commercial energy storage devices. However, the poor cycling stability of zinc anode under high areal capacity limits their further application. Herein, a coupled non-planar electrode design achieved by the tailored flat-top pyramid carbon felt (TCF) is proposed for ZBBs, which can effectively increase the zinc deposition sites, adjust the deposition morphology, optimize the current and electrolyte flow velocity distribution and provide necessary space for zinc plating.

Constructing Phase-Transitional NiS@Nitrogen-Doped Carbon Cathode Material with High Rate Capability and Cycling Stability for Alkaline Zinc-Based Batteries.

Alkaline zinc-based batteries are becoming promising candidates for green and economical energy-storage systems, thanks to their low cost and high energy density. The exploitation of the stable cathode materials with high rate capability and cycling stability is crucial for their further development. Herein, a series of NiS coated with nitrogen-doped carbon (denoted as NiS@NC) compounds ( = 0.

Dendrite-Free Zinc Deposition Induced by Tin-Modified Multifunctional 3D Host for Stable Zinc-Based Flow Battery.

Zinc (Zn) plating/stripping is a promising anodic electrochemical reaction for aqueous batteries because of its high safety, low cost, two electron transfer, and rapid reaction kinetics. However, the notorious dendrite growth of Zn has become one of the biggest obstacles hindering its further commercialization. A multifunctional binder-free tin (Sn)-modified 3D carbon felt anodic host (SH) is constructed for aqueous zinc-based flow batteries (ZFB) via a facile and scalable strategy.
