Correlating gene expression levels with transcription factor binding sites facilitates identification of key transcription factors from transcriptome data.

Identification of key transcription factors from transcriptome data by correlating gene expression levels with transcription factor binding sites is important for transcriptome data analysis. In a typical scenario, we always set a threshold to filter the top ranked differentially expressed genes and top ranked transcription factor binding sites. However, correlation analysis of filtered data can often result in spurious correlations.

Heterostructures of Cut Carbon Nanotube-Filled Array of TiO Nanotubes for New Module of Photovoltaic Devices.

In this work, a new photovoltaic device was prepared. The device uses titanium (Ti) foil/TiO nanotubes as the photoanode and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) as a photosensitizer. Titanium dioxide nanotube arrays (TiO-NTs) were prepared by one-step anodic oxidation.

Magnetic Field Enhanced Electrocatalytic Oxygen Evolution of NiFe-LDH/Co O p-n Heterojunction Supported on Nickel Foam.

Here, a strategy to regulate the electron density distribution by integrating NiFe layered double hydroxides (NiFe-LDH) nanosheets with Co O nanowires to construct the NiFe-LDH/Co O p-n heterojunction supported on nickel foam (NiFe-LDH/Co O /NF) for electrocatalytic oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is proposed. The p-n heterojunction can induce the charge redistribution in the heterogeneous interface to reach Fermi level alignment, thus modifying the adsorption free energy of *OOH and improving the intrinsic activity of the catalyst. As a result, NiFe-LDH/Co O /NF exhibits outstanding OER performance with a low overpotential of 274 mV at a current density of 50 mA cm and long-time stability over 90 h.

Crystalline-Amorphous Ni P O /NiMoO Nanoarrays for Alkaline Water Electrolysis: Enhanced Catalytic Activity via In Situ Surface Reconstruction.

Water electrolysis affords a promising approach to large-scale hydrogen yield, but its efficiency is restrained by the sluggish water dissociation kinetics. Here, an efficient bifunctional electrocatalyst of in situ formed crystalline nickel metaphosphate on amorphous NiMoO nanoarrays supported on nickel foam (c-Ni P O /a-NiMoO /NF) for both hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in alkaline solution is reported. The c-Ni P O /a-NiMoO /NF can deliver a current density of 10 mA cm at a low potential of 78 mV for HER, and a current density of 20 mA cm at an overpotential of 250 mV for OER.

Smart Mn Sensing via Quenching on Dual Fluorescence of Eu Complex-Modified TiO Nanoparticles.

In this work, titania (TiO) nanoparticles modified by Eu(TTA)Phen complexes (ETP) were prepared by a simple solvothermal method developing a fluorescence Mn pollutant sensing system. The characterization results indicate that the ETP cause structural deformation and redshifts of the UV-visible light absorptions of host TiO nanoparticles. The ETP also reduce the crystallinity and crystallite size of TiO nanoparticles.

Understanding the Effect of Second Metal on CoM (M = Ni, Cu, Zn) Metal-Organic Frameworks for Electrocatalytic Oxygen Evolution Reaction.

Co-based bimetallic metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have emerged as a kind of promising electrocatalyst for oxygen evolution reaction (OER). However, most of present works for Co-based bimetallic MOFs are still in try-and-wrong stage, while the OER performance trend and the underlying structure-function relationship remain unclear. To address this challenge, Co-based MOFs on carbon cloth (CC) (CoM MOFs/CC, M = Zn, Ni, and Cu) are prepared through a room-temperature method, and their structure and OER performance are compared systematically.
