Application Progress of Culturomics in the Isolated Culture of Rhizobacteria: A Review.

Comprehending the structure and function of rhizobacteria components and their regulation are crucial for sustainable agricultural management. However, obtaining comprehensive species information for most bacteria in the natural environment, particularly rhizobacteria, presents a challenge using traditional culture methods. To obtain diverse and pure cultures of rhizobacteria, this study primarily reviews the evolution of rhizobacteria culturomics and associated culture methods.

Tuning ferroelectric photovoltaic performance in 3-CuNbO through compressive strain engineering: a first-principles study.

Most ferroelectric oxides exhibit relatively wide bandgaps, which pose limitations on their suitability for photovoltaics application. CuNbO possesses potential ferroelectric properties with an 3 polar structure that facilitate the separation of charge carriers under illumination, promoting the generation of photovoltaic effects. The optical and ferroelectric properties of 3-CuNbO, as well as the effect of strain on the properties are investigated by first-principles calculation in this paper.

Theoretical study on ferroelectric nitrides with super-wurtzite structures for solar energy conversion applications.

Polarized structured nitride semiconductors are attractive due to their unique and environment-friendly electronic properties. The stability, ferroelectricity and photocatalytic and photovoltaic properties of super-wurtzite MgXN (X = Bi, Mo, Nb, Sb, Ta, Tc and W) were determined based on first principles calculations in this study. The calculated results indicate that MgXN (X = Sb, Ta, Bi and Nb) are stable polar nitrides by phonon frequencies, elastic coefficients and ferroelectric analysis.
