Inverse opal anatase/rutile TiO multi-heterojunctions enable efficient photoelectrochemical water splitting.

TiO has garnered significant attention in the field of photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting due to its non-toxicity, cost-effectiveness, and exceptional photochemical stability. However, its practical efficiency in H production is greatly hindered by inherent limitations such as low electron mobility, a short carrier diffusion length, and a wide optical band gap. Herein, we present a strategy of combining a crystal phase heterojunction and crystal facet heterojunction to enhance electron-hole separation efficiency in TiO.

Flexible electrochemical energy storage devices and related applications: recent progress and challenges.

Given the escalating demand for wearable electronics, there is an urgent need to explore cost-effective and environmentally friendly flexible energy storage devices with exceptional electrochemical properties. However, the existing types of flexible energy storage devices encounter challenges in effectively integrating mechanical and electrochemical performances. This review is intended to provide strategies for the design of components in flexible energy storage devices (electrode materials, gel electrolytes, and separators) with the aim of developing energy storage systems with excellent performance and deformability.

Polymer Chainmail: Steric Hindrance and Charge Compensation of Anion-Doped PEDOT to Boost Stress Deformation of Compressible Supercapacitor.

Conducting polymers with high theoretical capacitance and deformability are among the optimal candidates for compressible supercapacitor electrode materials. However, achieving both mechanical and electrochemical stabilities in a single electrode remains a great challenge. To address this issue, the "Polymer Chainmail" is proposed with reversible deformation capability and enhances stability because of the steric hindrance and charge compensation effect of doped anions.

IL-33-ST2 pathway regulates AECII transdifferentiation by targeting alveolar macrophage in a bronchopulmonary dysplasia mouse model.

Evidence points to the indispensable function of alveolar macrophages (AMs) in normal lung development and tissue homeostasis. However, the importance of AMs in bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) has not been elucidated. Here, we identified a significant role of abnormal AM proliferation and polarization in alveolar dysplasia during BPD, which is closely related to the activation of the IL-33-ST2 pathway.

[Dynamic expression and role of SUMO-modified C/EBPα in preterm rats with bronchopulmonary dysplasisa induced by hyperoxia exposure].

Objective: To study the expression of SUMO-modified CCAAT enhancer binding protein α (C/EBPα) in preterm rat model of bronchopulmonary dysplasisa (BPD) induced by hyperoxia exposure and its role.

Methods: Eighteen preterm rats were randomly divided into an air group and a hyperoxia group (n=9 each). The model of BPD was prepared in preterm rats exposed to hyperoxia.

Expression profile analysis of long non-coding RNA associated with vincristine resistance in colon cancer cells by next-generation sequencing.

Vincristine (VCR) is widely used in tumor treatment. However, long-term use of this drug can make tumor cells resistant to it. Furthermore, the mechanisms underlying resistance development are unclear.
