Each step in the catalyst synthesis process plays an important role in tuning the catalyst structures. For zeolite-supported nickel catalysts, we found the conventional calcination-reduction method typically leads to the formation of large nickel particles, but a pre-aging in hydrogen or nitrogen at a low temperature prior to final reduction can result in ultra-small nickel nanoparticles in a metallic state. This pre-aging treatment facilitates the interaction between Ni cations and silanol nests on zeolite before the decomposition of the metal salt, leading to the formation of nanoparticles with an average diameter of ~1.

Article Synopsis
  • This study focuses on the impact of climate change and wetland dynamics on methane emissions in the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau (QTP), which is important for understanding methane contributions globally.
  • It identifies that the uncertainty in estimating methane emissions largely comes from insufficient data on wetland area changes.
  • The research shows that climate change has significantly affected methane emissions over the years, with wetland inundation dynamics accounting for about 22% to 27% of the increase in emissions from 1960 to 2020, and future projections indicate a continuing rise in emissions influenced by these dynamics.

Ultrasound localization microscopy is a super-resolution vascular imaging technique which has garnered substantial interest as a tool for small animal neuroimaging, neuroscience research, and the characterization of vascular pathologies. In the pursuit of increasingly high-fidelity reconstructions of microvasculature, there remains several outstanding questions concerning this sub-diffraction imaging technology, including the accurate reconstruction of microvessels approaching the capillary scale and the pragmatic challenges associated with long data acquisition times. In the context of small animal neurovascular imaging, we posit that increasing the ultrasound imaging frequency is a straightforward approach to enable higher concentrations of microbubble contrast agents, thus increasing the likelihood of microvascular/capillary mapping and decreasing the imaging duration.

Riparian zones play a crucial role in reducing nitrate pollution in both terrestrial and aquatic environments. Complex deposition action and dynamic hydrological processes will change the grain size distribution of riparian sediments, affect the residence time of substances, and have a cascade effect on the biogeochemical process of nitrate nitrogen (NO-N). However, simultaneous studies on NO-N transformation and the potential drivers in riparian zones are still lacking, especially neglecting the effect of sediment grain size (SGS).

Organic afterglow with long-persistent luminescence (LPL) after photoexcitation is highly attractive, but the realization of narrowband afterglow with small full-width at half-maximum (FWHM) is a huge challenge since it is intrinsically contradictory to the triplet- and solid-state emission nature of organic afterglow. Here, narrow-band, long-lived, and full-color organic LPL is realized by isolating multi-resonant thermally activated delayed fluorescent (MR-TADF) fluorophores in a glassy steroid-type host through a facile melt-cooling treatment. Such prepared host becomes capable of exciton dissociation and recombination (EDR) upon photoirradiation for both long-lived fluorescence and phosphorescence; and, the efficient Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) from the host to various MR-TADF emitters leads to high-performance LPL, exhibiting small FWHM of 33 nm, long persistent time over 10 s, and facile color-tuning in a wide range from deep-blue to orange (414-600 nm).
