Porous crystalline conjugated macrocyclic materials and their energy storage applications.

Porous crystalline conjugated macrocyclic materials (CMMs) possess high porosity, tunable structure/function and efficient charge transport ability owing to their planar macrocyclic conjugated π-electron system, which make them promising candidates for applications in energy storage. In this review, we thoroughly summarize the timely development of porous crystalline CMMs in energy storage related fields. Specifically, we summarize and discuss their structures and properties.

HERVK-mediated regulation of neighboring genes: implications for breast cancer prognosis.

Human endogenous retroviruses (HERVs) are the remnants of ancient retroviral infections integrated into the human genome. Although most HERVs are silenced or rendered inactive by various regulatory mechanisms, they retain the potential to influence the nearby genes. We analyzed the regulatory map of 91 HERV-Ks on neighboring genes in human breast cancer and investigated the impact of HERV-Ks on the tumor microenvironment (TME) and prognosis of breast cancer.

Integrated Micro Space Electrostatic Field in Aqueous Zn-Ion Battery: Scalable Electrospray Fabrication of Porous Crystalline Anode Coating.

The inhomogeneous consumption of anions and direct contact between electrolyte and anode during the Zn-deposition process generate Zn-dendrites and side reactions that can aggravate the space-charge effect to hinder the practical implementation of zinc-metal batteries (ZMBs). Herein, electrospray has been applied for the scalable fabrication (>10 000 cm in a batch-experiment) of hetero-metallic cluster covalent-organic-frameworks (MCOF-Ti Cu ) nanosheet-coating (MNC) with integrated micro space electrostatic field for ZMBs anode protection. The MNC@Zn symmetric cell presents ultralow overpotential (≈72.

In Situ Interweaved High Sulfur Loading Li-S Cathode by Catalytically Active Metalloporphyrin Based Organic Polymer Binders.

The elaborate design of powerful Li-S binders with extended-functions like polysulfides adsorption/catalysis and Li hopping/transferring in addition to robust adhesion-property has remained a challenge. Here, an in situ cathode-interweaving strategy based on metalloporphyrin based covalent-bonding organic polymer (M-COP, M = Mn, Ni, and Zn) binders is reported for the first time. Thus-produced functional binders possess excellent mechanical-strengths, polysulfides adsorption/catalysis, and Li hopping/transferring ability.

Anisotropically Hybridized Porous Crystalline Li-S Battery Separators.

Anisotropically hybridized porous crystalline Li-S battery separators based on porous crystalline materials that can meet the multiple functionalities of both anodic and cathodic sides are much desired for Li-S battery yet still challenging in directional design. Here, an anisotropically hybridized separator (CPM) based on an ionic liquid-modified porphyrin-based covalent-organic framework (COF-366-OH-IL) and catalytically active metal-organic framework (Ni (HITP) ) that can integrate the lithium-polysulfides (LiPSs) adsorption/catalytic conversion and ion-conduction sites together to directionally meet the requirements of electrodes is reported. Remarkably, the-obtained separator exhibits an exceptional high Li transference-number (t  = 0.

Synergistic Manipulation of Hydrogen Evolution and Zinc Ion Flux in Metal-Covalent Organic Frameworks for Dendrite-free Zn-based Aqueous Batteries.

Zn-based aqueous batteries have attracted much attention because of their high theoretical-capacity, safety, and low-cost, yet the H -evolution, qualification or inhibition mechanism investigations that are closely related to the dendrite-growth are rare and challenging. Herein, a series of zincophilic metal-covalent organic frameworks (e.g.

Bovine serum albumin encapsulation of near infrared fluorescent nano-probe with low nonspecificity and cytotoxicity for imaging of HER2-positive breast cancer cells.

Breast cancer with HER2 overexpressing type links to malignant tumor growth and poor clinical outcome. Successful development of sensitive and selective nano-probe for identification of HER2-positive breast cancer cells is of great importance for breast cancer early diagnosis, subtype classification, and treatment planning. Herein, we report a HER2 antibody conjugated near infrared (NIR) emitted MnCuInS/ZnS qumtun dots (QDs) encapsulated bovine serum albumin (BSA) nano-probe for accurately targeted imaging of HER2-positive breast cancer cells.

High resolution jet-cooled infrared absorption spectra of (HCOOH), (HCOOD), and HCOOH-HCOOD complexes in 7.2 μm region.

The rotationally resolved infrared spectra of (HCOOH), (HCOOD), and HCOOH-HCOOD complexes have been measured in 7.2 μm region by using a segmented rapid-scan distributed-feedback quantum cascade laser absorption spectrometer to probe a slit supersonic jet expansion. The observed spectra are assigned to the v (H-C/O-H in-plane bending) fundamental band of (HCOOH), the v (H-C/O-D in-plane bending) fundamental band of HCOOH-HCOOD, and the v (H-C-O in-plane bending) fundamental band of (HCOOD).
