Failure Mechanism Analysis and Emerging Strategies for Enhancing the Photoelectrochemical Stability of Photoanodes.

The development of efficient and stable photoanode materials is essential for driving the possible practical application of photoelectrochemical water splitting. This article begins with a basic understanding of the fundamentals of photoelectrochemical devices and photoanodes. State-of-the-art strategies for designing photoanodes with long-term stability are highlighted, including insertion of hole transport layers, construction of protective/passivation layers, loading of co-catalysts, construction of heterojunctions, and modification of the electrolyte.

Antifungal Peptide P852 Effectively Controls a Wilt-Causing Fungus, by Affecting the Glucose Metabolism and Amino Acid Metabolism as well as Damaging Mitochondrial Function.

causes wilt disease, which causes huge economic losses to a wide range of agricultural cash crops. Antifungal peptide P852 is an effective biocide. However, the mechanism of direct inhibition of pathogenic fungus needs to be explored.
