Aerogel is a kind of novel material used to create an amphiphilic surface because of its 3D network structure and functional pore feature. Amphiphilic aerogel can be used as an excellent candidate for the supporter of interface reaction. Hydrophilic domains are highly distributed on the hydrophobic surface, which is beneficial for the two phases to come in contact with each other. In the present work, an amphiphilic graphene-based aerogel (EDGA) is cross-linked by ethylenebis(nitrilodimethylene)tetraphosphonic acid. The EDGA shows high mass adsorption capacity of both oil and water recyclability. The EDGA is used as a supporter of interface reaction. First, we decorate the nanocatalyst on the hydrophilic domain of the EDGA beneficial for its amphiphilicity. Then, this nanocatalyst-loaded EDGA is used as the supporter of the interface polymerization. This kind of a catalyst shows high efficiency for C-H activation. The synthesis strategy can extend the application scope of the multifunctional graphene-based aerogel.

Marine biofouling and corrosion have become the main problems affecting the development of the marine industry. Silicone-based coatings have been widely used for antifouling and anticorrosion due to their low surface energy. However, the poor adhesion and low mechanical stability of these materials limit their application in complex marine environments.

The innate immune system is tightly regulated by a complex network of chemical signals triggered by pathogens, cellular damage, and environmental stimuli. While it is well-established that changes in the extracellular environment can significantly influence the immune response to pathogens and damage-associated molecules, there remains a limited understanding of how changes in environmental stimuli specifically impact the activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome, a key component of innate immunity. Here, we demonstrated how shear stress can act as Signal 2 in the NLRP3 inflammasome activation pathway by treating LPS-primed immortalized bone marrow-derived macrophages (iBMDMs) with several physiologically relevant magnitudes of shear stress to induce inflammasome activation.

Unlabelled: Despite the prevalence and severity of enterococcal bacteremia (EcB), the mechanisms underlying systemic host responses to the disease remain unclear. Here, we present an extensive study that profiles molecular differences in plasma from EcB patients using an unbiased multi-omics approach. We performed shotgun proteomics and metabolomics on 105 plasma samples, including those from EcB patients and healthy volunteers.

Hydrogen evolution reaction and Zn dendrite growth, originating from high water activity and the adverse competition between the electrochemical kinetics and mass transfer, are the main constraints for the commercial applications of the aqueous zinc-based batteries. Herein, a weak H-bond interface with a suspension electrolyte is developed by adding TiO nanoparticles into the electrolytes. Owing to the strong polarity of Ti-O bonds in TiO, abundant hydroxyl functional groups are formed between the TiO active surface and aqueous environment, which can produce a weak H-bond interface by disrupting the initial H-bond networks between the water molecules, thereby accelerating the mass transfer of Zn and reducing the water activity.

The SiO electrode interface is passivated with a SiO layer, which hinders the deposition of an inorganic solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) due to its high surface work function and low exchange current density of electrolyte decomposition. Consequently, a thermally vulnerable, organic-based SEI formed on the SiO electrode, leading to poor cycling performance at elevated temperatures. To address this issue, the SEI formation process is thermoelectrochemically activated.
