Fluidized Electrochemical Exfoliation of Layered Transition Metal Dichalcogenides toward Fast Production of High-Quality Nanosheets in the Aqueous Phase.

Nano Lett

January 2025

State Key Laboratory of Chemo/Biosensing and Chemometrics, College of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, Hunan University, Changsha 410082, China.

The transformation of bulk transition-metal dichalcogenide (TMD) particles into ultrathin nanosheets with both an acceptable yield and preserved crystalline integrity presents a substantial challenge in electrochemical exfoliation. This challenge arises from the continuous potential stress that the materials experience in traditional exfoliation setups. Herein, we propose a new fluidized electrochemical exfoliation (FEE) method to efficiently transform TMD powders into high-quality, few-layered TMD nanosheets in the aqueous phase.

The development of accurate yet fast quantum mechanical methods to calculate the anharmonic vibrational spectra of large molecules is one of the major goals of ongoing developments in this field. This study extensively explores and validates a hybrid electronic basis set approach for anharmonic vibrational calculations, where the molecule is segregated into different computational layers, and such layers are then treated with different levels of electronic basis sets. Following the system-bath model, the atoms corresponding to the active sites are treated in more accurate but computationally slower, large basis set and the rest of the atoms in less accurate but computationally faster, small basis set to construct the anharmonic hybrid potential energy surface (PES).

Laser Synthesis of Platinum Single-Atom Catalysts for Hydrogen Evolution Reaction.

Nanomaterials (Basel)

January 2025

Department of Materials, School of Natural Science, The University of Manchester, Oxford Road, Manchester M13 9PL, UK.

Platinum (Pt)-based heterogeneous catalysts show excellent performance for the electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction (HER); however, the high cost and earth paucity of Pt means that efforts are being directed to reducing Pt usage, whilst maximizing catalytic efficiency. In this work, a two-step laser annealing process was employed to synthesize Pt single-atom catalysts (SACs) on a MOF-derived carbon substrate. The laser irradiation of a metal-organic framework (MOF) film (ZIF67@ZIF8 composite) by rapid scanning of a ns pulsed infrared (IR; 1064 nm) laser across the freeze-dried MOF resulted in a metal-loaded graphitized film.

Early increases in bone turnover markers (BTMs) in response to anabolic therapy correlate with 18-month bone mineral density (BMD) increases in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis; however, this relationship has not been assessed in men. In this analysis, the correlation between changes from baseline in fasting intact serum procollagen type I N propeptide (PINP) and serum carboxy-terminal cross-linking telopeptide of type I collagen (CTX) at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months and percent increase from baseline in BMD at 12 months in men from the randomized phase 3 ATOM study (NCT03512262) were evaluated using Pearson's correlation coefficients. The uncoupling index (UI), a measure of the balance between markers of bone formation (PINP) and bone resorption (CTX), with positive UI favoring bone formation, was calculated.

FlowBack: A Generalized Flow-Matching Approach for Biomolecular Backmapping.

J Chem Inf Model

January 2025

Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering, University of Chicago, Chicago, Illinois 60637, United States.

Coarse-grained models have become ubiquitous in biomolecular modeling tasks aimed at studying slow dynamical processes such as protein folding and DNA hybridization. These models can considerably accelerate sampling but it remains challenging to accurately and efficiently restore all-atom detail to the coarse-grained trajectory, which can be vital for detailed understanding of molecular mechanisms and calculation of observables contingent on all-atom coordinates. In this work, we introduce FlowBack as a deep generative model employing a flow-matching objective to map samples from a coarse-grained prior distribution to an all-atom data distribution.
