Metallic 1T-phase MoS is considered to be the ideal electrocatalyst to carry out hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) because of favorable conductivity and sufficient active site compared with 2H-phase MoS. Nevertheless, 1T-phase MoS is conventionally synthesized in a complicated process, with the production of an unstable product, which hinders their practical applications. Herein, we propose a facile approach through a carbon-doping-induced phase transition to obtain highly stable 1T-2H mixed MoS nanosheets. The phase transition process is characterized by Raman and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, as well as high-resolution transmission electron microscopy images and delivers a high phase purity of ∼60% for 1T-MoS. According to density functional theory simulations and experimental results, C-doped 1T-2H mixed MoS has the advantages of abundant active sites, facilitated charge transfer rate, and high activity toward HER. The obtained C-doped MoS exhibits a superb HER electrocatalytic performance, with a current density of 10 mA cm and the overpotential as low as 40 mV in 1 M KOH solution, and brilliant stability.

Two-dimensional molybdenum ditelluride (2D MoTe) is an interesting material for artificial synapses due to its unique electronic properties and phase tunability in different polymorphs 2H/1T'. However, the growth of stable and large-scale 2D MoTe on a CMOS-compatible Si/SiO substrate remains challenging because of the high growth temperature and impurity-involved transfer process. We developed a large-scale MoTe film on a Si/SiO wafer by simple sputtering followed by lithium-ion intercalation and applied it to artificial synaptic devices.

We report numerical studies of the magnetic phase transition and magnetocaloric effect in hexagonal MnCoGe alloys, controlled by axial strain applied along the -axis direction around room temperature. These studies are based on a combination of first-principles calculations and Monte Carlo simulations. Under compressive strains, the ferromagnetic state is stable, whereas under tensile strains, the ground state transforms into an antiferromagnetic state.

All-solid-state lithium metal batteries hold promise for meeting the industrial demands for high energy density and safety. However, voids are formed at the lithium metal anode/solid-state electrolyte interface during stripping, deteriorating interface contact and reducing the cycle stability. Stack pressure and operating temperature are effective methods to activate creep deformation in lithium metal, promoting interfacial deformation and alleviating void-induced interface issues.

Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) is becoming a valuable technique in gas-phase structural biology for identifying local structural motifs and conformations of biological molecules, such as peptides and proteins. This method involves labeling the biomolecule with two dyes, a donor dye and an acceptor dye, that are commonly charged rhodamines. Here we examine how different amino acid (AA) methyl esters linked to the dye via amide linkages can influence the dye transition energy and, consequently, the energy-transfer efficiency, using cryogenic ion fluorescence spectroscopy.

Despite significant advances in targeted therapies and immunotherapies, non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) continues to present a global health challenge, with a modest five-year survival rate of 28 %, largely due to the emergence of treatment-resistant and metastatic tumors. In response, we synthesized a novel bioactive compound, ethyl 6-chlorocoumarin-3-carboxylyl L-theanine (TClC), which significantly inhibited NSCLC growth, epithelial mesenchymal transition (EMT), migration, and invasion and tumor growth and metastasis without inducing toxicity. TClC disrupts autocrine loops that promote tumor progression, particularly in stem-like CD133-positive NSCLC (CD133+ LC) cells, which are pivotal in tumor metastasis.
