Partial nitrification-anammox process is promising in leachate treatment, but the 11% residue nitrate limits the total nitrogen removal efficiency. Denitrification or partial denitrification and anammox are both practical polishing processes of anammox effluent, requiring extra electron donors. Fortunately, there are organic matter, sulfide and methane in leachate or produced by leachate treatment, which can serve as onsite electron donors. In this review, the mechanisms and processes using these three kinds of electron donors for residue nitrate reduction in anammox effluent of leachate are systematically summarized and discussed. It can be concluded that, biodegradable organic matter is an effective electron donor, sulfide is a promising electron donor, methane is a potential electron donor. Two possible applications in future based on anammox treatment of fresh and mature leachate using sulfide and methane as onsite electron donors are proposed. Through sulfide reutilization, energy-saving with about 14% of aeration reduction can be achieved.

The space charge effect induced by high-quality heterojunctions is essential for efficient electrocatalytic processes. Herein, we delicately manipulate intermolecular charge transfer by modifying substituents (-g = -CH3, -H, -NO2) with various electron donating/withdrawing capabilities in CoPc-g/CoS organic-inorganic heterostructures. CoPc-CH3, as a typical electron donor, transfers more electrons to CoS due to the presence of -CH3, forming the strongest space electric field and thus regulating the dual active sites at the interface.

Multiple myeloma (MM) is the second most frequently diagnosed hematological malignancy, presenting limited treatment options with no curative potential and significant drug resistance. Recent studies involving genetic knockdown established the crucial role of GRK6 in upholding the viability of MM cells, emphasizing the need to identify potential inhibitors. Computational exploration of GRK6 inhibitors has not been attempted previously.

There is an urgent need to develop effective and sustainable methods to decrease sulfonamide (SA) contamination of soil. Herein, a non-homogeneous system of zero-valent metal-biochar-based composites was proposed and tested for persulfate (PS) activation. This system employed zero-valent iron (Fe) as an electron donor to catalyze the cleavage of the OO bond in PS, thereby generating reactive oxygen species (ROS) that degrade SAs.

Organic photovoltaics (OPVs) have improved greatly in recent years in pursuit for efficient and sustainable energy conversion methods. Specifically, utilizing quantum chemistry approaches such as density functional theory (DFT), the electronic structures, energy levels, and charge transport characteristics of donor-π-acceptor (D-π-A) systems based on non-fullerene donor and acceptor molecules have been examined and synthesized. Non-fullerene acceptors offer several advantages over traditional fullerene-based materials, such as enhanced light absorption, modifiable energy levels, and reduced recombination losses.

Background: Infertility is a special reproductive health defect. For women, congenital uterine malformations, extensive adhesions in the uterine cavity, and hysterectomy are associated with infertility. Uterine transplantation is technically feasible, but its clinical application and development are limited by donor shortages and immune rejection.
