Article Abstract

The storage and reduction of NOx on a series of Fe-modified hydrotalcite-based lean NOx trap catalysts were assessed, together with the product selectivity. The crystal structures and micromorphologies of these materials were characterized using X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy, while in situ diffuse reflectance Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy was used to evaluate the evolution of transition state species. The introduction of Fe was found to improve the synergistic interaction between the Mg and Fe in the hydrotalcite structure, allowing these catalysts to work efficiently at low temperatures. In addition, both Pt/BaO/MgAlO and Pt/BaO/MgFeO catalysts exhibited better NOx adsorption and reduction performance compared with Pt/BaO/AlO. The superior performance of the former two materials was attributed to the enhanced adsorption of NOx in the form of nitrates and nitrites by Fe and Mg and to the ready decomposition of these nitrates at low temperatures. A Pt/BaO/MgFeO catalyst showed excellent low temperature activity and high selectivity for N together with superior sulfur resistance compared with Pt/BaO/AlO.

Formaldehyde (HCHO) is a harmful volatile organic pollutant, which is commonly found in interior decoration and furniture products. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a gas sensor that can quickly and accurately detect formaldehyde for human health and environmental protection. In order to achieve this goal, in this work, SnS/SnO heterostructure was synthesized by in-situ sulfurization process on the basis of SnO nanospheres, and its formaldehyde sensing performance was studied.

One of the underlying mechanisms of epilepsy (EP), a brain disease characterized by recurrent seizures, is considered to be cell death. Disulfidptosis, a proposed novel cell death mechanism, is thought to play a part in the pathogenesis of epilepsy, but the exact role is unclear. The gene expression omnibus series (GSE) 33,000 and GSE63808 datasets were used to search for differentially expressed disulfidptosis-related molecules (DE-DRMs).

[FeFe]-hydrogenases catalyze the reversible two-electron reduction of two protons to molecular hydrogen. Although these enzymes are among the most efficient H-converting biocatalysts in nature, their catalytic cofactor (termed H-cluster) is irreversibly destroyed upon contact with dioxygen. The [FeFe]-hydrogenase CbA5H from has a unique mechanism to protect the H-cluster from oxygen-induced degradation.

Article Synopsis
  • Human activities and ocean currents in the Taiwan Strait show seasonal variations, but how marine microbes respond to these changes under human and climate stress is not fully understood.
  • Using 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing, the study analyzed sediment samples and found distinct seasonal patterns in microbial diversity, with Proteobacteria and Desulfobacterota as dominant groups.
  • Key factors like iron concentrations, heavy metals, and temperature fluctuations significantly influenced microbial community structures, while certain core microbial groups and marker species could serve as indicators for monitoring the health of the Taiwan Strait ecosystem.

Article Synopsis
  • Innovative strategies are needed to combat fungal pathogens for sustainable crop protection, with traditional fungicides facing resistance issues due to their single-target action.
  • The study investigated the synergistic effects of chitosan (CS) and the fungicide azoxystrobin, finding a high synergy score that significantly improves antifungal efficacy.
  • Additionally, combining CS and azoxystrobin with RNA interference techniques enhanced fungal control, highlighting a promising eco-friendly approach and the need for further research on its molecular mechanisms.
