Catalytic fast pyrolysis (CFP) for biomass treatment is a research hotspot but there is little information about the difference between the in situ and ex situ methods. In present work, the Ni-Fe/CaO-AlO catalysts with different Ni/Fe ratios have been synthesized by coprecipitation method, and the product distribution about the Chinese herb residue (CHR) catalytic fast pyrolysis by in situ and ex situ methods in a quartz tube reactor system has been investigated. The results show that the CFP pyrolysis would upgrade the quality of bio-oil but decrease the yields, no matter in situ or ex situ CFP process. During the in situ CFP process, heteroatoms may be absorbed by the catalyst support and cannot be transferred to the bio-oil, but the results of ex situ CFP are the opposite. In addition, the ex situ CFP reaction significantly increases the content of aromatic hydrocarbons. As to the gas products' distribution, the effect of Fe in catalysts to promote CH formation is reflected in in situ CFP process, while the promotion effect of H generation for Ni added in catalyst is mainly reflected in ex situ CFP process. However, due to the high reaction temperature (800 °C), the adsorption of CO by CaO support is not particularly significant. The possible mechanism of CHR in CFP process has also been summarized for understanding the process of in situ and ex situ CFP, and this study may provide a choice or reference for CHR treatment.

Article Synopsis
  • Researchers focused on metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) for water splitting, addressing challenges in identifying active sites and stability during the transition to metal oxyhydroxide.
  • By engineering defects in two-dimensional Fe-MOFs, they increased unsaturated Fe sites, enhancing electrocatalytic activity for oxygen and hydrogen evolution reactions (OER and HER).
  • The optimized Fe-MOF exhibited outstanding performance, achieving 259 mV for OER and 36 mV for HER, providing insights into the impact of phase transformation on MOF materials' electrocatalytic properties.

Grading of oral epithelial dysplasia (OED) can be challenging with considerable intraobserver and interobserver variability. Abnormal immunohistochemical staining patterns of the tumor suppressor protein, p53, have been recently shown to be potentially associated with progression in OED. We retrospectively identified 214 oral biopsies from 203 patients recruited in a longitudinal study between 2001 and 2008 with a diagnosis of reactive, nondysplastic lesions, low-grade lesions (mild OED and moderate OED) and high-grade lesions (HGLs; severe OED/carcinoma in situ).

We established a longitudinal acute slice preparation of transgenic mouse optic nerve to characterize membrane properties and coupling of glial cells by patch-clamp and dye-filling, complemented by immunohistochemistry. Unlike in cortex or hippocampus, the majority of EGFP + cells in optic nerve of the hGFAP-EGFP transgenic mouse, a tool to identify astrocytes, were characterized by time and voltage dependent K-currents including A-type K-currents, properties previously described for NG2 glia. Indeed, the majority of transgene expressing cells in optic nerve were immunopositive for NG2 proteoglycan, whereas only a minority show GFAP immunoreactivity.

Red-Emitting CsPbI/ZnSe Colloidal Nanoheterostructures with Enhanced Optical Properties and Stability.

Producing heterostructures of cesium lead halide perovskites and metal-chalcogenides in the form of colloidal nanocrystals can improve their optical features and stability, and also govern the recombination of charge carriers. Herein, the synthesis of red-emitting CsPbI/ZnSe nanoheterostructures is reported via an in situ hot injection method, which provides the crystallization conditions for both components, subsequently leading to heteroepitaxial growth. Steady-state absorption and photoluminescence studies alongside X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy analysis evidence on a type-I band alignment for CsPbI/ZnSe nanoheterostructures, which exhibit photoluminescence quantum yield of 96% due to the effective passivation of surface defects, and an enhancement in carrier lifetime.

Defect engineering and nitrogen doping being effective strategies for modulating the surface chemical state of the carbon matrix have been widely explored to promote the catalytic activity in the territory of electrochemical energy storage and conversion devices. However, the controllable synthesis of carbon material with high-density specific defects and high nitrogen doping is still full of challenges. Here, we first synthesize one-dimensional necklace-like nitrogen-doped carbon nanochains (N-CNCs) with abundant defects on carbon fiber paper (CFP) by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method.
