Rapid qualitative profiling and quantitative analysis of Juglandis Mandshuricae Cortex and seven flavonoids by ultra-high performance liquid chromatography–quadrupole/orbitrap high-resolution mass spectrometry

Juglandis Mandshuricae Cortex is the bark of Juglans mandshurica Maxim., which has been used as a folk medicine plant in China and India. In this study, an ultra-high performance liquid chromatography–quadrupole/orbitrap high-resolution mass spectrometry method was developed to clarify and quantify the chemical profiling of Juglandis Mandshuricae Cortex rapidly. A total of 113 compounds were characterized. Among them, seven flavonoids were simultaneously quantified in 15 min, including myricetin, myricetrin, taxifolin, kaempferol, quercetin, quercitrin, and naringenin. The method was validated for accuracy, precision, and the limits of detection and quantification. All calibration curves showed a good linear relationship (r > 0.9990) within test ranges. The intra- and inter-day relative standard deviations were less than 2.16%. Accuracy validation showed that the recovery was between 95.6 and 101.3% with relative standard deviation values below 2.85%. The validated method was successfully applied to determine the contents of seven flavones in Juglandis Mandshuricae Cortex from seven sources and the contents of these places were calculated respectively. This method provides a theoretical basis for further developing the medicinal value of Juglandis Mandshuricae Cortex.

Lone-Pair Enhanced Birefringence in an Alkaline-Earth Metal Tin(II) Phosphate BaSn2(PO4)2

The first alkaline-earth metal tin(II) phosphate, BaSn₂(PO₄)₂, has been discovered, which consists of layered structures constructed from strictly alternating [SnO₃]⁴⁻ and [PO₄]³⁻ moieties. This compound is expected to have a large birefringence with Δn≈0.071 at 1064 nm, owing to the presence of stereochemically active lone pair metal cations.     

细胞松弛素B阻断微核法鉴定男性个体辐射敏感性的方法初探

初步研究了男性个体辐射敏感性的鉴定方法及标准。采集50名男性志愿者的外周血，分别给予不同剂量X射线照射，采用细胞松弛素B阻断双核法测定微核率(MNF)，通过二阶多项拟合法，绘制微核剂量效应选项中心标准曲线，将个人微核剂量效应曲线与标准曲线比对后判断个体辐射敏感性。 $0.0\sim2.5 $ Gy剂量范围内，剂量效应二阶多项拟合的中心方程为(MNF=0.014 7+0.036 2D+0.023 1D 2， r=0.726)。50名志愿者中，辐射敏感的有13人，辐射抗性的有14人，基本符合正态分布。Spearman秩和相关分析结果显示，MNF在各个辐射剂量点与辐射敏感性均存在正相关,与辐射抗性呈负相关,MNF随剂量增加而增加。本研究初步建立了“以线代点”男性个体辐射敏感性鉴定方法,并发现男性外周血淋巴细胞的本底微核率与个体辐射敏感性呈正相关。

Vertically Grown Few-Layer MoS2 Nanosheets on Hierarchical Carbon Nanocages for Pseudocapacitive Lithium Storage with Ultrahigh-Rate Capability and Long-Term Recyclability

Molybdenum disulfide (MoS₂) is an intensively studied anode material for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) owing to its high theoretical capacity, but it is still confronted by severe challenges of unsatisfactory rate capability and cycle life. Herein, few-layer MoS₂ nanosheets, vertically grown on hierarchical carbon nanocages (hCNC) by a facile hydrothermal method, introduce pseudocapacitive lithium storage owing to the highly exposed MoS₂ basal planes, enhanced conductivity, and facilitated electrolyte access arising from good hybridization with hCNC. Thus, the optimized MoS₂/hCNC exhibits reversible capacities of 1670 mAh g⁻¹ at 0.1 A g⁻¹ after 50 cycles, 621 mAh g⁻¹ at 5.0 A g⁻¹ after 500 cycles, and 196 mAh g⁻¹ at 50 A g⁻¹ after 2500 cycles, which are among the best for MoS₂-based anode materials. The specific power and specific energy, which can reach 16.1 kW and 252.8 Wh after 3000 cycles, respectively, indicate great potential in high-power and long-life LIBs. These findings suggest a promising strategy for exploring advanced anode materials with high reversible capacity, high-rate capability, and long-term recyclability.     

Synthesis and property of diazocine derivatives substituted with imidazole in various positions

ABSTRACT

TIACA-I, TIACA-II were synthesized by changing the substitution position of the imidazole group in the diazocine core. TIACA-I, TIACA-II in the film state showed absorption in the range of 354 to 392 nm and exhibited blue photoluminescence (PL) emissions at 448 and 462 nm, respectively. The PL wavelength of TIACA-II is red-shifted by 14 nm than that of TIACA-I due to the electron-donating intensity depending on the position of the imidazole group. The use of TIACA-II in a non-doped OLED device resulted in blue emission with current efficiency of 2.84 cd/A and CIE of (0.15, 0.18).     

First-principles computational approach for innovative design of highly functional electrocatalysts in fuel cells

Design of highly active and stable electrocatalyst is a major objective in a fuel cell. The special situation imposed to the electrocatalyst such as one of the most sluggish catalysis of oxygen reduction reaction, inherent structural instability of dispersed nanoparticle, harsh electrochemical conditions of electric potential and nonzero pH aqueous solution requires unique attention in the design. Considering that various attempts have been made for the purpose, high-speed but rigorous formalisms to evaluate the performance of candidates are crucial.This review article briefly introduces recently developed first-principles computational methodologies mainly applied to catalytic activity and electrochemical stability of electrocatalysts in proton exchange membrane fuel cells. Innovative design principles deduced from the outcomes are clearly discussed.
