The Fe‐N‐C Nanozyme with Both Accelerated and Inhibited Biocatalytic Activities Capable of Accessing Drug–Drug Interactions

Emerging as a cost‐effective and robust enzyme mimic, nanozymes have drawn increasing attention with broad applications ranging from cancer therapy to biosensing. Developing nanozymes with both accelerated and inhibited biocatalytic properties in a biological context is intriguing to peruse more advanced functions of natural enzymes, but remains challenging, because most nanozymes are lack of enzyme‐like molecular structures. By re‐visiting and engineering the well‐known Fe‐N‐C electrocatalyst that has a heme‐like Fe‐N_x active sites, herein, it is reported that Fe‐N‐C could not only catalyze drug metabolization but also had inhibition behaviors similar to cytochrome P450 (CYP), endowing it a potential replacement of CYP for preliminary evaluation of massive potential chemicals, drug dosing guide, and outcome prediction. In addition, in contrast to electrocatalysts, the highly graphitic framework of Fe‐N‐C may not be obligatory for a competitive CYP‐like activity.     

Sandwich‐like Catalyst–Carbon–Catalyst Trilayer Structure as a Compact 2D Host for Highly Stable Lithium–Sulfur Batteries

Herein, we propose the construction of a sandwich‐structured host filled with continuous 2D catalysis–conduction interfaces. This MoN‐C‐MoN trilayer architecture causes the strong conformal adsorption of S/Li₂S_x and its high‐efficiency conversion on the two‐sided nitride polar surfaces, which are supplied with high‐flux electron transfer from the buried carbon interlayer. The 3D self‐assembly of these 2D sandwich structures further reinforces the interconnection of conductive and catalytic networks. The maximized exposure of adsorptive/catalytic planes endows the MoN‐C@S electrode with excellent cycling stability and high rate performance even under high S loading and low host surface area. The high conductivity of this trilayer texture does not compromise the capacity retention after the S content is increased. Such a job‐synergistic mode between catalytic and conductive functions guarantees the homogeneous deposition of S/Li₂S_x, and avoids thick and devitalized accumulation (electrode passivation) even after high‐rate and long‐term cycling.     

Synergistic Dual‐Additive Electrolyte Enables Practical Lithium‐Metal Batteries

A rechargeable Li metal anode coupled with a high‐voltage cathode is a promising approach to high‐energy‐density batteries exceeding 300 Wh kg^?1. Reported here is an advanced dual‐additive electrolyte containing a unique solvation structure and it comprises a tris(pentafluorophenyl)borane additive and LiNO₃ in a carbonate‐based electrolyte. This system generates a robust outer Li₂O solid electrolyte interface and F‐ and B‐containing conformal cathode electrolyte interphase. The resulting stable ion transport kinetics enables excellent cycling of Li/LiNi_0.8Mn_0.1Co_0.1O₂ for 140 cycles with 80 % capacity retention under highly challenging conditions (≈295.1 Wh kg^?1 at cell‐level). The electrolyte also exhibits high cycling stability for a 4.6 V LiCoO₂ (160 cycles with 89.8 % capacity retention) cathode and 4.95 V LiNi_0.5Mn_1.5O₄ cathode.     

A Highly Selective and Sensitive Chemiluminescent Probe for Real‐Time Monitoring of Hydrogen Peroxide in Cells and Animals

Selective and sensitive molecular probes for hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂), which plays diverse roles in oxidative stress and redox signaling, are urgently needed to investigate the physiological and pathological effects of H₂O₂. A lack of reliable tools for in vivo imaging has hampered the development of H₂O₂ mediated therapeutics. By combining a specific tandem Payne/Dakin reaction with a chemiluminescent scaffold, H₂O₂‐CL‐510 was developed as a highly selective and sensitive probe for detection of H₂O₂ both in vitro and in vivo. A rapid 430‐fold enhancement of chemiluminescence was triggered directly by H₂O₂ without any laser excitation. Arsenic trioxide induced oxidative damage in leukemia was successfully detected. In particular, cerebral ischemia‐reperfusion injury‐induced H₂O₂ fluxes were visualized in rat brains using H₂O₂‐CL‐510 , providing a new chemical tool for real‐time monitoring of H₂O₂ dynamics in living animals.     

Coordination of Actinide Single Ions to Deformed Graphdiyne: Strategy on Essential Separation Processes in Nuclear Fuel Cycle

The coordination of actinides and lanthanides, as well as strontium and cesium with graphdiyne (GDY) was studied experimentally and theoretically. On the basis of experimental results and/or theoretical calculations, it was suggested that Th⁴⁺, Pu⁴⁺, Am³⁺, Cm³⁺, and Cs⁺ exist in single‐ion states on the special triangular structure of GDY with various coordination patterns, wherein GDY itself is deformed in different ways. Both experiment and theoretical calculations strongly indicate that UO₂²⁺, La³⁺, Eu³⁺, Tm³⁺ and Sr²⁺ are not adsorbed by GDY at all. The distinguished adsorption behaviors of GDY afford an important strategy for highly selective separation of actinides and lanthanides, Th⁴⁺ and UO₂²⁺, and Cs⁺ and Sr²⁺, in the nuclear fuel cycle. Also, the present work sheds light on an approach to explore the unique functions and physicochemical properties of actinides in single‐ion states.     

General Approach to Single and Hybrid Metal Oxide Fiber Structures for High‐Performance Lithium‐Ion Batteries

Owing to the high specific capacity and energy density, metal oxides have become very promising electrodes for lithium‐ion batteries (LIBs). However, poor electrical conductivity accompanied with inferior cycling stability resulting from large volume changes are the main obstacles to achieve a high reversible capacity and stable cyclability. Herein, a facile and general approach to fabricate SnO₂, Fe₂O₃ and Fe₂O₃/SnO₂ fibers is proposed. The appealing structural features are favorable for offering a shortened lithium‐ion diffusion length, easy access for the electrolyte and reduced volume variation when used as anodes in LIBs. As a consequence, both single and hybrid oxides show satisfactory reversible capacities (1206 mAh g^?1 for Fe₂O₃ and 1481 mAh g^?1 for Fe₂O₃/SnO₂ after 200 cycles at 200 mA g^?1) and long lifespans.

采用简单的可升级的化学浸渍法,将Fe_2O_3掺杂到富勒烯[60](C_(60))上,制得C_(60)-Fe_2O_3纳米复合材料.采用了粉末X射线衍射、X射线光电子能谱(XPS)、扫描电镜、高分辨透射电镜、紫外-可见吸收光谱、拉曼光谱和傅里叶变换红外光谱,对其进行了表征.结果发现,XPS数据中,Fe2p_(3/2)和Fe2p_(1/2)的XPS特征峰分别位于结合能710.9和724.1 eV处,对应Fe_2O_3的Fe~(3+).富勒烯颗粒均匀分散在Fe_2O_3纳米颗粒表面,Fe_2O_3纳米颗粒的平均尺寸大约为20–30 nm;Fe_2O_3对于可见光只有微弱的吸收,而制备出的C_(60)-Fe_2O_3纳米复合材料对于可见光有较强的吸收响应.本文将C_(60)-Fe_2O_3纳米复合光催化材料用于光催化降解50 mL,20mg/l MB和50 mL,10 mg/L苯酚实验.结果发现,在双氧水存在下和可见光(420 nm)辐射条件下,C_(60)-Fe_2O_3对上述有机污染物均有较好的降解效果.通过测定上述有机物的削减程度,评估了C_(60)-Fe_2O_3催化剂的光催化活性,通过改变实验条件,得到可见光/C_(60)-Fe_2O_3/双氧水体系的最佳光催化降解条件:在pH值为3.06~10.34的范围内,投加0.02 g催化剂,5 mol/L双氧水.结果表明,在最佳条件下,亚甲基蓝在80min内脱色率能达到98.9%,矿化率能达到71%.浸出实验的结果表明,C_(60)-Fe_2O_3复合光催化剂中的铁浸出量可以忽略不计.经过5次循环使用后,C_(60)-Fe_2O_3复合光催化剂仍具有较高的光催化活性.为了进一步验证C_(60)-Fe_2O_3复合光催化剂的应用广泛性,本文在可见光/C_(60)-Fe_2O_3/双氧水体系下,开展了降解RhB,MO和苯酚的试验,结果发现,该催化剂它们也具有高的降解效果.机理研究发现,C_(60)-Fe_2O_3复合光催化剂的高效催化能力可归因于C_(60)和Fe_2O_3的协同效应:在可见光辐射下,由于C_(60)具有独特的光敏性特征,能够接收电子并把它们转移到Fe_2O_3的Fe3d轨道,并通过一系列反应,达到Fe~(3+)/Fe~(2+)循环平衡.利用活性组分捕集实验,对光催化反应过程中的主要活性氧化剂进行了区分.结果表明,羟基自由基在整个过程中发挥了最主要的作用.     

膜受体介导双酚A低剂量内分泌干扰效应的分子机制

双酚A(Bisphenol A, BPA)为苯酚系衍生物,作为生产聚碳酸酯塑料和环氧树脂的中间体被广泛应用于多种产品制造中,为全球产量最大的工业品之一。BPA的大量应用使普通人群暴露BPA的几率显著增加。BPA结构与雌激素相似,为一典型雌激素样内分泌干扰物,可以对机体产生多种毒性效应。高剂量BPA主要通过拮抗雌激素受体而发挥其内分泌干扰效应;环境相关低剂量BPA由于不能与雌激素竞争结合雌激素受体,主要通过膜受体介导的信号通路以非基因组方式诱导细胞生物学功能改变。但是,具体何种膜受体介导BPA的低剂量效应以及相关分子机制目前还不清楚。基于此,我们课题组近年来在这些方面做了一系列工作。我们发现,膜G蛋白偶联受体30和整合素αvβ3及其介导的信号传导通路分别介导了环境相关低剂量BPA对雄性生殖细胞的增殖诱导和甲状腺素基因转录的干扰。对环境相关低剂量BPA作用机制的深入理解不仅有助于更客观真实评价和预测环境暴露BPA对人体健康的可能潜在影响以及采取有针对性的预防和干预措施。同时,也将为评价其他类似结构雌激素样环境内分泌干扰物的健康效应提供理论基础及技术支持。本文将结合我们近年来的研究工作,综述目前环境低剂量BPA暴露对人体健康影响的分子机制研究进展、存在的问题以及将来研究的一些思考。

为扩展氟喹诺酮由抗菌活性向抗肿瘤活性转化的结构修饰策略,利用药效团生物电子等排及其拼合和骨架迁越药物化学分子构建方法,以酰胺基作为氟喹诺酮C-3位羧基的生物电子等排体,氟喹诺酮骨架为酰胺基的功能修饰基,设计合成了氟喹诺酮-3-N-酰胺类目标化合物。其结构经元素分析和光谱数据确证。体外抗肿瘤实验结果表明,目标化合物对Hep-3B细胞和Capan-1细胞的抗增殖活性均显著强于母体环丙沙星的活性,尤其对Hep-3B细胞的抑制活性最强。因此,用酰胺基来替代C-3羧基有利于提高氟喹诺酮的抗肿瘤活性。     

Recent Advances in Facile Liquid Phase Epoxidation of Light Olefins over Heterogeneous Molybdenum Catalysts

Molybdenum complexes are versatile and efficient for liquid phase olefin epoxidation reactions. Rational design of catalysts is critical to achieve high atom efficiency during epoxidation processes. Although liquid phase epoxidation has been a popular topic for decades, three key issues, (a) rational control of morphology of molybdenum nanoparticles, (b) manipulating metal‐support interaction and (c) altering electronic configuration at molybdenum center remains unsolved in this area. Therefore, in this paper, we have critically revised recent research progress on heterogeneous molybdenum catalysts for facile liquid phase olefin epoxidation in terms of catalyst synthesis, surface characterization, catalytic performance and structure‐function relationship. Furthermore, plausible reaction mechanisms will be systematically discussed with the aim to provide insights into fundamental understanding on novel epoxidation chemistry.
