Universal Teichmüller space and BMO

We first give some new characterizations on BMOA–Teichmüller space and various characterizations on VMOA–Teichmüller space as well. In particular, we prove that a quasisymmetric conformal welding h$h$ corresponds to an asymptotically smooth curve in the sense of Pommerenke (1978) [32] precisely when h$h$ is absolutely continuous with logh^′∈VMO$log{h}^{\prime }\in \text{VMO}$. We then show that these BMO–Teichmüller spaces have natural complex structures.     

Engineering Multifunctional DNA Hybrid Nanospheres through Coordination‐Driven Self‐Assembly

Developing simple and general approaches for the synthesis of nanometer‐sized DNA materials with specific morphologies and functionalities is important for various applications. Herein, a novel approach for the synthesis of a new set of DNA‐based nanoarchitectures through coordination‐driven self‐assembly of Fe^II ions and DNA molecules is reported. By fine‐tuning the assembly, Fe–DNA nanospheres of precise sizes and controlled compositions can be produced. The hybrid nanoparticles can be tailored for delivery of functional DNA to cells in vitro and in vivo with enhanced biological function. This highlights the potential of metal ion coordination as a tool for directing the assembly of DNA architectures, which conceptualizes a new pathway to expand the repertoire of DNA‐based nanomaterials. This methodology will advance both the fields of DNA nanobiotechnology and metal–ligand coordination chemistry.     

Electron–Proton Co‐doping‐Induced Metal–Insulator Transition in VO2 Film via Surface Self‐Assembled l‐Ascorbic Acid Molecules

Charge doping is an effective way to induce the metal–insulator transition (MIT) in correlated materials for many important utilizations, which is however practically limited by problem of low stability. An electron–proton co‐doping mechanism is used to achieve pronounced phase modulation of monoclinic vanadium dioxide (VO₂) at room temperature. Using l ‐ascorbic acid (AA) solution to treat VO₂, the ionized AA^? species donate electrons to the adsorbed VO₂ surface. Charges then electrostatically attract surrounding protons to penetrate, and eventually results in stable hydrogen‐doped metallic VO₂. The variations of electronic structures, especially the electron occupancy of V 3d/O 2p hybrid orbitals, were examined by synchrotron characterizations and first‐principle theoretical simulations. The adsorbed molecules protect hydrogen dopants from escaping out of lattice and thereby stabilize the metallic phase for VO₂.     

Fluorographdiyne: A Metal‐Free Catalyst for Applications in Water Reduction and Oxidation

A highly efficient bifunctional metal‐free catalyst was prepared by growth of three‐dimensional porous fluorographdiyne networks on carbon cloth (p‐FGDY/CC). Our experiments and density functional theory (DFT) calculations show the 3D p‐FGDY/CC network is highly active and it is a high potential metal‐free catalyst for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER), as well as overall water splitting (OWS) under both acidic and alkaline conditions. The experimental and theoretical results show very good consistency; for example, in the HER process, p‐FGDY/CC exhibits small overpotentials of 82 and 92 mV to achieve 10 mA cm^?2 under alkaline and acidic conditions, respectively. This ensures an even higher selectivity for the adsorption/desorption of various O/H intermediate species. The essential key promotion accomplishes a bifunctional H₂O redox performance application under pH‐universal electrochemical conditions.     

The influence of temperature on the phase behavior of ionic liquid aqueous two-phase systems

In this article, the equilibrium behavior of solutions of 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium dimethyl phosphate ([Emim]DMP) and ethyl acetate or acetone in aqueous two-phase system (ATPS) was discussed to understand the liquid–liquid equilibrium (LLE) behavior of these organic solvents. Thus, we determined phase diagrams and LLE data at 303.15, 308.15, 313.15, and 323.15 K for the investigated biphasic systems. Four empirical equations were used to study the tie lines. The results showed that for the [Emim]DMP?+?acetone?+?water biphasic systems within the investigated temperature range, temperature influences the phase behavior, but for the [Emim]DMP?+?ethyl acetate?+?water biphasic systems within the investigated temperature range, there are no notable changes on the phase behavior with rising temperature. The results may have important applications for the separation of antibiotics and for the recovery of ionic liquids (ILs).

Discovering ordered phases of block copolymers: new results from a generic Fourier-space approach

A generic Fourier-space approach to solve the self-consistent field theory of block copolymers is developed. This approach is based on the fact that, for any computational box with periodic boundary conditions, all spatially varying functions are spanned by the Fourier series determined by the size and shape of the box. The method reproduces all known diblock copolymer phases. The application of this method to a model "frustrated" triblock copolymer leads to a phase diagram with a number of new phases. Furthermore, the capability of the method to reproduce experimentally observed structures is demonstrated using the knitting pattern of triblock copolymers.     

Solidifying framework nucleic acids

正Living organisms have developed their unique strategies during the natural evolution for building hard tissues with minerals, including silica, calcium carbonate, calcium phosphate, and ferric oxide [1]. Such biomineralized materials generally have complex hierarchical structures with excellent mechanical properties. Although bioinspired approaches have led to the creation of well-defined synthetic structural materials ranging from micro to macro scales, the rational design of discrete biomimetic structures at the nanoscale remains a grand challenge.
