Methods for enhancing the capacity of electrode materials in low-temperature lithium-ion batteries

Lithium-ion batteries(LIBs) have evolved into the mainstream power source of ene rgy sto rage equipment by reason of their advantages such as high energy density,high power,long cycle life and less pollution.With the expansion of their applications in deep-sea exploration,aerospace and military equipment,special working conditions have placed higher demands on the low-temperature performance of LIBs.However,at low temperatures,the severe polarization and inferior electrochemical activity of electrode materials cause the acute capacity fading upon cycling,which greatly hindered the further development of LIBs.In this review,we summarize the recent important progress of LIBs in low-temperature operations and introduce the key methods and the related action mechanisms for enhancing the capacity of the various cathode and anode materials.It aims to promote the development of high-performance electrode materials and broaden the application range of LIBs.     

Effect of exit and injection rates on phase-dependent transient evolution of gain without inversion

It is shown that in an open Λ-type system with spontaneously generated coherence, the transient evolution rule of the gain of lasing without inversion (LWI) is very sensitive to variation of the relative phase φ between the probe and driving fields; the variety of the atomic exit rateγ_0 and the ratio C of the atomic injection rates also have a considerable effect on the phase-dependent transient evolution rule of LWI gain. We find that whenφ=0, the transient and stationary LWI gain increases with C increasing but decreases with γ_0 increasing; whenφ≠0 , the effect of C andγ_0 on LWI gain is just opposite to that when φ=0 ; in order to get the largest transient and stationary LWI gain, we need selecting suitable values of φ,γ_0 and C.     

Identification of Pharmacophoric Fragments of DYRK1A Inhibitors Using Machine Learning Classification Models

Dual-specific tyrosine phosphorylation regulated kinase 1 (DYRK1A) has been regarded as a potential therapeutic target of neurodegenerative diseases, and considerable progress has been made in the discovery of DYRK1A inhibitors. Identification of pharmacophoric fragments provides valuable information for structure- and fragment-based design of potent and selective DYRK1A inhibitors. In this study, seven machine learning methods along with five molecular fingerprints were employed to develop qualitative classification models of DYRK1A inhibitors, which were evaluated by cross-validation, test set, and external validation set with four performance indicators of predictive classification accuracy (CA), the area under receiver operating characteristic (AUC), Matthews correlation coefficient (MCC), and balanced accuracy (BA). The PubChem fingerprint-support vector machine model (CA = 0.909, AUC = 0.933, MCC = 0.717, BA = 0.855) and PubChem fingerprint along with the artificial neural model (CA = 0.862, AUC = 0.911, MCC = 0.705, BA = 0.870) were considered as the optimal modes for training set and test set, respectively. A hybrid data balancing method SMOTETL, a combination of synthetic minority over-sampling technique (SMOTE) and Tomek link (TL) algorithms, was applied to explore the impact of balanced learning on the performance of models. Based on the frequency analysis and information gain, pharmacophoric fragments related to DYRK1A inhibition were also identified. All the results will provide theoretical supports and clues for the screening and design of novel DYRK1A inhibitors.

黄连与甘草化学成分的相互作用研究之一——混浊汤剂中沉淀部分的成分研究

以黄连与甘草为配伍组成的复方是一种沉淀性配伍, 它属于仲景古方系列之一。其汤剂呈混浊状, 分别对离心分离后的溶液与沉淀物的成分进行研究。运用高效液相色谱(HPLC)、傅里叶变换红外光谱(FTIR)和飞行时间质谱(TOF-MS)的方法, 对单煎黄连、单煎甘草和混煎黄连与甘草的溶液和沉淀物的结构组成进行研究。文章着重报道沉淀物成分的研究, 同时还将混煎沉淀物和溶液的谱学行为做了比较。结果发现, 在混煎黄连与甘草的沉淀物中, 黄连的有些化学成分被保留下来, 有些成分却被抑制了;而甘草的化学成分基本都消失了;同时在混煎黄连与甘草的沉淀物中还产生了在单煎黄连与单煎甘草中所没有的一些新物质。此结果说明黄连与甘草在混煎后其沉淀物的结构组成发生了变化, 这是由于在此复方中发生了甘草与黄连化学成分的相互作用所致。根据飞行时间质谱的数据, 推测黄连与甘草发生的化学反应可能有加成反应、分解反应和缔合反应等类型。它表明甘草在此复方中起到了极为重要的作用。通过混煎沉淀物与溶液的研究结果比较还表明, 在沉淀物中可能含有比溶液中更多的化学活性成分,它为古方的药用和疗效提供了一定科学依据。     

Encapsulation of nanocrystals with responsive gels for spatial optical identification

A tripeptide (β-AspFF) gelator was designed and synthesised using solid-phase peptide synthesis. The as-prepared gelator formed a stable and clear multi-responsive gel in toluene solution. Encapsulating the quantum dots with β-AspFF effectively increased stability and antioxidisation ability which are beneficial for optical identification.
