E-olefin dipeptide isostere incorporation into a polypeptide backbone enables hydrogen bond perturbation: probing the requirements for Alzheimer's amyloidogenesis

Herein, we report a stereospecific E-olefin dipeptide isostere synthesis that can be used to make gram quantities of the Phe-Phe isostere desired for eliminating a specific backbone H-bond donor and acceptor in the Alzheimer's disease related Abeta peptide. The Phe19-Phe20 E-olefin analogue of Abeta(1-40) was prepared by solid-phase peptide synthesis and was subjected to amyloidogenesis conditions. This analogue can aggregate into spherical morphologies but does not progress on to form protofibrils or fibrils as is the case for the all-amide sequence, providing insight into the structural requirements for amyloidogenesis.     

Advanced Current Collectors for Alkali Metal Anodes

High-energy-density batteries are in urgent need to solve the ever-increasing energy storage demand for portable electronic devices, electric vehicles, and renewable solar and wind energy systems. Alkali metals, typically lithium(Li), sodium(Na) and potassium(K), are considered as the promising anode materials owing to their low electrochemical potential, low density, and high theoretical gravimetric capacities. However, the problem of dendrite growth of alkali metals during their plating/stripping process will lead to low Coulombic efficiencies, a short lifespan and huge volume expansion, eventually hindering their practical commercialization. To resolve this issue, a very effective approach is engineering the anodes on structured current collectors. This review summarizes the development of the alkali metal batteries and discusses the recent advances in rational design of anode current collectors. First, the challenges and strategies of suppressing alkali-metal dendrite growth are presented. Then the special attention is paid to the novel current collector design for dendrite-free alkali metal anodes. Finally, we give conclusions and perspective on the current challenges and future research directions toward advanced anode current collectors for alkali metal batteries.     

Fast spin state initialization in a singly charged InAs-GaAs quantum dot by optical cooling

Quantum computation requires a continuous supply of rapidly initialized qubits for quantum error correction. Here, we demonstrate fast spin state initialization with near unity efficiency in a singly charged quantum dot by optically cooling an electron spin. The electron spin is successfully cooled from 5 to 0.06 K at a magnetic field of 0.88 T applied in Voigt geometry. The spin cooling rate is of order 10(9) s-1, which is set by the spontaneous decay rate of the excited state.     

Synthesis of polyaniline/Au composite nanotubes and their high performance in the detection of NADH

Polyaniline (PANI)/Au composite nanotubes were synthesized and developed as an electrode material for a nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) sensor. A MnO₂ self-degradable template method was used to prepare the tube-like PANI nanomaterial. By introducing PANI nanotubes into Au colloid, Au nanoparticles (NPs) were successfully decorated onto the surface of PANI nanotubes through electrostatic effects. The morphology, composition, and optical properties of the resulting products were characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) absorption spectra, and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). In addition, the obtained PANI/Au composites were used as catalysts for the electrochemical oxidation of NADH. Cyclic voltammogram (CV) experiments indicated that PANI/Au-modified glassy carbon electrode showed a higher electrocatalytic activity towards the oxidation of NADH in a neutral environment. Differential pulse voltammogram (DPV) results illustrated that the fabricated NADH sensor had excellent anti-interference ability and displayed a wide linear range from 4?×?10^?4 to 8?×?10^?3 M with a detection limit of 0.5?×?10^?7 M.     

Multilayer Porous Vanadium Nitride Microsheets Anodes for Highly Stable Na-ion Batteries

Sodiumion batteries(SIBs)have attracted intensive attention as promising alternative to lithium-ionbatteries(LIBs)for large scale energy storage systems because of low cost of sodium,similar energy storage mechanism and the reasonable performance.However,it is still a great challenge to search and design a robust structure of anode materials with excellent cycling stability and high rate capability for SIBs.Herein,multilayer porous vanadium nitride(VN)microsheets are synthesized through a facile and scalable hydrothermal synthesis-nitrogenization strategy as an effective anode material for SIBs.The multilayer porous VN microsheets not only offer more active sites for fast Na+insertion/extraction process and short diffusion pathway,but also effectively buffer the volume change of anode due to more space in the multilayer porous structure.The large proportions of capacitive behavior imply that the Na+charge storage depends on the intercalation pseudocapacitive mechanism.The multilayer porous VN microsheets electrodes manifest excellent cycling stability and rate capability,delivering a discharge capacity of 156.1 mA·h/g at 200 mA/g after 100 cycles,and a discharge capacity of 111.9 mA·h/g at 1.0 A/g even after 2300 cycles with the Coulombic efficiency of nearly 100%.     

分级结构氮掺杂碳纳米笼担载的铂基高效甲醇氧化电催化剂

高性能低成本的担载型铂基催化剂是直接甲醇燃料电池(DMFC)实用化过程中的一大挑战.利用高比表面积、高稳定性、容易负载金属的载体实现 Pt颗粒的高度分散,既可提高催化剂的催化性能,又可提高 Pt的利用率以降低成本,是担载型 Pt基催化剂实用化的有效途径.碳材料是一种常用的催化剂载体,近年来我们课题组发展了一种高性能的碳纳米笼材料,并可通过异原子掺杂调变其表面性能,提高其活性和负载能力.我们采用原位氧化镁模板法制备氮掺杂碳纳米笼：以具有多级结构的碱式碳酸镁作为氧化镁模板的前体,吡啶为碳源和氮源,经高温热解沉积,在原位形成的氧化镁模板表面形成氮掺杂的石墨化碳纳米薄层;经稀盐酸浸泡并洗涤,获得高纯度的氮掺杂碳纳米笼.氮掺杂碳纳米笼具有分等级的微纳米结构、高导电性、高比表面积和可调变的孔结构,结合表面氮原子的锚钉作用,氮掺杂碳纳米笼有望成为电化学催化剂 Pt的优良载体.
　　在前期研究基础上,本文探索多级结构氮掺杂碳纳米笼(hNCNC)作为新型载体负载 Pt的能力,并评价所构建的负载型催化剂 Pt/hNCNC的电催化性能.通过简便的微波辅助多元醇还原法,将氯铂酸还原成 Pt纳米粒子负载于 hNCNC的表面.为了揭示氮掺杂的效应,我们对比研究了具有相似分级结构但无掺杂的碳纳米笼(hCNC)以及商业化活性炭(Val-can XC-72)作为载体的情况.经热重(TG)和 X射线光电子能谱(XPS)分析,三种催化剂 Pt/hNCNC、Pt/hCNC和 Pt/XC-72的负载量均接近理论负载量(23.1 wt%),都主要以金属态存在.然而,扫描电子显微镜(SEM)和透射电子显微镜(TEM)结果表明, Pt/hNCNC的 Pt分散状态优于 Pt/hCNC,更远优于 Pt/XC-72. Pt/hNCNC的平均 Pt粒径最小,仅约3.3 nm.这种良好的分散状态主要得益于氮原子掺杂,高负电性的氮原子改变了局域的表面极性,有利于 Pt颗粒的成核,也有利于固定 Pt颗粒.
　　由于 hNCNC对 Pt的优异分散能力, Pt/hNCNC表现出高的电化学活性面积.氢吸附和一氧化碳溶出伏安曲线表明, Pt/hNCNC的电化学活性面积高于 Pt/hCNC和 Pt/XC-72,这与显微观察和 X射线衍射(XRD)结果相吻合. Pt/hNCNC展现出优异的甲醇电催化氧化活性和高稳定性,其催化电流明显高于 Pt/hCNC和 Pt/XC-72,电流衰减亦慢于 Pt/hCNC和 Pt/XC-72. hNCNC的分级微纳米结构有利于孔内传质和电子输运,从而提高反应速度. hNCNC的氮掺杂有利于 Pt在载体表面的分散,增强了载体-金属相互作用,提高了电化学活性面积和催化活性.为了进一步考察 hNCNC对 Pt的负载能力,本文还考察了高负载量 Pt/hNCNC的性能.在负载量高达60 wt%时, Pt/hNCNC中的 Pt颗粒仍无明显聚集,其甲醇氧化电流增加了30%,可以有效提高 DMFC的输出电流密度.
　　综上可见, hNCNC可以有效分散并稳定 Pt颗粒,从而提高电化学活性面积和甲醇电催化氧化活性,优于未掺杂的碳纳米笼和传统碳材料,展示了 hNCNC高分散 Pt颗粒用作 DMFC的高效阳极催化剂的重要前景,也表明 hNCNC有望成为应用广泛的新型载体.
