Composite solid electrolyte (CSE) consisting of Li + conductive fillers and polymer matrix has become attractive for high energy-density lithium batteries . Current researches focus on the “ceramic in polymer”-type CSE due to the severe agglomeration of ceramic particles. Consequently, the destroyed percolation network impedes the further improvement in ionic conductivity . In this work, we report a novel structural design of ceramic-enriched CSE consisting of three-dimensional (3D) interconnected Li 1.3 Al 0.3 Ti 1.7 (PO 4 ) 3 (LATP), polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) and LiN(SO 2 ) 2 (CF 3 ) 2 (LiTFSI). The 3D LATP network is constructed through the surface functionalization of LATP particles by polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA). Owing to the intermolecular interaction between PMMA and PVDF, the incorporation of PMMA-coated LATP (denoted as LATP@PMMA) enables the uniform distribution of ceramic phase and generates interconnected LATP network. Noticeably, such an electrolyte maximizes the utilization of inorganic fillers through the facile treatment of zero-dimensional materials, which is comparable to those 3D template-derived fillers. Furthermore, continuous Li + conduction pathways through LATP framework and LATP/PVDF interphase are guaranteed by the enhanced affinity of LATP towards PVDF matrix and the intrinsic Li + complexation capability of PMMA. Remarkable cycling performances of the LiNi 0.5 Co 0.2 Mn 0.3 O 2 /LATP@PMMA-PVDF/Li batteries confirm the feasibility of 3D ceramic-enriched composite electrolyte in the application of solid-state lithium batteries.

2-Amino-3-methylhexanoic acid (AMHA) was synthetized as a non-natural amino acid more than 70 years ago; however, its possible function as an inducer of plant resistance has not been reported. Plant resistance inducers, also known as plant elicitors, are becoming a novel and important development direction in crop protection and pest management. We found that free AMHA accumulated in the mycelia but not in fermentation broths of four fungal species,Magnaporthe oryzaeand threeAlternariaspp. We unequivocally confirmed that AMHA is a naturally occurring endogenous (2S, 3S)-α-amino acid, based on isolation, purification and structural analyses. Further experiments demonstrated that AMHA has potent activity-enhancing resistance against extreme temperature stresses in several plant species. It is also highly active against fungal, bacterial and viral diseases by inducing plant resistance. AMHA pretreatment strongly protected wheat against powdery mildew,ArabidopsisagainstPseudomonas syringaeDC3000 and tobacco againstTomato spotted wilt virus. AMHA exhibits a great potential to become a unique natural elicitor protecting plants against biotic and abiotic stresses.Keywords:agricultural production;natural product;plant resistance inducer;biopesticide;biotic and abiotic stress

Fe3O4-APTES-CS2 was prepared by modification of Fe3O4 with 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) and carbon disulfide (CS2). Lipase was covalently bonded to Fe3O4-APTES-CS2 to obtain the immobilized lipase Fe3O4-APTES-CS2-lipase. The textural characteristic of Fe3O4-APTES-CS2-lipase was assessed by scanning electron microscopy. The optimal immobilization conditions were 2.5 mg/mL lipase, pH 7.0, 35 °C, 3 h. The loading amount of lipase was 119.0 mg/g carrier. The immobilization efficiency reached 57%. (R)-(+)-N-acetyl-1-methyl-3-amphetamine was synthesized by Fe3O4-APTES-CS2-Li- pase.

3-Aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) is a silane widely used to supply amino groups for further modifications on various materials, but it is less studied as a catalyst to catalyze sol–gel silica polymerization. Here, by using APTES as the catalyst instead of the conventional basic catalysts, a novel strategy was developed to prepare silica-based molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs). Meanwhile, APTES was employed as the functional monomer to create imprinted nanocavities for specific recognition of target molecules. The as-synthesized MIP exhibited ultra-high recognition capability due to the elimination of the detrimental effect on the imprinting performance caused by the additional catalysts. The preparation process, specificity, pH effect, binding capacity and affinity of the MIP were studied in detail. The MIP microparticles could be packed into a solid phase extraction column for removing the target molecule in water efficiently, and the molecule could easily be enriched by 40 times. The interaction of the functional monomer and template was studied by the calculation method, giving a more clear understanding of the recognition behaviours of the imprinted polymers. The strategy could be extended not only to prepare highly specific MIPs for other small phosphoric molecules, but also for biomolecules e.g. phosphorylated peptides or proteins.

Pleurotus placentodes, a fungus, belongs to the Pleurotaceae family. The aim of the present study was to characterize the structure of a novel polysaccharide from fruiting bodies of P. placentodes (PPp-W) and evaluate its anticoagulant activity in vitro. The high-performance liquid chromatography and GC–MS analysis indicated that PPp-W with a molecular weight of 27.4 kDa was mainly composed of mannose (17.56%), glucose (6.37%), galactose (44.89%), and fucose (1.22%) with a certain amount of 3-O-methyled galactose. SEM, XRD, and AFM combined with Congo red test revealed that PPp-W was an irregular curly sheet with triple-helix conformation. The FT-IR, methylation, and nuclear magnetic resonance analysis indicated that PPp-W contained→6)-α-D-Galp-(1→, →6)-3-O-Me-α-D-Galp-(1→and →2, 6)-α-D-Galp-(1→ as main chain, partially substituted at O-2 and O-6 by non-reducing ends of β-D-Manp-(1→ and β-L-Fucp-(1→ with a small amount of α-1,3-linked-Glcp in backbone. PPp-W could significantly prolong APTT (12.9 ± 0.42 s, p < 0.001) and thrombin time (39.9 ± 0.28 s, p < 0.01) compared with the control group (11.45 ± 0.071 s and 38.05 ± 0.21 s), which showed that PPp-W had anticoagulant activity. These studies suggested that PPp-W was a 3-O-methylated heteroglycan and might be suitable for functional foods and natural drugs as an anticoagulant ingredient, which provided a basis for the application of polysaccharides from P. placentodes.

Thin layers of continuous gold have been deposited on the both sides of porous polypropylene films (PPF) via electroless plating method to form a sandwich structure with two conductive surfaces and an intermediate insulating layer (Au/PPF/Au). Then poly (3, 4-ethylenedioxy thiophene) (PEDOT) layers are electrodeposited on the two conductive sides via cyclic voltammetry method to form the sandwich-structured PEDOT-Au/PPF/Au-PEDOT. Gel electrolyte of H 3 PO 4 /polyvinyl alcohol (H 3 PO 4 /PVA) is then added to the sandwich-structured PEDOT-Au/PPF/Au-PEDOT to form the integrated flexible supercapacitor of Au-PEDOT|H 3 PO 4 /PVA|PEDOT-Au. The PEDOT-Au/PPF/Au-PEDOT sandwiched structures are characterized and the capacitive performances of the integrated flexible cells are investigated in detail. The results show that the optimum integrated flexible cell exhibits excellent cycling stability (91.8% capacitance retention after 20000 cycles) and relatively high areal specific capacitance. Furthermore, the cells of Au-PEDOT|H 3 PO 4 /PVA|PEDOT-Au not only exhibit excellent bending endurance (99.1% capacitance retention after 5000 repeated bending cycles), but also can be conveniently connected in series without additional wires. This integrated flexible cell may exhibit potential application in portable electronics.

Formamidinium (FA) lead triiodide perovskite with chlorine addition (NH2CHNH2PbI(3−x)Clx) is employed as a light harvester in mesoscopic solar cells for the first time. It is demonstrated that a phase-pure FAPbI(3−x)Clx perovskite layer can be synthesized using a one-step solution-process at 140 °C, and the resultant solar cells deliver a maximum power conversion efficiency of 7.51%, which is the most efficient formamidinium-lead-halide perovskite mesoscopic solar cell employing a polymer hole-transporting layer. The effects of the thermal annealing temperature on the quality/morphology of the perovskite layer and the solar cells performance are discussed. The advantages offered by the one-step solution-processing method and the reduced bandgap make FAPbI(3−x)Clx perovskites an attractive choice for future hybrid photovoltaics.

The dispersions was prepared by dispersing hydrophilic silica nanoparticles with an average diameter of 50 nm in 1-butyl-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([C 4 mim][BF 4 ]), and investigated under the steady shear and oscillatory shear, respectively. Experimental results indicate that all of the dispersions present shear thinning, notable shear thickening, and shear thinning successively with increasing shear rate; the shear thickening behavior is derived from silica nanoparticle clusters and strongly controlled by silica nanoparticle content and temperature. The shear thickening fluid (STF) exhibits reversible property and transient response ability, and the time of transient response is no more than 100 ms. The conductivity of the STF is increased with increasing silica nanoparticle content, and the conductivity of 27 wt% dispersions is even two times as big as that of pure [C 4 mim][BF 4 ]. The dispersions with high solid content dilate and present a phase transition changing from a liquid-like to a solid-like soft material in the shear thickening region. A theoretical model is developed to imitate the mechanism of shear thickening in the dispersions.

The vapor transport deposition (VTD) processing is one of the most promising techniques to fabricate quasi-one-dimensional antimony selenosulfide (Sb 2 (S,Se) 3 ) photovoltaic materials with micrometer-scale grains and preferred crystal orientations . However, current researches rarely involve the effect of evaporation source on the film growth by VTD. Herein, we adopt Sb 2 (S,Se) 3 tablets as evaporation sources to develop Sb 2 (S,Se) 3 solar cells for the first time. We find that increasing the evaporation source area can effectively improve the deposition rate of Sb 2 (S,Se) 3 films, leading to an enhancement of the (221) preferred orientation and columnar large grains of the absorber layers, further improves the device photovoltaic performance . With fine-tuning of the evaporation source area, the optimized Sb 2 (S,Se) 3 solar cells show a high efficiency up to 7.6%. This study proposes a unique strategy to improving the quality of low-dimensional materials and a deeper understanding of the growth mechanism via vacuum methods.

ABSTRACT Cynomorium songaricum is a traditional medicine and also a food material that is eaten raw or processed as tea or beverages. As a featured plant in semi-desert grasslands, C. songaricum is also eaten by the cattle and sheep in the area. This research study fed dairy sheep C. songaricum to determine the flavan-3-ols in sheep milk. Catechin (Cat), epicatechin (Epi), procyanidin A1 (A1), procyanidin A2 (A2), and procyanidin B1 (B1) were detected in sheep milk with the concentration being Epi > A2 > Cat > B1 > A1 at 24 h after the administration of C. songaricum . Neither A1 nor A2 were detected in the methanol extract of C. songaricum . Cysteine degradation of the plant revealed that in addition to Epi, A2 was the extending unit of the polymeric flavan-3-ols in C. songaricum , indicating that A2 is released digestively from the polymers and enters the milk. Procyanidin B-1 was converted to A1 on incubation in raw but not heated milk, indicating that the A1 in milk is the enzymatically transformed product of B1. Accelerated oxidation showed that the flavan-3-ols, B1, Cat, and Epi significantly protects the unsaturated triacyglycerols in the milk from oxidation. The flavan-3-ol could slow down the oxidation of glutathione and the latter may play an important role in preventing the milk triglycerides from oxidation. Flavan-3-ols are polyphenols with many health benefits. The present research revealed the antioxidant activities of flavan-3-ols that could be absorbed to sheep milk, adding new evidences for the values of these flavan-3-ols and for the milk.

In this work, a series of In(OH) 3 with abundant indium vacancies were synthesized by hydrothermal method using mixed solvent of ethylenediamine(En) and water for photocatalytic reduction of CO 2 with H 2 O vapor. The morphology, particle size, crystallinity, pore structure, and vacancy concentration of photocatalysts were successfully regulated by adjusting the ratio of En and water in mixed solvent, which were characterized by XRD, FT-IR, TG-DTA, SEM, HRTEM, UV–vis DRS, PL spectra, XPS, and EPR. Moreover, the effect of En/water ratio on the adsorption capacity to CO 2 and photo-electrical properties of In(OH) 3 were further investigated by in-situ FTIR, PL spectra, UV–vis DRS, CV, and EIS. In(OH) 3 prepared in mixed solution exhibited much higher photocatalytic activity for CO 2 reduction with H 2 O vapor compared to that prepared with water only solvent. The enhanced photocatalytic performance can be attributed to the special morphology, smaller particle size, larger BET surface area, and especially generated indium vacancies creating defect energy levels in the bandgap, which improved visible light absorption, carrier separation, and CO 2 chemisorption. This work paves the way to enable a non-visible-light response material with high visible-light photocatalytic activity by regulating vacancy concentration via a facile method.

The classic prescription Zuojin Pill (ZJP) shows a good therapeutic effect on chronic atrophic gastritis (CAG); it is of great significance to clarify its specific mechanism. Therefore, we explore the mechanism of ZJP on MNNG-induced CAG by integrating approaches. First of all, through the pathological changes of gastric tissue and the expression level of PGI and PGI/II in serum, the expression of inflammation-related factors was determined by RT-PCR to determine the efficacy. Then, UPLC-Q-TOF/MS was used for plasma and urine metabolomic analysis to screen the specific potential biomarkers and metabolic pathway of ZJP in ameliorating CAG and to explore its possible mechanism. ZJP significantly ameliorate the pathological injury of gastric tissue, increase levels of PGI and PGI/II, and reduce the expression level of proinflammatory factors. Through metabolomic analysis, 9 potential metabolic differences were identified and 6 related metabolic pathways were enriched. These findings indicate for the first time the potential mechanism of ZJP in improving CAG induced by MNNG and are of great significance to the clinical development and application of ZJP-related drugs.
