Silicon as one of the most promising anode materials suffers from its low electronic conductivity and large volume changes during the lithiation/delithiation processes, resulting in a huge capacity fading upon cycling. Herein, we design a single-wall carbon nanotube (SWCNT) coating on the silicon/carbon (Si/C) electrode to improve its cycling performance. By this simple configuration, the commercial Si/C electrode delivers a high reversible capacity of 653.8 mA h g −1 at current density of 65 mA g −1 and exhibits excellent cycling stability with capacity retention 79.8% after 150 cycles. As expected, the SWCNT layer on the surface of electrode improves the electronic conductivity of the electrode and serves as a barrier layer to prevent the electrode surface from cracking and delaminating, which gives the best reversible capacity and longer life cycle. This design can eliminate much more complicated processes for providing some potential in commercial applications.

The increasing accumulation of waste plastics has a range of negative impacts on the land and marine environments. Solar-driven methods of converting waste into useful chemicals and green energy H 2 are gaining attention due to their efficiency, stability and low cost. Here, flexible nickel phosphide/titanium dioxide/carbon nanofiber (Ni 2 P/TiO 2 /C NFs) film photocatalyst was prepared by electrospinning, heat treatment, hydrothermal method, and phosphate treatment. The obtained Ni 2 P/TiO 2 /C NFs presented a continuous homogeneous fibrous shape with TiO 2 NPs incorporation into the carbon NFs and Ni 2 P NPs coating on the surface of the NFs. The film exhibited promising flexibility and excellent light absorption performance. As a result, the Ni 2 P/TiO 2 /C NFs film was utilized to reform polyethylene terephthalate (PET) into a variety of organic products and clean energy H 2 under alkaline aqueous conditions. In addition, the flexible Ni 2 P/TiO 2 /C NFs film could be easily separated from the solution for recycling, and the stable hydrogen production performance was maintained after multiple cycles. This work applies an inexpensive and recyclable composite photocatalyst to the recycling of waste polyester, which is a crucial step towards the practical application of recyclable photocatalysts in resource recovery.

A bioinspired organic electrochemical transistor (OECT) with synaptic and sensing functions has shown great potential in wearable neuromorphic electronics and brain-like sensory systems. Despite the extraordinary progress in simulating neuromorphic functions, it is still difficult to design a synaptic OECT with a bionic structure, long-term durability, low energy consumption and biomarker monitoring capability. Here, a fibrous OECT (FOECT) constructed from functional boron nitride (FBN)-mediated polypyrrole (PPy) neurofibers and an ion-gel dielectric is proposed for the first time. Benefiting from the porous and consecutive PPy nanonetwork, the synaptic FOECT shows a large on–off current ratio (1.46 × 104) and high transconductance (24.6 mS). Key synaptic features, such as excitatory/inhibitory postsynaptic current (EPSC/IPSC), paired-pulse facilitation/depression (PPF/PPD), short-term plasticity (STP) and cyclic endurance (4000 cycles) were successfully emulated. A low power consumption of 0.85 pj per spike was attained due to the short energy dissipation pathway of the nanostructured PPy channel. In addition, a high surface area and big transconductance guaranteed the FOECT a linear detection region (coefficient R2 = 0.966) towards 10 pg mL−1–0.2 mg mL−1 of C-reactive protein (CRP) with good reproducibility. Hence, this work details a promising strategy for next-generation smart textiles with energy-efficient neuromorphic computing and high-performance synaptic devices.

Background Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most prevalent cancers in the world, with a high likelihood of metastasis and a dismal prognosis. The reprogramming of glucose metabolism is critical in the development of HCC. The Warburg effect has recently been confirmed to occur in a variety of cancers, including HCC. However, little is known about the molecular biological mechanisms underlying the Warburg effect in HCC cells. In this study, we sought to better understand how methyltransferase 5, N6-adenosine (METTL5) controls the development of HCC and the Warburg effect. Methods In the current study, quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction and Western blotting were used to detect the expression of METTL5 in HCC tissues and cell lines. Several different cell models and animal models were established to determine the role of METTL5 in glucose metabolism reprogramming and the underlying molecular mechanism of HCC. Glutathione-S-transferase pulldown, coimmunoprecipitation, RNA sequencing, non-targeted metabolomics, polysome profiling, and luciferase reporter assays were performed to investigate the molecular mechanisms of METTL5 in HCC cells. Results We discovered that METTL5 drove glucose metabolic reprogramming to promote the proliferation and metastasis of HCC. Mechanistically, upregulation of METTL5 promoted c-Myc stability and thus activated its downstream glycolytic genes lactate dehydrogenase A ( LDHA ), enolase 1 ( ENO1 ), triosephosphate isomerase 1 ( TPI1 ), solute carrier family 2 member 1 ( SLC2A1 ), and pyruvate kinase M2 ( PKM2 ). The c-Box and ubiquitin binding domain (UBA) regions of ubiquitin specific peptidase 5 (USP5) binded to c-Myc protein and inhibited K48-linked polyubiquitination of c-Myc. Further study revealed that METTL5 controled the USP5 translation process, which in turn regulated the ubiquitination of c-Myc. Furthermore, we identified cAMP responsive element binding protein 1 (CREB1)/P300 as a critical transcriptional regulator of METTL5 that promoted the transcription of METTL5 in HCC. In patient-derived tumor xenograft (PDX) models, adenovirus-mediated knockout of METTL5 had a good antitumor effect and prolonged the survival of PDX-bearing mice. Conclusions These findings point to a novel mechanism by which CREB1/P300-METTL5-USP5-c-Myc controls abnormal glucose metabolism and promotes tumor growth, suggesting that METTL5 is a potential therapeutic target and prognostic biomarker for HCC.

A blue thermochromic dye (B-TD) was prepared by mixing crystal violet lactone (CVL), hydroxyethyl acrylate (HEA) and myristic acid myristyl ester (MME). B-TD is a phase-changing material and can change colour at above 32°C about 5 s. The B-TD can permeate into pre-treated pinewood samples about 8–10 mm from the surface of samples after immersed pre-treated pinewood samples in B-TD for about 10 min at 70 °C. A blue thermochromic pinewood (B-TP) was prepared by filled the B-TD into pre-treated pinewood and covered polypropylene wax that can prevent B-TD overflowing from wood-based material when at phase-changing temperature. The B-TP can change colour from dark blue to light blue at 38–48°C, and can recover dark blue at below 38°C after about 5 h. B-TP can be used in a kind of pinewood woodwork that can indicate the temperature of woodwork surface to users by its colour-change phenomenon at 38–48°C, covering the lowest temperature of cryogenic burns (42°C), so this kind of pinewood woodwork can warn the temperature of cryogenic burns for avoiding cryogenic burns by its colour-change phenomenon.

Although C f /ZrB 2 –SiC composites prepared via direct ink writing combined with low-temperature hot-pressing were shown to exhibit high relative density, high preparation efficiency, and excellent flexural strength and fracture toughness in our previous work, their oxidation and ablation resistance at high and ultrahigh temperatures had not been investigated. In this work, the oxidation and ablation resistance of C f /ZrB 2 –SiC composites were evaluated via static oxidation at high temperature (1500°C) and oxyacetylene ablation at ultrahigh temperatures (2080 and 2270°C), respectively. The thickness of the oxide layer of the C f /ZrB 2 –SiC composites is <40 μm after oxidizing at 1500°C for 1 h. The C f /ZrB 2 –SiC composites exhibit non-ablative properties after oxyacetylene ablation at 2080 and 2270°C for >600 s, with mass ablation rates of 3.77 × 10 −3 and 5.53 × 10 −3 mg/(cm 2 s), and linear ablation rates of −4.5 × 10 −4 and −5.8 × 10 −4 mm/s, respectively. Upon an increase in the ablation temperature from 2080 to 2270°C, the thickness of the total oxide layer increases from 360 to 570 μm, and the carbon fibers remain intact in the unaffected region. Moreover, the oxidation and ablation process of C f /ZrB 2 –SiC at various temperatures was analyzed and discussed.

Implant materials are prone to bacterial infections and cause serious consequences, while traditional antibiotic therapy has a long treatment cycle and even causes bacterial resistance. In this work, a photothermal therapy (PTT) assisted drug release system has been developed on the implant surface for in situ rapid disinfection under 808 nm light irradiation within a short time, in which gentamicin (Gent) is loaded by polyethylene glycol (PEG) modified molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) on Ti surface, and then encapsulated with chitosan (CS) (CS/Gent/PEG/MoS2-Ti). The hyperthermia produced by the coatings irradiated by 808 nm near-infrared (NIR) light can not only accelerate the local release of Gent, but also reduce the activity of bacteria, which makes it easy for these locally released drugs to enter the interior of the bacteria to inhibit the protein synthesis and destroy the cell membrane. When maintained at 50 °C for 5 min under NIR irradiation, this system can achieve an antibacterial efficacy of 99.93% and 99.19% against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus, respectively. By contrast, even after treatment for 120 min, only a 93.79% antibacterial ratio can be obtained for Gent alone. This is because hyperthermia produced from the coatings during irradiation can assist antibiotics in killing bacteria in a short time. Even under a low dose of 2 μg mL−1, the photothermal effect assisted gentamicin can achieve an antibacterial efficacy of 96.86% within 5 min. In vitro cell culture shows that the modified surface can facilitate cell adhesion, spreading and proliferation. The 7 day subcutaneous infection model confirms that the prepared surface system can exhibit a much faster sterilization and tissue reconstruction than the control group with light assistance. Compared with the traditional drug release system, this photothermy controlled drug-loaded implant surface system can not only provide rapid and high-efficiency in situ sterilization, but also offer long-term prevention of local bacterial infection.

As an important biomarker, cytochrome c (Cyt c) plays a crucial role in mitochondrial electron transport chain and cell apoptosis. Herein, a label-free near-infrared (NIR) Ag 2 S quantum dots (QDs)-based fluorescent strategy was constructed for the sensitive and selective detection of Cyt c. In this system, Cyt c was hydrolyzed by trypsin, and the resulting heme-peptide fragment exhibited peroxidase-like activity for catalytic decomposition of H 2 O 2 into hydroxyl radical (·OH). The presence of caffeic acid in this system resulted into the formation of caffeic acid-quinone due to the strong oxidizing ability of ·OH. The production of caffeic acid-quinone led to the fluorescence quenching of Ag 2 S QDs through electron transfer mechanism. Based on the cascade reaction , we successfully developed a label-free approach to detect Cyt c using Ag 2 S QDs as nanoprobes. Under the optimized conditions, the fluorescence intensity of Ag 2 S QDs was linearly relative to the concentration of Cyt c over the range from 2.0 to 150 nM with a detection limit of 1.7 nM. In addition, this strategy was successfully applied for quantitative detection of Cyt c in cell lysates of H 2 O 2 or etoposide (anticancer drug)-induced apoptotic cells, providing great potential application for cell-based oxidation pressure determination and screening of anticancer drugs.

BCN (boron carbon nitride) nanosheets are promising photocatalyst materials for solar fuel production by visible light-driven water splitting and CO2 reduction due to their tunable band gap and unique properties. C-doping into h-BN by thermal annealing makes possible the preparation of BCN nanosheets with photocatalytic activity under visible light irradiation, but it generally requires a very high temperature (>1250 °C) from the thermodynamic viewpoint. Here, we report a new method to prepare BCN nanosheets with visible light-photocatalytic activity at lower annealing temperature (1000 °C) than equilibrium by adding alkaline earth metal compounds. BCN nanosheets formed in borate melt show a clear layered structure, tunable bandgap and photocatalytic activity for water splitting and CO2 reduction under visible light illumination. This provides a direction for doping other elements into h-BN at low annealing temperature by alkaline earth metal borates.

Nickel-based metal organic framework materials were first prepared by hydrothermal method and used as the precursor. Ni/nitrogen-carbon (Ni–N–C), Ni@NiO–N–C and NiO–N–C mixtures derived from metal organic skeleton were successfully prepared by controlling the heat treatment conditions and applied in the electrocatalytic oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Through a series of research of OER catalytic performance, OER process kinetics, and stability, the as-prepared Ni @ NiO/N–C nanowires (NW) (250 °C) with core-shell structure showed the most prominent activity. Compared with other derived mixed materials, the oxygen evolution overpotential was 390 mV at the current density of 10 mA cm −2 , and the Tafel slope was 100 mV dec −1 . Moreover, the material showed excellent stability without significant decrease of activity after a long time of testing. The detail study regarding the formation and evolution of Ni/NiO NWs is of considerable value and may offer prospects for developing highly active electrocatalysts in electrochemical energy devices.

This study describes the application of in situ extractive fermentation (ISEF) to increase the yields of antroquinonol (AQ) and antrodin C (AC) from Antrodia camphorata S-29. In initial screening experiments, nine solvents were tested to identify the most suitable extractant for the in situ extraction of AQ and AC. These solvents included n-tetradecane, n-dodecane, n-decane, heavy paraffin, light paraffin, oleyl alcohol, oleic acid, butyl oleate, and isopropyl myristate. Of these, oleic acid was the most suitable solvent for the in situ extraction of AQ and AC. The use of oleic acid as an in situ extractant significantly improved AQ and AC productions, which were approximately 5-fold and 8-fold that of the control, respectively. The recovered oleic acid was treated with a silica gel solid-phase extraction column, which was able to rapidly adsorb the bioactive metabolites. The separated solvent hardly contained fermentation products and could be directly reused in ISEF. AQ and AC were obtained with purities of over 75% by silica gel column chromatography. The recoveries of AQ and AC reached 70.7 ± 0.8% and 81.5 ± 1.2%, respectively.

In this paper, bimetallic sulfide Co 8 FeS 8 /N-C dodecahedral nanocages (DNCs) were synthesized by using ZIF-67 as a template through subsequent pyrolysis and sulfuration process. Co 8 FeS 8 nanoparticles are embedded carbon framework, which has porous hollow interior and conductive N-doped carbon matrix. When the Co 8 FeS 8 /N-C DNCs were applied as anode materials in lithium-ion battery, the bimetallic sulfide composites realize high reversible capacity (396 mA h g −1 at 0.5 A g −1 after 400 cycles) and excellent rate capability (349 mA h g −1 at 5.0 A g −1 ). Meanwhile, Co 8 FeS 8 /N-C DNCs also have superior cycle performance (308 mA h g −1 at 5.0 A g −1 after 1000 cycles). The remarkable properties are attributed to the synergy effect of bimetallic sulfide and the special polyhedral hollow structure with the conductive N-dopped mesoporous carbon.
