Graphical A controllable amount of K + has been intercalated into V 2 O 5 layers to form stable K−O bonds between the V 2 O 5 layers, which works as the “pillar” to greatly enhance its structural stability. The“pillar effect”of the K−O bond can effectively inhibit the dissolution of vanadium-based oxides in the aqueous electrolyte, being crucial to the electrochemical performance of aqueous ZIBs. Aqueous zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs) have attracted widespread attention due to their advantages in safety and environmental benignity. However, achieving a cathode material with stable electrochemical performance for such a system remains an ongoing challenge. Herein, a K 0.5 V 2 O 5 cathode has been designed and synthesized by intercalating of K + into V 2 O 5 , thus constructing a stable crystal structure by forming chemical bonds between V 2 O 5 layers. The successful intercalation of K + has been confirmed by a series of experimental tests and Vienna Ab-initio Simulation Package simulation. These layer-interlinking chemical bonds act as “pillars” to strongly hold the V 2 O 5 layers together and protect them from dissolution. Furthermore, the K 0.5 V 2 O 5 electrode also exhibits excellent durability (about 150 mA h g −1 at 5 A g −1 after 3000 cycles). More impressively, even after standing for three days in the solution of 3 M ZnSO 4 electrolyte, the K 0.5 V 2 O 5 electrode still maintains a high capacity of 92.2 mA h g −1 after 150 cycles, demonstrating its outstanding stability and tolerance in such aqueous electrolyte.

The activity coefficient of CoO in SiO 2 -saturated MnO-SiO 2 slag was measured using metal-slag-gas equilibrium experiments under controlled oxygen potentials (10 −12 to 10 −10 atm) at 1623 K. The solubility of CoO in the slag increased with increasing oxygen potential and cobalt content in the alloy. The activity coefficient of cobalt oxide, γ CoO , referred to solid CoO, can be described as: γ CoO = 1.65 − 0.14 (wt pct CoO), where (wt pct CoO) represents the mass percent of CoO in the slag.

High dielectric constant (k) polymer nanocomposites have shown great potential in dielectric and energy storage applications in the past few decades. The introduction of high-k nanomaterials into ferroelectric polymers has proven to be a promising strategy for the fabrication of high-k nanocomposites. One-dimensional large-aspect-ratio nanowires exhibit superiority in enhancing k values and energy density of polymer nanocomposites in comparison to their spherical counterparts. However, the impact of their intrinsic properties on the dielectric properties of polymer nanocomposites has been seldom investigated. Herein, four kinds of nanowires (Na2Ti3O7, TiO2, BaTiO3, and SrTiO3) with different inherent characteristics are elaborately selected to fabricate high-k ferroelectric polymer nanocomposites. Dopamine functionalization facilitates the excellent dispersion of these nanowires in the ferroelectric polymer matrix because of the strong polymer/nanowire interfacial adhesion. A thorough comparative study on the dielectric properties and energy storage capability of the nanowires-based nanocomposites has been presented. The results reveal that, among the four types of nanowires, BaTiO3 NWs show the best potential in improving the energy storage capability of the proposed nanocomposites, resulting from the most signficant increase of k while retaining the rather low dielectric loss and leakage current.

Parallel monitoring of K+ and protoporphyrin IX (PPIX) is of vital importance because they are not only involved in a variety of biological processes but also closely linked to each other in numerous cellular pathways. However, there are currently no existing methods that can meet the requirements for parallel and in vivo detection of K+ and PPIX in living organisms. Herein, we demonstrated a functional nucleic acid (FNA)-based technique for parallel monitoring of K+ and PPIX in living animals. Specifically, the selected G-rich FNA probe was selectively induced to form a parallel G-quadruplex by K+. The parallel G-quadruplex then remarkably enhanced the fluorescence of PPIX. Thus, by modulating the fluorescence “turn on” with the G-quadruplex and K+/PPIX, both K+ and PPIX could be detected. After validating the developed method for selective and sensitive detection of K+ and PPIX in vitro, their dynamic changes in living organisms (i.e., living brains and tumors) following various physiological and pathological processes were simultaneously monitored. The current study not only provides a general method for the detection of metal ions and bioactive molecules but also presents a way to investigate their synergistic functions in the regulation of various biological processes. It may also be helpful for improving the imaging and therapeutic efficacy of PPIX and 5-ALA.

Solid-solution phase K(Mn,Zn)F3 mesoporous microspheres have been successfully prepared via a simple one-pot hydrothermal method by using citrate ions as a chelating agent. Effects of the reaction time on the phase transformation and morphological evolution of the K(Mn,Zn)F3 microspheres have been carefully investigated. The results revealed that the hierarchical mesoporous spherical structures with a solid-solution phase were formed from a core–shell structure with mixed phases via the nanoscale Kirkendall effect. It is noted that Yb3+/Er3+-codoped K(Mn,Zn)F3 microspheres exhibit intense single-band red up-conversion emission with environmental responsivity upon excitation using a 980 nm laser diode, indicating a promising potential biomedical application for drug delivery.

RMgPO 4 :Mn 2+ (R = Li, Na, and K) phosphors are synthesized by a solid-state reaction method in air. The crystal structures and luminescence properties are investigated. A broad emission band peaking at 638 nm of RMgPO 4 :Mn 2+ (R = Li and Na) phosphors with excitation 408 nm is observed in the range of 550–800 nm owing to the 4 T 1 (G) → 6 A 1 transition of the Mn 2+ ion. KMgPO 4 :Mn 2+ phosphor with excitation 416 nm shows a broad emission band peaking at 658 nm in the range of 550–800 nm owing to the 4 T 1 (G) → 6 A 1 transition of the Mn 2+ ion. The optimal Mn 2+ ion concentration in RMgPO 4 :Mn 2+ (R = Li, Na, and K) phosphors is about 5 mol%. The lifetimes of RMg 0.95 PO 4 :0.05Mn 2+ (R = Li, Na, and K) phosphors is ~6.21, 6.03, and 6.28 ms, respectively. The luminous mechanism is explained by Tanabe-Sugano diagram of Mn 2+ ion.

Monacolin K (MK) produced by Monascus spp. is mostly used to regulate cholesterol level, while it can be contaminated by citrinin, a mycotoxin yielded by some Monascus strains. To develop production of citrinin-free MK, an M . sp. MS-1 strain, identified as M. pilosus by morphologies and internal transcribed spacer sequences analysis, was isolated from red fermented rice. After 14 days of fermentation, yields of citrinin-free MK could be up to 0.58 mg/mL and 16.45 mg/g in liquid- and solidstate fermentation products under optimal conditions, respectively. Further determination revealed that no citrinin biosynthesis related genes such as ctnA , pksCT , ctnE , and ctnR were detected. Thus, HPLC combined with citrinin-related gene analyses can be used for rapid screening of non-citrinin production Monascus strains.

Densities (ρ) and viscosities (η) of aqueous xylitol solutions with glycine, l-alanine, l-valine, l-threonine, or l-arginine were measured at T = (293.15 to 323.15) K under atmospheric pressure. The density values were utilized to further calculate the apparent molar volume (Vφ), the limiting partial molar volumes of amino acids (Vφ0), the limiting partial molar volumes of transfer (ΔtrVφ0) and the interaction coefficients Vab, Vabb, Vabbb. The viscosity data were used to obtain viscosity B-coefficient, the free energies of activation per mole of solvent (Δμ10≠) and solute (Δμ20≠). The limiting partial molar volumes of transfer and the free energies of activation per mole of both solvent (Δμ10≠) and solute (Δμ20≠) were analyzed based on the cosphere overlap model and transition state theory, respectively. The hydration number of amino acid was determined using the obtained limiting partial molar volume and viscosity B-coefficient.

Albumen and BaTiO 3 nanoparticles are employed to make solution processable nanocomposite for high permittivity films. The nanoparticles are modified with poly(acrylic acid) molecules to achieve homogeneous dispersion in albumen aqueous solution and made into films by drop casting. The dielectric constant and loss tangent of albumen–BaTiO 3 nanocomposites are investigated as the function of volume fraction of BaTiO 3 . The nanocomposites exhibit maximum relative permittivity of 52 and good dielectric stability over a wide range of frequency, while the loss tangent is below 0.05 even at high BaTiO 3 loading of 80 vol%. The dielectric constants of nanocomposites with lower volume fractions (<41 vol%) are in good agreement with the Lichtenecker-Logarithmic model.

Arsenic trioxide (As 2 O 3 ) is used to treat acute promyelocytic leukemia. However, the cardiotoxicity of long QT syndrome restricts its clinical application. Previous studies showed that As 2 O 3 can damage the human ether-a-go-go-related gene (hERG) current via disturbing its trafficking to cellular membrane. This study aimed to investigate whether the As 2 O 3 -insulted hERG channel can be rescued by resveratrol, a recognized cardioprotective agent. The whole-cell patch clamp technique was used to record the hERG current and action potential duration. Co-immunoprecipitation and Western blot assay were applied to determine the function of hERG-Hsp70/Hsp90 chaperone complexes and the expression alteration of protein-folding-related proteins, respectively. Compared with treatment of As 2 O 3 alone, co-treatment with resveratrol successfully restored the current and surface expression of hERG and obviously shortened action potential duration in guinea pig ventricular myocytes. Further experiments demonstrate that resveratrol relieved As 2 O 3 -caused endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress by restoring the function of hERG-Hsp70/Hsp90 chaperone complexes and downregulating the protein expression of ER chaperone proteins (calnexin and calreticulin) and activating transcription factor 6. In conclusion, resveratrol was able to rescue the trafficking deficiency and relieve the ER stress (ERS). Our findings suggest that resveratrol has a potential effect to alleviate the adverse effect of As 2 O 3 on cardiotoxicity.

The solubility of phthalic anhydride was measured at 283–313 K under atmospheric pressure in ethyl acetate, n -propyl acetate, methyl acetate, acetone, 1,4-dioxane, n -hexane, n -butyl acetate, cyclohexane, and dichloromethane. The solubility of phthalic anhydride in all solvents increased with the increasing temperature. The Van’t Hoff equation, modified Apelblat equation, λ h equation, and Wilson model were used to correlate the experimental solubility data. The standard dissolution enthalpy, the standard entropy, and the standard Gibbs energy were evaluated based on the Van’t Hoff analysis. The experimental data and model parameters would be useful for optimizing of the separation processes involving phthalic anhydride.

Tin sulfide (SnS) exhibits the potential to be used as a superior-performance electrode material for potassium ion batteries. However, serious volume expansion and poor ion transport capacity hinder the applications of SnS. In order to solve the above problems, this work designed a structure that parallel WS 2 sheets were embedded in SnS sheets (SnS/WS 2 @C). SnS/WS 2 @C displayed excellent kinetic properties and stability when applied to anode materials for potassium ion batteries, as well as a high reversible capacity. SnS/WS 2 @C maintains a superior specific capacity of 619 mAh g −1 after 100 cycles at 0.2 A g −1 and 210 mAh g −1 at 10 A g −1 . Such excellent performance is attributed to the fact that parallelly oriented WS 2 sheets provide fast channels for the transportation of potassium ions, which significantly improves the kinetic performance of the electrode, and can play an anchoring role for products in the process of charging and discharging by virtue of its excellent stability to effectively prevent structural fragmentation. This work provides new ideas for improving ion diffusion and enhancing the structural stability of transition metal layered compounds while maintaining the capacity advantage.
