Zhenjiang aromatic vinegar is one of the most popular vinegars in China, which can be produced by either traditional or modern techniques. Aroma profiles of the traditional Zhenjiang aromatic vinegar (TZAV) and the modern Zhenjiang aromatic vinegar (MZAV) at different stages of their aging were analyzed by headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME) with an aid of DVB/CAR/PDMS fiber combined with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and gas chromatography-olfactometry (GC-O). A total of 53 volatile compounds were identified. Among them, 43 aromas were positively identified after comparison with their corresponding authentic compounds. Two volatiles, including isopentyl alcohol and butyl benzoate, were only identified in TZAV, while propiophenone was only identified in MZAV. In addition, some volatiles were found to be generated during the aging period, which included isopentyl alcohol, 3-(methylthio)propyl acetate, and 2-acetoxy-3-butanone in the TZAV samples, and 2-ethyl-1-hexanol, octanoic acid, propiophenone, and dimethyl trisulfide in the MZAV samples. The total amount of volatile compounds in the MZAV was greater than its counterpart TZAV. Moreover, 29 odor-active compounds were recognized by GC-O analysis, while 25 of them were confirmed by their authentic compounds, and their perceived odors included sweet, acid, buttery, floral, herbal, fruit, fresh, pungent, almond, and geraniol notes.

Hongmei is a new potato variety developed in recent year, which is suitable for raw eating as a kind of fruit. In this study, sensory evaluations, nutritional components, morphology characteristics of starch granules, phenolic compounds, sugars, glycoalkaloids, and amino acid composition of potato Hongmei were investigated. The results show that Hongmei be suitable for raw eating mainly based on three reasons: (1) possess a juicy characteristic and lower earthy smell, with a distinctive fruity flavor of fresh cucumber; (2) the average particle size of starch from Hongmei is 18.31 ± 7.71 μm, which is smaller than the commercial potato starch significant ( p < 0.01); (3) with a content of 653.64 ± 83.25 mg/100 g of fructose, which is similar to the sweet potato be suitable for raw eating. The results also show that Hongmei had high concentrations of crude protein, total ascorbic acid, but lower starch content. The total glycoalkaloids content in the flesh is only 5.52 mg/kg, which implied that it is safe for raw eating. However, due to the total glycoalkaloids in the Hongmei peel is 358.88 mg/kg, which is higher than the safe standard of 200 mg/kg, it is recommended to peel when eating raw.

A simple solution processing method was developed to grow large-scale well-aligned single crystals including 6,13-bis(triisopropylsilylethynyl)pentacene (TIPS-pentacene), anthracene, tetracene, perylene, C 60 and tetracyanoquinodimethane. As pinned by a solid needle, a droplet of semiconductor solution dried into single-crystal arrays on a 1 cm × 2 cm substrate. TIPS-pentacene was used to demonstrate the fabrication of hundreds of field-effect transistors (FETs) with the hole mobility as high as 6.46 cm 2 V −1 s −1 . As such, this work provides a high-throughput, yet efficient approach for statistical examination on the FET performance of organic single crystals.

The sluggish charge transfer and poor intrinsic activity are the bottlenecks that hamper the further development of electrocatalysts for hydrogen evolution. A novel core-shell heterostructure of Cu 3 P@Ni is fabricated, which is composed of Cu 3 P nanorods covered by metallic Ni. The as-prepared Cu 3 P@Ni exhibits a durable and superior activity toward hydrogen evolution, with an overpotential of 42 mV to deliver 10 mA·cm −2 and a Tafel slope of 41 mV·dec −1 . Charge redistribution is observed after successfully constructing the core-shell heterostructure, leading to the altered electronic structure. The theoretical calculations have manifested that Cu 3 P@Ni exhibits a zero bandgap and optimized adsorption strength of intermediates, which could give rise to the accelerated charge transfer as well as increased intrinsic activity. This work could shed light on the development of novel electrocatalysts with modulated electronic structure for highly efficient hydrogen evolution.

Layered transition metal oxides are the most important cathode materials for Li/Na/K ion batteries. Suppressing undesirable phase transformations during charge-discharge processes is a critical and fundamental challenge towards the rational design of high-performance layered oxide cathodes. Here we report a shale-like Na x MnO 2 (S-NMO) electrode that is derived from a simple but effective water-mediated strategy. This strategy expands the Na + layer spacings of P2-type Na 0.67 MnO 2 and transforms the particles into accordion-like morphology. Therefore, the S-NMO electrode exhibits improved Na + mobility and near-zero-strain property during charge-discharge processes, which leads to outstanding rate capability (100 mAh g −1 at the operation time of 6 min) and cycling stability (>3000 cycles). In addition, the water-mediated strategy is feasible to other layered sodium oxides and the obtained S-NMO electrode has an excellent tolerance to humidity. This work demonstrates that engineering the spacings of alkali-metal layer is an effective strategy to stabilize the structure of layered transition metal oxides.

In this work, nickel sulfide (NiS)/bismuth oxybromide (BiOBr) hybrids were synthesized by a two-step hydrothermal method. Some advanced tools were employed to characterize the crystal phase, morphological evolution, light absorption and photocatalytic performance. Significantly, NiS/BiOBr hybrids exhibited enhanced photocatalytic activity toward rhodamine B (RhB) degradation under visible light irradiation. Comparatively, NS/BOB-3.0 showed the highest degradation rate, over 2.5 times higher than that of pure BiOBr. Furthermore, the retarded recombination rate of photogenerated carriers contributed to the improved photocatalytic performance. The results indicate that hybrids may be a promising method for enhancing the photocatalytic ability of BiOX-based semiconductor.

Catalysts capable of electrochemical overall water splitting in acidic, neutral, and alkaline solution are important materials. This work develops bifunctional catalysts with single atom active sites through a pyrolysis-free route. Starting with a conjugated framework containing Fe sites, the addition of Ni atoms is used to weaken the adsorption of electrochemically generated intermediates, thus leading to more optimized energy level sand enhanced catalytic performance. The pyrolysis-free synthesis also ensured the formation of well-defined active sites within the framework structure, providing ideal platforms to understand the catalytic processes. The as-prepared catalyst exhibits efficient catalytic capability for electrochemical water splitting in both acidic and alkaline electrolytes. At a current density of 10 mA cm −2 , the overpotential for hydrogen evolution and oxygen evolution is 23/201 mV and 42/194 mV in 0.5 M H 2 SO 4 and 1 M KOH, respectively. Our work not only develops a route towards efficient catalysts applicable across a wide range of pH values, it also provides a successful showcase of a model catalyst for in-depth mechanistic insight into electrochemical water splitting.

Controlling the self-assembly of diphenylalanine peptide (FF) into various nanoarchitectures has received great amounts of attention in recent years. Here, we report the temperature-induced reversible self-assembly of diphenylalanine peptide to microtubes, nanowires, or organogel in different solvents. We also find that the organogel in isopropanol transforms into crystalline flakes or nanowires when the temperature increases. The reversible self-assembly in polar solvents may be mainly controlled by electronic and aromatic interactions between the FF molecules themselves, which is associated with the dissociation equilibrium and significantly influenced by temperature. We found that the organogel in the isopropanol solvent made a unique transition to crystalline structures, a process that is driven by temperature and may be kinetically controlled. During the heating-cooling process, FF preferentially self-assembles to metastable nanofibers and organogel. They further transform to thermodynamically stable crystal structures via molecular rearrangement after introducing an external energy, such as the increasing temperature used in this study. The strategy demonstrated in this study provides an efficient way to controllably fabricate smart, temperature-responsive peptide nanomaterials and enriches the understanding of the growth mechanism of diphenylalanine peptide nanostructures.

Individual free amino acid δ 15 N values in plant tissue reflect the metabolic pathways involved in their biosynthesis and catabolism and could thus aid understanding of environmental stress and anthropogenic effects on plant metabolism. In this study, compound-specific nitrogen isotope analysis of amino acid by gas chromatography-combustion-isotope ratio mass spectrometry (GC-C-IRMS) was carried out to determine individual free amino acid δ 15 N values. High correlations were observed between the δ 15 N values obtained by GC-C-IRMS and elemental analyzer-isotope ratio mass spectrometry (EA-IRMS) determinations, and the mean precision measured was better than 1 ‰. Cation-exchange chromatography was employed to purify the sample, and the difference between prior to and following passage through the resin was within 1 ‰. The amino acid δ 15 N values of plant leave samples following incubation in 15 N-nitrate at different time points were determined. A typical foliar free amino acid 15 N-enrichment pattern was found, and glutamine was the most rapidly labeled amino acid; other amino acids derived from the GS-GOGAT cycle were also enriched. The pyruvate family amino acids were labeled less quickly followed by the aromatic amino acids. This study highlighted that amino acid metabolism pathways had a major effect on the δ 15 N values. With the known amino acid metabolism pathways and δ 15 N values determined by the presented method, the influence of various external factors on the metabolic cycling of amino acid can be understood well.

Rational design and performance promotion are eternal topics and ultimate goals in catalyst preparation. In contrast, trial—and—error is still the common method people take. Therefore, it is important to develop methods to intrinsically enhance the performance of catalysts. The most effective solutions are the one from a kinetic perspective based on clear knowledge of the reaction mechanism. This paper describes rate-determining step cognition and modulation to promote CO oxidation on highly dispersed Pt on CeO 2 . The different degrees of metal—support interactions due to variation of hydroxyl density of support could alter the structure of active species and the ability of oxygen activation apparently, further shift the rate-determining step from oxygen activation to oxygen reverse spillover kinetically. The transformation of rate-determining step could enhance the intrinsic activity significantly, and decrease the T 50 approximately 140 °C. The findings of this research exemplify the universal and effective method of performance elevation by rate-determining step modulation, which is promising for application in different systems.

Lead-free relaxor ferroelectric ceramics with high recoverable energy storage density and energy storage efficiency over a broad temperature and frequency range are attractive for pulsed power capacitor applications. In this work, novel barium zirconate titanate-based lead-free relaxor ferroelectric ceramics are designed via introduction of Bi(Zn 0.5 Sn 0.5 )O 3 with heterovalent ion substitution at both A- and B-sites which could disrupt long-range order, induce polar nanoregions (PNRs), and reduce remnant polarization ( P r ). The (1 − x )Ba(Zr 0.15 Ti 0.85 )O 3 – x Bi(Zn 0.5 Sn 0.5 )O 3 ((1 − x )BZT– x BZS) ( x = 0.02, 0.06, 0.10, and 0.14) ceramics were prepared using a conventional solid-state reaction method. In addition, the structure, dielectric, ferroelectric, and energy storage properties of (1 − x )BZT– x BZS ceramics were systematically studied. All (1 − x )BZT– x BZS ceramics exhibited pure perovskite structure. With the increase of BZS content, the relaxor ferroelectric feature of (1 − x )BZT– x BZS ceramics tended to increase gradually, and slim linear P – E loops were obtained in x = 0.10–0.14. A high recoverable energy storage density W rec of 2.16 J/cm 3 and a high energy storage efficiency η of 90.3% were simultaneously achieved in x = 0.10 at 250 kV/cm, together with excellent temperature and frequency stability, which were superior to those of the reported barium zirconate titanate-based ceramics. Our work provides an effective strategy to optimize the energy storage performance of lead-free barium zirconate titanate-based ceramics toward practical applications.

Cigar tobacco residues are a special air-cured tobacco material with increasing production in domestic. In this present study, the effect of glycerol addition on the pyrolysis characteristic, kinetic behavior, and release of pyrolytic products was investigated by using thermogravimetry coupled with online FTIR and self-built infrared tubular furnace. The thermal weight loss process of cigar tobacco could be divided into four stages, and the glycerol exhibited significant impact on the pyrolysis process. The stage II corresponding the decomposition of volatile components and hemicellulose shifted to the lower temperature accompanied with an increase of DTG max and weight loss at this stage. The T i , T f , and residues were decreased, while the CPI was increased as for the CT-G sample, indicating an increased reactivity and comprehensive pyrolysis performance. Gauss peak fitting was used to separate the pyrolysis process of different pseudocomponents in the tobacco biomass. Pyrolysis kinetic analysis based on Coats-Redfern method showed that the activation energy for the decomposition of each pseudocomponents decreased after the addition of glycerol. The online FTIR and MS analysis also reflected the interaction between glycerol and biomass through the release of pyrolytic gaseous products. GC–MS was further used to analyze the compositions of pyrolytic products in the trapped particulate matter under different heating rates. High heating rate was beneficial for the sufficient release of pyrolysis products and aroma compounds. The glycerol addition inhibited the generation of alkaloids, phenols, esters, ketones, acids, and heterocyclic compounds, indicating some effect may exist between cigar tobacco and glycerol.
