In this paper, cubic ZnSn(OH) 6 with MXene were firstly in-situ synthesized, and subsequently vulcanized and etched to obtain hollow SnS nanoboxes with MXene coating by carbon layer (referred to as H-SnS/MXene@C). The composition and surface chemical state of H-SnS/MXene@C were characterized by XRD and XPS , respectively. The microscopic morphology of H-SnS/MXene@C was analyzed and characterized in detail by SEM and TEM, and the results show that the hollow SnS nano-boxes formed an effective connection with the MXene nanosheets . When used as LIBs anode, the H-SnS/MXene@C maintained ∼707 mAh/g after 200 cycles at 0.5 A/g current density. As a NIBs anode material, the H-SnS/MXene@C delivered ∼402 mAh/g after 150 cycles at 0.5 A/g current density. In addition, a detail simulation/calculation revealed that H-SnS/MXene@C demonstrated a higher pseudocapacitance (83.2 % for LIBs and 74.4 % for NIBs at a scan rate of 2 mV/s, respectively). The synergistic effect of the highly conductive MXene and the three-dimensional hollow cubic structure could effectively provide an efficient channel for charge transfer and ionic diffusion in H-SnS/MXene@C anode.

This work reports an intramolecular C(sp3)–H annulation of functionalized 2,6-lutidines catalyzed by an organocalcium hydride [{(DIPPnacnac)CaH(thf)}2] (DIPPnacnac = CH{(CMe)(2,6-iPr2–C6H3N)}2). This reaction constitutes a streamlined approach for producing a new family of tetrahydro-1,5-naphthyridines and hexahydropyrido[3,2-b]azocines derivatives in good to excellent yields with high atom efficiency and broad substrates scope. A calcium alkyl complex was isolated from the stoichiometric reaction between calcium hydride and the substrate through deprotonation, which was structurally characterized and confirmed as the catalytic intermediate.

Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is the most common oral malignancy. DEAD/H-box helicase 11 (DDX11), a DNA helicase, has been implicated in the progression of several cancers. Yet, the precise function of DDX11 in OSCC is poorly understood. The DDX11 expression in OSCC cells and normal oral keratinocytes was evaluated in the Gene Expression Omnibus database (GSE146483 and GSE31853). SCC-4 and CAL-27 cells expressing doxycycline-inducible DDX11 or DDX11 shRNA were generated by lentiviral infection. The role of DDX11 in OSCC cells was determined by 3-(4, 5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2, 5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay, colony formation assay, flow cytometry assay, TUNEL staining, and western blot. The effects of DDX11 on tumor growth were explored in a xenograft nude mouse model. The relationship between DDX11 and transcription factor Yin Yang-1 (YY1) was researched using the dual luciferase report assay and chromatin immunoprecipitation assay. DDX11 expression was significantly upregulated in OSCC cells. Knockdown of DDX11 inhibited cell proliferation, induced cell cycle arrest, and suppressed PI3K-AKT pathway, while DDX11 overexpression showed opposite effects. The number of apoptotic cells was increased in DDX11 silenced cells. DDX11 upregulation or knockdown accelerated or suppressed tumor growth in vivo, respectively. Moreover, the YY1 bound and activated the DDX11 promoter, resulting in increasing DDX11 expression. Forced expression DDX11 reversed the anticancer effects of YY1 silencing on OSCC cells. DDX11 has tumor-promoting function in OSCC and is transcriptionally regulated by YY1, indicating that DDX11 may serve as a potential target for the OSCC treatment.

The development of readily accessible high-mobility n-type semiconducting polymers is in great demand for realizing high-performance p-n junction-based organic electronics. In this study, we demonstrate that with the combination of dual-acceptor strategy and C-H direct arylation polymerization (DArP), unipolar n-type semiconducting polymers can be conveniently synthesized. By tuning the monomer concentration, three dual-acceptor polymers, namely, poly(naphthalene diimide- alt -dithiophenyl pyrrolopyrrole-dione) (PNDI-DPP), poly(naphthalene diimide- alt -dithiophenyl isoindigo) (PNDI-IID), and poly (naphthalene diimide- alt -dithiophenyl bezothiadiazole) (PNDI-BT) can be obtained via C-H activation with decent number average molecular weight of ∼10 to 30 kg mol −1 and relatively narrow polydispersity index of ∼2. In addition, these polymers are defect-free in nature as evidenced by the nuclear magnetic resonance. Moreover, we attribute the different molar masses of the three copolymers under the same DArP condition to the different α-C-H acidity, which may stem from different electron-withdrawing capability of the hydrogenated acceptor units. Furthermore, the influence of the hydrogenated acceptor monomers on the optical, electrochemical and charge transporting properties is comprehensively studied. Among the three dual-acceptor polymers, PNDI-BT demonstrates the highest electron mobilities of up to 0.6 cm 2 V −1 s −1 in unipolar n-type organic transistors because of its relatively planar backbone, larger overlaps of the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital and strong H-aggregation. Note that the transistor performance of PNDI-BT synthesized via C-H activation in this study is at least comparable to the one made by conventional C(sp 2 )-C(sp 2 ) Stille or Suzuki cross-coupling polymerization. This study demonstrates the presented protocol can be a useful platform for sustainable and convenient synthesis of high-performance n-type semiconducting polymers.

A highly selective, green and sustainable chlorination of aliphatic C–H bonds is reported using MCln under the co-catalysis of visible light and nano-Cu@CuCl, which was synthesised via a one-step, hydrothermal strategy using copper(II) sulfate and D-glucose as the reducing agent in a KCl solution. A novel cascade method of producing Cl2 occurs in situ chlorinating C(sp3)–Hs, achieved through nano-Cu@CuCl catalysis using inorganic chloride MCln as a chlorine source under visible light and without the need for a strong oxidant. The reaction was applied to the chlorination of different alkylarene α-Hs and cyclic hydrocarbons C–HS and was developed for use in a photocatalytic serial reactor system which accomplished the chlorination of toluene α-Hs to give 92% conversion, 90% yield and 98% selectivity. Electron spin resonance (ESR) studies of DMPO-Cl. revealed that the reaction mechanism belonged to a free radical process.

For preparing finer and well-dispersed calcium-silicate-hydrate (C-S-H) seeds at a lower cost, the waste solution of acid treatment of recycled concrete aggregates (RCAs) and black liquor from pulping were used for the synthesis of C-S-H seeds. The results show that C-S-H seeds can be successfully fabricated by chemical co-precipitation reaction using the two waste solutions. Interestingly, it was globular rather than traditional foil-like. Furthermore, C-S-H seeds synthesized using the two waste solutions had smaller particle size and better dispersibility. More importantly, it had a more prominent accelerating effect to the strength development of mortar, significantly enhancing the early and long-term compressive strength of mortar.

A palladium-catalyzed cyclobutanation of aryl sulfonates with strained alkenes has been developed. The methodology is featured to achieve the cleavage of both C–O and C–H bonds of phenol derivatives in one pot. Under the reaction conditions, in addition to reactive triflates, the relatively inactive tosylates and mesylates can also be transformed into the corresponding benzocyclobutanes in high yields. This reaction can be carried out in gram-scale experiments with a low loading of the palladium catalyst and is applicable to the cyclobutanative modification of bioactive molecules, highlighting its synthetic value in organic synthesis.

Persistent H. pylori infection triggers the repair program of the mucosa, such as spasmolytic polypeptide-expressing metaplasia (SPEM). However, the mechanism underlying the initiation of SPEM in gastric tissues by H. pylori remains unclear. Here, an increase in telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) protein expression is observed in chief cells upon infection with cagA -positive H. pylori . Tert knockout significantly ameliorated H. pylori -induced SPEM and single-cell RNA sequencing demonstrated that the Wnt/β-Catenin pathway is suppressed in gastric cells with Tert knockout. Mechanism study revealed that CagA elevated TERT abundance by disrupting the interaction between TERT and its novel E3 ligase, SYVN1. Interestingly, Nitazoxanide effectively relieved SPEM via inhibition of the Wnt/β-Catenin signaling in vivo. This results clarified the mechanism underlying which CagA activated the TERT/Wnt/β-Catenin pathway, thus promoting the dedifferentiation of chief cells and the occurrence of SPEM in gastric mucosa. This highlights a molecular basis for targeting CagA-activated Wnt signaling in chief cells for the treatment of gastric precancerous lesions.

Developing insertion-type anode is key to advancing “rocking chair” zinc-ion batteries, though there are few reported insertion-type anodes. Herein, the Bi 2 O 2 CO 3 is a high-potential anode, with a special layered structure. A one-step hydrothermal method was used to prepare Ni-doped Bi 2 O 2 CO 3 nanosheet , and also a free-standing electrode consisting of Ni-Bi 2 O 2 CO 3 and CNTs was designed. Both cross-linked CNTs conductive networks and Ni doping improve charge transfer. Ex situ tests (XRD, XPS, TEM, etc.) reveal the H + /Zn 2+ co-insertion mechanism of Bi 2 O 2 CO 3 and that Ni doping improves its electrochemical reversibility and structural stability. Therefore, this optimized electrode offers a high specific capacity of 159 mAh g −1 at 100 mA g −1 , a suitable average discharge voltage of ≈0.400 V, and a long-term cycling stability of 2200 cycles at 700 mA g −1 . Besides, the Ni-Bi 2 O 2 CO 3 //MnO 2 “rocking chair” zinc-ion battery (based on the total mass of cathode and anode) delivers a high capacity of ≈100 mAh g −1 at 50.0 mA g −1 . This work provides a reference for designing high-performance anode in zinc-ion batteries.

Recently, photoassisted charging has been demonstrated as a green and sustainable approach to successfully enhance the capacitance of supercapacitors with low cost and good efficiency. However, their light-induced capacitance enhancement is relatively low and is lost quickly when the illumination is off. In this work, a novel active material system is developed for supercapacitors with the photoassisted charging capability by the decoration of a small amount of Bi2WO6 nanoparticles on an h-WO3 submicron rod surface in situ, which forms a typical type II band alignment heterostructure with a close contact interface through the co-sharing of W atoms between h-WO3 submicron rods and Bi2WO6 nanoparticles. The photogenerated charge carrier separation and transfer are largely enhanced in the h-WO3/Bi2WO6 submicron rod electrode, which subsequently allows more charge carriers to participate in its photoassisted charging process to largely enhance its capacitance improvement under simulated solar illumination than that of the h-WO3 submicron rod electrode. Furthermore, the h-WO3/Bi2WO6 submicron rod electrode could retain its photoinduced capacitance enhancement in the dark for an extended period of time from the photocatalytic memory effect. Thus, our work provides a solution to the two major drawbacks of reported supercapacitors with the light-induced capacitance enhancement property, and supercapacitors based on active materials with the photocatalytic memory effect could be utilized in various technical fields.

A series of nitrogen-rich heterocyclic 1H,1′H-5,5′-bistetrazole-1,1′-diolate salts, namely, 1,2,4-triazolium (2), 3-amino-1,2,4-triazolium (3), 4-amino-1,2,4-triazolium (4), 3,5-diamino-1,2,4-triazolium (5), 2-methylimidazolium (6), imidazolium (7), pyrazolium (8), 3-amino-5-hydroxypyrazolium (9), dicyandiamidine (10), and 2,4-diamino-6-methyl-1,3,5-triazin (11), was synthesized with cations. These energetic salts were fully characterized through FT-IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and elemental analysis. The structures of 2, 3·7H2O, 6·2H2O, 8, and 10·4H2O were further confirmed through single crystal X-ray diffraction. Their thermal stabilities were investigated through differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The results indicated that all of the salts possess excellent thermal stabilities with decomposition temperatures ranging from 225.7 °C to 314.0 °C. On the basis of the Kamlet–Jacobs formula, we carefully calculated their detonation velocities and detonation pressures. All of the salts, except 11, exhibit promising detonation performances with a detonation pressure of 20.23–28.69 GPa and a detonation velocity of 7050–8218 m s−1. These values are much higher than those of TNT. The impact sensitivities of the compounds were determined via a Fall hammer test. All of the compounds show excellent impact sensitivities of >50 J, and this finding is higher than that of TATB (50 J). Therefore, these ionic salts with excellent energetic properties could be applied as new energetic materials.

CH 3 SH is a potential hazard to both chemical production and human health, so controlling its emissions is an urgent priority. In this work, a series of transition metal-loaded H-ZSM-5 adsorbents (Si/Al = 25) (Cu, Fe, Co, Ni, Mn, and Zn) were synthesized through the wet impregnation method and tested for CH 3 SH physicochemical adsorption at 60 °C. It was shown that the Cu-modified H-ZSM-5 adsorbent was much more active for CH 3 SH removal due to its abundant strong acid sites than other transition metal-modified H-ZSM-5 adsorbents. The detailed physicochemical properties of various modified H-ZSM-5 adsorbents were characterized by SEM, XRD, N 2 physisorption, XPS, H 2 -TPR, and NH 3 -TPD. The effects of metal loading mass ratio, calcination temperature, and acid or alkali modification on the performance of the adsorbent were also investigated, and finally 20% Cu/ZSM-5 was found to have the best adsorption capacity after calcined at 350 °C. Additionally, the Cu/ZSM-5 adsorbent modified by sodium bicarbonate could expose more active components, which improved the adsorbent’s stability. However, the consumption and reduction of the active component Cu 2+ and the accumulation of sulfate during the adsorption process are the main reasons for the deactivation of the adsorbent. In addition, the simultaneous purging of N 2 + O 2 can effectively restore the adsorption capacity of the deactivated adsorbent and can be used as a potential strategy to regenerate the adsorbent.
