Promoting hydrogen-evolution activity and stability of perovskite oxides via effectively lattice doping of molybdenum by Zhang, Zhenbao, Chen, Yubo, Dai, Ziyang, Tan, Shaozao, Chen, Dengjie

“…The promoted HER activity of SCFM0.05 regarding the decreased overpotential, increased catalytic current density, and improved charge transfer kinetics, might originate from the combined effects of distortion of octahedral coordination, low oxygen vacancy/high oxidation state of Co, abundant lattice oxygen and highly oxidative oxygen species, long B–O length, and strong OH− adsorption compared to the un-doped counterpart. …”

Exploring the limitations of osmotically assisted reverse osmosis: membrane fouling and the limiting flux by Peters, Christian D., Li, Dan, Mo, Zijing, Hankins, Nicholas P., She, Qianhong

“…Flux behavior in short-term operation was correlated to both the evolution of fouling and the change of internal concentration polarization. In long-term operation, membrane fouling constrained the OARO water flux to a singular, common upper limit, in terms of limiting flux, which was demonstrated to be independent of operating pressures and membrane properties. …”

A cationic thorium-organic framework with triple single-crystal-to-single-crystal transformation peculiarities for ultrasensitive anion recognition by Li, Zi-Jian, Lei, Min, Bao, Hongliang, Ju, Yu, Lu, Huangjie, Li, Yongxin, Zhang, Zhi-Hui, Guo, Xiaofeng, Qian, Yuan, He, Ming-Yang, Wang, Jian-Qiang, Liu, Wei, Lin, Jian

“…Moreover, the single-crystal-to-single-crystal transition in NaIO3 solution can efficiently and selectively turn the ligand-based emission off, leading to the lowest limit of detection (0.107 μg kg-1) of iodate, one of the primary species of long-lived fission product 129I in aqueous medium, among all luminescent sensors.…”

Identification of a novel mitochondria-localized LKB1 variant required for the regulation of the oxidative stress response by Tan, Ivan, Xu, Shengli, Huo, Jianxin, Huang, Yuhan, Lim, Hong-Hwa, Lam, Kong-Peng

“…We show that this mitochondria-localized LKB1 (mLKB1) is generated from alternative splicing in the 5' region of the transcript and translated from an alternative initiation codon encoded by a previously unknown exon 1b (131 bp) hidden within the long intron 1 of LKB1 gene. We found by replacing the N-terminal NLS of the canonical LKB1 isoform, the N-terminus of the alternatively spliced mLKB1 variant encodes a mitochondrial transit peptide that allows it to localize to the mitochondria. …”
