- Abstract
Inorganic solid‐state electrolytes (SSEs) play a vital role in high‐energy all‐solid‐state batteries (ASSBs). However, the current method of SSE preparation usually involves high‐energy mechanical ball milling and/or a high‐temperature annealing process, which is not suitable for practical application. Here, a facile strategy is developed to realize the scalable synthesis of cost‐effective aluminum‐based oxyhalide SSEs, which involves a self‐propagating method by the exothermic reaction of the raw materials. This strategy enables the synthesis of various aluminum‐based oxyhalide SSEs with tunable components and high ionic conductivities (over 10−3 S cm−1 at 25 °C) for different cations (Li+, Na+, Ag+). It is elucidated that the amorphous matrix, which mainly consists of various oxidized chloroaluminate species that provide numerous sites for smooth ion migration, is actually the key factor for the achieved high conductivities. Benefit from their easy synthesis, low cost, and low weight, the aluminum‐based oxyhalide SSEs synthesized by our approach could further promote practical application of high‐energy‐density ASSBs.

A microenvironment engineering strategy has been developed to switch the CO2 electroreduction reaction (CO2RR) selectivity from methane (CH4) to ethylene (C2H4) by adjusting the coordination microstructures of trinuclear copper cluster‐based metal‐covalent organic framework (MCOF). When Cu sites are oriented to channels in Cu‐PyCA‐MCOF, methane is the main product. Conversely, when trinuclear copper sites are coordinated with OH− and H2O molecules in Cu‐PyCAOH‐MCOF nanosheets, the main product switches from CH4 to C2H4 with 50.5% selectivity and 200.2 mA cm− partial current density at −1.2 V (vs RHE). This happens because CO2 molecules can only contact active sites perpendicular to the trinuclear copper cluster plane in Cu‐PyCAOH‐MCOF nanosheets, where the Cu─Cu distance between them is 3.2 Å, favoring the efficient conversion of CO2 to C2H4 through the C─C coupling reaction. Operando infrared spectroscopy, in situ X‐ray absorption near‐edge structure spectra, and DFT calculations reveal that changing the coordination environments of MCOFs significantly stabilizes key intermediates and reduces the energies of the CO2RR. This work offers an effective strategy for enhancing CO2RR performance toward C2H4 products by tuning the microenvironments of copper‐based electrocatalysts. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Bipolar organics fuse the merits of n/p‐type redox reactions for better Zn‐organic batteries (ZOBs), but face the capacity plafond due to low density of active units and single‐electron reactions. Here we report multielectron redox‐bipolar tetranitroporphyrin (TNP) with quadruple two‐electron‐accepting n‐type nitro motifs and dual‐electron‐donating p‐type amine moieties towards high‐capacity‐voltage ZOBs. TNP cathode initiates high‐kinetics, hybrid anion–cation 10e− charge storage involving four nitro sites coordinating with Zn2+ ions at low potential and two amine species coupling with SO42− ions at high potential. Consequently, Zn||TNP battery harvests high capacity (338 mAh g−1), boosted average voltage (1.08 V), and outstanding energy density (365 Wh kg−1TNP). Moreover, the extended π‐conjugated TNP macrocycle achieves anti‐dissolution in electrolytes, prolonging the battery life to 50,000 cycles at 10 A g−1 with 71.6 % capacity retention. This work expands the chemical landscape of multielectron redox‐bipolar organics for state‐of‐the‐art ZOBs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Herein, we propose an oxygen‐containing species coordination strategy to boost CO2 electroreduction in the presence of O2. A two‐dimensional (2D) conjugated metal‐covalent organic framework (MCOF), denoted as NiPc‐Salen(Co)2‐COF that is composed of the Ni‐phthalocyanine (NiPc) unit with well‐defined Ni−N4−O sites and the salen(Co)2 moiety with binuclear Co−N2O2 sites, is developed and synthesized for enhancing the CO2RR under aerobic condition. In the presence of O2, one of the Co sites in the NiPc‐Salen(Co)2‐COF that coordinated with the intermediate of *OOH from ORR could decrease the energy barrier of the activation of CO2 molecules and stabilize the key intermediate *COOH of the CO2RR over the adjacent Co center. Besides, the oxygen species axially coordinated Ni−N4−O sites can favor in reducing the energy barrier of the intermediate *COOH formation for the CO2RR. Thus, NiPc‐Salen(Co)2‐COF exhibits high oxygen‐tolerant CO2RR performance and achieves outstanding CO Faradaic efficiency (FECO) of 97.2 % at −1.0 V vs. the reversible hydrogen electrode (RHE) and a high CO partial current density of 40.3 mA cm−2 at −1.1 V in the presence of 0.5 % O2, which is superior to that in pure CO2 feed gas (FECO=94.8 %, jCO=19.9 mA cm−2). Notably, the NiPc‐Salen(Co)2‐COF achieves an industrial‐level current density of 128.3 mA cm−2 in the flow‐cell reactor with 0.5 % O2 at −0.8 V, which is higher than that in pure CO2 atmosphere (jCO=104.8 mA cm−2). It is worth noting that an excellent FECO of 86.8 % is still achieved in the presence of 5 % O2 at −1.0 V. This work provides an effective strategy to enable the CO2RR under O2 atmosphere by utilizing the *OOH intermediates of ORR to boost CO2 electroreduction. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Glassy Na‐ion solid‐state electrolytes (GNSSEs) are an important group of amorphous SSEs. However, the insufficient ionic conductivity of state‐of‐the‐art GNSSEs at room temperature lessens their promise in the development of all‐solid‐state Na‐ion batteries (ASSNIBs) with high energy density and improved safety. Here we report the discovery of a new sodium superionic glass, 0.5Na2O2‐TaCl5 (NTOC), based on dual‐anion sublattice of oxychlorides. The unique local structures with abundant bridging and non‐bridging oxygen atoms contributes to a highly disordered Na‐ion distribution as well as low Na+ migration barrier within NTOC, enabling an ultrahigh ionic conductivity of 4.62 mS cm−1 at 25 °C (more than 20 times higher than those of previously reported GNSSEs). Moreover, the excellent formability of glassy NTOC electrolyte and its high electrochemical oxidative stability ensure a favourable electrolyte‐electrode interface, contributing to superior cycling stability of ASSNIBs for over 500 cycles at room temperature. The discovery of glassy NTOC electrolyte would reignite research enthusiasm in superionic glassy SSEs based on multi‐anion chemistry. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Many studies in metal‐organic frameworks (MOFs) aiming for high photocatalytic activity resort to self‐assembling both energy donor and acceptor building units in skeleton to achieve effective energy transfer, which, however, usually needs tedious synthetic procedure and design of a new MOF. In this work, we demonstrated that building a Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) pathway can be realized through suitable molecular doping in a given MOF structure without altering the original porous structure, presenting an alternative strategy to design efficient photocatalysts for CO2 reduction. In situ electron spin resonance, ultrafast transient absorption spectroscopy, and computational studies reveal that the FRET‐induced excitation has dramatically altered the exciton transfer pathway in structure and facilitated electron‐hole separation. As a result, the molecular doped MOFs synthesized through one‐pot reaction show outstanding selectivity (96%) and activity (1314 μmol·g−1·h−1) for CO production versus almost no activity for the pristine MOFs, and this result stands out from existing competitors. Furthermore, the reaction mechanism was proposed and the intermediate signals were detected by in situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopies. This study presents a clear picture of building FRET process in MOFs through molecular doping and provides a new design strategy for MOF‐based photocatalysts. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

MASS transfer ,CATALYSIS ,REACTIVE oxygen species - Abstract
Optoelectronic attributes notwithstanding donor-acceptor covalent organic frameworks (D-A COFs) are not durable photocatalysts in many cases. Herein, a stabilization strategy of D-A COFs by intramolecular hydrogen (H)-bonds and a membrane-based mass transfer strategy for photocatalytic modulation are reported. The crystalline stability design of COF is cored at the strong M-M interactions and the H-bonds of adjacent tetrakis(4-formylphenyl)pyrene and naphthalenediimide units and the D-A charge transfer is designed for efficiency optimization. The well-defined, stable structure and charge dynamics of D-A COF, and the structure-controlled reactive oxygen species yields are confirmed. In two photoredox models, the COF presents both robust activity and stability and is further integrated with the mass transfer optimization of the COFs/polyvinylidene fluoride membrane. The membrane is recycled at least 15 times, and the turnover frequency value of g-scale amine coupling is as high as 62.4 h

Two‐dimensional (2D) imine‐based covalent organic frameworks (COFs) hold potential for photocatalytic CO2 reduction. However, high energy barrier of imine linkage impede the in‐plane photoelectron transfer process, resulting in inadequate efficiency of CO2 photoreduction. Herein, we present a dimensionality induced local electronic modulation strategy through the construction of one‐dimensional (1D) pyrene‐based covalent organic frameworks (PyTTA‐COF). The dual‐chain‐like edge architectures of 1D PyTTA‐COF enable the stabilization of aromatic backbones, thus reducing energy loss during exciton dissociation and thermal relaxation, which provides energetic photoelectron to traverse the energy barrier of imine linkages. As a result, the 1D PyTTA‐COF exhibits significantly enhanced CO2 photoreduction activity under visible‐light irradiation when coordinated with metal cobalt ion, yielding a remarkable CO evolution of 1003 μmol g−1 over an 8‐hour period, which surpasses that of the corresponding 2D counterpart by a factor of 59. These findings present a valuable approach to address in‐plane charge transfer limitations in imine‐based COFs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs) are chronic inflammatory diseases of the gastrointestinal tract that have become a global health burden. Studies have revealed that Latilactobacillus sakei can effectively alleviate various immune diseases, including colitis, rheumatoid arthritis, and metabolic disorders. Here, we obtained 72 strains of L. sakei from 120 fermentation and fecal samples across China. In total, 16 strains from different sources were initially screened in an in vitro Caco‐2 model induced by dextran sulfate sodium. Subsequently, six strains (four exhibiting effectiveness and two exhibiting ineffectiveness) were selected for further validation in an in vivo colitis mouse model. The results demonstrated that L. sakei strains exhibited varying degrees of amelioration of the colitis disease process. Notably, L. sakei CCFM1267, the most effective strain, significantly restored colon length and tight‐junction protein expression, and reduced the levels of cytokines and associated inflammatory enzymes. Moreover, L. sakei CCFM1267 upregulated the abundance of Enterorhabdus, Alloprevotella, and Roseburia, leading to increased levels of acetic acid and propionic acid. Conversely, the other four strains (L. sakei QJSSZ1L4, QJSSZ4L10, QGZZYRHMT1L6, and QGZZYRHMT2L6) only exhibited a partial remission effect, while L. sakei QJSNT1L10 displayed minimal impact. Therefore, L. sakei CCFM1267 and QJSNT1L10 were selected for further exploration of the mechanisms underlying their differential mitigating effects. Comparative genomics analysis revealed significant variations between the two strains, particularly in genes associated with carbohydrate‐active enzymes, such as the glycoside hydrolase family, which potentially contribute to the diverse profiles of short‐chain fatty acids in vivo. Additionally, metabolome analysis demonstrated that acetylcholine and indole‐3‐acetic acid were the main differentiating metabolites of the two strains. Therefore, the strains of L. sakei exhibited varying degrees of effectiveness in alleviating IBD‐related symptoms, and the possible reasons for these variations were attributed to discrepancies in the carbohydrate‐active enzymes and metabolites among the strains. Highlights: Intraspecific variations of Latilactobacillus sakei have been observed in their impacts on inflammatory bowel disease in both in vitro and in vivo models.Differences in the carbohydrate‐active enzymes of L. sakei may exert an indirect influence on the gut microbiota, consequently exerting a more pronounced effect on the short‐chain fatty acids, leading to variations in the degree of remission.On the basis of the metabolomic profile of L. sakei strains, it was found that acetylcholine and indole‐3‐acetic acid were tentatively identified as key substances that may contribute to the variations in their therapeutic efficacy.

We propose an effective highest occupied d‐orbital modulation strategy engendered by breaking the coordination symmetry of sites in the atomically precise Cu nanocluster (NC) to switch the product of CO2 electroreduction from HCOOH/CO to higher‐valued hydrocarbons. An atomically well‐defined Cu6 NC with symmetry‐broken Cu−S2N1 active sites (named Cu6(MBD)6, MBD=2‐mercaptobenzimidazole) was designed and synthesized by a judicious choice of ligand containing both S and N coordination atoms. Different from the previously reported high HCOOH selectivity of Cu NCs with Cu−S3 sites, the Cu6(MBD)6 with Cu−S2N1 coordination structure shows a high Faradaic efficiency toward hydrocarbons of 65.5 % at −1.4 V versus the reversible hydrogen electrode (including 42.5 % CH4 and 23 % C2H4), with the hydrocarbons partial current density of −183.4 mA cm−2. Theoretical calculations reveal that the symmetry‐broken Cu−S2N1 sites can rearrange the Cu 3d orbitals with dx2-y2 ${d_{x^2 - y^2 } }$ as the highest occupied d‐orbital, thus favoring the generation of key intermediate *COOH instead of *OCHO to favor *CO formation, followed by hydrogenation and/or C−C coupling to produce hydrocarbons. This is the first attempt to regulate the coordination mode of Cu atom in Cu NCs for hydrocarbons generation, and provides new inspiration for designing atomically precise NCs for efficient CO2RR towards highly‐valued products.

Introduction: FIGO 2018 IIIC remains controversial for the heterogeneity of its prognoses. To ensure a better management of cervical cancer patients in Stage IIIC, a revision of the FIGO IIIC version classification is required according to local tumor size. Material and methods: We retrospectively enrolled cervical cancer patients of FIGO 2018 Stages I–IIIC who had undergone radical surgery or chemoradiotherapy. Based on the tumor factors from the Tumor Node Metastasis staging system, IIIC cases were divided into IIIC‐T1, IIIC‐T2a, IIIC‐T2b, and IIIC‐(T3a+T3b). Oncologcial outcomes of all stages were compared. Results: A total of 63 926 cervical cancer cases were identified, among which 9452 fulfilled the inclusion criteria and were included in this study. Kaplan–Meier pairwise analysis showed that: the oncology outcomes of I and IIA were significantly better than of IIB, IIIA+IIIB, and IIIC; the oncology outcome of IIIC‐(T1‐T2b) was significantly better than of IIIA+IIIB and IIIC‐(T3a+T3b); no significant difference was noted between IIB and IIIC‐(T1‐T2b), or IIIC‐(T3a+T3b) and IIIA+IIIB. Multivariate analysis indicated that, compared with IIIC‐T1, Stages T2a, T2b, IIIA+IIIB and IIIC‐(T3a+T3b) were associated with a higher risk of death and recurrence/death. There was no significant difference in the risk of death or recurrence/death between patients with IIIC‐(T1‐T2b) and IIB. Also, compared with IIB, IIIC‐(T3a+T3b) was associated with a higher risk of death and recurrence/death. No significant differences in the risk of death and recurrence/death were noted between IIIC‐(T3a+T3b) and IIIA+IIIB. Conclusions: In terms of oncology outcomes of the study, FIGO 2018 Stage IIIC of cervical cancer is unreasonable. Stages IIIC‐T1, T2a, and T2b may be integrated as IIC, and it might be unnecessary for T3a/T3b cases to be subdivided by lymph node status. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Conventional lithium‐ion batteries (LIBs) with liquid electrolytes are challenged by their big safety concerns, particularly used in electric vehicles. All‐solid‐state batteries using solid‐state electrolytes have been proposed to significantly improve safety yet are impeded by poor interfacial solid–solid contact and fast interface degradation. As a compromising strategy, in situ solidification has been proposed in recent years to fabricate quasi‐solid‐state batteries, which have great advantages in constructing intimate interfaces and cost‐effective mass manufacturing. In this work, quasi‐solid‐state pouch cells with high loading electrodes (≥3 mAh cm−2) were fabricated via in situ solidification of poly(ethylene glycol)diacrylate‐based polymer electrolytes (PEGDA‐PEs). Both single‐layer and multilayer quasi‐solid‐state pouch cells (2.0 Ah) have demonstrated stable electrochemical performance over 500 cycles. The superb electrochemical stability is closely related to the formation of robust and compatible interphase, which successfully inhibits interfacial side reactions and prevents interfacial structural degradation. This work demonstrates that in situ solidification is a facile and cost‐effective approach to fabricate quasi‐solid‐state pouch cells with both excellent electrochemical performance and safety.

Constructing a 3D lithium metal anode has been demonstrated to be the most effective strategy to address its dendrite issue in liquid batteries. However, this promising approach has proved challenging to inherit in all‐solid‐state Li metal batteries (ASSLMBs) because of the rigidity of inorganic solid electrolytes (SEs), which constrains interfacial solid–solid ionic contact. Herein, a 3D Li anode is in situ constructed for ASSLMBs by spontaneous chemical reactions between halide SEs and Li metal. The in situ formed Li–Al alloys and well‐maintained sulfide SEs inside the 3D structure serve as continuous electron and Li+ transport pathways and facilitate the homogenous distribution of charge carriers. The lithiophilic Li alloy can regulate Li deposition behavior and enable uniform Li nucleation and deposition. Both the Li||Li symmetric and full batteries exhibit good electrochemical performance at high current density. This work provides a universal strategy and new insight perspective to construct 3D Li for high‐performance ASSLMBs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Insertion‐type compounds based on oxides and sulfides have been widely identified and well‐studied as cathode materials in lithium‐ion batteries. However, halides have rarely been used due to their high solubility in organic liquid electrolytes. Here, we reveal the insertion electrochemistry of VX3 (X=Cl, Br, I) by introducing a compatible halide solid‐state electrolyte with a wide electrochemical stability window. X‐ray absorption near‐edge structure analyses reveal a two‐step lithiation process and the structural transition of typical VCl3. Fast Li+ insertion/extraction in the layered VX3 active materials and favorable interface guaranteed by the compatible electrode‐electrolyte design enables high rate capability and stable operation of all‐solid‐state Li‐VX3 batteries. The findings from this study will contribute to developing intercalation insertion electrochemistry of halide materials and exploring novel electrode materials in viable energy storage systems.

Sulfide electrolytes with high ionic conductivities are one of the most highly sought for all‐solid‐state lithium batteries (ASSLBs). However, the non‐negligible electronic conductivities of sulfide electrolytes (≈10−8 S cm−1) lead to electron smooth transport through the sulfide electrolyte pellets, resulting in Li dendrite directly depositing at the grain boundaries (GBs) and serious self‐discharge. Here, a grain‐boundary electronic insulation (GBEI) strategy is proposed to block electron transport across the GBs, enabling Li−Li symmetric cells with 30 times longer cycling life and Li−LiCoO2 full cells with three times lower self‐discharging rate than pristine sulfide electrolytes. The Li−LiCoO2 ASSLBs deliver high capacity retention of 80 % at 650 cycles and stable cycling performance for over 2600 cycles at 0.5 mA cm−2. The innovation of the GBEI strategy provides a new direction to pursue high‐performance ASSLBs via tailoring the electronic conductivity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Calsequestrin 1 (CASQ1) is the most crucial Ca2+ binding protein localized in the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) of skeletal muscle. With high capacity and low affinity for Ca2+, CASQ1 plays a significant role in maintaining a large amount of Ca2+ necessary for muscle contraction. However, only five mutations in CASQ1 have been identified to date. Here, we report a 42‐year‐old Chinese female patient who presented with a 12 years history of slowly progressive upper limb weakness, predominantly affecting distal muscles, which was uncommon comparing to other CASQ1‐related patients. Next‐generation sequencing (NGS) analysis revealed a novel heterozygous mutation (c.766G > A, p.Val256Met) in CASQ1. Functional studies confirmed the likely pathogenicity of this variant. Muscle histopathology revealed rare optically empty vacuoles in myofibers and atypical eosinophilic granules in the cytoplasm, which has not been observed before. We also performed a literature review on all the pathogenic mutations in CASQ1 and summarized their genetic and clinical characteristics. This is the first report on CASQ1‐related myopathy from China, further expanding the mutation spectrum of CASQ1 gene and provides new insights into the function of CASQ1. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Free N‐heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) are generally prepared by treatment of imidazolium precursors with strong alkali reagents, which usually produces inactive NHC dimers. This treatment would destroy porous supports and thus make supported NHC catalysts difficult to recovery and reuse. Herein, we report the first stable CO2‐masked N‐heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) grafted on a porous crystalline covalent organic framework (COF). The stable NHC‐CO2 moieties in the COF‐NHC‐CO2 could be transformed in situ into isolated NHCs by heating, which exhibit superior catalytic performances in hydrosilylation and N‐formylation reactions with CO2. The NHC sites can reversibly form NHC‐CO2 and thus can be easily recycled and reused while maintaining excellent catalytic activity. Density functional theory calculations revealed that NHC sites can be fully exposed after removal of CO2‐masks and rapidly react with silanes, which endows COF‐NHC with high catalytic activity.

Highly active and stable cathodes are critical for aqueous Zn–organic batteries with high capacity, fast redox kinetics, and long life. We herein report para‐, meta‐, and ortho‐dinitrobenzene (p‐, m‐, and o‐DB) containing two successive two‐electron processes, as cathode materials to boost the battery performance. Theoretical and experimental studies reveal that nitro constitutional isomerism is key to zincophilic activity and redox kinetics. p‐DB hosted in carbon nanoflower harvests a high capacity of 402 mAh g−1 and a superior stability up to 25 000 cycles at 5 A g−1, giving a Zn–organic battery with a high energy density of 230 Wh kg−1. An anionic co‐insertion charge storage mechanism is proposed, entailing a two‐step (de)coordination of Zn(CF3SO3)+ with nitro oxygen. Besides, dinitrobenzene can be electrochemically optimized by side group regulation via implanting electron‐withdrawing motifs. This work opens a new window to design multielectron nitroaromatics for Zn–organic batteries. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Congenital myasthenic syndrome (CMS) encompasses a heterogeneous group of inherited disorders affecting nerve transmission across the neuromuscular junction. The aim of this study was to characterize the clinical, physiological, pathohistological and genetic features of nine unrelated Chinese patients with CMS from a single neuromuscular centre. A total of nine patients aged from neonates to 34 years were enrolled who exhibited initial symptoms. Physical examinations revealed that all patients exhibited muscle weakness. Muscle biopsies demonstrated multiple myopathological changes, including increased fibre size variation, myofibrillar network disarray, necrosis, myofiber grouping, regeneration, fibre atrophy and angular fibres. Genetic testing revealed six different mutated genes, including AGRN (2/9), CHRNE (1/9), GFPT1 (1/9), GMPPB (1/9), PLEC (3/9) and SCN4A (1/9). In addition, patients exhibited differential responses to pharmacological treatment. Prompt utilization of genetic testing will identify novel variants and expand our understanding of the phenotype of this rare syndrome. Our findings contribute to the clinical, pathohistological and genetic spectrum of congenital myasthenic syndrome in China. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Rational synthesis of hydrogen‐bonded organic frameworks (HOFs) with predicted structure has been a long‐term challenge. Herein, by using the efficient, simple, low‐cost, and scalable mechanosynthesis, we demonstrate that reticular chemistry is applicable to HOF assemblies based on building blocks with different geometry, connectivity, and functionality. The obtained crystalline HOFs show uniform nano‐sized morphology, which is challenging or unachievable for conventional solution‐based methods. Furthermore, the one‐pot mechanosynthesis generated a series of Pd@HOF composites with noticeably different CO oxidation activities. In situ DRIFTS studies indicate that the most efficient composite, counterintuitively, shows the weakest CO affinity to Pd sites while the strongest CO affinity to HOF matrix, revealing the vital role of porous matrix to the catalytic performance. This work paves a new avenue for rational synthesis of HOF and HOF‐based composites for broad application potential. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Under topological guidance, the self‐assembly process based on a tetratopic porphyrin synthon results in a hydrogen‐bonded organic framework (HOF) with the predicted square layers topology (sql) but unsatisfied stability. Strikingly, simply introducing a transition metal in the porphyrin center does not change the network topology but drastically causes noticeable change on noncovalent interaction, orbital overlap, and molecular geometry, therefore ultimately giving rise to a series of metalloporphyrinic HOFs with high surface area, and excellent stability (intact after being soaked in boiling water, concentrated HCl, and heated to 270 °C). On integrating both photosensitizers and catalytic sites into robust backbones, this series of HOFs can effectively catalyze the photoreduction of CO2 to CO, and their catalytic performances greatly depend on the chelated metal species in the porphyrin centers. This work enriches the library of stable functional HOFs and expands their applications in photocatalytic CO2 reduction. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Herein, an effective tandem catalysis strategy is developed to improve the selectivity of the CO2RR towards C2H4 by multiple distinct catalytic sites in local vicinity. An earth‐abundant elements‐based tandem electrocatalyst PTF(Ni)/Cu is constructed by uniformly dispersing Cu nanoparticles (NPs) on the porphyrinic triazine framework anchored with atomically isolated nickel–nitrogen sites (PTF(Ni)) for the enhanced CO2RR to produce C2H4. The Faradaic efficiency of C2H4 reaches 57.3 % at −1.1 V versus the reversible hydrogen electrode (RHE), which is about 6 times higher than the non‐tandem catalyst PTF/Cu, which produces CH4 as the major carbon product. The operando infrared spectroscopy and theoretic density functional theory (DFT) calculations reveal that the local high concentration of CO generated by PTF(Ni) sites can facilitate the C−C coupling to form C2H4 on the nearby Cu NP sites. The work offers an effective avenue to design electrocatalysts for the highly selective CO2RR to produce multicarbon products via a tandem route. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

GNE myopathy is a heterogeneous group of ultrarare neuromuscular disorders caused by mutations in the GNE gene. An estimated prevalence of 1~21/1,000,000 leads to a deficiency of data and a lack of availability of samples to conduct clinical research on this neuromuscular disorder. Although GNE, which is the mutated gene responsible for the disease, is well known as the key enzyme in the biosynthesis pathway of sialic acid, the clinicopathological‐genetic spectrum of GNE mutant patients is still unclear and expanding. This study presents ten unrelated patients with GNE myopathy, discovering five novel missense mutations. Clinical, electrophysiological, imaging, pathological and genetic data are presented in a retrospective manner. Interestingly, several patients in the cohort were found to have peripheral neuropathy and inflammatory cell infiltration in muscle biopsies, which have seldom been reported. This study, conducted by a neuromuscular centre in China, is the first attempt to highlight these abnormal clinicopathological features and associate them with genetic mutations in GNE myopathy.

Titin, one of the largest proteins in humans, is a major component of muscle sarcomeres. Pathogenic variants in the titin gene (TTN) have been reported to cause a range of skeletal muscle diseases, collectively known as titinopathy. Titinopathy is a heterogeneous group of disabling diseases characterized by muscle weakness. In our study, we aimed to establish the clinicopathological‐genetic spectrum of titinopathy from a single neuromuscular center. Three patients were diagnosed as having definite titinopathy, and additional three patients were diagnosed as having possible titinopathy according to the diagnostic criteria. All the patients showed initial symptoms from age one to 40 years. Physical examination revealed that five patients had muscle weakness, and that one patient experienced behavioral changes. Muscle biopsy specimens obtained from all six patients demonstrated multiple myopathological changes, including increased fiber size variation, muscle fiber hypertrophy or atrophy, formation of centralized cell nuclei, necklace cytoplasmic bodies, and formation of rimmed vacuoles and cores. Genetic testing revealed 11 different TTN alterations, including missense (6/11), nonsense (2/11), frameshift (2/11), and splicing (1/11) mutations. Our study provides further evidence that TTN mutations are more likely to be responsible for an increasing proportion of various myopathies, such as hereditary myopathy with early respiratory failure (HMERF), core myopathy, and distal myopathy with rimmed vacuoles, than currently recognized mutations. Our findings expand the clinical, pathohistological and genetic spectrum of titinopathy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Spring viraemia of carp (SVC) caused by spring viraemia of carp virus (SVCV) can infect almost all fish of cyprinids, which bring huge economic losses to aquaculture. Glycoprotein (G), as the most important antigenic determinant protein of SVCV, is widely considered as an effective method against SVCV. In our previous study, we found that G3 (131 aa) is the potential dominant antigen epitope that induces strong immune responses similar to G protein (510 aa). Here, in order to further improve the immune effect, we reported a subunit vaccine (PEG‐G3) constructed by PEG‐modified dominant epitope protein (G3). The results of serum antibody production, enzyme activities and immune‐related genes expression showed that PEG‐G3 induces significantly stronger immune protective responses against SVCV than G3. PEG modification significantly increased the serum antibody level of the vaccine, which increased significantly after immunization and reached the peak at 21 day post‐vaccination. T‐AOC and AKP activities in the lowest concentration group (5 μg) of PEG‐G3 were significantly higher than those in the highest concentration group (20 μg) of G3. In PEG‐G3 group, the expression of almost all genes increased at least 4 times compared with the control group. After 14‐day challenge, the RPS (relative percentage survival) of the highest concentration of PEG‐G3 group was 53.6%, while that of G3 group is 38.9%. Therefore, this work shows that PEG modification and dominant epitope screening may be effective methods to improve the immune protective effect of vaccines and to resist the infection of aquatic animal viral diseases.

The unique applications of porous metal–organic framework (MOF) liquids with permanent porosity and fluidity have attracted significant attention. However, fabrication of porous MOF liquids remains challenging because of the easy intermolecular self‐filling of the cavity or the rapid settlement of porous hosts in hindered solvents that cannot enter their pores. Herein, we report a facile strategy for the fabrication of a MOF liquid (Im‐UiO‐PL) by surface ionization of an imidazolium‐functionalized framework with a sterically hindered poly(ethylene glycol) sulfonate (PEGS) canopy. The Im‐UiO‐PL obtained in this way has a CO2 adsorption approximately 14 times larger than that of pure PEGS. Distinct from a porous MOF solid counterpart, the stored CO2 in Im‐UiO‐PL can be slowly released and efficiently utilized to synthesize cyclic carbonates in the atmosphere. This is the first example of the use of a porous MOF liquid as a CO2 storage material for catalysis. It offers a new method for the fabrication of unique porous liquid MOFs with functional behaviors in various fields of gas adsorption and catalysis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Solid‐state electrolytes (SEs) with high anodic (oxidation) stability are essential for achieving all‐solid‐state Li‐ion batteries (ASSLIBs) operating at high voltages. Until now, halide‐based SEs have been one of the most promising candidates due to their compatibility with cathodes and high ionic conductivity. However, the developed chloride and bromide SEs still show limited electrochemical stability that is inadequate for ultrahigh voltage operations. Herein, this challenge is addressed by designing a dual‐halogen Li‐ion conductor: Li3InCl4.8F1.2. F is demonstrated to selectively occupy a specific lattice site in a solid superionic conductor (Li3InCl6) to form a new dual‐halogen solid electrolyte (DHSE). With the incorporation of F, the Li3InCl4.8F1.2 DHSE becomes dense and maintains a room‐temperature ionic conductivity over 10−4 S cm−1. Moreover, the Li3InCl4.8F1.2 DHSE exhibits a practical anodic limit over 6 V (vs Li/Li+), which can enable high‐voltage ASSLIBs with decent cycling. Spectroscopic, computational, and electrochemical characterizations are combined to identify a rich F‐containing passivating cathode‐electrolyte interface (CEI) generated in situ, thus expanding the electrochemical window of Li3InCl4.8F1.2 DHSE and preventing the detrimental interfacial reactions at the cathode. This work provides a new design strategy for the fast Li‐ion conductors with high oxidation stability and shows great potential to high‐voltage ASSLIBs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The electrocatalytic conversion of CO2 into value‐added chemicals is a promising approach to realize a carbon‐energy balance. However, low current density still limits the application of the CO2 electroreduction reaction (CO2RR). Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are one class of promising alternatives for the CO2RR due to their periodically arranged isolated metal active sites. However, the poor conductivity of traditional MOFs usually results in a low current density in CO2RR. We have prepared conductive two‐dimensional (2D) phthalocyanine‐based MOF (NiPc‐NiO4) nanosheets linked by nickel‐catecholate, which can be employed as highly efficient electrocatalysts for the CO2RR to CO. The obtained NiPc‐NiO4 has a good conductivity and exhibited a very high selectivity of 98.4 % toward CO production and a large CO partial current density of 34.5 mA cm−2, outperforming the reported MOF catalysts. This work highlights the potential of conductive crystalline frameworks in electrocatalysis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
The TianQin space gravitational waves (GW) observatory will contain three geocentric and circularly orbiting spacecraft with an orbital radius of 105 km, to detect the GW in the milli‐hertz frequency band. Each spacecraft pair will establish a 1.7 × 105 km‐long laser interferometer immersed in the solar wind and the magnetospheric plasmas to measure the phase deviations induced by the GW. GW detection requires a high‐precision measurement of the laser phase. The cumulative effects of the long distance and the periodic oscillations of the plasma density may induce an additional phase noise. This study aims to model the plasma induced phase deviation of the interspacecraft laser signals, using a realistic orbit simulator and the Space Weather Modeling Framework model. Preliminary results show that the plasma density oscillation can induce the phase deviations close to 2 × 10−6 rad/Hz1/2 or 0.3 pm/Hz1/2 in the milli‐hertz frequency band and it is within the error budget assigned to the displacement noise of the interferometry. The amplitude spectrum density of phases along three arms become more separated when the orbital plane is parallel to the Sun‐Earth line or during a magnetic storm. Finally, the dependence of the phase deviations on the orbital radius is examined.Key Points: Additional phase deviation of the laser beams induced by the space plasmas is estimated for TianQin gravitational wave observatoryThe oscillating plasma density could cause the phase deviation close to 2 × 10−6 rad/Hz1/2 or 0.3 pm/Hz1/2 in the mHz frequency bandThe plasma influence becomes more moderate when the constellation plane is perpendicular to the Sun‐Earth line and with low‐orbital radius [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Multiple Acyl‐CoA dehydrogenase deficiency (MADD), one of the most common lipid storage myopathies (LSMs), is a heterogeneous inherited muscular disorder that is pathologically characterized by numerous lipid droplets in muscle fibers due to lipid metabolism disturbance. MADD exhibits a wide range of clinical features, including skeletal muscle weakness and multisystem dysfunctions. However, MADD, as well as other types of LSM, associated with peripheral neuropathy has rarely been reported during the past four decades. Here, we present four Chinese patients affected by MADD with peripheral neuropathy in our neuromuscular center. Clinically, these four patients showed skeletal muscle weakness and prominent paresthesia. Muscle biopsy detected characteristic myopathological patterns of LSM, such as obvious lipid droplets in muscle fibers. Sural nerve biopsy revealed a severe reduction in number of myelinated nerve fibers, which is a typical neuropathological pattern of peripheral neuropathy. Causative ETFDH mutations were found in all four cases. The skeletal muscle weakness was rapidly improved after some treatments while paresthesia showed unsatisfactory improvement. The features of previously reported patients of this specific type are also summarized in this paper. We propose that MADD with peripheral neuropathy may be a new phenotypic subtype because the pathology and reaction to riboflavin treatment are different from those of traditional MADD, although further research on the precise pathogenesis and mechanisms is needed.

Garnet‐type electrolytes suffer from unstable chemistry against air exposure, which generates contaminants on electrolyte surface and accounts for poor interfacial contact with the Li metal. Thermal treatment of the garnet at >700 °C could remove the surface contaminants, yet it regenerates the contaminants in the air, and aggravates the Li dendrite issue as more electron‐conducting defective sites are exposed. In a departure from the removal approach, here we report a new surface chemistry that converts the contaminants into a fluorinated interface at moderate temperature <180 °C. The modified interface shows a high electron tunneling barrier and a low energy barrier for Li+ surface diffusion, so that it enables dendrite‐proof Li plating/stripping at a high critical current density of 1.4 mA cm−2. Moreover, the modified interface exhibits high chemical and electrochemical stability against air exposure, which prevents regeneration of contaminants and keeps high critical current density of 1.1 mA cm−2. The new chemistry presents a practical solution for realization of high‐energy solid‐state Li metal batteries. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Safety concerns are impeding the applications of lithium metal batteries. Flame‐retardant electrolytes, such as organic phosphates electrolytes (OPEs), could intrinsically eliminate fire hazards and improve battery safety. However, OPEs show poor compatibility with Li metal though the exact reason has yet to be identified. Here, the lithium plating process in OPEs and Li/OPEs interface chemistry were investigated through ex situ and in situ techniques, and the cause for this incompatibility was revealed to be the highly resistive and inhomogeneous interfaces. Further, a nitriding interface strategy was proposed to ameliorate this issue and a Li metal anode with an improved Li cycling stability (300 h) and dendrite‐free morphology is achieved. Meanwhile, the full batteries coupled with nickel‐rich cathodes, such as LiNi0.8Co0.1Mn0.1O2, show excellent cycling stability and outstanding safety (passed the nail penetration test). This successful nitriding‐interface strategy paves a new way to handle the incompatibility between electrode and electrolyte. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Six isomorphous metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) with a 3D window‐beam architecture have been synthesized from solvothermal reactions, and are named Zn, Cd, Ni, Co, Mn and Cu‐MOF, respectively. The series of MOFs was utilized as precursors to synthesize MOF‐derived carbon with different morphologies. Zn and Cd‐MOFs lead to the derivation of porous carbons (PCs), which exhibit remarkable BET specific surface areas. For derivates of Ni, Co and Mn‐MOFs, graphitized carbons (GCs) show some carbon graphitization, but their BET specific surface areas are relatively small. C‐Cu has the smallest BET specific surface area, and there is no carbon graphitization. Therefore, the metal ion of the parent MOF exerts a crucial effect on the preparation of MOF‐derived carbon, such as the pore‐forming effect of Zn and Cd species, and catalytic graphitization of Ni, Co, and Mn species. The capacitances of MOF‐derived carbon follow the sequence of PCs>GCs>C‐Cu, which reveals that the specific surface area plays a dominant role in the capacitive performance of electrical double layer capacitors (EDLCs), and that the graphitization could improve the capacitance. Significantly, PC‐Zn exhibits the best specific capacitance (138 F g−1 at 0.5 Ag−1), and excellent life cycle, which can be applied as an electrode material in supercapacitors. Window of opportunity: A series of isomorphous MOFs have been employed as precursors for preparing carbon materials through the calcination‐thermolysis strategy. It is found that the metal species of parent MOFs exert crucial effects on MOF‐derived carbon. The correlation between capacitance and internal morphology has been intensively discussed. Moreover, PC‐Zn exhibits remarkable capacitances, and is an electrode material for supercapacitors. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Summary: Aim: Spinal cord injury (SCI) leads to severe neural damage for which there is currently no effective treatment. Exploration of the neuroprotective effect among clinically approved drugs will speed up clinical translation of SCI. Nafamostat mesilate (NM) as a synthetic serine protease inhibitor has been used clinically in pancreatitis treatments. However, its effectiveness in SCI is unknown. The aim of this study was to confirm the efficacy of NM in ameliorating SCI. Methods: Intraperitoneal administration of NM was performed on a contusion SCI model in Wistar rat. Hematoxylin and eosin staining (H&E staining) and Luxol fast blue (LFB) staining were used to observe the histological lesions. Apoptosis was examined by TUNEL staining, Annexin V‐FITC/PI, caspase‐3, and Bcl‐2. Cytokines and neurotrophins were tested by Western blot. Locomotion recovery assessed by hindlimb BBB score and the inclined plane test. Results: Nafamostat mesilate treatment significantly improved locomotion recovery as assessed by hindlimb BBB scores and the inclined plane test. H&E staining and LFB staining showed a significant increase in spared tissue in both gray matter and white matter. NM decreased the expression of the proinflammatory cytokines TNF‐α and IL‐6. In addition, apoptosis was also significantly decreased, as shown by TUNEL staining and Annexin V‐FITC/PI and by Western blotting for caspase‐3 and Bcl‐2 expression. Due to the mechanism of action of NM as a serine protease inhibitor, the drug decreased thrombin expression in the damaged spinal cord. Furthermore, NM increased the expression of neurotrophins (NT‐3, BDNF, and NGF). Conclusions: Upon NM treatment, the functional and histological outcomes were improved, and microenvironment upon SCI was modulated. As a clinically approved drug, NM holds promise for clinical use after spinal cord injury. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Aryl ketones represent problematic substrates for asymmetric Mannich reactions due to a large steric hindrance exhibited by such compound species. A highly enantioselective direct Mannich reaction of aryl methyl ketones with cyclic imine benzo[ e][1,2,3]oxathiazine 2,2-dioxides could be successfully carried out utilizing a combination of cinchona alkaloid-derived primary amines with trifluoroacetic acid (TFA); the primary amines feature a superior catalytic efficacy over secondary amines with a variety of sterically hindered carbonyl compounds as substrates. The reaction proceeded well with various cyclic imines in 89-97 % ee and with various aryl methyl ketones in 85-98 % ee. Moreover, the aryl carbonyl of a Mannich product could be transformed to ketoxime, which further undergoes a Beckmann rearrangement to produce an amide compound while maintaining enantioselectivity.

- Abstract
Free N‐heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) are generally prepared by treatment of imidazolium precursors with strong alkali reagents, which usually produces inactive NHC dimers. This treatment would destroy porous supports and thus make supported NHC catalysts difficult to recovery and reuse. Herein, we report the first stable CO2‐masked N‐heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) grafted on a porous crystalline covalent organic framework (COF). The stable NHC‐CO2 moieties in the COF‐NHC‐CO2 could be transformed in situ into isolated NHCs by heating, which exhibit superior catalytic performances in hydrosilylation and N‐formylation reactions with CO2. The NHC sites can reversibly form NHC‐CO2 and thus can be easily recycled and reused while maintaining excellent catalytic activity. Density functional theory calculations revealed that NHC sites can be fully exposed after removal of CO2‐masks and rapidly react with silanes, which endows COF‐NHC with high catalytic activity.
