A one-step overall strategy from surface to bulk was proposed to simultaneously synthesize the Nb-doped and LiNbO_(3)-coated LiNi_(0.83)Co_(0.12)Mn_(0.05)O_(2) cathode materials.The incorporation of LiNbO_(3) coating ...A one-step overall strategy from surface to bulk was proposed to simultaneously synthesize the Nb-doped and LiNbO_(3)-coated LiNi_(0.83)Co_(0.12)Mn_(0.05)O_(2) cathode materials.The incorporation of LiNbO_(3) coating can regulate the interface and facilitate the diffusion of Li-ions.Simultaneously,the stronger Nb—O bond can effectively suppress Li^(+)/Ni^(2+) cation mixing and strengthen the stability of crystal structure,which helps to mitigate the anisotropic variations of lattice parameters during Li^(+) de/intercalation.The results showed that the dual-modified materials exhibited good structural stability and distinguished electrochemical performance.The optimal NCM-Nb2 sample showed an excellent capacity retention of 90.78%after 100 cycles at 1C rate between 2.7 and 4.3 V,while only 67.90%for the pristine one.Meanwhile,it displayed a superior rate capability of 149.1 mA·h/g at the 10C rate.These results highlight the feasibility of one-step dual modification strategy to synchronously improve the electrochemical performance of Ni-rich layered oxide cathodes.展开更多

The effects of carbon doping state and surface modification of g-C3N4 on the performance of g-C3N4@C-TiO2 composite photocatalysts were studied by X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, UV-visible diffuse-reflectance spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, photoluminescence, and electron paramagnetic resonance. With increasing carbon doping content, the carbon doping state in TiO2 gradually changed from gap to substitution doping. Although the number of oxygen vacancies gradually increased, the degradation efficiency of g-C3N4@C-TiO2 for RhB (phenol) initially increased and subsequently decreased with increasing carbon content. The g-C3N4@10C-TiO2 sample exhibited the highest apparent reaction rate constant of 0.036 min儃1 (0.039 min儃1) for RhB (phenol) degradation, which was 150 (139), 6.4 (6.8), 2.3 (3), and 1.7 (2.1) times higher than that of pure TiO2, 10C-TiO2, g-C3N4, and g-C3N4@TiO2, respectively. g-C3N4 was grown in situ on the surface of C-TiO2 by surface carbon hybridization and bonding. The resultant novel g-C3N4@C-TiO2 photocatalyst exhibited direct Z-scheme heterojunctions with non-local impurity levels. The high photocatalytic activity can be attributed to the synergistic effects of the improved visible light response ability, higher photogenerated electron transfer efficiency, and redox ability arising from Z-type heterojunctions.展开更多

Theoretical results indicate that the fundamental electronic properties of TiY2N@C80 are similar to that of TiSc2N@C80, but dramatically different from that of ScaN@C800 and YaN@C80 molecules. We find that the magnetism of TiY2N@C80 is quenched by carrier doping. The rotation energy barrier of the TiY2N cluster in C80 cage was obviously increased by exohedral chemical modification with pyrrolidine monoadduct.展开更多

It is characterised by an absence of enteric neurons along a variable region of the gastrointestinal tract. Hirschsprung's disease is classified as a multigenic disorder, because the same phenotype is associated with mutations in multiple distinct genes. Furthermore, the genetics of Hirschsprung's disease are highly complex and not strictly Mendelian. The phenotypic variability and incomplete penetrance observed in Hirschsprung' s disease also suggests the involvement of modifier genes. Here, we summarise the current knowledge of the genetics underlying Hirschsprung's disease based on human and animal studies, focusing on the principal causative genes, their interactions, and the role of modif ier genes.展开更多

In this work, we have investigated the coordination geometry of Cu(His)2 complex using X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) analysis. Copper K-edge XAFS spectra were acquired on aqueous Cu2+ samples with his- tidine at different pH values. The coordination environments were further confirmed by chemically modified histidine. Results show that the caboxylate groups coordinate at acidic condition, while amino and imidazole nitrogens get coordinated at higher pH. For the co- ordination geometry of Cu(His)2 in solution at physiological pH, the sixfold coordination is preferentially formed, while the fivefold coordination can co-exist in equilibrium.展开更多

They need special treatments and reinforcements to keep the structural state or to gain extra forces to receive the new loads. But the traditional ways of reinforcement do not prove endless solutions as the most means of the deteriorations from the nature. So, the liability issue is how to find the least reinforcement within the means of technology with the least deterioration and in a less time or by other ways efficiently. The hypothesis considers that the ornaments in some heritage buildings are found in critical levels of the construction which can share in an efficient way in the reinforcement processes of such buildings.展开更多

The phosphoinositide 3-kinase(PI3K) is accountable for harmonizing a diverse range of cell functions, such as transcription, proliferation, cell survival, cell growth, degranulation, vesicular trafficking and cell migration, which are mostly involved in carcinogenesis. Particularly, PI3K-mediated signaling molecules and its effects on gene expression contribute to tumorigenesis. PI3Ks generally are grouped into three distinct classes: Ⅰ, Ⅱ and Ⅲ according to their structure and function. The class IA of PI3K includes an alpha, beta or delta p110 catalytic subunit(p110α, p110β, or p110γ), which are associated with the activation of RTKs. Mutations in PIK3CA, the gene encoding the p110α catalytic subunit of PI3K, have just been recognized as novel mechanisms of inducing oncogenic PI3K signaling. Therefore, the class IA PI3K is the only one of most evidently implicated in cancer. The PI3K pathway is mostly mutated in more cancer patients compared with normal person, making it an eyecatching molecular target for analyses based on inhibitor molecule. In this article, we highlighted the signaling effects and regulation pathway of PI3K involved in the development and survival of tumor cells. The consequence and intricacy of PI3K pathway made it an essential beneficial target for cancer treatment.展开更多
