Inhibiting Overoxidation of Dynamically Evolved RuO to Achieve a Win-Win in Activity-Stability for Acidic Water Electrolysis.

Proton exchange membrane (PEM) water electrolysis offers an efficient route to large-scale green hydrogen production, in which the RuO catalyst exhibits superior activity but limited stability.

This study proposes an adaptive machine learning workflow to elucidate the potential-dependent state-to-state global evolution of the RuO(110) surface within a complex composition and configuration space, revealing the correlation between structural patterns and stability.

Regulating cation-solvent interactions in PVDF-based solid-state electrolytes for advanced Li metal batteries.

Poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF)-based solid-state electrolytes (SSEs) have been considered promising candidates for advanced Li metal batteries due to their adequate mechanical strength and acceptable thermal stability. However, the poor compatibility between residual solvent and Li metal inevitably leads to fast capacity decay. Herein, we propose a multifunctional cation-anchor strategy to regulate solvation chemistry in PVDF-based SSEs to boost the electrochemical performance of Li metal batteries.

Haplotype-resolved genome assembly of the diploid Rosa chinensis provides insight into the mechanisms underlying key ornamental traits.

Roses are consistently ranked at the forefront in cut flower production. Increasing demands of market and changing climate conditions have resulted in the need to further improve the diversity and quality of traits. However, frequent hybridization leads to highly heterozygous nature, including the allelic variants.

The haplotype-resolved telomere-to-telomere carnation () genome reveals the correlation between genome architecture and gene expression.

Carnation () is one of the most valuable commercial flowers, due to its richness of color and form, and its excellent storage and vase life. The diverse demands of the market require faster breeding in carnations. A full understanding of carnations is therefore required to guide the direction of breeding.

Differential analysis of transcriptomic and metabolomic of free fatty acid rancidity process in oil palm () fruits of different husk types.

Introduction: Oil palm is the world's highest yielding oil crop and its palm oil has high nutritional value, making it an oilseed plant with important economic value and application prospects. After picking, oil palm fruits exposed to air will gradually become soft and accelerate the process of fatty acid rancidity, which will not only affect their flavor and nutritional value, but also produce substances harmful to the human body. As a result, studying the dynamic change pattern of free fatty acids and important fatty acid metabolism-related regulatory genes during oil palm fatty acid rancidity can provide a theoretical basis for improving palm oil quality and extending its shelf life.
