Article Abstract

In situ Raman spectra of HoVO micro- and nanocrystals were obtained at high pressures up to 25.4 and 18.0 GPa at room temperature, respectively. The appearance of new peaks in the Raman spectra and the discontinuities of the Raman-mode shift provided powerful evidence for an irreversible zircon-to-scheelite structure transformation for HoVO microcrystals at 7.2 GPa and for HoVO nanocrystals at 8.7 GPa. The lattice contraction caused by the size effect was thought to be responsible for the different phase-transition pressures. Also, the higher stability of HoVO nanocrystals compared with the microcrystals was also confirmed using the Raman frequencies and pressure coefficients. The results of the phase transition of HoVO were compared with previously reported rare-earth orthovanadates, and the phase diagram of REVO with RE ionic radius at different pressures was presented.

Nifurtimox (NFX) is a chiral drug used for the treatment of Chagas Disease. Little attention has been paid to the enantioselective properties of chiral drugs used for neglected tropical diseases, highlighting the need for further studies in this area. In this work, the enantioselective properties of NFX were carefully investigated by HPLC using different chiral stationary phases (CSPs) and chromatographic modes.

Introduction: leaves (FSL), a traditional Chinese ethnomedicinal herbal material used to prepare health-promoting infusions and pharmacologically noted for their robust anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and broad-spectrum antiviral activities, nevertheless have an as-yet-uncharacterized molecular mechanism of action against human adenovirus (HAdV).

Methods: Ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with Q-Exactive Orbitrap mass spectrometry (UHPLC-Q-Exactive-Orbitrap/MS) was employed to identification of FSL components. Publicly available GEO datasets were mined to identify HAdV-associated differentially expressed genes (DEGs).

A cubic phase with composition MgRu (tetra-tetra-contamagnesium hepta-ruthenium) was obtained during high-pressure sinter-ing of a mixture with an initial chemical composition of MgRuB. MgRu has space-group symmetry 43 and adopts the Mg Pt type of structure, which is categorized as one of the two structural types identified in complex compounds.

Solid-state lithium-ion batteries have raised considerable attention due to their great potential for the development of new energy storage devices with high energy density and safety. However, enhancing ion conductivity in solid-state electrolytes stands as a pivotal challenge for the large-scale commercialization of next-generation lithium-ion batteries. Here, a high-pressure strategy is reported to achieve the significant enhancement of lithium-ion conductivity by 2 orders of magnitude and the disappearance of grain boundary resistance in polyoxometalate LiPWO electrolyte via an irreversible phase transition from Keggin to bronze structure.
