Article Abstract

This study investigates the frequency tunability of a coaxial transverse electromagnetic mode (TEM)-linear-polarized TE mode tunable turnstile mode converter (TTMC) for high-power microwave applications using a combination of simulation and experiment. In the proposed structure, the sliding folded waveguide can be moved radially to meet the requirement of linear polarization, and the matching structure is designed to eliminate the undesired reflection. The simulation shows that the conversion efficiency of the TTMC can reach over 99% in the frequency range of 1.45-2.35 GHz, corresponding to a frequency tuning bandwidth of about 47.4%. Moreover, the TTMC can maintain a continuous high conversion efficiency at different frequency points by changing the tuning mechanism. The experimental investigation shows that the TTMC can convert the coaxial TEM mode into a circular waveguide TE mode with a conversion efficiency of above 95% in the frequency range of 1.55-2.35 GHz. The experimental measurements agree well with the simulation results, implying feasibility of the TTMC design and its superior performance.

Integration of SuFEx and Sonogashira Cross-Coupling for the Synthesis of Structurally Diverse Aryl Acetylenes on DNA.

To address the current limitations of DNA-compatible Sonogashira cross-coupling reactions capable of accommodating a broad range of commercially available phenolic building blocks (BBs), an SuFEx-Sonogashira cross-coupling protocol has been developed. This protocol involves the conversion of readily accessible phenolic compounds into the corresponding aryl fluorosulfates within 96-well microplates via a highly efficient liquid-phase SuFEx reaction, followed by Sonogashira cross-coupling with DNA-conjugated terminal alkynes.

Proton transfer plays an important role in both hydrogen and oxygen evolution reactions during electrocatalytic water splitting to produce green hydrogen. However, directly adapting the conventional proton/deuterium kinetic isotope effect to study proton transfer in heterogeneous electrocatalytic processes is challenging. Here we propose using the shift in the Tafel slope between protic and deuteric electrolytes, or the Tafel slope isotope effect, as an effective probe of proton transfer characteristics.

Decades of antibiotic misuse have spurred an antimicrobial resistance crisis, creating an urgent demand for alternative treatment options. Although phototherapy has therapeutic potential, the efficacy of the most advanced photosensitizers (PS) is essentially limited by aggregation-induced quenching, which significantly reduces their therapeutic effect. To address these challenges, we developed a cationic metallocovalent organic framework (CRuP-COF) via a solvent-mediated dual-reaction synthesis strategy.

Bioconversion of CO to methane energy by Methanococcus maripaludis in newly-designed bioreactor system: Kinetic characteristics, parameter optimization and grid-quality production.

Carbon dioxide enhanced oil recovery (CO-EOR) is widely used for carbon capture, utilization, and storage in Chinese oilfields, but part of injected CO returns with produced oil, reducing carbon-reduction efficiency. Bioconverting this CO to methane energy by methanogens benefits the technology, yet on-site high-efficiency conversion meeting natural-gas grid standards remains challenging. This study used a newly-designed triple-tank bioreactor to investigate CO-to-methane conversion and methanogenic kinetics of Methanococcus maripaludis.
