Article Abstract
A method of energy-transfer resonance of lycopene used to enhance stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) of a weak vibration C-O mode in tetrahydrofuran (THF) was developed in this study. Only C-H SRS was observed in pure THF at high energies. When lycopene was added, the C-O SRS located at 915 cm of the weak vibration mode in THF was observed. The maximum SRS enhancement of the C-O mode was achieved when the concentration was 3.72 × 10mol/L because of the resonance enhancement of the solute, which transferred the excess vibrational energy to the solvent. Moreover, the pulse width compression phenomenon of the C-H vibration in the presence of C-O SRS was obtained.

Glycolipids are key structural and functional components of biological membranes, yet their interfacial hydration behavior remains poorly understood. Here, we use vibrational heterodyne-detected sum-frequency generation (HD-SFG) spectroscopy to probe the molecular structure of the air-water interface formed by monolayers of ohmline, a glycolipid bearing a lactose headgroup and carrying no formal charge. Upon electrolyte addition, we observe a striking reorientation of interfacial water and a reversal of the HD-SFG signal, indicative of apparent surface charging by an otherwise neutral headgroup.

Keratins represent an important class of sulfur-rich structural proteins. In this study, the pressure response of α-keratin, extracted from sheep wool, was investigated using Raman spectroscopy up to 4 GPa. A non-polar liquid (a Fluorinert™ FC70/77 mixture) served as the Pressure Transmitting Medium (PTM) in a Diamond Anvil Cell (DAC).

We have investigated the effects of varying salt concentrations on the structure of the liquid/vapor interfaces of aqueous solutions of NaNO, Mg(NO), and Ca(NO) salts using molecular dynamics simulations and vibrational sum frequency generation (VSFG) spectral calculations. The current study reveals a weak interfacial propensity of the nitrate ions and formation of an ionic double-layer at the interfaces. The tetrahedral hydrogen bond network is disrupted more by ions in the bulk phase compared to the interface, with the extent of disruption increasing with concentration.

Tuning interfacial water structures is a fundamental yet underexplored strategy for advancing the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and broader electrocatalytic processes. Here, we demonstrate a universal and scalable catalytic optimization strategy via the magnetic field-driven reconfiguration of interfacial water at the molecular level. Unlike conventional magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) strategies focusing on mass transport, this work pioneers a molecular-level interfacial water structure modulation via the vibrational Stark effect (VSE), achieving intrinsic catalytic enhancement for HER.
