The high interface resistance at the cathode-sulfide electrolyte interface is still a crucial drawback in an all-solid-state battery, unlike the initial expectation that the all-solid-state interface would enhance electrochemical stability by reducing side reactions at the interface. In this study, we examined the fundamental mechanism of unexpected reactions at the interface of LiNiCoMnO (NCM811) and argyrodite (LiPSBrCl, LPSBC) sulfide solid electrolytes based on the combined method of multiscale simulations and electrochemical experiments. The high interface resistance originates from the formation of a passivating layer at the interface combined with irregular atomic and electronic structures, Li depletion, mutual element exchange, and mechanical contact loss between the oxide cathode and sulfide solid electrolyte. We also confirmed that these side reactions were suppressed by O substitutions to sulfide solid electrolyte (LPSOBC), and then the chemo-mechanical stability of the all-solid battery was enhanced by alleviating the side reactions at the interface. This study provides rational insights into the design of an interface for all-solid-state batteries.

Serine hydroxymethyltransferase (SHMT) is a critical enzyme in the one-carbon (1C) metabolism pathway catalyzing the reversible conversion of L-Ser into Gly and concurrent transfer of 1C unit to tetrahydrofolate (THF) to give 5,10-methylene-THF (5,10-MTHF), which is used in the downstream syntheses of biomolecules critical for cell proliferation. The cellular 1C metabolism is hijacked by many cancer types to support cancer cell proliferation, making SHMT a promising target for the design and development of novel small-molecule antimetabolite chemotherapies. To advance structure-assisted drug design, knowledge of SHMT catalysis is crucial, but can only be fully realized when the atomic details of each reaction step governed by the acid-base catalysis are elucidated by visualizing active site hydrogen atoms.

Platinum-group metal half-sandwich complexes are considered to be potential replacements of the clinically widely used platins which have several side effects and tend to cause resistance to develop. In our previous works, we used a range of 2-pyridyl-substituted N- and C-glycosyl heterocycles as N,N-chelating ligands to prepare ruthenium(II), osmium(II), iridium(III) and rhodium(III) polyhapto arene/arenyl half-sandwich complexes. Some of these complexes, particularly with the C-glucopyranosyl isoxazole derived ligand in its O-perbenzoylated form, exhibited greater anticancer efficiency than cisplatin and had minimal or negligible effects on non-transformed fibroblasts.

Carbon-based catalysts with free-standing structure are essential for rechargeable zinc-air battery as electrodes, which can avoid the side effects brought by organic binder. However, the current preparation methods still can be improved for faster preparation process and morphology control. In this study, we reported a fabrication strategy of self-standing carbon catalyst loaded with CoFe nanoparticles and carbon nanotube as air electrodes for liquid rechargeable zinc-air battery.

A manganese(II)-catalyzed anti-Markovnikov addition of diarylphosphine oxides to primary and secondary allylic alcohols has been developed, which delivered synthetically valuable γ-hydroxy phosphine oxides. The reaction proceeds under mild, base-assisted conditions with a broad substrate scope and excellent functional group tolerance. Mechanistic studies indicate the involvement of a homogeneous catalytic system and a radical pathway.

Acetophenones, which show scattered distribution across phylogenetically distant plants and fungi, play diverse roles in plant-plant, plant-insect, plant-microbiome and even animal-insect interactions. However, the enzymatic basis of acetophenone biosynthesis in plants remains unknown. Here we elucidate the complete biosynthetic pathway of picein (4-hydroxyacetophenone glucoside) from 4-coumaroyl-CoA using pear (Pyrus) as a study system.
