Article Abstract

Poly(heptazine imide) (PHI), one of the crystalline or long-range ordered allotropes of polymeric carbon nitride, is a promising polymeric photocatalyst; however, preparation of highly crystalline PHI remains a challenge. Herein, through a bottom-up strategy involving repair of structural defects and increase of specific surface area of melon precursor, we prepared PHI nanorods with dramatically improved long-range order. The resulting PHI exhibited a shift of product selectivity in CO photoreduction from CO to CH with a high methanation activity in contrast to the pristine PHI with relatively low long-range order. The improvement of long-range order for PHI remarkably enhanced the separation efficiency and transfer kinetics of photogenerated charges as well as the adsorption for *CO intermediate. This study revealed the relationship between the precursor structure and PHI crystal growth in ionothermal synthesis, and also showcased the great potential of highly crystalline PHI in artificial photosynthesis.

We investigate nonreciprocal XY (NRXY) models defined on two-dimensional lattices in which the coupling strength of a spin with its neighbors varies with their position in the frame defined by the current spin orientation. As expected from the seminal work of Dadhichi et al., [Nonmutual torques and the unimportance of motility for long-range order in two-dimensional flocks, Phys.

The relation between band topology and Majorana zero energy modes (MZMs) in topological superconductors had been well studied in the past decades. However, the relation between the quantum metric and MZMs has yet to be understood. In this Letter, we first construct a three band Lieb-like lattice model with an isolated flat band and tunable quantum metric.

We report the performance of solid-state ceramic supercapacitors (SSCs) based on a novel composite electrolyte comprising aluminum-doped lithium lanthanum titanate perovskite, LiLaTiAlO (Al-doped LLTO), and the ionic liquid 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate (EMIM BF). Rietveld refinement of X-ray diffraction data confirms the preservation of the tetragonal perovskite phase after Al substitution, indicating structural stability of the host lattice. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and Raman spectroscopy further corroborate the successful incorporation of Al without forming secondary phases.

The anti-digestive properties of cross-linked starches are essential for the development of low glycemic foods. Dynamic digestion modeling simulates the human digestive process more accurately and is an effective tool to study its anti-enzymatic mechanism. The structural evolution characteristics and the generation rules of sugar derivatives of lotus seed cross-linked starch with low, medium, high cross-linking degree (LS-2CS, LS-6CS, LS-12CS, respectively) were studied and compared during in vitro dynamic simulation digestive system.

The viscosity of the plasma membrane in living cells is a crucial biophysical parameter that regulates cellular functions. We categorize the plasma membrane viscosity into short-range and long-range viscosities based on the spatial scale of the cellular processes they influence. Short-range viscosity originates from the Brownian motion of membrane molecules, i.
