Article Abstract

The increased adoption of renewable power necessitates the development of grid-scale storage solutions, with aqueous redox flow batteries (RFBs) at the forefront. Despite their potential, performance limitations arising from high solution viscosity at high concentrations of active material and rapid degradation due to active material crossover continue to pose challenges. Here, we use flow chemistry to create redox-active hyperbranched copolymers (HBCs), which exhibited substantially improved suppression of crossover and enhanced rheology behaviors. The distinct reaction dynamics of flow chemistry facilitated the efficient and monomer-independent control over self-condensing vinyl polymerization, yielding well-defined HBCs with remarkably low dispersity. This strategy effectively enhanced the uniformity of the redox-active HBCs, leading to significantly reduced crossover and accelerated diffusion rates. The RFBs equipped with our redox-active HBCs exhibited long-term stability, mapping a pathway towards practical application of polymer-based technologies as well as highlighting the unique advantages of the flow chemistry techniques in high-precision electrolyte design.

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are environmentally persistent, bioaccumulative, and toxic chemicals that contaminate global drinking water resources. Their ubiquity and potential impact on human health motivate large-scale remediation. Conventional materials used to remove PFASs during drinking water production are functionally inefficient or energetically expensive, motivating the discovery of new materials and technologies.

Ynones are attractive molecular building blocks owing to their electrophilic character, which can be exploited in a variety of functionalization strategies, giving rise to valuable reaction products. This work presents a photochemical strategy for the direct generation of ynones from aldehydes and substituted alkynes bearing radicofugal groups, such as sulfones. Using TBADT (tetrabutylammonium decatungstate) as a photocatalyst, the direct photochemical synthesis of a variety of ynones is achieved in high yields and short reaction times.

An innovative 4D targeted method was developed for the determination of 61 bioactive compounds in royal jelly (RJ) related to their health-promoting properties. The method, apart from high-resolution mass spectrometry, exploits the advantages of vacuum-insulated probe-heated electrospray ionization source (VIP-HESI), reducing thermal degradation, and trapped ion mobility spectrometry (TIMS), improving selectivity and compound identification. The optimization of VIP-HESI ionization parameters using experimental designs showed that the critical parameters were the capillary voltage as well as the probe gas flow rate and temperature.

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).
