Article Abstract

Design of electrocatalyst combining low overpotential, high selectivity and stability for combating the stability-efficiency-selectivity tradeoff in CO electroreduction remains a crucial challenge. Herein, a hierarchical modulation strategy is proposed for the precise assembly of Boron (B) and Tin (Sn), resulting in novel copper (Cu)-aerogel (BSnCu3) structures with both structural and functional hierarchies for advanced CO electroreduction. Superficial assembled Tin creates Cu protective layer for high stability, the body assembled Boron improves the binding affinity to intermediates and shifts Cu d-band upward for enhanced charge transfer. BSnCu3 achieves exceptional performance, including an ethanol selectivity of 93.2%, a Faradaic efficiency (FE) of 90.3%, and an ultralow overpotential of 0.12 V, alongside remarkable stability. Leveraging the synergistic effects of regionally assembled Boron/Tin and the efficient charge/mass transfer of the 3D nanowire network, BSnCu3 attains a record-breaking tradeoff index of 2.74, surpassing all reported values. This work presents an inspiring strategy and sets a new benchmark for advanced electrocatalyst design.

Fractal growth in reaction-diffusion frameworks (RDF) offers a powerful paradigm for understanding self-assembly in chemical and materials systems. However, its connection to diffusion-limited aggregation (DLA) remains underexplored. Here, we present the first quantitative demonstration of RDF-driven fractal crystallization of benzoic acid (BA), revealing a direct correlation among fractal dimension, diffusion rate, and gel-matrix chemistry.

Maize anthracnose, caused by the fungal pathogen Colletotrichum graminicola, is among the most devastating diseases affecting maize production. Homeobox transcription factors (HTFs) regulate key developmental and physiological processes in eukaryotes, including fungal pathogenesis. In this study, we identified two HTFs, CgrHtf1 and CgrAfh1, in C.

Kinetic and Mechanistic Discrepancies of Single/Dual-Atom Nanozymes Drive a Triple-Channel Sensing Array for Machine Learning-Assisted Antioxidant Discrimination.

Current colorimetric sensing arrays for antioxidant detection often struggle with discrimination due to cross-reactive signals from individual nanozymes. These signals are typically modulated by external factors such as pH or chromogenic substrates, offering limited kinetic and mechanistic diversity. To overcome this, we present a novel triple-channel colorimetric sensing array utilizing two distinct single-atom nanozymes (Cu SA and Fe SA) and one dual-atom nanozyme (CuFe DA).

Introduction: Exposure to prescription opioids following traumatic injury can increase the risk of developing tolerance, persistent opioid use and opioid use disorder. The mechanisms underlying opioid tolerance or dependence are not well understood, and no biomarkers predict risk. Opioid exposure causes epigenetic modifications, including alterations in microRNA (miRNA) expression.

Myocardial infarction (MI) is followed by irreversible damage to the myocardium, which eventually evolves into ventricular remodeling and heart failure. An imbalanced inflammatory response after MI can exacerbate myocardial injury. Current strategies to modulate inflammation and thereby improve myocardial tissue repair are limited.
