Article Abstract

Anaerobic methanotrophic archaea (ANME) and sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) form syntrophic partnerships in marine sediments to consume greenhouse gas methane. While direct interspecies electron transport is proposed to enable ANME/SRB symbiosis, its electrochemical properties remain uncharacterized. Here, using sediment-free enrichment cultures, we measured the electron transport capabilities of marine consortia under physiological conditions. Diverse ANME/SRB consortia exhibited high dry conductance close to electrogenic biofilms. This conductance diminished upon exposure to heat or oxygen but was preserved following paraformaldehyde fixation, indicating a biomolecular origin for this electric charge transfer. Cyclic voltammetry revealed redox activity centered at 28 ± 11, 94 ± 6, and 24 ± 7 millivolts for ANME-1/, ANME-2a/Seep-SRB1, and ANME-2a+2c/Seep-SRB1+2 consortia, respectively. Generator-collector measurements further demonstrated that these redox components facilitate electron transport over micrometer-scale distances, sufficient to link archaeal and bacterial partners. Collectively, our results establish that marine ANME/SRB symbiosis uses redox conduction, consistent with multiheme cytochrome , for direct interspecies electron transport.

Sulfur-modified nanoscale zero-valent iron (S-nZVI) has emerged as a promising additive for enhancing anaerobic treatment of refractory wastewater. However,its long-term effectiveness and role in toxic shock resistance remain unclear. Herein, S-nZVI was first applied to continuous-flow anaerobic reactors treating wastewater containing 2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP).

While fluorene-containing materials are widely used in organic optoelectronics as bright emitters and hole semiconductors, their diazafluorene analogues have been poorly explored, though their nitrogen atoms could result in electron transport and bring sensory abilities. Here, we report the synthesis, characterization, and detailed study of a series of 4,5-diazafluorene-derivatives with different donor/acceptor substituents and organic semiconductors based on these molecules. The crystal structures of all the materials were solved by X-ray diffraction, indicating the presence of extensive π-stacking and anisotropic charge-transfer pathways.

Altermagnets are a newly identified family of collinear antiferromagnets with a momentum-dependent spin-split band structure of non-relativistic origin, derived from spin-group symmetry-protected crystal structures. Among candidate altermagnets, CrSb is attractive for potential applications because of a large spin-splitting near the Fermi level and a high Néel transition temperature of around 700 K. Molecular beam epitaxy is used to synthesize CrSb (0001) thin films with thicknesses ranging from 10 to 100 nm.

Ni-Fe-P nanorods via self-sacrificial template as high-performance anodes for sodium-ion batteries.

Nanotechnology

September 2025

Anhui University, No. 111 Jiulong Road, Economic and Technological Development Zone, Hefei City, Anhui Province, China, Hefei, Anhui, 230601, CHINA.

Ni-Fe Prussian blue analogue (PBA) nanorods were successfully synthesized using an innovative one-dimensional molybdate template method, followed by the preparation of Ni-Fe-P nanorods through a phosphating process. These nanorods are meticulously constructed from two metal phosphides, Ni 5 P 4 and FeP. As an anode material for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs), the self-sacrificial template synthesis of Ni-Fe-P nanorods demonstrates remarkable electrochemical performance, achieving a reversible specific capacity of up to 678.

To assess the efficacy of a mixed-dimensional van der Waals (vdW) heterostructure in modulating the optoelectronic responses of nanodevices, the charge transport properties of the transition-metal dichalcogenide (TMD)-based heterostructure comprising zero-dimensional (0D) WS quantum dots (QDs) and two-dimensional (2D) MoS flakes are critically analyzed. Herein, a facile strategy was materialized in developing an atomically thin phototransistor assembled from mechanically exfoliated MoS and WS QDs synthesized using a one-pot hydrothermal route. The amalgamated photodetectors exhibited a high responsivity of ∼8000 A/W at an incident power of 0.
