AbstractMetal halide perovskite single crystals (SCs) have emerged as promising candidates for high‐performance X‐ray detectors. However, mitigating the adverse effects of thermal and interfacial stress during SC growth remains a significant challenge. In this study, the solution growth of high‐quality perovskite SCs using silicone containers through a constant‐temperature autonomous crystallization process is presented. Unlike conventional hard glass vessels, soft silicone containers significantly reduce the negative impact of thermal and interfacial stress on SC growth. Additionally, the microporous nature of silicone containers permits solvent leakage, facilitating autonomous SC growth at constant temperatures. The hydrophilic surface of the silicone further increases the interfacial nucleation barrier and enhances mass transfer, promoting the rapid growth of larger SCs. This multifaceted approach results in MAPbBr3 SCs with an exceptionally low defect density of 2.15×108 cm−3 and an optimal full‐width‐at‐half‐maximum of X‐ray diffraction rocking curves at 19.04 arcsec, consequently leading to an ultralow X‐ray detection limit of 850 pGyair s−1 for the X‐ray detectors. The superior quality of the SCs, combined with a low‐temperature flip‐chip bonding process, enables the integration of the crystals with pixelated arrays on a printed circuit board for both single‐photon detection and low‐dose X‐ray imaging.

Published: October 2024

AbstractHerein, we report a new approach for the light‐mediated generation of sulfamoyl radicals using sulfur dioxide as key building block and the direct application of these radicals in the synthesis of sulfonamides. In the presence of different photoredox catalysts, sulfamoyl radicals can be generated directly from SO2 or the SO2 surrogate DABSO (1,4‐diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane⋅bis (sulfur dioxide) adduct) and N‐aminopyridinium salts as nitrogen radical precursors. Trapping of the in situ generated sulfamoyl radicals with selected electron‐rich olefins affords different sulfonamides in up to 86% yield in a three‐component procedure. This transformation provides a complementary approach for the in situ generation of sulfamoyl radicals as synthetic intermediates for the assembly of the sulfonamide functionality, a privileged motif in active pharmaceutical ingredients.

AbstractRecently developed synthetic protocols for the preparation of λ3‐phosphanaphthalenes have broadened the general scope of organophosphorus chemistry, but a versatile protocol is still missing. Here, we describe a scalable synthetic approach for the construction of various substituted phosphanaphthalenes. We have obtained 11 derivatives through rigorous study and have demonstrated the robustness of this method. The optical properties of these phosphorus compounds and their aza and carbo analogues have been experimentally compared. Here, we show the power of the method in extending the synthesis to even larger polycyclic aromatic systems with embedded phosphine rings toward its potential applicability to materials science.

Authors: Loch Alex S. , Burn Paul L. , Shaw Paul E. 
Published: October 2024

AbstractFluorescence‐based sensing is a promising method for detecting trace quantities (vapors) of chemical threats. However, direct detection at standard temperature and pressure of chemicals with low volatilities, such as the salts of illegal drugs, is difficult to achieve. Herein, the development of a testing platform designed to maximize the response from fluorescent material detection of low volatility analytes, using the salts of illicit drugs as exemplars, is described. The challenges encountered in detecting low‐volatility analytes are highlighted, and the hardware solutions employed to overcome them are detailed. The testing platform is composed of a swab heating unit, a sensing chamber, and optical components that enable detection of illicit drugs via a fluorescence quenching mechanism. The swab heating unit facilitates volatilization of the analytes, with the shape of the sensing chamber and its fabrication material optimized to maximize the interaction of the analyte with the sensing element, increasing sensitivity. The detection platform is able to detect trace amounts (down to 30 ng) of (±)‐3,4‐methylenedioxyamphetamine hydrochloride (MDA•HCl), along with other common illicit drug salts such as cocaine hydrochloride (cocaine•HCl), fentanyl•HCl, and methamphetamine•HCl (MA•HCl).
Farmers' Financial Literacy—Scale Development and Linkages to Accounting Practices and Financial Outcomes
Authors: Gottlieb Uliana , Hansson Helena 
Published: October 2024

ABSTRACTThis study investigates the financial literacy (FL) of Swedish farmers, its linkages to farmer characteristics, management accounting practices and farm outcomes by surveying Swedish Farm Accountancy Data Network farmers. Using item response theory, we expand the existing FL measurement specifically to the farming context, assess measurement items and compare shorter and longer scales of FL. Our findings indicate high levels of FL among respondents. FL is positively associated with more extensive management accounting practices, greater farm profitability and lower cost of debt, independent of other farmer characteristics, including education, numeracy, need for cognition, and money vigilance. The findings suggest the relevance of FL as a farmer characteristic for both practices and outcomes, even when included through its shortest and more established measurement scale.

Published: October 2024

AbstractAlthough eutectic solvents (ESs) have garnered significant attention as promising solvents for carbon dioxide (CO2) capture, systematic studies on discovering novel ESs linking machine learning (ML) and experimental validation are scarce. For the reliable prediction of CO2‐in‐ES solubility, ensemble ML modeling based on random forest and extreme gradient boosting with inputs of COSMO‐RS derived molecular descriptors is rigorously performed, for which an extensive experimental CO2‐in‐ES solubility database of 2438 data points in 162 ESs involving 106 ES systems are collected. With the best‐performing model obtained, the CO2 solubilities of 4735 novel combinations of ES components are first predicted for estimating their potential in CO2 capture. The top‐ranked candidate combinations are subsequently evaluated by examining the environmental health and safety properties of individual components and assessing the potential operating window based on solid–liquid equilibrium (SLE) prediction. Three most promising ES systems are finally retained, which are thoroughly studied by SLE and CO2 absorption experiments.

ABSTRACTConotruncal heart defects are severe congenital malformations of the outflow tract, including truncus arteriosus (TA) and double‐outlet right ventricle (DORV). TA is a severe congenital heart disease (CHD) in which the main arterial outflow tract of the heart fails to separate. We recently reported TMEM260 (NM_017799.4), c.1617del (p.Trp539Cysfs*9), as a major cause of TA in the Japanese population (TMEM260 Keio‐Tohoku variant) comparable to the prevalence of the 22q11.2 deletion syndrome, which accounts for 12%–35% of TA. However, no other major causes of TA have not been identified. Here, we report a family that included a TA patient and a DORV patient, harboring the compound heterozygous variants of TMEM260, a 7066‐bp deletion encompassing exons 6–7 and c.1393C > T, p.(Gln465*). The allele frequency of the 7066‐bp deletion was particularly high in the Japanese population (0.17%). Based on the allele frequency of this deletion and c.1617del (0.36%) in the Japanese population, TMEM260 variants might be associated with more than half of the Japanese patients with TA. This study showed that TMEM260 pathogenic variants might be the most common cause of TA in the Japanese population and could explain the wide spectrum of phenotypes associated with TMEM260‐related CHD, including DORV, demonstrating the usefulness of genetic testing in Japanese patients with TA.

AbstractObjectivesBetween the Irish late medieval (AD 1150–c.1550) (LMP) and post‐medieval (AD c.1550–1800) (PMP) periods, colonial practices changed land ownership. Contextualizing these periods within a biocultural political economy framework supports increasing social inequality in the PMP, which we expect to be reflected in different skeletal markers of longevity and stress. Therefore, we hypothesized that widespread exposure to stressors and resource deprivation contributed to lower longevity in the PMP compared to the LMP, and that there would be greater variation between sites in the frequency of linear enamel hypoplasias (LEH) in the PMP.Materials and MethodsWe estimated age and counted matched pairs of LEH on 526 adult skeletons from the Irish counties of Dublin, Kildare, Louth, and Meath. Age‐at‐death was compared through Kaplan–Meier survival functions and non‐parametric tests. Linear enamel hypoplasias prevalences were analyzed with Mann–Whitney U tests and Generalized Linear Models.ResultsAge‐at‐death distribution changed between the LMP and PMP for males, with males experiencing an increase in median‐age‐at‐death. The same was untrue for females, who show no changes in median age‐at‐death. Analysis of LEH frequency per individual showed that variation between sites was significant in the post‐medieval period but not in the late medieval period.ConclusionThese results suggest that social organization contributed to embodied health experiences that varied across time periods. Specifically, populations from the PMP appear to have embodied greater social inequality in their more varied susceptibility to stress. Our work demonstrates the strength of pairing historical texts with the analysis of skeletal remains to evaluate the impact of social structures on biological frailty.

AbstractElectrocatalytic oxidation of aqueous phenol to para‐benzoquinone (p‐BQ) offers a sustainable approach for both pollutant abatement and value‐added chemicals production. However, achieving high phenol conversion and p‐BQ yield under neutral conditions remains challenging. Herein, we report a Ni(OH)2‐supported Ru nanoparticles (NiRu) hybrid electrocatalyst, which exhibits a superior phenol conversion of 96.5 % and an excellent p‐BQ yield of 83.4 % at pH 7.0, significantly outperforming previously reported electrocatalysts. This exceptional performance benefits from the triple synergistic modulation of the NiRu catalyst, including enhanced phenol adsorption, increased p‐BQ desorption, and suppressed oxygen evolution. By coupling a flow electrolyzer with an extraction‐distillation separation unit, the simultaneous phenol removal and p‐BQ recovery are realized. Additionally, the developed electrocatalytic system with the NiRu/C anode displays good stability, favorable energy consumption, and reduced greenhouse gas emissions for phenol‐containing wastewater treatment, demonstrating its potential for practical applications. This work offers a promising strategy for achieving low‐carbon emissions in phenol wastewater treatment.

AbstractThe π‐conjugated macrocyclic emitters with thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) characteristics have attracted widespread attention in the field of organic electroluminescence (EL) materials due to their unique geometries and excellent luminescence performance. Despite the significant impact of conjugation length and cavity dimensions on molecular conformation, the influence of these factors on the excited‐state properties remains understudied. Herein, we formulated a strategy aimed at modulating the conformation of TADF macrocyclic molecules containing aniline as the donor (D) unit, and triazine as the acceptor (A), linked in D−A and D‐π‐A alternative macrocyclic construction (MC‐TNT and MC‐TST). Corroborated by experimental and theoretical analyses, the compact and conformationally twisted MC‐TNT exhibits efficient blue luminescence in crystalline state, facilitating EL at high doping concentrations with maximum external quantum efficiency (EQEmax) of 13.9 %, leading the field of blue macrocyclic emitters. Notably, MC‐TST with π‐bridge and flat conformation, demonstrates diminished Coulombic repulsion, achieving nearly 100 % photoluminescence quantum yield and superior horizontal dipole orientation of 85 % in 5 wt % doped films, and the corresponding device‘s EQEmax reaches record‐high 32.7 % within the TADF macrocyclic domain.

Published: October 2024

AbstractIn addressing challenges such as side reaction and dendrite formation, electrolyte modification with bio‐molecule sugar species has emerged as a promising avenue for Zn anode stabilization. Nevertheless, considering the structural variability of sugar, a comprehensive screening strategy is meaningful yet remains elusive. Herein, we report the usage of sugar additives as a representative of bio‐molecules to develop a screening descriptor based on the modulation of the hydrogen bond component and electron transfer kinetics. It is found that xylo‐oligosaccharide (Xos) with the highest H‐bond acceptor ratio enables efficient water binding, affording stable Zn/electrolyte interphase to alleviate hydrogen evolution. Meanwhile, sluggish reduction originated from the steric hindrance of Xos contributes to optimized Zn deposition. With such a selected additive in hand, the Zn||ZnVO full cells demonstrate durable operation. This study is anticipated to provide a rational guidance in sugar additive selection for aqueous Zn batteries.

Published: October 2024

AbstractIn this work, a composite material for the adsorption removal of thiophenic sulfur compounds (TSCs) was prepared by loading Cu2O onto palygorskite using a simple and low‐cost impregnation method and characterized for its structure and morphology. The addition of Cu2O did not change palygorskite's structure, and the Cu+ was evenly dispersed in the palygorskite fibers. The palygorskite provided the adsorptive active centers Cu+ efficient surface and pore structure to increase the sulfur removal performance of palygorskite. The optimum desulfurization process conditions of the Cu2O/palygorskite were obtained experimentally and by response surface methodology. With solid/liquid mass ratio of 1/100 and temperature of 30°C, the maximum static adsorption capacity of the Cu2O/palygorskite in model oil, which was composed of n‐octane and a single TSC at 400 mg S/L, showed an increase of 639% for thiophene, 543% for benzothiophene, and 563% for dibenzothiophene compared to palygorskite alone. In addition, the pseudo‐second‐order kinetic and Langmuir isotherm model exhibited the most fitting results for thiophene adsorbing on the composite, indicating that chemisorption on a monolayer basis plays a key role in the adsorption process. To sum up, these results suggest the composite has some potential in the field of adsorption‐desulfurization materials.

Published: October 2024

AbstractOptical imaging through scattering media has become important due to its fundamental physics interest and various applications. The reconstruction of a structured optical field with various states of polarization passing through a scattering medium with a speckle pattern behind the scattering medium remains challenging since existing restoring techniques only reconstruct the speckle in a single‐polarization state (scalar optical field). This work proposes a novel approach to simultaneously restore the initial orthogonally polarized components from a speckle pattern behind a scattering medium. The neural network Polarization‐DenseUnet (P‐DenseUnet) based on the vector transfer matrix is constructed to restore the two orthogonally linear (or circular) polarization components of a structured vector optical field from a speckle pattern behind the scattering medium. The generalization and effectiveness of this proposed method are tested for high fidelity with different phase distributions such as vortex, digits, and Fashion‐mnist.

AbstractThe parametric excitation of spin waves by coherent surface acoustic waves in metallic magnetic thin film structures is demonstrated experimentally using Brillouin light scattering spectroscopy. Complementary micromagnetic simulations and analytical modeling reveal that, depending on the experimental conditions, the spin‐wave instabilities originate from different phonon‐magnon and magnon‐magnon scattering processes. This opens novel ways to create micro‐scaled nonlinear magnonic systems for logic and data processing that profit from the efficient excitation of phonons using piezoelectricity.

Published: October 2024

AbstractA mild, regiospecific Gold‐Silver bimetallic catalytic system has been devised for the intramolecular hydroacyloxylation and hydroetherification of alkenoic acids and alcohols. This method exhibits precise specificity for the geminal substituted olefinic center and facilitates the synthesis of substituted phthalide and hydroisocoumarin derivatives. This method has been effectively applied for late‐state functionalization to produce bioactive natural products such as rumphellaone A, mycophenolate, and (−)‐ambrox. The successful gram‐scale synthesis of the anticonvulsant, hypnotic drug (±)‐ethyl phenyl butyro lactone (EPBL), (±)‐Boivinianin A and the ability to synthesize challenging spiro and bicyclic lactone underscores the synthetic potential of this methodology. Mechanistic insights into gold‐silver catalyzed lactonization of olefins have also been discussed.
How the USA can feasibly cut methane emissions 30% by 2030: anaerobic digestion of organic waste and various measures in oil and gas production
Authors: Lerner Michael Scott 
Published: October 2024

AbstractThe USA has committed to cutting its emissions of methane, an extremely potent greenhouse gas, by at least 30% by 2030 (‘30 × 30’). This is part of the Global Methane Pledge, signed by 155 countries, to keep global warming within 1.5 °C and thereby to forestall the disastrous effects of ‘runaway climate change’. It will be a major challenge for the USA to reach 30 × 30 and there is no consensus on how to do so. This paper provides a concrete, data‐driven roadmap to indicate how to reach 30 × 30 feasibly, focusing on two enormous sources of methane emissions: organic waste and oil and gas production. It calculates that building approximately 4700 anaerobic digesters (ADs) to process food waste and animal manure would cost about $74.2 billion in capital expenditure (capex) and cut 13.6% of total US methane emissions per year. On average, each project would take roughly 2–6 years to build. Of the various methane mitigation measures analyzed in the oil and gas sectors, the most impactful would be full compliance with the US Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA's) revised New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for oil and gas production by 2029. This would cut 17.5% of total US methane emissions annually, at a cumulative capex of $20.7 billion from 2024 to 2029. Together, the 13.6% cut from food waste and manure ADs and the 17.5% cut from full NSPS compliance would amount to a 31.5% reduction, exceeding the 30 × 30 goal. Greater clarity from the federal government on funding eligibility and additional incentives would accelerate the buildout of ADs.

Published: October 2024

Abstractl‐homoserine is an important platform compound of many valuable products. Construction of microbial cell factory for l‐homoserine production from glucose has attracted a great deal of attention. In this study, l‐homoserine biosynthesis pathway was divided into three modules, the glucose uptake and upstream pathway, the downstream pathway, and the energy supply module. Metabolomics of the chassis strain HS indicated that the supply of ATP was inadequate, therefore, the energy supply module was firstly modified. By balancing the ATP supply module, the l‐homoserine production increased by 66% to 12.55 g/L. Further, the results indicated that the upstream pathway was blocked, and increasing the culture temperature to 37°C could solve this problem and the l‐homoserine production reached 21.38 g/L. Then, the downstream synthesis pathways were further strengthened to balance the fluxes, and the l‐homoserine production reached the highest reported level of 32.55 g/L in shake flasks. Finally, fed‐batch fermentation in a 5‐L bioreactor was conducted, and l‐homoserine production could reach to 119.96 g/L after 92 h cultivation, with the yield of 0.41 g/g glucose and productivity of 1.31 g/L/h. The study provides a well research foundation for l‐homoserine production by microbial fermentation with the capacity for industrial application.
