Residents' environmental behavior in eco‐community development and its influencing factors: Evidence from Dongying City, Shandong Province in China
Authors: Wu Zhaoliang , Jin Min , Cao Hu 
Published: January 2024

AbstractEco‐community Development (ECD) is a specific embodiment of city sustainability and ecological civilization construction at local scale, and residents are one of the core stakeholders. They engage in ECD through various activities and their environmental behavior is the result of the interaction of “human” and “environment”. The main focus of this study is to measure residents' environmental behavior and explore its influencing factors. Previous studies have limited implications to measure residents' participation intensity and give less attention to explore the impact of “environment” factors on people's environmental behavior, especially the influence of situational factors. Public environmental facilities and activities (PEFA) are important supporting measures in communities and the main type of situational factors. In this context, we initially propose “Participation Intensity (PI)” to measure residents' environmental behavior from the processes of household lifestyle, consumption, recreation and social interaction. Then, we apply OLS regression model to analyze its determinants based on a questionnaire survey to 586 residents in Dongying City, Shandong Province in China. The findings show that residents' PI varies and PEFA are powerful predictors. Furthermore, residents' psychological factors, including concern and attitude to ECD and their satisfaction on the role of neighborhood committee, as well as socio‐demographic characteristics, including gender, education level and length of residence also play important roles on PI. Our study provides a new perspective for understanding residents' participation in community environmental governance and suggests useful references for promoting ECD.

AbstractHerein, for the first time, the bismuth telluride (Bi2Te3) nanoparticles functionalized graphene oxide (GO) were synthesized for the removal of nonylphenol (NP). The surface of the GO‐Bi2Te3 nanocomposite was modified by hyperbranched dendrimer and characterized by different spectroscopic and morphological techniques such as Fourier transform infrared (FT‐IR) spectroscopy, X‐ray diffraction (XRD), field‐emission scanning electron microscope (FE‐SEM), energy dispersive X‐ray spectroscopy (EDX), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). In this paper, to enhance the capacity, the surface of GO‐Bi2Te3@GlyTsCl dendrimer was modified by 5‐amino‐2‐hydroxybenzoic acid (5‐ASA). The effects of parameters on the removal of NP were also studied. This study reports the utilization of nanoadsorbent (GO‐Bi2Te3@GlyTsCl/5‐ASA) for the removal of NP by high‐performance liquid chromatography with fluorescence detector (HPLC‐FLD). Under optimal conditions, the removal values for the method were in the range of 90–96 %. Additionally, the Langmuir model was found to be fit with the isotherms data. The best kinetic model fit for the adsorption of NP from nanoadsorbent was the pseudo‐second‐order model. Moreover, GO‐Bi2Te3@GlyTsCl/5‐ASA nanoadsorbent exposed good reusability even after six consecutive cycles (from 100 % to 93 %) with high stability. Consequently, synthesized GO‐Bi2Te3@GlyTsCl/5‐ASA composites could be potentially used as an efficient nanoadsorbent for NP removal in water samples.

Published: January 2024

AbstractA mild, efficient and highly regioselective thiolation of indoles by sulfinyl amides via direct C−H functionalization is described. Sulfinyl amides could be reduced to thioethers and submitted as the thiolation reagents were developed. This reaction provides a useful method for the synthesis of 3‐indole thioethers and 2,3‐dithioindole derivatives. This mix‐and‐go approach also tolerates broad substrate scope and outstanding functional group compatibility. In addition, this preparation could be easily conducted on a gram scale with high efficiency.
Delineating the Effects of Transition‐Metal‐Ion Dissolution on Silicon Anodes in Lithium‐Ion Batteries
Authors: Torres Rudy Martin , Manthiram Arumugam 
Published: January 2024

AbstractSilicon anode is an appealing alternative to enhance the energy density of lithium‐ion batteries due to its high capacity, but it suffers from severe capacity fade caused by its fast degradation. The crossover of dissolved transition‐metal (TM) ions from the cathode to the anode is known to catalyze the decomposition of electrolyte on the graphite anode surface, but the relative impact of dissolved Mn2+ versus Ni2+ versus Co2+ on silicon anode remains to be delineated. Since all three TM ions can dissolve from LiNi1−x−yMnxCoyO2 (NMC) cathodes and migrate to the anode, here a LiFePO4 cathode is paired with SiOx anode and assess the impact by introducing a specific amount of Mn2+ or Ni2+ or Co2+ ions into the electrolyte. It is found that Mn2+ ions cause a much larger increase in SiOx electrode thickness during cycling due to increased electrolyte decomposition and solid–electrolyte interphase (SEI) formation compared to Ni2+ and Co2+ ions, similar to previous findings with graphite anode. However, with a lower impedance, the SEI formed with Mn2+ protects the Si anode from excessive degradation compared to that with Co2+ or Ni2+ ions. Thus, Mn2+ ions have a less detrimental effect on Si anodes than Co2+ or Ni2+ ions, which is the opposite of that seen with graphite anodes.

AbstractLow‐cost bifunctional electrocatalysts capable of efficiently driving the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) are needed for the growth of a green hydrogen economy. Herein, a Ru/Co3O4 heterojunction catalyst rich in oxygen vacancies (VO) and supported on carbon cloth (RCO‐VO@CC) is prepared via a solid phase reaction (SPR) strategy. A RuO2/Co9S8@CC precursor (ROC@CC) is first prepared by loading Co9S8 nanosheets onto CC, following the addition of RuO2 nanoparticles (NPs). After the SPR process in an Ar atmosphere, Ru/Co3O4 heterojunctions with abundant VO are formed on the CC. The compositionally optimized RCO‐VO@CC electrocatalyst with a Ru content of 0.55 wt.% exhibits very low overpotential values of 11 and 253 mV at 10 mA cm−2 for HER and OER, respectively, in 1 m KOH. Further, a low cell voltage of only 1.49 V is required to achieve a current density of 10 mA cm−2. Density functional theoretical calculations verify that the outstanding bifunctional electrocatalytic performance originates from synergistic charge transfer between Ru metal and VO‐rich Co3O4. This work reports a novel approach toward a high‐efficiency HER/OER electrocatalyst for energy storage and conversion.

Published: January 2024

AbstractIn recent years, carbon nitride (CN) has attracted substantial attention in the field of electrochemiluminescence (ECL) applications, owing to its outstanding optical and electronic properties. However, the passivation of CN during the ECL process has contributed to reduced stability and poor repeatability. While some studies have tried to boost ECL performance by altering CN through doping and vacancies, effectively suppressing CN passivation at high potentials continues to be challenge. In this study, the built‐in electric field and the Schottky barrier effect is used to expedite the transfer of electrons from CN to the molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) conduction band. This transfer deterred excessive electron injection into the CN band, thus mitigating its electrochemical degradation. Moreover, by introducing nickel nanoparticles (Ni NPs) as catalytic active sites, it is facilitated that the decomposition of potassium persulfate (K2S2O8), thereby enhancing both the stability and intensity of ECL emission. In the end, the application of ternary heterostructure as sensing platform for the cancer biomarker carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) demonstrated high sensitivity. This research introduces a novel approach to overcome CN passivation, paving the way for more promising applications of CN in energy, environmental, and biosensing fields.

AbstractSynthesis of covalent organic framework nanosheets (CONs) with high aspect ratio is crucial to their assembly into advanced membranes. Nonetheless, the π‐π stacking between covalent organic framework (COF) layers often leads to thick CONs. Herein, inspired by biomineralization process, a series of aspect ratio CONs >15 000 is synthesized by multifunctional polyelectrolytes which not only provide the nucleation sites for pre‐assembly with COF monomer, but also suppress π‐π interaction for anisotropic growth through protonation. The membrane assembled from CONs exhibited water permeance of 341 kg m−2 h−1 and salt rejection of 99.5% in desalination, outperforming ever‐reported membranes. This method establishes a platform for the synthesis of crystalline nanosheets.

AbstractDevelopment of robust electrocatalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) underpins the efficient production of green hydrogen via anion exchange membrane water electrolysis (AEMWE). This study elucidates the factors contributing to the degradation of cobalt‐based (Co‐based) OER catalysts synthesized via electrodeposition, thus establishing strategic approaches to enhance their longevity. Systematic variations in the electroplating process and subsequent heat treatment reveal a delicate balance between catalytic activity and durability, substantiated by comprehensive electrochemical assessments and material analyses. Building upon these findings, the Co‐based anode is successfully optimized in the AEMWE single‐cell configuration, showcasing an average degradation rate of 0.07 mV h−1 over a continuous operation for 1500 h at a current density of 1 A cm−2.

Published: January 2024

AbstractAlthough DNA probes have attracted increasing interest for precise tumor cell identification by imaging intracellular biomarkers, the requirement of commercial transfection reagents, limited targeting ligands, and/or non‐biocompatible inorganic nanostructures has hampered the clinic translation. To circumvent these shortcomings, a reconfigurable ES‐NC (Na+‐dependent DNAzyme (E)‐based substrate (S) cleavage core/shell DNA nanocluster (NC)) entirely from DNA strands is assembled for precise imaging of cancerous cells in a successive dual‐stimuli‐responsive manner. This nanoprobe is composed of a strung DNA tetrahedral satellites‐based protective (DTP) shell, parallelly aligned target‐responsive sensing (PTS) interlayer, and hydrophobic cholesterol‐packed innermost layer (HCI core). Tetrahedral axial rotation‐activated reconfiguration of DTP shell promotes the exposure of interior hydrophobic moieties, enabling cholesterol‐mediated cellular internalization without auxiliary elements. Within cells, over‐expressed glutathione triggers the disassembly of the DTP protective shell (first stimulus), facilitating target‐stimulated signal transduction/amplification process (second stimuli). Target miRNA‐21 is detected down to 10.6 fM without interference from coexisting miRNAs. Compared with transfection reagent‐mediated counterpart, ES‐NC displays a higher imaging ability, resists nuclease degradation, and has no detectable damage to healthy cells. The blind test demonstrates that the ES‐NC is suitable for the identification of cancerous cells from healthy cells, indicating a promising tool for early diagnosis and prediction of cancer.

AbstractDouble‐atom site catalysts (DASs) have emerged as a recent trend in the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), thereby modifying the intermediate adsorption energies and increasing the activity. However, the lack of an efficient dual atom site to improve activity and durability has limited these catalysts from widespread application. Herein, the nitrogen‐coordinated iron and tin‐based DASs (Fe‐Sn‐N/C) catalyst are synthesized for ORR. This catalyst has a high activity with ORR half‐wave potentials (E1/2) of 0.92 V in alkaline, which is higher than those of the state‐of‐the‐art Pt/C (E1/2 = 0.83 V), Fe‐N/C (E1/2 = 0.83 V), and Sn‐N/C (E1/2 = 0.77 V). Scanning electron transmission microscopy analysis confirmed the atomically distributed Fe and Sn sites on the N‐doped carbon network. X‐ray absorption spectroscopy analysis revealed the charge transfer between Fe and Sn. Both experimental and theoretical results indicate that the Sn with Fe‐NC (Fe‐Sn‐N/C) induces charge redistribution, weakening the binding strength of oxygenated intermediates and leading to improved ORR activity. This study provides the synergistic effects of DASs catalysts and addresses the impacts of P‐block elements on d‐block transition metals in ORR.

AbstractThe growing population and societal consumption patterns associated with unsustainable production routes have increased pollution levels. Because of the environmental pollution caused by petroleum‐derived plastics, it has become critical to develop an alternative biopolymer‐based biodegradable plastic for long‐term sustainability. Biopolymers are eco‐friendly due to their nontoxicity, biodegradability, stability, biocompatibility, rheological, and thermal properties. However, these polymers' production methods have hindered their progress toward a bright future of sustainable production and growth. Therefore, improved formulations and tactics are needed to develop new approaches. A range of methods for application in industry can transform Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs). Due to its affordability and simplicity of use, blending is regarded as one of the most successful methods. It has various uses, from absorbable sutures to biomedical implants and ecologically friendly resins, and useful applications in food packaging. Starch is a highly economical raw material and can be processed as an affordable substrate for innovative biodegradable polymers. In contrast to lowering water vapor and oxygen permeability, the addition of cross‐linking agents to starch/PHA blends increases thermal stability, elasticity, and compatibility between the starch and PHA molecules in the films. This review focuses on the synthesis, physicochemical properties, and application of PHA‐starch blends in the food industry.

AbstractBackgroundSwallowed topical corticosteroids (tC) are common therapy for patients with eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Widely heterogeneous results have occurred due to their active ingredients, formulations and doses.ObjectiveTo assess the effectiveness of topical corticosteroid therapy for EoE in real‐world practice.MethodsCross‐sectional study analysis of the multicentre EoE CONNECT registry. Clinical remission was defined as a decrease of ≥50% in dysphagia symptom scores; histological remission was defined as a peak eosinophil count below 15 per high‐power field. The effectiveness in achieving clinico‐histological remission (CHR) was compared for the main tC formulations.ResultsOverall, data on 1456 prescriptions of tC in monotherapy used in 866 individual patients were assessed. Of those, 904 prescriptions with data on formulation were employed for the induction of remission; 234 reduced a previously effective dose for maintenance. Fluticasone propionate formulations dominated the first‐line treatment, while budesonide was more common in later therapies. A swallowed nasal drop suspension was the most common formulation of fluticasone propionate. Doses ≥0.8 mg/day provided a 65% CHR rate and were superior to lower doses. Oral viscous solution prepared by a pharmacist was the most common prescription of budesonide; 4 mg/day provided no benefit over 2 mg/day (CHR rated being 72% and 80%, respectively). A multivariate analysis revealed budesonide orodispersible tablets as the most effective therapy (OR 18.9, p < 0.001); use of higher doses (OR 4.3, p = 0.03) and lower symptom scores (OR 0.9, p = 0.01) were also determinants of effectiveness.ConclusionReduced symptom severity, use of high doses, and use of budesonide orodispersible tablets particularly were all independent predictors of tC effectiveness.
An ultra high‐throughput, massively multiplexable, single‐cell RNA‐seq platform in yeasts

Published: January 2024

AbstractYeasts are naturally diverse, genetically tractable, and easy to grow such that researchers can investigate any number of genotypes, environments, or interactions thereof. However, studies of yeast transcriptomes have been limited by the processing capabilities of traditional RNA sequencing techniques. Here we optimize a powerful, high‐throughput single‐cell RNA sequencing (scRNAseq) platform, SPLiT‐seq (Split Pool Ligation‐based Transcriptome sequencing), for yeasts and apply it to 43,388 cells of multiple species and ploidies. This platform utilizes a combinatorial barcoding strategy to enable massively parallel RNA sequencing of hundreds of yeast genotypes or growth conditions at once. This method can be applied to most species or strains of yeast for a fraction of the cost of traditional scRNAseq approaches. Thus, our technology permits researchers to leverage “the awesome power of yeast” by allowing us to survey the transcriptome of hundreds of strains and environments in a short period of time and with no specialized equipment. The key to this method is that sequential barcodes are probabilistically appended to cDNA copies of RNA while the molecules remain trapped inside of each cell. Thus, the transcriptome of each cell is labeled with a unique combination of barcodes. Since SPLiT‐seq uses the cell membrane as a container for this reaction, many cells can be processed together without the need to physically isolate them from one another in separate wells or droplets. Further, the first barcode in the sequence can be chosen intentionally to identify samples from different environments or genetic backgrounds, enabling multiplexing of hundreds of unique perturbations in a single experiment. In addition to greater multiplexing capabilities, our method also facilitates a deeper investigation of biological heterogeneity, given its single‐cell nature. For example, in the data presented here, we detect transcriptionally distinct cell states related to cell cycle, ploidy, metabolic strategies, and so forth, all within clonal yeast populations grown in the same environment. Hence, our technology has two obvious and impactful applications for yeast research: the first is the general study of transcriptional phenotypes across many strains and environments, and the second is investigating cell‐to‐cell heterogeneity across the entire transcriptome.
More accurate $$ \sigma \left(\mathcal{GG}\to h\right),\Gamma \left(h\to \mathcal{GG},\mathcal{AA},\overline{\Psi}\Psi \right) $$ and Higgs width results via the geoSMEFT

AbstractWe develop Standard Model Effective Field Theory (SMEFT) predictions ofσ($$ \mathcal{GG} $$GG→h), Γ(h→$$ \mathcal{GG} $$GG), Γ(h→$$ \mathcal{AA} $$AA) to incorporate full two loop Standard Model results at the amplitude level, in conjunction with dimension eight SMEFT corrections. We simultaneously report consistent Γ(h→$$ \overline{\Psi}\Psi $$Ψ¯Ψ) results including leading QCD corrections and dimension eight SMEFT corrections. This extends the predictions of the former processes Γ, σto a full set of corrections at$$ \mathcal{O}\left({\overline{v}}_T^2/{\varLambda}^2{\left(16{\pi}^2\right)}^2\right) $$Ov¯T2/Λ216π22and$$ \mathcal{O}\left({\overline{v}}_T^4/{\Lambda}^4\right) $$Ov¯T4/Λ4, where$$ {\overline{v}}_T $$v¯Tis the electroweak scale vacuum expectation value and Λ is the cut off scale of the SMEFT. Throughout, cross consistency between the operator and loop expansions is maintained by the use of the geometric SMEFT formalism. For Γ(h→$$ \overline{\Psi}\Psi $$Ψ¯Ψ), we include results at$$ \mathcal{O}\left({\overline{v}}_T^2/{\Lambda}^2\left(16{\pi}^2\right)\right) $$Ov¯T2/Λ216π2in the limit where subleadingmΨ→ 0 corrections are neglected. We clarify how gauge invariant SMEFT renormalization counterterms combine with the Standard Model counter terms in higher order SMEFT calculations when the Background Field Method is used. We also update the prediction of the total Higgs width in the SMEFT to consistently include some of these higher order perturbative effects.
