Manipulating Zn2+ solvation environment in poly(propylene glycol)‐based aqueous Li+/Zn2+ electrolytes for high‐voltage hybrid ion batteries
Authors: Lu Hang , Zheng Sheng , Wei Lu , Zhang Xiaodong , Guo Xin 
Published: March 2023

AbstractCompared with aqueous single‐ion batteries, rechargeable aqueous hybrid ion batteries, especially Li+/Zn2+hybrid ion batteries, are receiving extensive interest owing to their low cost, high operating voltage, and energy density. However, their working voltage and lifespan are limited by the decomposition of water and the growth of Zn dendrites. Herein, detrimental side reactions induced by the water reduction and the Zn dendrite growth are successfully suppressed by a poly(propylene glycol) (PPG)‐based hybrid ion electrolyte [(1 m Zn(TFSI)2 + 10 m LiTFSI) in PPG/H2O]. The addition of PPG in the electrolyte can not only enhance the bonding strength of hydrogen‐bond in water but also tailor the solvation sheath of Zn2+ as revealed by synchrotron X‐rays. The participated solvation of PPG with Zn2+ can weaken Zn−H2O interactions and redistribute Zn2+ flux on the surface of the Zn anode, thus inducing favorably even deposition of Zn. In addition, the decomposition of TFSI− contributes a ZnF2 ‐enriched solid electrolyte interface at the Zn anode to further prevent water decomposition and restrain Zn dendrites. The PPG‐based electrolyte enables 2.1 V LiMnO2//Zn batteries to deliver high specific capacities (121.7 mAh g−1 for a coin cell and 90 mAh g−1 for a pouch cell), and maintain 80% of the capacity over 700 cycles at 0.5 C, suggesting a promising pathway for highly reversible aqueous hybrid ion batteries.

Published: March 2023

AbstractBoosting oxygen evolution reaction by local surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) provides breakthrough opportunities for the promotion of solar energy conversion; the potential of LSPR, however, has rarely been tapped and investigated. Here, we report the precise regulation of commercial Au nanoparticles plasmonic nanomaterial and OER electrocatalysts, viz., the NiCoOx electrocatalytic layer with hole transport ability and photothermal effect is prepared on the surface of Au nanoparticles by photoelectrodeposition. The NiCoOx layer not only increases the transmission distance of holes generated by plasmonic Au nanoparticles, but also reduce the agglomeration of plasmonic Au nanoparticles during long‐time OER reaction, which greatly improves the OER catalytic ability. The current density of NiCoOx/Au anode achieves 16.58 mA cm−2 at 2.0 V versus RHE, which is about 6.5 times of pristine NiCoOx anode (2.56 mA cm−2) and 47 times of pristine Au anode (0.35 mA cm−2). More importantly, with the LSPR and photothermal effect of plasmonic Au nanoparticles, the NiCoOx/Au anode provides additional current density of 7.01 mA cm−2 after illumination, and maintains no attenuation for more than 2000 s. Benefiting from the solution of agglomeration problem of plasmonic Au nanoparticles in the long‐time OER process and the effective utilization of generated holes of plasmonic Au nanoparticles, this design can provide guidance for the application of plasmonic materials in the field of electrocatalysis.
One, Two Three – Phosphaalkene Decoration Tailoring Solubility and Electronic Properties of Truxene‐Based Electron Acceptors
Authors: Shameem Muhammad Anwar , Wells Jordann A. L. , Gupta Arvind K. , Orthaber Andreas 
Published: March 2023

AbstractWe report the functionalization and deplanarization of truxenes using pnictaalkene fragments. Selective introduction of one, two, or three Mes*‐Pn fragments provides up to three fully reversible reductions based on the Pn=C fragments. The incorporation of the unsaturated heteroelement fragment as well as the contortion of the truxene core result in significantly red‐shifted absorption spectra and interesting opto‐electronic properties which are studied by electrochemistry and spectro‐electrochemistry. Incorporation of arsaalkene (As=C) motifs gives significantly milder reduction potentials and red‐shifted absorption, while phosphaalkene decorated truxene P3 can be functionalized using Au(I)Cl coordination. Furthermore, solubility is markedly increased upon incorporation of the Pn‐Mes* fragments which renders these materials suitable for solution processing.
Site‐selective Hydrogenation/Deuteration of Benzylic Olefins Enabled by Electroreduction Using Water
Authors: Kolb Simon , Werz Daniel B. 
Published: March 2023

AbstractWe describe an operationally simple and user‐friendly protocol that allows the site‐selective hydrogenation and deuteration of di‐, tri‐ and tetrasubstituted benzylic olefins by electroreduction while other groups prone to hydrogenation are present. The radical anionic intermediates react with the most inexpensive hydrogen/deuterium source H2O/D2O. Our method overcomes many limitations that arise from previously reported electroreductive hydrogenations. The applicability of this reaction is demonstrated by a broad substrate scope (>50 examples) that focuses on functional group tolerance and sites that are affected by metal‐catalyzed hydrogenation (alkenes, alkynes, protecting groups).
Diffusion coefficients and phase equilibria of carbon dioxide–ionic liquid, 1‐butyl‐3‐methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate ([bmim][PF6]) system
Authors: Sekerci‐Cetin Melek , Emek Omer Baris , Yildiz Emine Elif , Unlusu Betul 
Published: March 2023

AbstractThis article presents the mutual diffusion coefficients of a carbon dioxide–ionic liquid, [bmim][PF6], system at temperatures of 313.15 and 323.15 K and pressures of 5 and 8 MPa. In order to estimate the diffusion coefficients, we have carried out experiments to find time‐dependent carbon dioxide solubilities in the ionic liquid and then fit a transport model to the data. In a system containing high pressure carbon dioxide and ionic liquid, carbon dioxide dissolves in the liquid until its equilibrium mole fraction is reached. During this process, the position of the liquid–vapour interface and the density of the liquid phase change. To account for the variation in liquid density, an equation fit to the experimental density data is included in the transport model. To track the moving interface, the volume‐of‐fluid method is used. The diffusivities at dilute concentration and at thermodynamic phase equilibrium are determined and compared with the literature values and those obtained from correlations.

Published: March 2023

AbstractThe objective of the tandem hydroformylation‐hydrogenation of alkenes to corresponding alcohols was to design an efficient and stable heterogeneous catalyst. To this end, a series of novel heterogeneous graphitic carbon nitride (g‐CN) supported bimetallic Rh−Co nanoparticle catalysts (Rh−Co/g‐CN) were prepared and subsequently studied for this one‐pot two‐step reaction. The lamellar structure makes Rh and Co nanoparticles with diameters of <1 nm and 20 nm, respectively, homogeneously deposited on the surface of g‐CN layers, exhibit remarkable conversion of styrene (99.9 %) and chemoselectivity for alcohol (87.8 %). More importantly, Co nanoparticles are found to play an important role in the improvement of the chemoselectivity for alcohol due to the formation of catalytic active species [HCo(CO)y]. Besides the detailed investigation of the catalytic properties of Rh−Co/g‐CN under different reaction conditions, the reuse of Rh−Co/g‐CN was conducted for five times and no evident decrease in the activity and chemoselectivity was observed. Therefore, we expect that this work could offer an initial insight into g‐CN‐based heterogeneous catalyst on the tandem hydroformylation‐hydrogenation reaction.

Published: March 2023

AbstractTrio‐rapid genome sequencing (trio‐rGS) can assist the genetic diagnosis of critically ill infants given its ability to detect a broad range of pathogenic variants, as well as microbes, simultaneously with high efficiency. To achieve more comprehensive clinical diagnoses, it is essential to propose a recommended protocol in clinical practice. Here, we introduced an integrated pipeline to detect germline variants and microorganisms simultaneously from trio‐RGS in critically ill infants, which provides step‐by‐step criteria for the semi‐automatic processing procedures. With this pipeline in clinical application, only 1 ml of peripheral blood is needed for clinicians to provide both genetic and infectious causal information to a patient. The establishment and clinical practice of the method is of great significance for further mining of high‐throughput sequencing data and for assisting clinicians in promoting diagnosis efficiency and accuracy. © 2023 Wiley Periodicals LLC.Basic Protocol 1: Experimental pipeline for rapid whole‐genome sequencing for the simultaneous detection of germline variants and microorganismsBasic Protocol 2: Computational pipeline for rapid whole‐genome sequencing for the simultaneous detection of germline variants and microorganisms
Greenwashing behavior and firm value – From the perspective of board characteristics
Authors: Chen Pengyu , Dagestani Abd Alwahed 
Published: March 2023

AbstractWith increasing environmental pressures on companies, they are beginning to disclose corporate social responsibility reports actively. However, some studies point to greenwashing in corporate social reporting as a cause for concern. Our study aims to uncover the board's role in the relationship between greenwashing and firm value. Using a two‐way fixed effects model and a series of robustness tests, our findings suggest that greenwashing increases firm value. We introduce board diversity to answer the question of who is driving greenwashing behavior. Female directors, age diversity, educational background, and shareholder aggregation inhibit greenwashing behavior, while local directors and political connections promote this effect. Greenwashing increases firm value by improving the quality of disclosure, stakeholder concerns and alleviating financing constraints. Finally, greenwashing has greater economic performance for heavily polluting firms, firms audited by the Big 4 and firms with mandatory disclosure. This study provides rich empirical findings for boards and greenwashing behavior, offering novel theoretical insights to promote substantive CSR and board governance in developing countries such as China.

Published: March 2023

AbstractPolyethylene terephthalate (PET) is a non‐degradable single‐use plastic and a major component of plastic waste in landfills. Chemical recycling is one of the most widely adopted methods to transform post‐consumer PET into PET's building block chemicals. Non‐catalytic depolymerization of PET is very slow and requires high temperatures and/or pressures. Recent advancements in the field of material science and catalysis have delivered several innovative strategies to promote PET depolymerization under mild reaction conditions. Particularly, heterogeneous catalysts assisted depolymerization of post‐consumer PET to monomers and other value‐added chemicals is the most industrially compatible method. This review includes current progresses on the heterogeneously catalyzed chemical recycling of PET. It describes four key pathways for PET depolymerization including, glycolysis, pyrolysis, alcoholysis, and reductive depolymerization. The catalyst function, active sites and structure‐activity correlations are briefly outlined in each section. An outlook for future development is also presented.
Ghost rodents: Albinism in Australian rodent species

Published: March 2023

AbstractWhile almost half of all mammal species are rodents, records of albinism in free‐ranging rodents are very rare. Australia has a large and diverse assemblage of native rodent species, but there are no records of free‐ranging albino rodents in the published literature. In this study, we aim to improve our understanding of the occurrence of albinism in Australian rodent species by collating contemporary and historic records of this condition and providing an estimate of its frequency. We found 23 records of albinism (i.e., a complete loss of pigmentation), representing eight species, in free‐ranging rodents native to Australia, with the frequency of albinism being generally <0.1%. Our findings bring the total number of rodent species in which albinism has been recorded globally to 76. While native Australian species represent only 7.8% of the world's murid rodent diversity, they now account for 42.1% of murid rodent species known to exhibit albinism. We also identified multiple concurrent albino records from a small island population of rakali (Hydromys chrysogaster) and discuss the factors that may contribute to the relatively high frequency (2%) of the condition on this island. We suggest that the small number of native albino rodents recorded in mainland Australia over the last 100 years means that traits associated with the condition are likely deleterious within populations and are thus selected against.
Targeting epigenetic aberrations of sarcoma in CRISPR era
Authors: Tanaka Miwa , Nakamura Takuro 
Published: March 2023

AbstractSarcomas are rare malignancies that exhibit diverse biological, genetic, morphological, and clinical characteristics. Genetic alterations, such as gene fusions, mutations in transcriptional machinery components, histones, and DNA methylation regulatory molecules, play an essential role in sarcomagenesis. These mutations induce and/or cooperate with specific epigenetic aberrations required for the growth and maintenance of sarcomas. Appropriate mouse models have been developed to clarify the significance of genetic and epigenetic interactions in sarcomas. Studies using the mouse models for human sarcomas have demonstrated major advances in our understanding the developmental processes as well as tumor microenvironment of sarcomas. Recent technological progresses in epigenome editing will not only improve the studies using animal models but also provide a direct clue for epigenetic therapies. In this manuscript, we review important epigenetic aberrations in sarcomas and their representative mouse models, current methods of epigenetic editing using CRISPR/dCas9 systems, and potential applications in sarcoma studies and therapeutics.

AbstractObjectiveTo compare the efficacy of minimally invasive pectopexy with I‐stop‐mini (MPI) and minimally invasive sacrocolpopexy with Obtryx (MSO).MethodsWomen with pelvic organ prolapse quantification (POP‐Q) stage III or more and overt stress urinary incontinence from May 2018 to May 2021 were included. Patients with meshes fixed on the cervix or vaginal vault and bilateral pectineal ligament with I‐stop‐mini were classified into the MPI group, while those fixed on the apex and sacral promontory with Obtryx were classified into the MSO group. The primary outcomes were 1‐year‐postoperative POP‐Q stage, patient‐reported urinary and prolapse outcomes (Urogenital Distress Inventory‐6, International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire‐Short Form, and Pelvic Organ Prolapse Distress Inventory‐6), 1‐h pad test, and sexual life quality (Pelvic Organ Prolapse/Urinary Incontinence Sexual Questionnaire). Secondary outcomes included operative data and adverse events.ResultsThe efficacy of MPI was similar to that of MSO according to the primary outcomes. MPI had shorter operative times (133.4 ± 30.6 min versus 199.3 ± 20.9 min, P = 0.001) and lower incidence rate of abdominal pain (0% vs 20%, P = 0.02) and groin pain (8% vs 40%, P = 0.01) than MSO.ConclusionsMPI showed similar efficacy to MSO, but demonstrated shorter operative times and lower incidence rates of abdominal and groin pain.

AbstractObjectiveTo explore the factors related to cesarean scar pregnancy (CSP) treatment failure under different treatment strategies.MethodsThis is a cohort study that consecutively included 1637 patients with CSP. Characteristics including age, gravidity, parity, previous uterine curettages, time since the last cesarean section, gestational age, mean sac diameter, initial serum β‐human chorionic gonadotropin, distance between gestational sac and serosal layer, CSP subtype, classification of blood flow abundance, fetal heartbeat presence, and intraoperative bleeding were recorded. Four strategies were performed separately on these patients. Binary logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the risk factors for initial treatment failure (ITF) under the different treatment strategies.ResultsThe treatment methods failed in 75 CSP patients, and succeeded in 1298 patients. The analysis found that the presence of a fetal heartbeat was significantly associated with ITF of strategy 1, 2 and 4 (P < 0.05); sac diameter was associated with ITF of strategy 1 and 2 (P < 0.05); gestational age was associated with initial treatment failure of strategy 2 (P < 0.05).ConclusionThere was no difference of the failure rate between ultrasound‐guided evacuation and hysteroscopy‐guided evacuation for CSP treatment with or without uterine artery embolization pretreatment. Sac diameter, fetal heartbeat presence, and gestational age were all associated with CSP initial treatment failure.

Published: March 2023

AbstractIn October 2020, we were finally able to gather for a celebration of Eddy Fischer's 100th birthday. As with many other events, COVID had disrupted and restricted preparations for the gathering, which ultimately was held via ZOOM. Nevertheless, it was a wonderful opportunity to share a day with Eddy, an exceptional scientist and true renaissance man, and to appreciate his stellar contributions to science. Eddy Fischer, together with Ed Krebs, was responsible for the discovery of reversible protein phosphorylation, which launched the entire field of signal transduction. The importance of this seminal work is now being felt throughout the biotechnology industry with the development of drugs that target protein kinases, which have transformed the treatment of a wide array of cancers. I was privileged to have worked with Eddy both as a postdoc and a junior faculty member, during which time we laid the foundations for our current understanding of the protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTP) family of enzymes and their importance as critical regulators of signal transduction. This tribute to Eddy is based upon the talk I presented at the event, giving a personal perspective on Eddy's influence on my career, our early research efforts together in this area, and how the field has developed since then.

Published: March 2023

AbstractThe ongoing pandemic of COVID‐19 is intrinsically a systemic inflammatory disorder; hence, those patients suffering an underlying chronic inflammatory disease such as diabetes mellitus are at high risk of severe complications. Preventing or suppressing the inflammatory responses are of importance in diabetic patients. Sodium‐glucose cotransporters‐2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) are a newly introduced anti‐diabetic drugs that have hypoglycemic effects through the urinary excretion of glucose. They also have an anti‐inflammatory potential in diabetes patients, in addition to improving glycemic control, and while there is no direct data available in diabetic patients with COVID‐19 disease, there is evidence that suggests that SGLT2i can reduce systemic inflammation and diminish the cytokine storm effect via several cellular mechanisms. In the current review, our aim was to classify and describe the molecular and cellular pathways by which SGLT2i have anti‐inflammatory effects in diabetic patients with COVID‐19 disease.
