Abstract

The grain boundaries (GBs) in copper (Cu) electrocatalysts have been suggested as active sites for CO2 electroreduction to ethanol. Nevertheless, the mechanisms are still elusive. Herein, we describe how GBs tune the activity and selectivity for ethanol on two representative Cu-GB models, namely Cu∑3/(111) GB and Cu∑5/(100) GB, using joint first-principles calculations and experiments. The unique geometric structures on the GBs facilitate the adsorption of bidentate intermediates, *COOH and *CHO, which are crucial for CO2 activation and CO protonation. The decreased CO-CHO coupling barriers on the GBs can be rationalized via kinetics analysis. Furthermore, when introducing GBs into Cu (100), the product is selectively switched from ethylene to ethanol, due to the stabilization effect for *CH3CHO and inapposite geometric structure for *O adsorption, which are validated by experimental trends. An overall 12.5 A current and a single-pass conversion of 5.18% for ethanol can be achieved over the synthesized Cu-GB catalyst by scaling up the electrode into a 25 cm2 membrane electrode assembly system.

Abstract

Lung cancer (LC) is regarded as a fatal cancer, and insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF1) and its receptor (IGF1R) have been found to play a key role in regulating tumor glycolytic metabolism. The aim of this study is to investigate LC proliferation regulated by metabolite-mediated IGF1R lactylation. IGF1R was highly expressed in LC tissues and cells, and the effects of IGF1R on protein stability were inhibited by Lactate dehydrogenase A (LDHA) inhibition. Moreover, the tightness of IGF1R binding to IGF1 was also enhanced by exogenous lactic acid but suppressed by LDHA silencing, while cell viability and proliferation were promoted by over-expression of IGF1R. Exogenous lactic acid further exacerbated the effects of the IGF1R gene, while LDHA knocking down reduced the IGF1R-induced malignant behaviors. The IGF1R and exogenous lactic acid were also found to increase extracellular acidification rate (ECAR) and decrease oxygen consumption rate to regulate glycolysis, which was inhibited by LDHA deficiency in LC cells. The study concluded that IGF1R-mediated aggressive behaviors of LC cells were associated with higher levels of IGF1R lactylation. Moreover, lactic acid can improve the protein stability of the IGF1R oncogene, thus promoting glycolysis and generating lactic acid, forming a closed loop. Therefore, targeting IGF1R is envisaged to provide a novel strategy for developing therapeutic agents against LC.

Abstract

Heterogeneous catalysts, especially metal oxides, play a curial role in improving energy conversion efficiency and production of valuable chemicals. However, the surface structure at the atomic level and the nature of active sites are still ambiguous due to the dynamism of surface structure and difficulty in structure characterization under electrochemical conditions. This paper describes a strategy of the multiscale simulation to investigate the SnO x reduction process and to build a structure-performance relation of SnO x for CO2 electroreduction. Employing high-dimensional neural network potential accelerated molecular dynamics and stochastic surface walking global optimization, coupled with density functional theory calculations, we propose that SnO2 reduction is accompanied by surface reconstruction and charge density redistribution of active sites. A regulatory factor, the net charge, is identified to predict the adsorption capability for key intermediates on active sites. Systematic electronic analyses reveal the origin of the interaction between the adsorbates and the active sites. These findings uncover the quantitative correlation between electronic structure properties and the catalytic performance of SnO x so that Sn sites with moderate charge could achieve the optimally catalytic performance of the CO2 electroreduction to formate.

Abstract

Chestnut rose fruit, known as "Three King fruits", has high edible value and medicinal value. Polyphenols are the second major functional component of chestnut rose fruit with pharmacological and health functions such as antioxidant, regulation of glucose and lipid metabolism, anti-inflammatory and bacteriostatic, antialcoholism and liver protection, and have great potential for food development. This review summarized the research progress of the classification, extraction, qualitative and quantitative analysis, and bioactivity of chestnut rose fruit polyphenols in recent years and prospected the future development direction.
