    Yolk–Satellite–Shell Structured Ni–Yolk@Ni@SiO<sub>2</sub> Nanocomposite: Superb Catalyst toward Methane CO<sub>2</sub> Reforming Reaction

    The CO<sub>2</sub> (dry) reforming of methane (DRM) reaction is an environmentally benign process to convert two major greenhouse gases into synthesis gas for chemical and fuel production. A great challenge for this process involves developing catalysts with high carbon resistance abilities. Herein we synthesize, for the first time, a yolk–satellite–shell structured Ni–yolk@Ni@SiO<sub>2</sub> nanocomposite for the DRM reaction by varying the shell thickness of Ni@SiO<sub>2</sub> core shell nanoparticles. The formation of Ni–yolk@Ni@SiO<sub>2</sub> is proved to be shell thickness dependent. Compared with Ni@SiO<sub>2</sub>, Ni–yolk@Ni@SiO<sub>2</sub> with 11.2 nm silica shell thickness shows stable and near equilibrium conversion for CH<sub>4</sub> and CO<sub>2</sub> for 90 h at 800 °C with negligible carbon deposition. The dual effects of formation of small satellite Ni particles due to strong Ni–SiO<sub>2</sub> interactions and yolk shell structures contribute to its high activity and stability. These findings shed light on the design of other metal yolk silica shell nanocomposites to be utilized in renewable energy transfer processes such as DRM reactions driven by solar energy

    Identifying river changes by river pattern events: a case study of the Lower Yellow River, China

    No full text
    Accurate and timely detection of river change attaches importance to regional ecological security. Since river change is a complex and dynamic process, there are difficulties to describe it properly. Inspired by geographic events research, river pattern events are innovatively proposed to quantify river change process, combining multi-dimensional information thoroughly. First, inter- and intra- events are defined by comparing typologies changes of river patterns. Afterwards, a river pattern events model (RPEM), integrating "Event types-Spatial locations-River patterns-Morphological features-Hydrological attributes", was proposed to maximally characterize river change process. River pattern events were detected using the object increment difference (OID), and were interpreted as the semantic information in realistic rivers. Experimental results in the Lower Yellow River (LYR) demonstrated that the proposed method achieves good performance in assessing the morphological and hydrological change process. River pattern events are expected to support rapid detection and dynamic analysis of regional and global river change.</p

    Reveal and Control of Chiral Cathodoluminescence at Subnanoscale

    Circularly polarized light is crucial for the modern physics research. Highly integrated nanophotonic device further requires the control of circularly polarized light at subnanoscale. Here, we report the tuning of chiral cathodoluminescence (CL) on single Au nanostructure under electron stimulation. The detected CL helicity is found ultrasensitive with the electron impinging position on the structure, and a helicity switch is achieved within a 1.86 nm electron-beam movement, which is applied to construct ternary notation sequence. The proposed configuration provides a delicate platform for the CL helicity control, which opens a way for the future chiral applications at subnanoscale like information coding and quantum communication

    Synthesis of Aminomethylpyridine-Decorated Polyamidoamine Dendrimer/Apple Residue for the Efficient Capture of Cd(II)

    Water contamination irritated by Cd(II) brings about severe damage to the ecosystem and to human health. The decontamination of Cd(II) by the adsorption method is a promising technology. Here, we construct aminomethylpyridine-functionalized polyamidoamine (PAMAM) dendrimer/apple residue biosorbents (AP-G1.0-AMP and AP-G2.0-AMP) for adsorbing Cd(II) from aqueous solution. The adsorption behaviors of the biosorbents for Cd(II) were comprehensively evaluated. The maximum adsorption capacities of AP-G1.0-AMP and AP-G2.0-AMP for Cd(II) are 1.40 and 1.44 mmol·g–1 at pH 6. The adsorption process for Cd(II) is swift and can reach equilibrium after 120 min. The film diffusion process dominates the adsorption kinetics, and a pseudo-second-order model is appropriate to depict this process. The uptake of Cd(II) can be promoted by increasing concentration and temperature. The adsorption isotherm follows the Langmuir model with a chemisorption mechanism. The biosorbents also display satisfied adsorption for Cd(II) in real aqueous media. The adsorption mechanism indicates that C–N, NC, C–O, CONH, N–H, and O–H groups participate in the adsorption for Cd(II). The biosorbents display a good regeneration property and can be reused with practical value. The as-prepared biosorbents show great potential for removing Cd(II) from water solutions with remarkable significance

    Chicken lung is an important target organ of avian influenza virus (AIV) infection, and different pathogenic virus strains lead to opposite prognosis. Using a single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) assay, we systematically and sequentially analyzed the transcriptome of 16 cell types (19 clusters) in the lung tissue of chickens infected with H5N1 highly pathogenic avian influenza virus (HPAIV) and H9N2 low pathogenic avian influenza virus (LPAIV), respectively. Notably, we developed a valuable catalog of marker genes for these cell types. Compared to H9N2 AIV infection, H5N1 AIV infection induced extensive virus replication and the immune reaction across most cell types simultaneously. More importantly, we propose that infiltrating inflammatory macrophages (clusters 0, 1, and 14) with massive viral replication, pro-inflammatory cytokines (IFN-β, IL1β, IL6 and IL8), and emerging interaction of various cell populations through CCL4, CCL19 and CXCL13, potentially contributed to the H5N1 AIV driven inflammatory lung injury. Our data revealed complex but distinct immune response landscapes in the lung tissue of chickens after H5N1 and H9N2 AIV infection, and deciphered the potential mechanisms underlying AIV-driven inflammatory reactions in chicken. Furthermore, this article provides a rich database for the molecular basis of different cell-type responses to AIV infection.</div
