文摘Ribonucleic acid(RNA)structures and dynamics play a crucial role in elucidating RNA functions and facilitating the design of drugs targeting RNA and RNA-protein complexes.However,obtaining RNA structures using conventional biophysical techniques,such as Xray crystallography and solution nuclear magnetic resonance(NMR),presents challenges due to the inherent flexibility and susceptibility to degradation of RNA.In recent years,solid-state NMR(SSNMR)has rapidly emerged as a promising alternative technique for characterizing RNA structure and dynamics.SSNMR has several distinct advantages,including flexibility in sample states,the ability to capture dynamic features of RNA in solid form,and suitability to character RNAs in various sizes.Recent decade witnessed the growth of ^(1)H-detected SSNMR methods on RNA,which targeted elucidating RNA topology and base pair dynamics in solid state.They have been applied to determine the topology of RNA segment in human immunodeficiency virus(HIV)genome and the base pair dynamics of riboswitch RNA.These advancements have expanded the utility of SSNMR techniques within the RNA research field.This review provides a comprehensive discussion of recent progress in ^(1)H-detected SSNMR investigations into RNA structure and dynamics.We focus on the established ^(1)H-detected SSNMR methods,sample preparation protocols,and the implementation of rapid data acquisition approaches.

文摘In recent years,aqueous aluminum ion batteries have been widely studied owing to their abundant energy storage and high theo retical capacity.An in-depth study of vanadium oxide materials is necessary to address the precipitation of insoluble products covered cathode surface and the slow reaction kinetics.Therefore,a method using a simple one-step hydrothermal preparation and oxalic acid to regulate oxygen vacancies has been reported.A high starting capacity(400 mAh g^(-1))can be achieved by Ov-V2O5,and it is capable of undergoing 200 cycles at 0.4 A g^(-1),with a termination discharge capacity of103 mAh g^(-1).Mechanism analysis demonstrated that metastable structures(AlxV2O5and HxV2O5)were constructed through the insertion of Al^(3+)/H^(+)during discharging,which existed in the lattice intercalation with V2O5.The incorporation of oxygen vacancies lowers the reaction energy barrier while improving the ion transport efficiency.In addition,the metastable structure allows the electrostatic interaction between Al3+and the main backbone to establish protection and optimize the transport channel.In parallel,this work exploits ex-situ characterization and DFT to obtain a profound insight into the instrumental effect of oxygen vacancies in the construction of metastable structures during in-situ electrochemical activation,with a view to better understanding the mechanism of the synergistic participation of Al3+and H+in the reaction.This work not only reports a method for cathode materials to modulate oxygen vacancies,but also lays the foundation for a deeper understanding of the metastable structure of vanadium oxides.

文摘The compression and energy absorption properties of foam geopolymers increase stress wave attenuation under explosion impacts,reducing the vibration effect on the structure.Explosion tests were conducted using several composite structure models,including a concrete lining structure(CLS)without foam geopolymer and six foam geopolymer composite structures(FGCS)with different backfill parameters,to study the dynamic response and wave dissipation mechanisms of FGCS under explosive loading.Pressure,strain,and vibration responses at different locations were synchronously tested.The damage modes and dynamic responses of different models were compared,and how wave elimination and energy absorption efficiencies were affected by foam geopolymer backfill parameters was analyzed.The results showed that the foam geopolymer absorbed and dissipated the impact energy through continuous compressive deformation under high strain rates and dynamic loading,reducing the strain in the liner structure by 52%and increasing the pressure attenuation rate by 28%.Additionally,the foam geopolymer backfill reduced structural vibration and liner deformation,with the FGCS structure showing 35%less displacement and 70%less acceleration compared to the CLS.The FGCS model with thicker,less dense foam geopolymer backfill,having more pores and higher porosity,demonstrated better compression and energy absorption under dynamic impact,increasing stress wave attenuation efficiency.By analyzing the stress wave propagation and the compression characteristics of the porous medium,it was concluded that the stress transfer ratio of FGCS-ρ-579 was 77%lower than that of CLS,and the transmitted wave energy was 90%lower.The results of this study provide a scientific basis for optimizing underground composite structure interlayer parameters.

文摘High-mobility semiconductor nanotubes have demonstrated great potential for applications in high-speed transistors,single-charge detection,and memory devices.Here we systematically investigated the electronic properties of single-walled boron antimonide(BSb)nanotubes using first-principles calculations.We observed that rolling the hexagonal boron antimonide monolayer into armchair(ANT)and zigzag(ZNT)nanotubes induces compression and wrinkling effects,significantly modifying the band structures and carrier mobilities through band folding andπ^(*)-σ^(*)hybridization.As the chiral index increases,the band gap and carrier mobility of ANTs decrease monotonically,where electron mobility consistently exceeds hole mobility.In contrast,ZNTs exhibit a more complex trend:the band gap first increases and then decreases,and the carrier mobility displays oscillatory behavior.In particular,both ANTs and ZNTs could exhibit significantly higher carrier mobilities compared to hexagonal monolayer and zinc-blende BSb,reaching 10^(-3)-10^(-7) cm^(-2)·V^(-1)·s^(-1).Our findings highlight strong curvature-induced modifications in the electronic properties of single-walled BSb nanotubes,demonstrating the latter as a promising candidate for high-performance electronic devices.

文摘Novel ordered intermetallic compounds have stimulated much interest.Ru–Al alloys are a prominent class of hightemperature structural materials,but the experimentally reported crystal structure of the intermetallic Ru_(2)Al_(5) phase remains elusive and debatable.To resolve this controversy,we extensively explored the crystal structures of Ru_(2)Al_(5) using first-principles calculations combined with crystal structure prediction technique.Among the calculated x-ray diffraction patterns and lattice parameters of five candidate Ru2Al5structures,those of the orthorhombic Pmmn structure best aligned with recent experimental results.The structural stabilities of the five Ru_(2)Al_(5)structures were confirmed through formation energy,elastic constants,and phonon spectrum calculations.We also comprehensively analyzed the mechanical and electronic properties of the five candidates.This work can guide the exploration of novel ordered intermetallic compounds in Ru–Al alloys.

文摘Ecological stoichiometry plays an important role in revealing the mechanisms underlying biogeochemical cycles and ecosystem functions.Abiotic factors have strong effects on N-P stoichiometry,yet the impact of plant community structure,especially in forests,has not been fully elucidated.We investigated 68 plots in larch forests in northern China to explore how plant community structure and environmental factors affect the N-P stoichiometry of soil and leaves.The results showed significant differences in soil and leaf N-P stoichiometry among the three larch forests,P concentration and N:P ratio of leaves were significantly related to those of soil.Except for larch forest type,N-P stoichiometry was also regulated by elevation,climatic factors,and community structure.With increasing age(from 25 to 236 years),soil N and N:P ratio significantly increased,especially in the topsoil.With increasing mean DBH,leaf N concentration and N:P ratio also increased,indicating a shift in nutrient limitations with stand growth.These findings provide evidence that plant community structure and environmental factors regulate soil and leaf N-P stoichiometry,which is critically important for understanding biogeochemical cycles and forest management undergoing natural succession.

文摘Understanding the evolution of microstructures in nuclear fuels under high-burn-up conditions is critical for extending fuel refueling cycles and enhancing nuclear reactor safety.In this study,a phase-field model is proposed to examine the evolution of high-burn-up structures in polycrystalline UO_(2).The formation and growth of recrystallized grains were initially investigated.It was demonstrated that recrystallization kinetics adhere to the Kolmogorov–Johnson–Mehl–Avrami(KJMA)equation,and that recrystallization represents a process of free-energy reduction.Subsequently,the microstructural evolution in UO_(2) was analyzed as the burn up increased.Gas bubbles acted as additional nucleation sites,thereby augmenting the recrystallization kinetics,whereas the presence of recrystallized grains accelerated bubble growth by increasing the number of grain boundaries.The observed variations in the recrystallization kinetics and porosity with burn-up closely align with experimental findings.Furthermore,the influence of grain size on microstructure evolution was investigated.Larger grain sizes were found to decrease porosity and the occurrence of high-burn-up structures.

文摘The high activity and stability of intermetallic PtCo nanocatalysts toward oxygen reduction reaction make them a top candidate as low-Pt cathode catalysts in proton exchange membrane fuel cells(PEMFCs).However,forming intermetallic structures typically requires high-temperature annealing,posing a challenge for achieving well-size control and highly ordered structures.Here we report the design and synthesis of bimetallic co re@shell structured precursors for affording high-performance intermetallic PtCo catalysts.The fabrication of the core@shell precursor involves using a molecular ligand containing both sulfur and oxygen donors to selectively bind with Pt colloidal nanoparticles as the core and chelate Co ions as the shell.During high-temperature annealing,the ligand transforms into carbon coatings around alloy nanoparticles,preventing particle sintering;meanwhile,Co ions in the shell can easily diffuse into the Pt core,which helps to increase the thermodynamic driving force for forming intermetallic structures.These benefits enable us to obtain the catalyst with finely dispersed nanoparticles(~3.5 nm)and a high ordering degree of 72%.With 0.1 mgPt/cm^(2)cathode loading,the catalyst delivers superior performance and durability in PEMFCs,showing an initial mass activity of 0.56 A/mgPt,an initial power density of 1.05 W/cm^(2)at 0.67 V(H_(2)-air),and a voltage loss of 26 mV at 0.8 A/cm^(2)after the accelerated durability test.

文摘The electronic structure,elasticity,and magnetic properties of the Mn_(2)XIn(X=Fe,Co)full-Heusler compounds are comprehensively investigated via first-principles calculations.The calculated elastic constants indicate that both Mn_(2)FeIn and Mn_(2)Co In possess ductility.At the optimal lattice constants,the magnetic moments are found to be 1.40μB/f.u.for Mn_(2)FeIn and 1.69μB/f.u.for Mn_(2)CoIn.Under the biaxial strain ranging from-2%to 5%,Mn_(2)FeIn demonstrates a remarkable variation in the spin polarization,spanning from-2%to 74%,positioning it as a promising candidate for applications in spintronic devices.Analysis of the electronic structure reveals that the change in spin polarization under strain is due to the shift of the spin-down states at the Fermi surface.Additionally,under biaxial strain,the magnetic anisotropy of Mn_(2)FeIn undergoes a transition of easy-axis direction.Utilizing second-order perturbation theory and electronic structure analysis,the variation in magnetic anisotropy with strain can be attributed to changes of d-orbital states near the Fermi surface.

文摘The microstructure design for thermal conduction pathways in polymeric electrical encapsulation materials is essential to meet the stringent requirements for efficient thermal management and thermal runaway safety in modern electronic devices.Hence,a composite with three-dimensional network(Ho/U-BNNS/WPU)is developed by simultaneously incorporating magnetically modified boron nitride nanosheets(M@BNNS)and non-magnetic organo-grafted BNNS(U-BNNS)into waterborne polyurethane(WPU)to synchronous molding under a horizontal magnetic field.The results indicate that the continuous in-plane pathways formed by M@BNNS aligned along the magnetic field direction,combined with the bridging structure established by U-BNNS,enable Ho/U-BNNS/WPU to exhibit exceptional in-plane(λ//)and through-plane thermal conductivities(λ_(⊥)).In particular,with the addition of 30 wt%M@BNNS and 5 wt%U-BNNS,theλ//andλ_(⊥)of composites reach 11.47 and 2.88 W m^(-1) K^(-1),respectively,which representing a 194.2%improvement inλ_(⊥)compared to the composites with a single orientation of M@BNNS.Meanwhile,Ho/U-BNNS/WPU exhibits distinguished thermal management capabilities as thermal interface materials for LED and chips.The composites also demonstrate excellent flame retardancy,with a peak heat release and total heat release reduced by 58.9%and 36.9%,respectively,compared to WPU.Thus,this work offers new insights into the thermally conductive structural design and efficient flame-retardant systems of polymer composites,presenting broad application potential in electronic packaging fields.

文摘Forest structure is fundamental in determining ecosystem function,yet the impact of bamboo invasion on these structural characteristics remains unclear.We investigated 219 invasion transects at 41 sites across the distribution areas of Moso bamboo(Phyllostachys edulis)in China to explore the effects of bamboo invasion on forest structural attributes and diameter–height allometries by comparing paired plots of bamboo,mixed bamboo-tree,and non-bamboo forests along the transects.We found that bamboo invasion decreased the mean and maximum diameter at breast height,maximum height,and total basal area,but increased the mean height,stem density,and scaling exponent for stands.Bamboo also had a higher scaling exponent than tree,particularly in mixed forests,suggesting a greater allocation of biomass to height growth.As invasion intensity increased,bamboo allometry became more plastic and decreased significantly,whereas tree allometry was indirectly promoted by increasing stem density.Additionally,a humid climate may favour the scaling exponents for both bamboo and tree,with only minor contributions from topsoil moisture and nitrogen content.The inherent superiority of diameter–height allometry allows bamboo to outcompete tree and contributes to its invasive success.Our findings provide a theoretical basis for understanding the causes and consequences of bamboo invasion.
