As exemplified by the extreme cold weather hitting central China and causing great economic losses in 2018, as well 2021 Texas power crisis involving more than 4.5 million homes businesses United States owing to frosting/icing, anti-frosting/anti-icing has been a long-standing challenge modern society. Over past decade, various approaches have used achieve anti-frosting, including active passive approaches. Given that anti-frosting strategies are inefficient, energy consuming, ponderous,...
Abstract As the most common but indispensable matter to humankind, water usually stays in a macroscopically electric neutral state. Due its inherent molecular polarity, however, can be easily electrified, which builds connection between and electricity. Such coupling of electricity abounds deep scientific basics technological applications. The past several decades have witnessed extensive progress studying mutual effects water, comprehensive review fundamentals applications is still largely...
Abstract Liquid-solid contact electrification (CE) is essential to diverse applications. Exploiting its full implementation requires an in-depth understanding and fine-grained control of charge carriers (electrons and/or ions) during CE. Here, we decouple the electrons ions liquid-solid CE by designing binary superhydrophobic surfaces that eliminate liquid ion residues on simultaneously enable us regulate surface properties, namely work function, electron transfers. We find existence a...
The pathogenesis of ulcerative colitis (UC) is associated with inflammation, oxidative stress, and gut microbiota imbalance. Although most researchers have demonstrated the antioxidant bioactivity phenolic compounds in plants, their UC-curing ability underlying mechanisms still need to be further adequately explored. Herein, we studied antioxidation-structure relationship several common polyphenols plants including gallic acid, proanthocyanidin, ellagic tannic acid. Furthermore, vivo effects...
In this article, we report a newly designed molecule, RhTPE, synthesized by fusing rhodamine with TPE, which realizes both emission color change and on/off switching.
Condensation freezing inhibition is of great practical importance for anti-icing applications; however, no coatings with this performance have been reported. Here, we report the condensation on patterned polyelectrolyte coatings, including brush (PB), multilayer (PEM), and hydrogel (PH) surfaces, benefiting from their feature in regulating ice nucleation propagation via changing counterions. On reported can be initiated exclusively at domains polyelectrolytes; moreover, spontaneous achieved...
Abstract Static repellency and pressure resistance to liquids are essential for high‐performance super‐omniphobic surfaces. However, these two merits appear mutually exclusive in conventional designs because of their conflicting structural demands: liquid necessitates minimal solid–liquid contact, which turn inevitably undercuts the surface's ability resist invasion exerted by elevated pressure. Here, inspired Springtail , can be simultaneously realized structuring surfaces at size scales,...
Introduction: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) affects about 7 million people globally, which is a chronic inflammatory condition of the gastrointestinal tract caused by gut microbiota alterations, immune dysregulation, genetic and environmental factors. Nanoparticles (NPs) deliver an active natural compound to site harbored disordered microbiota, they are used interact, target act intentionally on microbiota. Although there accumulating evidence indicating that berberine polysaccharide play...
Macrolide pollution has attracted a great deal of attention because its ecotoxic effects on microalgae, but the role phycospheric bacteria under antibiotic stress remains unclear. This study explored toxic erythromycin (ERY) growth and nitrogen metabolism Auxenochlorella pyrenoidosa; then, it analyzed predicted composition ecological function microalgae ERY stress. We found that 0.1, 1.0, 10 mg/L inhibited chlorophyll gradually showed enhanced abilities over course 21 days. As exposure time...
Long-term antibiotic use induces drug resistance in bacteria. This has given rise to the challenge of refractory infections, which have become a global health threat. Berberine (BBR) and tannic acid (TA) from plants exhibit promising antibacterial activities may overcome resistance. However, poor solubility and/or low penetration capability limited their application. Carrier-free co-assembled nanocomposites composed entirely BBR TA improved or new properties produce efficacy. Herein, we...
