A biological potassium channel is >1000 times more permeable to K+ than Na+ and exhibits a giant permeation rate of ∼108 ions/s. It great challenge construct artificial channels with such high selectivity ion conduction rate. Herein, we unveil long-overlooked structural feature that underpins the ultra-high K+/Na+ selectivity. By carrying out massive molecular dynamics simulation for transport through carbonyl-oxygen-modified bi-layer graphene nanopores, find twisted carbonyl rings enable...
Lithium-metal batteries, owing to their remarkable energy density, represent a promising solution for future storage needs. However, the widespread adoption of lithium-metal batteries has been impeded by inherent instability that exists between lithium metal and traditional liquid electrolytes, initially designed graphite anodes in lithium-ion batteries. Recent insights underscore efficacy electrolyte engineering as strategic avenue realize potential A notable approach involves fluorination...
Abstract Heterogeneous structures in nacre‐mimetic 2D layered materials generate novel transport phenomena angstrom range, and thus provide new possibilities for innovative applications sustainable energy, a clean environment, human healthcare. In the two orthogonal directions, either vertical or horizontal, heterostructures horizontal direction have never been reported before. Here, 2D‐material‐based laterally heterogeneous membrane is fabricated via an unconventional dual‐flow filtration...
With the expansion of ethylene production, butadiene will face a crisis overcapacity by 2025. Converting it into high-value functional copolymers is more desirable. A butadiene–maleic anhydride copolymer an amphiphilic alternating with potential applications in adhesives, emulsifiers, composite compatibilizers, and so forth. However, unpredictable cross-linking reaction limits its research industrial production. In this paper, structural differences between linear cross-linked are identified...
By mixing ionic solutions, considerable energy can be harvested from entropy change. Recently, we proposed a concept of potassium-permselectivity enabled osmotic power generation (PoPee-OPG) by equimolar KCl and NaCl solutions via artificial potassium ion channels (APICs, Natl. Sci. Rev. 2023, 10, nwad260). However, fundamental understanding the relationship between K+/Na+ selectivity optimal performance remains unexplored. Herein, establish primitive molecular thermodynamic model to...
Abstract Direct functionalization of C−H bonds catalyzed by chloroperoxidase (CPO) is featured using H 2 O as both oxygen and electron donor. The catalytic process circumvents expensive transporters such NAD(P)H, making it advantageous for green production fine chemicals with complex structures. In situ generation collaborative supplement strongly desired an improved productivity enzyme stability. present study describes a novel CPO cascade asymmetric hydroxylation ethylbenzene yielding ( R...
Ionic transport and ion sieving are important in the field of separation science engineering. Based on rapid development nanomaterials nano-devices, more phenomena occur nanoscale devices thermology, optics, mechanics, etc. Recently, we experimentally observed a novel phenomenon nanostructured graphene oxide membrane (GOM) under asymmetric illumination. We first build light-induced carriers' diffusion model based our previous experimental results. This can reveal mechanism predict behavior...
