| 1 | The Reference Genome of Tea Plant and Resequencing of 81 Diverse Accessions Provide Insights into Its Genome Evolution and Adaptation显示文摘Tea plant is an important economic crop,which is used to produce the world's oldest and most widely consumed tea beverages.Here,we present a high-quality reference genome assembly of the tea plant(Camellia sinensis var.sinensis)consisting of 15 pseudo-chromosomes.LTR retrotransposons(LTR-RTs)account for 70.38%of the genome,and we present evidence that LTR-RTS play critical roles in genome size expansion and the transcriptional diversification of tea plant genes through preferential insertion in promoter regions and introns.Genes,particularly those coding for terpene biosynthesis pro-teins,associated with tea aroma and stress resistance were significantly amplified through recent tandem duplications and exist as gene clusters in tea plant genome.Phylogenetic analysis of the sequences of 81 tea plant accessions with diverse origins revealed three well-differentiated tea plant populations,support-ing the proposition for the southwest origin of the Chinese cultivated tea plant and its later spread to western Asia through introduction.Domestication and modern breeding left significant signatures on hundreds of genes in the tea plant genome,particularly those associated with tea quality and stress resis-tance.The genomic sequences of the reported reference and resequenced tea plant accessions provide valuable resources for future functional genomics study and molecular breeding of improved cul-tivars of tea plants. | Enhua Xia Wei Tong Yan Hou Yanlin An Linbo Chen Qiong Wu Yunlong Liu Jie Yu Fangdong Li Ruopei Li Penghui Li Huijuan Zhao Ruoheng Ge Jin Huang Ali Inayat Mallano Yanrui Zhang Shengrui Liu Weiwei Deng Chuankui Song Zhaoliang Zhang Jian Zhao Shu Wei Zhengzhu Zhang Tao Xia Chaoling Wei Xiaochun Wan | 2020 | Molecular Plant2020,13,7: | 51 |

| 4 | Use of Biochar as an Amendment for Remediation of Heavy Metal-Contaminated Soils:Prospects and Challenges显示文摘Biochar(BC), known as the new black gold, is a stable, novel carbonaceous by-product that is synthesized through pyrolysis of biological materials in the absence of O_2.Recently, an emerging interest in the application of BC as a robust soil amendment has given rise to a broad research area in science and technology.It is considered a promising remediation option for heavy metal(HM)-contaminated soils to reduce HM bioavailability to plants.Remediation efficacy of BC depends on the porosity, composition,pyrolysis temperature, feedstock, and residence time of pyrolysis.This review article aimed to present an overview of BC use in the immobilization of HMs, i.e., Cd, As, Pb, Zn, Ni, Cu, Mn, Cr, and Sb, in contaminated soils.The remaining uncertain factors, including the specific soil HM immobilization mechanisms, long-term beneficial effects, and potential environmental risks associated with BC application are analyzed.Future research must be conducted to ensure that the management of environmental pollution is in accord with ecological sustainability and adaptation of the black gold biotechnology on a commercial basis for immobilization of HMs in contaminated soils. | Altaf Hussain LAHORI GUO Zhanyu ZHANG Zengqiang LI Ronghua Amanullah MAHAR Mukesh Kumar AWASTHI SHEN Feng Tanveer Ali SIAL Farhana KUMBHAR WANG Ping JIANG Shuncheng | 2017 | Pedosphere2017,27,6: | 28 |
| 5 | Emodin alleviates intestinal mucosal injury in rats with severe acute pancreatitis via the caspase-1 inhibition显示文摘BACKGROUND:Emodin,a traditional Chinese medicine,has a therapeutic effect on severe acute pancreatitis(SAP),whereas the underlying mechanism is still unclear.Studies showed that the intestinal mucosa impairment,and subsequent release of endotoxin and proinflammatory cytokines such as IL-1β,which further leads to the dysfunction of multiple organs,is the potentially lethal mechanism of SAP.Caspase-1,an IL-1β-converting enzyme,plays an important role in this cytokine cascade process.Investigation of the effect of emodin on regulating the caspase-1 expression and the release proinflammatory cytokines will help to reveal mechanism of emodin in treating SAP.METHODS:Eighty Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into four groups(n=20 each group):SAP,sham-operated(SO),emodin-treated(EM) and caspase-1 inhibitor-treated(ICE-I) groups.SAP was induced by retrograde infusion of 3.5% sodium taurocholate into the pancreatic duct.Emodin and caspase-1 inhibitor were given 30 minutes before and 12 hours after SAP induction.Serum levels of IL-1β,IL-18 and endotoxin,histopathological alteration of pancreas tissues,intestinal mucosa,and the intestinal caspase-1 m RNA and protein expressions were assessed 24 hours after SAP induction.RESULTS:Rats in the SAP group had higher serum levels of IL-1β and IL-18(P<0.05),pancreatic and gut pathological scores(P<0.05),and caspase-1 m RNA and protein expressions(P<0.05) compared with the SO group.Compared with the SAP group,rats in the EM and ICE-I groups had lower IL-1β and IL-18 levels(P<0.05),lower pancreatic and gut pathological scores(P<0.05),and decreased expression of intestine caspase-1 m RNA(P<0.05).Ultrastructural analysis by transmission electron microscopy found that rats in the SAP group had vaguer epithelial junctions,more disappeared intercellular joints,and more damaged intracellular organelles compared with those in the SO group or the EM and ICE-I groups.CONCLUSIONS:Emodin alleviated pancreatic and intestinal mucosa injury in experimental SAP.Its mechanism may partly be mediated by the inhibition of caspase-1 and its downstream inflammatory cytokines,including IL-1β and IL-18.Our animal data may be applicable in clinical practice. | Jian-Wen Ning Yan Zhang Mo-Sang Yu Meng-Li Gu Jia Xu Ali Usman Feng Ji | 2017 | Hepatobiliary & Pancreatic Diseases International2017,16,4: | 15 |
| 6 | Cytotoxic genes from traditional Chinese medicine inhibit tumor growth both in vitro and in vivo显示文摘OBJECTIVE: Little effort has been made to study the protein-encoding genes isolated from traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) drugs, and the delivery of these genes into malignant cells through recombinant adeno-associated virus(r AAV) vectors has not been attempted. METHODS: We synthesized the c DNAs of five known cytotoxic proteins isolated from TCM drugs and the FLAG epitope-tagged c DNAs were subcloned into a r AAV plasmid vector. The protein expression was confi rmed by Western blot assay. Various cancer cell lines were transfected with the above plasmids and cell growth was monitored both in vitro and in vivo. The best cytotoxic gene was further packaged into r AAV vectors, under the control of a liver cancer-specifi c promoter. The liver tumor growth was then monitored following intratumor administration of the r AAV vectors.RESULTS: The expression plasmids, encoding individual potential cytotoxic genes tagged with FLAG epitope, were successfully generated and sequenced. Among these genes, trichosanthin(TCS) gene yielded the most promising results for the inhibition of cancer cell growth in vitro. The over-expressed TCS functioned as a type I ribosome-inactivating protein, followed by inducing apoptosis that is associated with the Bcl-PARP signaling pathway. Furthermore, intratumor injection of r AAV vectors containing the TCS gene signifi cantly inhibited the growth of human hepatocellular carcinoma tumors in a murine xenograft model.CONCLUSION: Our studies suggest that the use of TCM cytotoxic genes is a useful therapeutic strategy for treating human cancers in general, and liver tumors in particular. | Yuan-hui Zhang Yuan Wang Ali Hussein Yusufali Frederick Ashby Daniel Zhang Zi-fei Yin George V.Aslanidi Arun Srivastava Chang-quan Ling Chen Ling | 2014 | Journal of Integrative Medicine2014,12,6: | 14 |
| 7 | Advances in fabrication of ceramic corundum abrasives based on sol–gel process显示文摘Corundum abrasives with good chemical stability can be fabricated into various free abrasives and bonded abrasive tools that are widely used in the precision machining of various parts.However,these abrasives cannot satisfy the machining requirements of difficult-to-machine materials with high hardness,high strength,and strong wearing resistance.Although superhard abrasives can machine the above-mentioned materials,their dressing and manufacturing costs are high.By contrast,ceramic corundum abrasives fabricated by sol–gel method is a costeffective product between conventional and superhard abrasives.Ceramic corundum abrasives exhibit self-sharpening and high toughness.In this review,the optimization methods of ceramic corundum abrasive properties are introduced from three aspects:precursor synthesis,particle shaping,and sintering.Firstly,the functional mechanism of seeds and additives on the microstructural and mechanical properties of abrasives is analyzed.Specifically,seeds can reduce the phase transition temperature and improve fracture toughness.The grain size and uniformly dense structure can be controlled by applying an appropriate amount of multicomponent additives.Then,the urgent need of engineering application and machinability of special shape ceramic corundum abrasives is reviewed,and three methods of abrasive shaping are summarized.The micromold replication technique is highly advanced and can be used to prepare functional abrasives.Additionally,the influence of a new sintering method,namely,two-step sintering technique,on the microstructural and mechanical performance of ceramic corundum abrasives is summarized.Finally,the challenge and developmental trend of the optimization of ceramic corundum abrasives are prospected. | Baoteng HUANG Changhe LI Yanbin ZHANG Wenfeng DING Min YANG Yuying YANG Han ZHAI Xuefeng XU Dazhong WANG Sujan DEBNATH Muhammad JAMIL Hao Nan Li Hafiz Muhammad ALI Munish Kumar GUPTA Zafar SAID | 2021 | Chinese Journal of Aeronautics2021,34,6: | 11 |
| 8 | Cryogenic minimum quantity lubrication machining: from mechanism to application显示文摘Cutting fluid plays a cooling-lubrication role in the cutting of metal materials.However,the substantial usage of cutting fluid in traditional flood machining seriously pollutes the environment and threatens the health of workers.Environmental machining technologies,such as dry cutting,minimum quantity lubrication(MQL),and cryogenic cooling technology,have been used as substitute for flood machining.However,the insufficient cooling capacity of MQL with normal-temperature compressed gas and the lack of lubricating performance of cryogenic cooling technology limit their industrial application.The technical bottleneck of mechanical-thermal damage of difficult-to-cut materials in aerospace and other fields can be solved by combining cryogenic medium and MQL.The latest progress of cryogenic minimum quantity lubrication(CMQL)technology is reviewed in this paper,and the key scientific issues in the research achievements of CMQL are clarified.First,the application forms and process characteristics of CMQL devices in turning,milling,and grinding are systematically summarized from traditional settings to innovative design.Second,the cooling-lubrication mechanism of CMQL and its influence mechanism on material hardness,cutting force,tool wear,and workpiece surface quality in cutting are extensively revealed.The effects of CMQL are systematically analyzed based on its mechanism and application form.Results show that the application effect of CMQL is better than that of cryogenic technology or MQL alone.Finally,the prospect,which provides basis and support for engineering application and development of CMQL technology,is introduced considering the limitations of CMQL. | Mingzheng LIU Changhe LI Yanbin ZHANG Qinglong AN Min YANG Teng GAO Cong MAO Bo LIU Huajun CAO Xuefeng XU Zafar SAID Sujan DEBNATH Muhammad JAMIL Hafz Muhammad ALI Shubham SHARMA | 2021 | Frontiers of Mechanical Engineering2021,16,4: | 8 |

| 10 | Advanced Backcross QTL Analysis for the Whole Plant Growth Duration Salt Tolerance in Rice(Oryza sativa L.)显示文摘Salinity is a major factor limiting rice yield in coastal areas of Asia. To facilitate breeding salt tolerant rice varieties, the wholeplant growth duration salt tolerance(ST) was genetically dissected by phenotyping two sets of BC2F5 introgression lines(ILs) for four yield traits under severe natural salt stress and non-stress filed conditions using SSR markers and the methods of advanced backcross QTL(AB-QTL) analysis and selective introgression. Many QTLs affecting four yield traits under salt stress and nonstress conditions were identified, most(>90%) of which were clustered in 13 genomic regions of the rice genome and involved in complex epistasis. Most QTLs affecting yield traits were differentially expressed under salt stress and non-stress conditions. Our results suggested that genetics complementarily provides an adequate explanation for the hidden genetic diversity for ST observed in both IL populations. Some promising Huanghuazhan(HHZ) ILs with favorable donor alleles at multiple QTLs and significantly improved yield traits under salt stress and non-stress conditions were identified, providing excellent materials and relevant genetic information for improving rice ST by marker-assisted selection(MAS) or genome selection. | CHAI Lu ZHANG Jian PAN Xiao-biao ZHANG Fan ZHENG Tian-qing ZHAO Xiu-qing WANG Wen-sheng Ali Jauhar XU Jian-long LI Zhi-kang | 2014 | Journal of Integrative Agriculture2014,13,8: | 8 |

| 12 | Convergent genomic signatures of high-altitude adaptation among domestic mammals显示文摘Abundant and diverse domestic mammals living on the Tibetan Plateau provide useful materials for investigating adaptive evolution and genetic convergence.Here,we used 327 genomes from horses,sheep,goats,cattle,pigs and dogs living at both high and low altitudes,including 73 genomes generated for this study,to disentangle the genetic mechanisms underlying local adaptation of domestic mammals.Although molecular convergence is comparatively rare at the DNA sequence level,we found convergent signature of positive selection at the gene level,particularly the EPAS1 gene in these Tibetan domestic mammals.We also reported a potential function in response to hypoxia for the gene C10 orf67,which underwent positive selection in three of the domestic mammals.Our data provide an insight into adaptive evolution of high-altitude domestic mammals,and should facilitate the search for additional novel genes involved in the hypoxia response pathway. | Dong-Dong Wu Cui-Ping Yang Ming-Shan Wang Kun-Zhe Dong Da-Wei Yan Zi-Qian Hao Song-Qing Fan Shu-Zhou Chu Qiu-Shuo Shen Li-Ping Jiang Yan Li Lin Zeng He-Qun Liu Hai-Bing Xie Yun-Fei Ma Xiao-Yan Kong Shu-Li Yang Xin-Xing Dong Ali Esmailizadeh David M Irwin Xiao Xiao Ming Li Yang Dong Wen Wang Peng Shi Hai-Peng Li Yue-Hui Ma Xiao Gou Yong-Bin Chen Ya-Ping Zhang | 2020 | National Science Review2020,7,6: | 7 |
| 13 | Milling Force Model for Aviation Aluminum Alloy: Academic Insight and Perspective Analysis显示文摘Aluminum alloy is the main structural material of aircraft,launch vehicle,spaceship,and space station and is processed by milling.However,tool wear and vibration are the bottlenecks in the milling process of aviation aluminum alloy.The machining accuracy and surface quality of aluminum alloy milling depend on the cutting parameters,material mechanical properties,machine tools,and other parameters.In particular,milling force is the crucial factor to determine material removal and workpiece surface integrity.However,establishing the prediction model of milling force is important and difficult because milling force is the result of multiparameter coupling of process system.The research progress of cutting force model is reviewed from three modeling methods:empirical model,finite element simulation,and instantaneous milling force model.The problems of cutting force modeling are also determined.In view of these problems,the future work direction is proposed in the following four aspects:(1)high-speed milling is adopted for the thin-walled structure of large aviation with large cutting depth,which easily produces high residual stress.The residual stress should be analyzed under this particular condition.(2)Multiple factors(e.g.,eccentric swing milling parameters,lubrication conditions,tools,tool and workpiece deformation,and size effect)should be considered comprehensively when modeling instantaneous milling forces,especially for micro milling and complex surface machining.(3)The database of milling force model,including the corresponding workpiece materials,working condition,cutting tools(geometric figures and coatings),and other parameters,should be established.(4)The effect of chatter on the prediction accuracy of milling force cannot be ignored in thin-walled workpiece milling.(5)The cutting force of aviation aluminum alloy milling under the condition of minimum quantity lubrication(mql)and nanofluid mql should be predicted. | Zhenjing Duan Changhe Li Wenfeng Ding Yanbin Zhang Min Yang Teng Gao Huajun Cao Xuefeng Xu Dazhong Wang Cong Mao Hao Nan Li Gupta Munish Kumar Zafar Said Sujan Debnath Muhammad Jamil Hafiz Muhammad Ali | 2021 | Chinese Journal of Mechanical Engineering2021,34,1: | 7 |
| 14 | 863 genomes reveal the origin and domestication of chicken显示文摘Despite the substantial role that chickens have played in human societies across the world,both the geographic and temporal origins of their domestication remain controversial.To address this issue,we analyzed 863 genomes from a worldwide sampling of chickens and representatives of all four species of wild jungle fowl and each of the five subspecies of red jungle fowl(RJF).Our study suggests that domestic chickens were initially derived from the RJF subspecies Gallus gallus spadiceus whose present-day distribution is predominantly in southwestern China,northern Thailand and Myanmar.Following their domestication,chickens were translocated across Southeast and South Asia where they interbred locally with both RJF subspecies and other jungle fowl species.In addition,our results show that the White Leghorn chicken breed possesses a mosaic of divergent ancestries inherited from other subspecies of RJF.Despite the strong episodic gene flow from geographically divergent lineages of jungle fowls,our analyses show that domestic chickens undergo genetic adaptations that underlie their unique behavioral,morphological and reproductive traits.Our study provides novel insights into the evolutionary history of domestic chickens and a valuable resource to facilitate ongoing genetic and functional investigations of the world's most numerous domestic animal. | Ming-Shan Wang Mukesh Thakur Min-Sheng Peng Yu Jiang Laurent Alain Francois Frantz Ming Li Jin-Jin Zhang Sheng Wang Joris Peters Newton Otieno Otecko Chatmongkon Suwannapoom Xing Guo Zhu-Qing Zheng Ali Esmailizadeh Nalini Yasoda Hirimuthugoda Hidayat Ashari Sri Suladari Moch Syamsul Arifin Zein Szilvia Kusza Saeed Sohrabi Hamed Kharrati-Koopaee Quan-Kuan Shen Lin Zeng Min-Min Yang Ya-Jiang Wu Xing-Yan Yang Xue-Mei Lu Xin-Zheng Jia Qing-Hua Nie Susan Joy Lamont Emiliano Lasagna Simone Ceccobelli Humpita Gamaralalage Thilini Nisanka Gunwardana Thilina Madusanka Senasige Shao-Hong Feng Jing-Fang Si Hao Zhang Jie-Qiong Jin Ming-Li Li Yan-Hu Liu Hong-Man Chen Cheng Ma Shan-Shan Dai Abul Kashem Fazlul Haque Bhuiyan Muhammad Sajjad Khan Gamamada Liyanage Lalanie Pradeepa Silva Thi-Thuy Le Okeyo Ally Mwai Mohamed Nawaz Mohamed Ibrahim Megan Supple Beth Shapiro Olivier Hanotte Guojie Zhang Greger Larson Jian-Lin Han Dong-Dong Wu Ya-Ping Zhang | 2020 | Cell Research2020,30,8: | 7 |
| 15 | In situ grown Fe_(3)O_(4)particle on stainless steel:A highly efficient electrocatalyst for nitrate reduction to ammonia显示文摘NH_(3)is an essential feedstock for fertilizer synthesis.Industry-scale NH_(3)synthesis mostly relies on the Haber-Bosch method,however,which suffers from massive CO_(2) emission and high energy consumption.Electrocatalytic NO_(3)-reduction is an attractive substitute to the Haber-Bosch method for synthesizing NH_(3)under mild conditions.As this reaction will produce a variety of products,it highly desires efficient and selective electrocatalyst for NH_(3)generation.Here,we report in situ grown Fe_(3)O_(4)particle on stainless steel(Fe_(3)O_(4)/SS)as a high-efficiency electrocatalyst for NO_(3)^(-)reduction to NH_(3).In 0.1 M NaOH with 0.1 M NaNO_(3),such Fe_(3)O_(4)/SS reaches a remarkable Faradaic efficiency of 91.5%and a high NH_(3)yield of 10,145μg·h^(-1)·cm^(-2)at-0.5 V vs.reversible hydrogen electrode(RHE).Furthermore,it owns robust structural and electrochemical stability.This work provides useful guidelines to expand the scope of metallic oxide electrocatalysts for NH_(3)synthesis.The catalytic mechanism is uncovered and discussed further by theoretical calculations. | Xiaoya Fan Lisi Xie Jie Liang Yuchun Ren Longcheng Zhang Luchao Yue Tingshuai Li Yonglan Luo Na Li Bo Tang Yang Liu Shuyan Gao Abdulmohsen Ali Alshehri Qian Liu Qingquan Kong Xuping Sun | 2022 | Nano Research2022,15,4: | 7 |
| 16 | All-silicon carrier accumulation modulator based on a lateral metal-oxide-semiconductor capacitor显示文摘In silicon photonics, the carrier depletion scheme has been the most commonly used mechanism for demonstrating high-speed electro-optic modulation. However, in terms of phase modulation efficiency, carrieraccumulation-based devices potentially offer almost an order of magnitude improvement over those based on carrier depletion. Previously reported accumulation modulator designs only considered vertical metal-oxidesemiconductor(MOS) capacitors, which imposes serious restrictions on the design flexibility and integratability with other photonic components. In this work, for the first time to our knowledge, we report experimental demonstration of an all-silicon accumulation phase modulator based on a lateral MOS capacitor. Using a Mach–Zehnder interferometer modulator with a 500-μm-long phase shifter, we demonstrate high-speed modulation up to 25 Gbit∕s with a modulation efficiency(V_πL_π) of 1.53 V·cm. | KAPIL DEBNATH DAVID J.THOMSON WEIWEI ZHANG ALI Z.KHOKHAR CALLUM LITTLEJOHNS JAMES BYERS LORENZO MASTRONARDI MUHAMMAD K.HUSAIN KOUTA IBUKURO FREOERIC Y.GARDES GRAHAM T,REED SHINICHI SAITO | 2018 | Photonics Research2018,6,5: | 6 |
| 17 | Effect of acupotomy versus electroacupuncture on ethology and morphology in a rabbit model of knee osteoarthritis显示文摘OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the treatment effect of acupotomy(Apo) in a rabbit model of knee osteoarthritis(KOA), compare the results of Apo versus electroacupuncture(E-Apu) on ethology, morphology, and structure of the articular cartilage surface in a rabbit model of KOA, and analyze the differences in the treatment effects of Apo versus E-Apu.METHODS: Twenty-eight male New Zealand white rabbits were randomized into four groups: normal control, blank model, Apo, and E-Apu(n = 7 in each group). Except for the normal control group, the left hindlegs of all rabbits were fixed in an extended position for 5 weeks to establish the KOA model.The passive range of motion(PROM) and Lequesne index were measured before and after the establishment of the KOA model to assess the ethology in all groups. Safranin O-fast green staining and the Mankin score were used to assess the morphological cartilaginous changes to compare the effect of Apo versus E-Apu on the degeneration of articular cartilage, and to identify which therapy was superior in treating KOA.RESULTS: Compared with before the establishment of the KOA model, the Lequesne index of the KOA model rabbits was significantly increased(P <0.01), while the PROM was significantly decreased(P < 0.01). The articular cartilaginous tissue in the three model groups exhibited pathological variations in the form of laminar derangement of cartilage cells, and so the Mankin score was significantly increased compared with the control group(P <0.01). At 1 week after the final treatment session,compared with the blank model group, both the Apo and E-Apu groups showed a significant decrease in the Lequesne index(P < 0.01), and attenuation in the degree of morphologic pathological changes(P < 0.05); The Apo improved the PROM significantly compared with the blank model group(P < 0.05), while the E-Apu had no effect(P > 0.05).Furthermore, compared with the E-Apu group, the Apo group had a significantly lower Lequesne index(P < 0.05), and a significantly greater PROM(P <0.05).CONCLUSION: In a rabbit model of KOA, both Apo and E-Apu reduce disorders of ethology and morphology, and improve the condition of the articular cartilage. The results suggest that Apo is more effective than E-Apu in improving the PROM and alleviating symptoms resulting from cartilage damage in a rabbit model of KOA. | Zhang Wei Gao Yang Guo Changqing Ibrahim Zeyad Ali Khattab Farid Mokhtari | 2019 | Journal of Traditional Chinese Medicine2019,39,2: | 6 |

| 19 | Benzoate anions-intercalated NiFe-layered double hydroxide nanosheet array with enhanced stability for electrochemical seawater oxidation显示文摘Seawater electrolysis is an extremely attractive approach for harvesting clean hydrogen energy,but detrimental chlorine species(i.e.,chloride and hypochlorite)cause severe corrosion at the anode.Here,we report our recent finding that benzoate anions-intercalated NiFe-layered double hydroxide nanosheet on carbon cloth(BZ-NiFe-LDH/CC)behaves as a highly efficient and durable monolithic catalyst for alkaline seawater oxidation,affords enlarged interlayer spacing of LDH,inhibits chlorine(electro)chemistry,and alleviates local pH drop of the electrode.It only needs an overpotential of 320 mV to reach a current density of 500 mA·cm^(−2)in 1 M KOH.In contrast to the fast activity decay of NiFe-LDH/CC counterpart during long-term electrolysis,BZ-NiFe-LDH/CC achieves stable 100-h electrolysis at an industrial-level current density of 500 mA·cm^(−2)in alkaline seawater.Operando Raman spectroscopy studies further identify structural changes of disorderedδ(NiIII-O)during the seawater oxidation process. | Longcheng Zhang Jie Liang Luchao Yue Kai Dong Jun Li Donglin Zhao Zerong Li Shengjun Sun Yongsong Luo Qian Liu Guanwei Cui Abdulmohsen Ali Alshehri Xiaodong Guo Xuping Sun | 2022 | Nano Research Energy2022,1,3: | 6 |
| 20 | Directly accessing octave-spanning dissipative Kerr soliton frequency combs in an AlN microresonator显示文摘Self-referenced dissipative Kerr solitons (DKSs) based on optical microresonators offer prominent characteristics allowing for various applications from precision measurement to astronomical spectrometer calibration. To date,direct octave-spanning DKS generation has been achieved only in ultrahigh-Q silicon nitride microresonators under optimized laser tuning speed or bi-directional tuning. Here we propose a simple method to easily access the octave-spanning DKS in an aluminum nitride (AlN) microresonator. In the design,two modes that belong to different families but with the same polarization are nearly degenerate and act as a pump and an auxiliary resonance,respectively. The presence of the auxiliary resonance can balance the thermal dragging effect,crucially simplifying the DKS generation with a single pump and leading to an enhanced soliton access window. We experimentally demonstrate the long-lived DKS operation with a record single-soliton step (10.4 GHz or83 pm) and an octave-spanning bandwidth (1100–2300 nm) through adiabatic pump tuning. Our scheme also allows for direct creation of the DKS state with high probability and without elaborate wavelength or power schemes being required to stabilize the soliton behavior. | HAIZHONG WENG JIA LIU ADNAN ALI AFRIDI JING LI JIANGNAN DAI XIANG MA YI ZHANG QIAOYIN LU JOHN F.DONEGAN WEIHUA GUO | 2021 | Photonics Research2021,9,7: | 6 |
