| 2 | Spiral Steel Wire Based Fiber-Shaped Stretchable and Tailorable Triboelectric Nanogenerator for Wearable Power Source and Active Gesture Sensor显示文摘Continuous deforming always leads to the performance degradation of a flexible triboelectric nanogenerator due to the Young’s modulus mismatch of different functional layers.In this work,we fabricated a fiber-shaped stretchable and tailorable triboelectric nanogenerator(FST-TENG)based on the geometric construction of a steel wire as electrode and ingenious selection of silicone rubber as triboelectric layer.Owing to the great robustness and continuous conductivity,the FST-TENGs demonstrate high stability,stretchability,and even tailorability.For a single device with ~6 cm in length and ~3 mm in diameter,the open-circuit voltage of ~59.7 V,transferred charge of ~23.7 nC,short-circuit current of ~2.67 μA and average power of ~2.13 μW can be obtained at 2.5 Hz.By knitting several FST-TENGs to be a fabric or a bracelet,it enables to harvest human motion energy and then to drive a wearable electronic device.Finally,it can also be woven on dorsum of glove to monitor the movements of gesture,which can recognize every single finger,different bending angle,and numbers of bent finger by analyzing voltage signals. | Lingjie Xie Xiaoping Chen Zhen Wen Yanqin Yang Jihong Shi Chen Chen Mingfa Peng Yina Liu Xuhui Sun | 2019 | Nano-Micro Letters2019,11,3: | 13 |

| 4 | High-yield production of 2,5-dimethylfuran from 5-hydroxymethylfurfural over carbon supported Ni–Co bimetallic catalyst显示文摘The catalytic conversion of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural(HMF) to 2,5-dimethylfuran(DMF) has attracted extensive research interests because DMF can be used as potential and competitive renewable transportation fuel or additives. Here we report a non-noble bimetallic catalyst with improved activity for hydrogenation and hydrogenolysis by introducing active carbon as support into a nickel–cobalt catalyst. The characterizations of the catalyst indicate that the Ni and Co species are uniformly dispersed on the active carbon through the wetness impregnation method. The influences of reaction temperature and hydrogen pressure are systematically investigated and an excellent yield(up to 95%) of DMF can be obtained at relatively mild conditions, 130 °C and 1 MPa H_2, over the carbon supported Ni–Co bimetallic catalyst. The high catalytic activity originates from the synergistic effect between Ni and CoO xspecies, the high BET surface area of the catalyst, and the uniform dispersion of Ni and Co species on the active carbon. The catalyst could be reused for 5 times without loss of activity in a batch reactor. Futhermore, the conversion of HMF to DMF on a fixed-bed reactor was also investigated and the 2%Ni–20%Co/C catalyst exhibited an excellent yield to DMF(>90%) for 71 h time on stream, indicating the high activity and stability of the catalyst. | Panpan Yang Qineng Xia Xiaohui Liu Yanqin Wang | 2016 | Journal of Energy Chemistry2016,25,6: | 7 |
| 5 | Ce and Er Co-doped TiO2 for rapid bacteria- killing using visible light显示文摘Bacterial infection and related diseases are threatening the health of human beings.Photocatalytic disinfection as a simple and low-cost disinfection strategy is attracting more and more attention.In this work,TiO2 nanoparticles(NPs)were modified by co-doping of Ce and Er using the sol-gel method,which endowed TiO2 NPs with enhanced visible light photocatalytic performance but not pure ultraviolet photocatalytic properties compared the untreated TiO2.Our results disclosed that as the doping content of Er increased,the photocatalytic activity of modified TiO2 NPs initially increased and subsequently decreased.The same trend occurred for Ce doping.When the doping dose of Er and Ce is 0.5 mol%and 0.2 mol%,the 0.5Ce0.2Ti-O calcined at 800℃ presented the best antibacterial properties,with the antibacterial efficiency of 91.23%and 92.8%for Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli,respectively.The existence of Er ions is thought to successfully turn the near-infrared radiation into visible region,which is easier to be absorbed by TiO2 NPs.Meanwhile,the addition of Ce ions can effectively extend spectral response range and inhibit the recombination of electrons and holes,enhancing the photocatalytic disinfection activity of co-doped TiO2. | Yawei Ren Yajing Han Zhaoyang Li Xiangmei Liu Shengli Zhu Yanqin Liang Kelvin Wai Kwok Yeung Shuilin Wu | 2020 | Bioactive Materials2020,5,2: | 7 |
| 6 | Catalytic conversion of lignocellulosic biomass into chemicals and fuels显示文摘In the search of alternative resources to make commodity chemicals and transportation fuels for a low carbon future,lignocellulosic biomass with over 180-billion-ton annual production rate has been identified as a promising feedstock.This review focuses on the state-of-the-art catalytic transformation of lignocellulosic biomass into value-added chemicals and fuels.Following a brief introduction on the structure,major resources and pretreatment methods of lignocellulosic biomass,the catalytic conversion of three main components,i.e.,cellulose,hemicellulose and lignin,into various compounds are comprehensively discussed.Either in separate steps or in one-pot,cellulose and hemicellulose are hydrolyzed into sugars and upgraded into oxygen-containing chemicals such as 5-HMF,furfural,polyols,and organic acids,or even nitrogen-containing chemicals such as amino acids.On the other hand,lignin is first depolymerized into phenols,catechols,guaiacols,aldehydes and ketones,and then further transformed into hydrocarbon fuels,bioplastic precursors and bioactive compounds.The review then introduces the transformations of whole biomass via catalytic gasification,catalytic pyrolysis,as well as emerging strategies.Finally,opportunities,challenges and prospective of woody biomass valorization are highlighted. | Weiping Deng Yunchao Feng Jie Fu Haiwei Guo Yong Guo Buxing Han Zhicheng Jiang Lingzhao Kong Changzhi Li Haichao Liu Phuc T.T.Nguyen Puning Ren Feng Wang Shuai Wang Yanqin Wang Ye Wang Sie Shing Wong Kai Yan Ning Yan Xiaofei Yang Yuanbao Zhang Zhanrong Zhang Xianhai Zeng Hui Zhou | 2023 | Green Energy & Environment2023,8,1: | 6 |
| 7 | Relationship between physicochemical properties and dewaterability of hydrothermal sludge derived from different source显示文摘Sewage sludge(SS) and deinking sludge(DS) were used to comparatively study the hydrothermal dewatering of sludge with different components. For a better overview, an insight into the relationship between physicochemical properties and dewaterability of hydrothermal sludge was provided. Results found that not all kinds of sludge were suitably conditioned by hydrothermal treatment(HT) in term of the elevation of dewaterability.Higher hydrothermal temperature tended to enhance the dewaterability of SS rather than DS, which was supported by the variation of their physicochemical properties(including water distribution, bonding energy, extracellular polymeric substance(EPS), particles size,acid functional groups and zeta potential in this study). In addition, the changes in surface morphology suggested that the reverse effect of HT on sludge dewaterability was mainly due to their dewatering behavior. For SS, the destruction of EPS structure leaded to the release of bound water, thereby strengthening sludge dewatering. Conversely, 'Bridging effect' generated by lignocellulose in DS was beneficial for sludge dewatering; however, the increasing hydrothermal temperature degraded part of lignocellulose and weakened'bridging effect', finally resulting in worse dewaterability of DS. | Xiuzheng Zhuang Yanqin Huang Huacai Liu Hongyou Yuan Xiuli Yin Chuangzhi Wu | 2018 | Journal of Environmental Sciences2018,30,7: | 5 |
| 8 | Photo-controlled degradation of PLGA/Ti3C2 hybrid coating on Mg-Sr alloy using near infrared light显示文摘A PLGA/Ti_(3)C_(2) hybrid coating was successfully deposited on the surface of magnesium-strontium(Mg-Sr)alloys.Compared with the corrosion current density(icorr)of the Mg-Sr alloy(7.13×10^−5 A/cm^2),the modified samples(Mg/PLGA/Ti_(3)C_(2))was lower by approximately four orders of magnitude(7.65×10^−9 A/cm^2).After near infrared 808 nm laser irradiation,the icorr of the modified samples increased to 3.48×10^−7 A/cm^2.The mechanism is that the local hyperthermia induced the free volume expansion of PLGA,and the increase in intermolecular gap enhanced the penetration of electrolytes.Meanwhile,the cytotoxicity study showed that the hybrid coating endowed the Mg-Sr alloy with enhanced biocompatibility. | Li Liu Bo Huang Xiangmei Liu Wei Yuan Yufeng Zheng Zhaoyang Li Kelvin Wai Kwok Yeung Shengli Zhu Yanqin Liang Zhenduo Cui Shuilin Wu | 2021 | Bioactive Materials2021,6,2: | 4 |

| 10 | Three Tiaobu Feishen therapies protect human alveolar epithelial cells against cigarette smoking and tumor necrosis factor-mlear factor-kappa B pathwayα-induced inflamation by nuc显示文摘OBJECTIVE: To investigate the efficacy of Tiaobu Feishen formulae(TBFS), including Bufei Jianpi formula(BJF), Bufei Yishen formula(BYF), and Yiqi Zishen formula(YZF), on inflammatory response, protease-anti-protease imbalance and collagen deposition in rats.METHODS: In present work, we used an in vitro model of cigarette smoking extract(CSE)-and tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)-induced A549 cellsto examine the efficacy of BJF, BYF and YZF on the production of inflammatory cytokines, including TNF-α and interleukin(IL)-8, IL-6, matrix metalloproteinases(MMP)-9, and IL-10 in CSE or TNF-ls. And their related transcripα-induced A549 celtion factors and signaling pathway were also analyzed.RESULTS: The results showed that BJF, BYF and YZF could significantly decrease the expression levels of the pro-inflammatory cytokines induced by CSE or TNF-α. Furthermore, BJF, BYF and YZF could suppress CSE-or TNF-α-induced activation of nuclear factor-kappa B(NF-κB) transcription factors and its corresponding pathways. Taken together, these data implied that BJF, BYF and YZF effectively inhibited CSE-or TNF-α-induced inflammatory response in alveolar epithelial cell, which was due to their inhibition effect on NF-κB pathways.CONCLUSION: Our findings suggest that the Tiaobu Feishen therapies may protect human alveolar epithelial cells against cigarette smoking and TNF-α-induced inflammation. NF-κB pathway may involve in the actions. | Chen Yulong Wu Yaosong Li Jiansheng Feng Suxiang Hao Lili Liu Xuefang Zheng Wanchun Dong Haoran Qin Yanqin Yin Sugai Zhao Peng | 2019 | Journal of Traditional Chinese Medicine2019,39,1: | 4 |
| 11 | Propofol effectively inhibits lithium-pilocarpine-induced status epilepticus in rats via downregulation of N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor 2B subunit expression显示文摘Status epilepticus was induced via intraperitoneal injection of lithium-pilocarpine.The inhibitory effects of propofol on status epilepticus in rats were judged based on observation of behavior,electroencephalography and 24-hour survival rate.Propofol(12.5-100 mg/kg) improved status epilepticus in a dose-dependent manner,and significantly reduced the number of deaths within 24 hours of lithium-pilocarpine injection.Western blot results showed that,24 hours after induction of status epilepticus,the levels of N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor 2A and 2B subunits were significantly increased in rat cerebral cortex and hippocampus.Propofol at 50 mg/kg significantly suppressed the increase in N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor 2B subunit levels,but not the increase in N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor 2A subunit levels.The results suggest that propofol can effectively inhibit status epilepticus induced by lithium-pilocarpine.This effect may be associated with downregulation of N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor 2B subunit expression after seizures. | Henglin wang Zhuoqiang Wang Weidong Mi Cong Zhao Yanqin Liu Yongan Wang Haipeng Sun | 2012 | Neural Regeneration Research2012,7,11: | 3 |
| 12 | The enhanced photocatalytic sterilization of MOF-Based nanohybrid for rapid and portable therapy of bacteria-infected open wounds显示文摘Open wounds are prone to infection and difficult to heal,which even threatens the life of patients because bacterial infections can induce other lethal complications without prompt treatment.The commonly used antibiotics treatment for bacterial infections has been reported to cause globally bacterial resistance and even the occurrence of superbacteria.The highly effective and antibiotic-independent therapeutic strategies are urgently needed for treating various kinds of bacteria-infected diseases.In this work,we synthesized an eco-friendly nanohybrid material(ZnDMZ)consisting of a kind of biodegradable metal organic framework(MOF,ZIF-8)combined with Zn-doped MoS_(2)(Zn-MoS_(2))nanosheets,which exhibited great ability to kill bacteria and promote the healing of bacteria-infected wounds under 660 nm light irradiation.The underlying mechanism is that besides the local hyperthermia,the nanohybrid material exhibits enhanced photocatalytic performance than single component in it,i.e.,it can also be excited by 660 nm light to produce more oxygen radical species(ROS)due to the following factors.On one hand,the Zn doping can reduce the work function and the band gap of MoS_(2),which promotes the movement of photoexcited electrons to the surface of the material.On the other hand,the combination between Zn-MoS_(2) and MOF induces the formation of a built-in electric field due to their work function difference,thus accelerating the separation of photoexcited electron-hole pairs.Because of the synergy of photocatalytic effect,photothermal effect and the released Zn ions,the synthesized ZnDMZ possessed a highly effective antibacterial efficacy of 99.9%against Staphylococcus aureus under 660 nm light irradiation for 20 min without cytotoxicity.In vivo tests showed that this nanohybrid material promoted the wound healing due to the released Zn ions.This nanohybrid will be promising for rapid and portable treatment of bacteria-infected open wounds in pathogenic bacteria contaminated environments. | Chaofeng Wang Yue Luo Xiangmei Liu Zhenduo Cui Yufeng Zheng Yanqin Liang Zhaoyang Li Shengli Zhu Jie Lei Xiaobo Feng Shuilin Wu | 2022 | Bioactive Materials2022,7,7: | 3 |
| 13 | DNA methylation status of H19 and Xist genes in lungs of somatic cell nuclear transfer bovines显示文摘In somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) technologies,the donor cell’s nuclei need to be epigenetically reprogrammed for embryonic development. The incomplete reprogramming of donor cell nuclei has been implicated as a primary reason for the low efficiency of SCNT. DNA methylation is a major epige-netic modification of the genome that regulates crucial aspects of genome function,including estab-lishment of genomic imprinting. In order to make sure whether the DNA methylation reprogramming is efficient in SCNT animals,we analyzed the DNA methylation status of two imprinting genes,H19 and Xist,in lungs of deceased SCNT bovines that died within 48 h of birth using bisulfite sequencing analysis. Our findings demonstrated that cloned bovines showed significantly lower DNA methylation of H19 than controls (P<0.05),and three tested CpGs sites (1,2,3) exhibited unmethylation in one cloned bovine (9C3); however,Xist showed similar DNA methylation levels between clones and con-trols,and both showed hypermethylation (96.11% and 86.67%). | CHEN Jie LI DongJie LIU YanQin ZHANG Cui DAI YunPing LI ShiJie LI Ning | 2008 | Chinese Science Bulletin2008,53,13: | 3 |

| 15 | A Z-scheme heterojunction of ZnO/CDots/C_(3)N^(4) for strengthened photoresponsive bacteria-killing and acceleration of wound healing显示文摘The abuse of antibiotics is leading to the emergence of resistant bacteria.In this work,a drug-free composite of ZnO/CDots/g-C3N4 with Z-scheme heterojunction was developed,which was employed to kill bacteria effectively within a very short time under the irradiation of visible light due to the enhanced photocatalytic and photothermal effects.In this system,the CDots acted as a bridge between g-C3N4 and ZnO,effectively inhibiting the recombination of photo-generated electrons with holes and consequently enhancing the photocatalytic properties.In addition,CDots endowed the system with excellent photothermal effects.As a result,the antibacterial efficacy of ZnO/CDots/g-C3N4 composite against S.aureus and E.coli reached up to 99.97%and 99.99%respectively,after 15 min of visible light irradiation,due to the synergistic action of photo-inspired radical oxygen species and hyperthermia.The Zn ions released from the composite promoted the growth of fibroblasts,which accelerated the wound healing process. | Yiming Xiang Qilin Zhou Zhaoyang Li Zhenduo Cui Xiangmei Liu Yanqin Liang Shengli Zhu Yufeng Zheng Kelvin Wai Kwok Yeung Shuilin Wu | 2020 | Journal of Materials Science & Technology2020,54,22: | 2 |
| 16 | Simultaneously enhancing the photocatalytic and photothermal effect of NH_(2)-MIL-125-GO-Pt ternary heterojunction for rapid therapy of bacteria-infected wounds显示文摘Infections caused by bacteria threaten human health,so how to effectively kill bacteria is an urgent problem.We therefore synthesized a NH_(2)-MIL-125-GO-Pt ternary composite heterojunction with graphene oxide(GO)and platinum(Pt)nanoparticles co-doped with metal-organic framework(NH_(2)-MIL-125)for use in photocatalytic and photothermal synergistic disinfection under white light irradiation.Due to the good conductivity of GO and the Schottky junction between Pt and MOF,the doping of GO and Pt will effectively separate and transfer the photogenerated electron-hole pairs generated by NH_(2)-MIL-125,thereby effectively improving the photocatalytic efficiency of NH_(2)-MIL-125.Meanwhile,NH_(2)-MIL-125-GO-Pt has good photothermal effect under white light irradiation.Therefore,the NH_(2)-MIL-125-GO-Pt composite can be used for effective sterilization.The antibacterial efficiency of NH_(2)-MIL-125-GO-Pt against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli were as high as 99.94%and 99.12%,respectively,within 20 min of white light irradiation.In vivo experiments showed that NH_(2)-MIL-125-GO-Pt could effectively kill bacteria and promote wound healing.This work brings new insights into the use of NH_(2)-MIL-125-based photocatalyst materials for rapid disinfection of environments with pathogenic microorganisms. | Yue Luo Bo Li Xiangmei Liu Yufeng Zheng Erjing Wang Zhaoyang Li Zhenduo Cui Yanqin Liang Shengli Zhu Shuilin Wu | 2022 | Bioactive Materials2022,7,12: | 2 |

| 18 | Enhanced electrical transport performance through cation site doping in Y-doped Mg_(3.2)Sb_(2)显示文摘Mg_(3)Sb_(2)-based alloys are promising thermoelectric materials through n-type doping in Mg-rich growth conditions to overcome their intrinsic p-type behavior.First principle calculations are employed to investigate the dopant formation energy and electronic structures of Y-doped Mg_(3)Sb_(2).Results indicate that the Y atom is more favorable for substitution at the cation site.Simultaneously,the flattened band structure and increased density of state near the Fermi level of Y-doped Mg_(3)Sb_(2) indicate an enhanced electronic transport performance.The carrier concentration rises to 5.31×10^(19) cm^(-3) at room temperature,resulting in a significant increased power factor for Mg_(3.17)Y_(0.03)Sb_(2).The available optimization of electrical transport contributes to excellent thermoelectric performance,and a peak ZT~0.83 at 773 K was achieved for Y concentration x=0.03 in Mg_(3.2-x)Y_(x)Sb_(2).This work provides an alternative measure for optimizing the thermoelectric performance of n-type Mg_(3)Sb_(2) alloys by cation site doping. | Yang Wang Xin Zhang Yanqin Liu Yangzhong Wang Hongliang Liu Jiuxing Zhang | 2020 | Journal of Materiomics2020,6,1: | 2 |
| 19 | Ag_(3)PO_(4) decorated black urchin-like defective TiO_(2) for rapid and long-term bacteria-killing under visible light显示文摘Both phototherapy via photocatalysts and physical puncture by artificial nanostructures are promising substitutes for antibiotics when treating drug-resistant bacterial infectious diseases.However,the photodynamic therapeutic efficacy of photocatalysts is seriously restricted by the rapid recombination of photogenerated electron-hole pairs.Meanwhile,the nanostructures of physical puncture are limited to two-dimensional(2D)platforms,and they cannot be fully used yet.Thus,this research developed a synergistic system of Ag_(3)PO_(4) nanoparticles(NPs),decorated with black urchin-like defective TiO_(2)(BU-TiO_(2-X)/Ag_(3)PO_(4)).These NPs had a decreased bandgap compared to BU-TiO_(2-X),and BU-TiO_(2)-X/Ag_(3)PO_(4)(3:1)exhibited the lowest bandgap and the highest separation efficiency for photogenerated electron-hole pairs.After combination with BU-TiO_(2-X),the photostability of Ag_(3)PO_(4) improved because the oxygen vacancy of BU-TiO_(2-X) retards the reduction of Ag^(+) in Ag_(3)PO_(4) into Ag^(0),thus reducing its toxicity.In addition,the nanospikes on the surface of BU-TiO_(2-X) can,from all directions,physically puncture bacterial cells,thus assisting the hybrid’s photodynamic therapeutic effects,alongside the small amount of Ag^(+) released from Ag_(3)PO_(4).This achieves synergy,endowing the hybrid with high antibacterial efficacy of 99.76±0.15%and 99.85±0.09%against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus,respectively,after light irradiation for 20 min followed by darkness for 12 h.It is anticipated that these findings may bring new insight for developing synergistic treatment strategies against bacterial infectious diseases or pathogenic bacterial polluted environments. | Yingde Xu Xiangmei Liu Yufeng Zheng Changyi Li Kelvin Wai Kwok Yeung Zhenduo Cui Yanqin Liang Zhaoyang Li Shengli Zhu Shuilin Wu | 2021 | Bioactive Materials2021,6,6: | 2 |
| 20 | Using tea nanoclusters asβ-lactamase inhibitors to cure multidrug-resistant bacterial pneumonia:A promising therapeutic strategy by Chinese materioherbology显示文摘β-lactamase,a kind of hydrolase in multi-drug resistant pathogens,can hydrolyzeβ-lactam antibiotics and make these kinds of antibiotics invalid.Small-molecular inhibitors about the enzyme and their mechanism are widely investigated but they may result in unavoidable adverse reactions and drug-resistance.Herein,we propose a new therapeutic strategy of Chinese materioherbology,in which herbal medicine or traditional Chinese medicinal herbs can be employed as biological functional materials or refreshed/excited by means of materialogy.Nat-ural tea nanoclusters(TNCs)were extracted from tea to inhibitβ-lactamase.Different from the mechanism of small-molecular inhibitors inhibiting enzymes by binding to the corresponding active sites,the TNCs as a cap cover the protein pocket and create a spatial barrier between the active sites and antibiotics,which was named“capping-pocket”effect.TNCs were combined with amoxicillin sodium(Amo)to treat the methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus(MRSA)pneumonia in mice.This combinatorial therapy remarkably outperforms antibiotic monotherapy in reducing MRSA infections and the associated inflammation in mice.The therapeutic strategy exhibited excellent biosafety,without any side effects,even in piglets.Hence,TNCs have great clinical value in potentiatingβ-lactam antibiotic activity for combatting multi-drug resistant pathogen infections and the'pocket capping'effect can guide the design of new enzyme inhibitors in near future. | Ziao Zhou Jun Li Lei Tan Xiangmei Liu Yufeng Zheng Zhenduo Cui Changyi Li Kelvin Wai Kwok Yeung Zhaoyang Li Yanqin Liang Shengli Zhu Shuilin Wu | 2022 | Fundamental Research2022,2,3: | 1 |
