Catalysts supported on CeO2 were prepared using various Ru precursors. The H2-TPR profile of the catalyst was obtained beginning at -70 °C for the first time, and a previously unreported reduction peak was observed at approximately 50 °C. The lower peak temperature was associated with a higher ammonia synthesis activity.Two-dimensional (2D) magnets simultaneously possessing a high transition temperature and large perpendicular magnetic anisotropy are extremely rare, but essential for highly efficient spintronic applications. By using ab initio and global minimization approaches, we for the first time report a completely planar hypercoordinate metalloborophene (α-FeB3) with high stability, unusual stoichiometry and exceptional magnetoelectronic properties. The α-FeB3 monolayer exhibits room-temperature ferromagnetism (Tc = 480 K), whose origin is first revealed by the B-mediated RKKY interaction in the 2D regime. Its perpendicular magnetic anisotropy is almost six times larger than that of the experimentally realized 2D CrI3 and Fe3GeTe2. Moreover, metallic α-FeB3 shows n- and p-type Dirac transport with a high Fermi velocity in both spin channels. Our results not only highlight a promising 2D ferromagnet for advanced spintronics, but also pave the way for exploring novel 2D magnetism in boron-based magnetic allotropes.We present a universal platform to synchronously analyze the possible existing state of two protein biomarkers. This platform is based on the integration of three logic gates NAND, OR and NOT. These logic gates were constructed by the principle of immune recognition and fluorescence quenching between fluorescein labelled antibodies/antigens and antibody-conjugated graphene oxide (GO). An artificial intelligence (AI) protein analysis process was designed by us and accordingly a small program was written in JAVA. This protein analysis process with its JAVA code may be applied to give logic judgments on the possible existing state of two protein components. We expect that our fundamental research on multiple biomarker analysis can provide potential application in AI-assisted medical diagnosis with the interface for remote medical treatment.Single-atom nanozymes have drawn wide attention in bio-sensing for their remarkable merits such as low cost, high stability, and maximum atom utilization. Herein, a colorimetric strategy based on Fe-N-C single-atom nanozymes (Fe/NC-SAs) was established for the detection of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity. The Fe/NC-SAs prepared by pyrolysis have excellent peroxidase-like activity and can oxidize 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) to a blue color product in the presence of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). When ascorbic acid (AA) is added to the system, the blue color fades, and the absorbance has a linear relationship with the concentration of AA. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) can catalyze the hydrolysis of ascorbic acid 2-phosphate (AAP) to produce AA. Thus, a strategy based on Fe/NC-SAs for the detection of ALP activity was established, which provided a linear range of 0.1-1.5 U L-1 and a limit of detection as low as 0.05 U L-1. Besides, Fe/NC-SAs showed high stability under harsh conditions. Moreover, an Fe/NC-SA-based assay was successfully validated using human serum samples for ALP determination with satisfactory results, and has broad prospects in the field of biosensing.A family of hexaazamacrocyclic lanthanide complexes, [Ln(Ln)(NCS)3] (LnIII = Dy, Er; n = 1-3) has been synthesized and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, magnetic measurements and ab initio calculations. Macrocyclic ligands (Ln) differ in the lateral spacers, which are aliphatic chains with two and three carbons (for Ln, n = 1 and 2, respectively), and an aromatic ring for Ln = 3. Modification of the macrocycle spacer tunes planarity and rigidity of the equatorial coordination for both oblate (Dy) and prolate (Er) lanthanide ions. Ac-susceptibility studies showed that four of the six complexes are field induced single molecule magnets (SMMs). Trends in magnetic relaxation properties are rationalized with the aid of ab initio multireference calculations, highlighting the combined influence of macrocycle planarity, lanthanide electronic density distribution and intermolecular interactions for the achievement of slow demagnetization.Two efficient lanthanide ion sensitizers 2,6-bis(oxazoline)-4-phenyl-pyridine (PyboxPh, 1) and 2,6-bis(oxazoline)-4-thiophen-2-yl-pyridine (Pybox2Th, 2) were synthesized. 1 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/c with cell parameters a = 16.3794(4) Å, b = 7.2856(2) Å, c = 11.7073(3) Å, β = 97.229(1)° and V = 1385.97(6) Å3. 2 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/n with cell parameters a = 5.9472(2), b = 16.0747(6), c = 14.3716(5) Å, β = 93.503(1)° and V = 1371.35(8) Å3. Photophysical characterization of 1 shows that its triplet state energy is located at 22 250 cm-1 and efficient energy transfer is observed for EuIII and TbIII. Solutions of [Ln(PyboxPh)3]3+ in dichloromethane display an emission efficiency of 37.2% for Ln[double bond, length as m-dash]Eu and 24.0% for Ln[double bond, length as m-dash]Tb. selleck inhibitor The excited state lifetimes for EuIII and TbIII are 2.227 ms and 723 μs, respectively. The triplet state energy of 2 is located at 19 280 cm-1 and is therefore too low to efficiently sensitize TbIII emission. However, the sensitization of EuIII is effective, with an emission quantum yield of 14.5% and an excited state lifetime of 714 μs. This shows that the derivatization of the chelator is strongly influenced by the aromatic substituents on the para-position of the pyridine ring. New isostructural 1  1 complexes of PyboxPh with EuIII (3) and TbIII (4) were also isolated and crystallize in the triclinic space group P1[combining macron] with cell parameters a = 9.1845(2) Å, b = 10.3327(2) Å, c = 11.9654(2) Å, α = 98.419(1)°, β = 108.109(1)°, γ = 91.791(1)°, V = 1064.08(4) Å3 and a = 7.8052(1) Å, b = 11.8910(1) Å, c = 14.2668(2) Å, α = 72.557(1)°, β = 86.355(1)°, γ = 77.223(1)°, V = 1231.95(3) Å3, respectively.Mitochondria damaged by ultraviolet-B radiation (UV-B, 280-315 nm) are removed by mitophagy, a selective autophagic process. Recently, we demonstrated that autophagy-deficient Arabidopsis thaliana mutants exhibit a UV-B-sensitive phenotype like that of cyclobutane pyrimidine dimer (CPD)-specific photolyase (PHR1)-deficient mutants. To explore the relationship between UV-B sensitivity and autophagy in UV-B-damaged plants, we monitored mitochondrial dynamics and autophagy in wild-type Arabidopsis (ecotype Columbia); an autophagy-deficient mutant, atg5; a PHR1-deficient mutant, phr1; an atg5 phr1 double mutant; and AtPHR1-overexpressing (AtPHR1ox) plants following high-dose UV-B exposure (1.5 W m-2 for 1 h). At 10 h after exposure, the number of mitochondria per mesophyll leaf cell was increased and the volumes of individual mitochondria were decreased independently of UV-B-induced CPD accumulation in all genotypes. At 24 h after exposure, the mitochondrial number had recovered or almost recovered to pre-exposure levels in plants with functional autophagy (WT, phr1, and AtPHR1ox), but had increased even further in atg5.
