8 × 104. This value ranks as the highest among other COF-based and metal-organic-framework-based semiconducting materials under similar conditions. These results illustrated the enormous potential of 2D porphyrin COFs for future applications in optoelectronic devices and constituted an important step toward the development of new types of functional crystalline materials.The ability to detect cell surface proteins using fluorescent-dye-labeled antibodies is crucial for the reliable identification of many cell types. However, the different types of cell surface proteins used to identify cells are currently limited in number because they need to be expressed at high levels to exceed background cellular autofluorescence, especially in the shorter-wavelength region. Herein we report on a new method, quinone methide-based catalyzed labeling for signal amplification (CLAMP), in which the fluorescence signal is amplified by an enzymatic reaction that strongly facilitates the detection of cell surface proteins on living cells. We used β-galactosidase as an amplification enzyme and designed a substrate for it, called MUGF, that contains a fluoromethyl group. Upon removal of the galactosyl group in MUGF by β-galactosidase labeling of the target cell surface proteins, the resulting product containing the quinone methide group was found to be both cell-membrane-permeable and reactive with intracellular nucleophiles, thereby providing fluorescent adducts. Using this method, we successfully detected several cell surface proteins, including programmed death ligand 1 protein, which is difficult to detect using conventional fluorescent-dye-labeled antibodies.Two novel red thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) emitters [triazatruxene (TAT)-dibenzo[a,c]phenazine (DBPZ) and TAT-fluorine-substituted dibenzo[a,c]phenazine (FDBPZ)] were developed by incorporating TAT as the electron donor (D) and DBPZ or FDBPZ as the electron acceptor (A). Both compounds showed aggregation-induced emission behaviors and bright red emission in neat films. Benefited from the rigid and large planar conjugated structure of TAT and DBPZ, TAT-DBPZ and TAT-FDBPZ realized high photoluminescence quantum yields in solid states. Meanwhile, the large steric hindrance between TAT and DBPZ segments produced small singlet-triplet energy splitting (ΔEST), leading to short delayed fluorescence lifetimes and high reverse intersystem crossing (RISC) rate (>106 s-1) for both compounds. The solution-processable doped organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) based on TAT-DBPZ achieved a high external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 15.4% with a red emission peak at 604 nm, which was one of the highly efficient solution-processable red TADF OLEDs. TAT-FDBPZ-based doped devices also showed a red emission peak at 611 nm with a maximum EQE of 9.2% and low-efficiency roll-off ratios of 1.0% at 100 cd m-2 and 19% at 1000 cd m-2. Furthermore, their solution-processable nondoped devices displayed EQEs of 5.6 and 2.9% with the red-shifted emission peaks at 626 and 641 nm, respectively. These results indicate the huge potential of utilization of TAT as the donor unit to achieve highly efficient and low-efficiency roll-off solution-processable red TADF OLEDs.Exfoliation of graphene oxide (GO) via thermal expansion is regarded as the most promising approach to obtain few-layer graphene (FLG) in bulk. Herein, we introduce an efficient strategy for improving the exfoliation process by adding a tiny amount of lithium nitrate in the precursors, which significantly enhances the removal of oxygen-containing functional groups and produces 1-2 layer graphene. FLG-supported highly dispersed Cu nanoparticles (NPs, ≈4.2 nm) can be further synthesized through exfoliating the mixture of GO, lithium nitrate, and copper(II) nitrate, which displayed superior catalytic activity and stability in the synthesis of dimethyl carbonate (DMC) using liquid methanol oxidative carbonylation. The characterization results demonstrate that during the thermal expansion process, lithium nitrate was decomposed to Li2O and immediately reacted with CO2 released by the decomposition of GO to form stable Li2CO3, which promotes efficient charge transfer and produces Cuδ+ (0 less then δ less then 1) species in the Cu/Li-PGO catalyst. Density functional theory calculations prove that the presence of Cuδ+ markedly facilitates CO adsorption over the resulting catalyst and causes a decrease of the energy barrier of the rate-limiting step for DMC formation (CO insertion). These findings give a theoretical explanation of the enhanced catalytic performance of the Cu/Li-PGO catalyst. The present work provides a simple and practical avenue to the exfoliation of graphene and the dispersions of metal NPs on graphene sheets.Bismuthene, as a novel two-dimensional (2D) material, has attracted extensive attention because of its outstanding properties including narrow band gap, stability at room temperature, nonlinear optical transmission, and so on. https://www.selleckchem.com/products/abt-199.html In this paper, the physical characteristic, nonlinear optical response, and ultrafast photonics application of few-layer bismuthene are studied experimentally. By the balanced twin-detector measurement method, the saturable absorption property of few-layer bismuthene with a modulation depth of 2.5% and saturable intensity of 110 MW/cm2 at the optical communication band (C-band) is illustrated. Dependent on a few-layer bismuthene saturable absorber, an all-fiber ultrashort pulse laser is fabricated and the proposed fiber laser can operate with coexistence of harmonic mode-locking and dual-wavelength mode-locking. The different laser generations of harmonic and dual wavelength depend on the saturable absorption of few-layer bismuthene, the suitable birefringence and nonlinearity strength in the laser cavity. The results suggest that the ultrashort pulse laser obtained based on few-layer bismuthene could be applied to the field of pump-probe experiments and tunable terahertz radiation generation potentially.The exact role of a defect structure on transition metal compounds for electrocatalytic oxygen evolution reaction (OER), which is a very dynamic process, remains unclear. Studying the structure-activity relationship of defective electrocatalysts under operando conditions is crucial for understanding their intrinsic reaction mechanism and dynamic behavior of defect sites. Co3O4 with rich oxygen vacancy (VO) has been reported to efficiently catalyze OER. Herein, we constructed pure spinel Co3O4 and VO-rich Co3O4 as catalyst models to study the defect mechanism and investigate the dynamic behavior of defect sites during the electrocatalytic OER process by various operando characterizations. Operando electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and cyclic voltammetry (CV) implied that the VO could facilitate the pre-oxidation of the low-valence Co (Co2+, part of which was induced by the VO to balance the charge) at a relatively lower applied potential. This observation confirmed that the VO could initialize the surface reconstruction of VO-Co3O4 prior to the occurrence of the OER process.
