Self-Assembled Copper-Amino Acid Nanoparticles for in Situ Glutathione "AND" H2O2 Sequentially Triggered Chemodynamic Therapy.

Abstract: Nanoformulations that can respond to the specific tumor microenvironment (TME), such as a weakly acidic pH, low oxygen, and high glutathione (GSH), show promise for killing cancer cells with minima...

Enhanced Capacity and Rate Capability of Nitrogen/Oxygen Dual-Doped Hard Carbon in Capacitive Potassium-Ion Storage.

Abstract: The intercalation of potassium ions into graphite is demonstrated to be feasible, while the electrochemical performance of potassium-ion batteries (KIBs) remains unsatisfying. More effort is needed to improve the specific capacity while maintaining a superior rate capability. As an attempt, nitrogen/oxygen dual-doped hierarchical porous hard carbon (NOHPHC) is introduced as the anode in KIBs by carbonizing and acidizing the NH2 -MIL-101(Al) precursor. Specifically, the NOHPHC electrode delivers high reversible capacities of 365 and 118 mA h g-1 at 25 and 3000 mA g-1 , respectively. The capacity retention reaches 69.5% at 1050 mA g-1 for 1100 cycles. The reasons for the enhanced electrochemical performance, such as the high capacity, good cycling stability, and superior rate capability, are analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively. Quantitative analysis reveals that mixed mechanisms, including capacitance and diffusion, account for the K-ion storage, in which the capacitance plays a more important role. Specifically, the enhanced interlayer spacing (0.39 nm) enables the intercalation of large K ions, while the high specific surface area of ≈1030 m2 g-1 and the dual-heteroatom doping (N and O) are conducive to the reversible adsorption of K ions.

High electrochemical performance of monodisperse NiCo₂O₂ mesoporous microspheres as an anode material for Li-ion batteries

Abstract: Binary metal oxides have been regarded as ideal and potential anode materials, which can ameliorate and offset the electrochemical performance of the single metal oxides, such as reversible capacity, structural stability and electronic conductivity. In this work, monodisperse NiCo2O4 mesoporous microspheres are fabricated by a facile solvothermal method followed by pyrolysis of the Ni0.33Co0.67CO3 precursor. The Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) surface area of NiCo2O4 mesoporous microspheres is determined to be about 40.58 m2 g–1 with dominant pore diameter of 14.5 nm and narrow size distribution of 10–20 nm. Our as-prepared NiCo2O4 products were evaluated as the anode material for the lithium-ion-battery (LIB) application. It is demonstrated that the special structural features of the NiCo2O4 microspheres including uniformity of the surface texture, the integrity and porosity exert significant effect on the electrochemical performances. The discharge capacity of NiCo2O4 microspheres could reach 1198 mA h g–1...

Dark Matter Results from First 98.7 Days of Data from the PandaX-II Experiment.

Abstract: We report the weakly interacting massive particle (WIMP) dark matter search results using the first physics-run data of the PandaX-II 500 kg liquid xenon dual-phase time-projection chamber, operating at the China JinPing underground laboratory. No dark matter candidate is identified above background. In combination with the data set during the commissioning run, with a total exposure of 3.3×10^{4} kg day, the most stringent limit to the spin-independent interaction between the ordinary and WIMP dark matter is set for a range of dark matter mass between 5 and 1000 GeV/c^{2}. The best upper limit on the scattering cross section is found 2.5×10^{-46} cm^{2} for the WIMP mass 40 GeV/c^{2} at 90% confidence level.

Observation of a charged charmoniumlike structure in e+ e- → (D* D*)± π∓ at √s = 4.26 GeV.

Abstract: We study the process e(+)e(-) -> pi(+)pi(-) J/psi at a center-of-mass energy of 4.260 GeV using a 525 pb(-1) data sample collected with the BESIII detector operating at the Beijing Electron Positron Collider. The Born cross section is measured to be (62.9 +/- 1.9 +/- 3.7) pb, consistent with the production of the Y(4260). We observe a structure at around 3.9 GeV/c(2) in the pi(+/-) J/psi mass spectrum, which we refer to as the Z(c)(3900). If interpreted as a new particle, it is unusual in that it carries an electric charge and couples to charmonium. A fit to the pi(+/-) J/psi invariant mass spectrum, neglecting interference, results in a mass of (3899.0 +/- 3.6 +/- 4.9) MeV/c(2) and a width of (46 +/- 10 +/- 20) MeV. Its production ratio is measured to be R = (sigma(e(+)e(-) -> pi(+/-) Z(c)(3900)(-/+) -> pi(+)pi(-) J/psi)/sigma(e(+)e(-) -> pi(+)pi(-) J/psi)) = (21.5 +/- 3.3 +/- 7.5)%. In all measurements the first errors are statistical and the second are systematic.
