Experimental neutron scattering evidence for proton polaron in hydrated metal oxide proton conductors

open access: yesNature Communications, 2017
Hydration of oxygen vacancies could form hydroxyl groups with interstitial structural protons. Here a quasi-elastic neutron scattering study reveals proton polarons in proton-conducting ceramic electrolytes, and the proton transport turns out to be a ...

A surface proton antenna in carbonic anhydrase II supports lactate transport in cancer cells

open access: yeseLife, 2018
Many tumor cells produce vast amounts of lactate and acid, which have to be removed from the cell to prevent intracellular lactacidosis and suffocation of metabolism.

A two-domain elevator mechanism for sodium/proton antiport [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Sodium/proton (Na+/H+) antiporters, located at the plasma membrane in every cell, are vital for cell homeostasis1. In humans, their dysfunction has been linked to diseases, such as hypertension, heart failure and epilepsy, and they are well-established ...

Dynamic Proton Activity Regulation via Brønsted Bases Enables Durable and High‐Energy‐Density Zn||MnO2 Batteries

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Our study demonstrates Brønsted base‐mediated proton transfer for HOAc dissociation regulation in weakly acidic electrolytes, where imidazole achieves optimal dynamic proton equilibrium‐simultaneously stabilizing Zn anodes and enabling efficient Mn2+/MnO2 conversion.

Proton Transport and pH Control in Fungi [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Despite diverse and changing extracellular environments, fungi maintain a relatively constant cytosolic pH and numerous organelles of distinct lumenal pH. Key players in fungal pH control are V-ATPases and the P-type proton pump Pma1. These two proton pumps act in concert with a large array of other transporters and are highly regulated. The activities

Exploring Pb‐Chelation Chemistry in the Crystallization Dynamics of Halide Perovskites

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A mechanism of how Pb‐chelation chemistry governs coordination geometry and initial nucleation behavior at the precursor level of halide perovskite, by regulating the deprotonation state of a chelating additive, is elucidated. This allows for innovative reaction‐system design principles that promote coherent growth while suppressing defect formation in

Moving Beyond Oligoethers: Polar Side‐Chain Engineering for Aqueous Mixed Ionic–Electronic Conductors

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
We investigate how side‐chain chemistry and hydrogen bonding affect electrochemical doping in poly(propylenedioxythiophene) polymers. Replacing oligoether side chains with hydroxyl or carboxylic acid groups nearly triples electrochemical conductivity.

Nature-inspired solid-state proton diode membrane for high-performance force-electric conversion

open access: yesNature Communications
Bioinspired ion channel membranes with ultrafast and directional transport capabilities, akin to biological protein-based channel, are crucial for various energy and sensing applications. However, controlling highly active protons and advancing practical

Important Trends in UCP3 Investigation

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2019
Membrane uncoupling protein 3 (UCP3), a member of the mitochondrial uncoupling protein family, was discovered in 1997. UCP3′s properties, such as its high homology to other mitochondrial carriers, especially to UCP2, its short lifetime and low ...

Tuning Separator Chemistry: Improving Zn Anode Compatibility via Functionalized Chitin Nanofibers

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Nanochitin derived from waste shrimp shells is used to fabricate separators for aqueous zinc batteries. By tuning the density of amine and carboxylic surface groups, water mobility at the separator interface is controlled, promoting uniform zinc deposition, suppressing dendrite growth, and enabling exceptional cycling stability exceeding 2000 h ...
