Review of Recent Advances in QEPAS-Based Trace Gas Sensing

Applied Sciences, 2018
Quartz-enhanced photoacoustic spectroscopy (QEPAS) is an improvement of the conventional microphone-based photoacoustic spectroscopy. In the QEPAS technique, a commercially available millimeter-sized piezoelectric element quartz tuning fork (QTF) is used

Hydrogels Incorporating Donor–Acceptor Stenhouse Adducts as a Platform for Photoinduced, On‐Off Switchable Release of Small Molecule Cargos

Macromolecular Rapid Communications, EarlyView.
Donor–acceptor Stenhouse aDdducts (DASAs) are known for their photoinduced tautomerization, which, when conjugated to block copolymers, can self‐assemble into tuneable polymersomes. These DASA‐polymersomes are being investigated for light‐controlled cargo release in biomedical applications.

Rieske Iron–Sulfur Cluster Proteins From an Anaerobic Ammonium Oxidizer Suggest Unusual Energetics in Their Parent Rieske/Cytochrome b Complexes

Proteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Anaerobic ammonium‐oxidizing (anammox) bacteria employ a unique, hydrazine‐based pathway to obtain energy from nitrite and ammonium. These organisms possess distinct Rieske/cytochrome b complexes whose precise role in anammox metabolism remains unclear, but which have been proposed to include the generation of NAD(P)H.

Enhanced Low‐Frequency Microwave Absorption and Corrosion Resistance of FeSiAl Using Low‐Melting‐Point Glass Phase Coatings

Rare Metals, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study developed a FeSiAl@LMPGP composite material to address the demand for low‐frequency electromagnetic absorption. Through controllable heat treatment, FeSiAl particles and PbO nanoparticles self‐assembled into a high‐density Mott–Schottky heterointerface structure, which exhibited a significant built‐in electric field (BIEF) effect ...
