The application software based on the proposed algorithm running on the Android platform was also developed, demonstrating the potential of remote diagnosis.We report the improved direct access to red-emitting BOIMPY fluorophores (λ ≈ 600 nm) via a simple one-pot approach. Our method starts from easily available benzimidazole-2-carboxylic acids and not only greatly improves the overall yields but also saves both costly reagents and time. In addition, the method facilitates the synthesis of novel unsymmetrical BOIMPY motifs. Therefore, these BOIMPY scaffolds derived from the BODIPY core become more accessible for applications as fluorophores at the appealing red edge of the visible spectrum.Soluble low-molecular-weight oligomers formed during the early stage of amyloid aggregation are considered the major toxic species in amyloidosis. The structure-function relationship between oligomeric assemblies and the cytotoxicity in amyloid diseases are still elusive due to the heterogeneous and transient nature of these aggregation intermediates. To uncover the structural characteristics of toxic oligomeric intermediates, we compared the self-assembly dynamics and structures of SOD128-38, a cytotoxic fragment of the superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) associated with the amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, with its two nontoxic mutants G33V and G33W using molecular dynamics simulations. Single-point glycine substitutions in SOD128-38 have been reported to abolish the amyloid toxicity. Our simulation results showed that the toxic SOD128-38 and its nontoxic mutants followed different aggregation pathways featuring distinct aggregation intermediates. Specifically, wild-type SOD128-38 initially self-assembled into random-coil-rich oligomers, among which fibrillar aggregates composed of well-defined curved single-layer β-sheets were nucleated via coil-to-sheet conversions and the formation of β-barrels as intermediates. In contrast, the nontoxic G33V/G33W mutants readily assembled into small β-sheet-rich oligomers and then coagulated with each other into cross-β fibrils formed by two-layer β-sheets without forming β-barrels as the intermediates. The direct observation of β-barrel oligomers during the assembly of toxic SOD128-38 fragments but not the nontoxic glycine-substitution mutants strongly supports β-barrels as the toxic oligomers in amyloidosis, probably via interactions with the cell membrane and forming amyloid pores. this website With well-defined structures, the β-barrel might serve as a novel therapeutic target against amyloid-related diseases.Micron-sized single crystal particles could be used to intensify structural changes between bulk and surface area during the charge-discharge process owing to their long-range order. In this study, the effects of Mn3+ formation-migration and oxygen loss on the structure change from the bulk side to the near surface in single crystalline Li1.2Mn0.54Ni0.13Co0.13O2 were decoupled by regulating the voltage windows of 2-4.5, 3-4.8, and 2-4.8 V because Mn3+ formation-migration and oxygen loss mainly occurred below 3 V and beyond 4.5 V, respectively. It is found that oxygen vacancies and phase transformation can be retarded by suppressing the formation-migration of Mn3+. Finally, we also conducted an important insight that boron ion doping in tetrahedral site could be used to suppress Mn3+ migration from octahedral site to tetrahedral site and disrupt the synergistic effect of Mn3+ migration and oxygen loss.Two-dimensional (2D) metallic transition-metal dichalcogenides (MTMDCs) are considered as ideal electrode materials for enhancing the device performances of 2D semiconducting transition-metal dichalcogenides, due to their similar atomic structures and complementary electronic properties. Vanadium ditelluride (VTe2) behaves as a fascinating material in MTMDCs family, presenting room-temperature ferromagnetism, charge density waves order, and topological property. However, its practical applications in universal electrode/energy-related fields remain unexplored. Herein, we achieved the direct synthesis of ultrathin, large-domain, and thickness-tunable 1T-VTe2 nanosheets on an easily available mica substrate by chemical vapor deposition (CVD). We further uncover that the CVD-derived 1T-VTe2 can serve as a high-performance electrode material thanks to its ultrahigh conductivity. Accordingly, a 6 times higher field-effect mobility (∼47.5 cm2 V-1 s-1) was achieved in 1T-VTe2-contacted monolayer MoS2 devices than that using a conventional Ti/Au electrode (∼8.1 cm2 V-1 s-1). Moreover, the CVD-synthesized 1T-VTe2 nanosheets are revealed to present excellent electrocatalytic activity for hydrogen evolution reaction. These results should propel the direct application of CVD-grown 2D MTMDCs as high-performance electrode materials in all 2D materials related devices.n-Type polymers with deep-positioned lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) energy levels are essential for enabling n-type organic thin-film transistors (OTFTs) with high stability and n-type organic thermoelectrics (OTEs) with high doping efficiency and promising thermoelectric performance. Bithiophene imide (BTI) and its derivatives have been demonstrated as promising acceptor units for constructing high-performance n-type polymers. However, the electron-rich thiophene moiety in BTI leads to elevated LUMOs for the resultant polymers and hence limits their n-type performance and intrinsic stability. Herein, we addressed this issue by introducing strong electron-withdrawing cyano functionality on BTI and its derivatives. We have successfully overcome the synthetic challenges and developed a series of novel acceptor building blocks, CNI, CNTI, and CNDTI, which show substantially higher electron deficiencies than does BTI. On the basis of these novel building blocks, acceptor-acceptor type homopolymers and copolymers were successfully synthesized and featured greatly suppressed LUMOs (-3.64 to -4.11 eV) versus that (-3.48 eV) of the control polymer PBTI. Their deep-positioned LUMOs resulted in improved stability in OTFTs and more efficient n-doping in OTEs for the corresponding polymers with a highest electrical conductivity of 23.3 S cm-1 and a power factor of ∼10 μW m-1 K-2. The conductivity and power factor are among the highest values reported for solution-processed molecularly n-doped polymers. The new CNI, CNTI, and CNDTI offer a remarkable platform for constructing n-type polymers, and this study demonstrates that cyano-functionalization of BTI is a very effective strategy for developing polymers with deep-lying LUMOs for high-performance n-type organic electronic devices.
