Hollow Metal-Organic Framework/MXene/Nanocellulose Composite Films for Giga/Terahertz Electromagnetic Shielding and Photothermal Conversion.

With the continuous advancement of communication technology, the escalating demand for electromagnetic shielding interference (EMI) materials with multifunctional and wideband EMI performance has become urgent. Controlling the electrical and magnetic components and designing the EMI material structure have attracted extensive interest, but remain a huge challenge. Herein, we reported the alternating electromagnetic structure composite films composed of hollow metal-organic frameworks/layered MXene/nanocellulose (HMN) by alternating vacuum-assisted filtration process. The HMN composite films exhibit excellent EMI shielding effectiveness performance in the GHz frequency (66.8 dB at Ka-band) and THz frequency (114.6 dB at 0.1-4.0 THz). Besides, the HMN composite films also exhibit a high reflection loss of 39.7 dB at 0.7 THz with an effective absorption bandwidth up to 2.1 THz. Moreover, HMN composite films show remarkable photothermal conversion performance, which can reach 104.6 °C under 2.0 Sun and 235.4 °C under 0.8 W cm-2, respectively. The unique micro- and macro-structural design structures will absorb more incident electromagnetic waves via interfacial polarization/multiple scattering and produce more heat energy via the local surface plasmon resonance effect. These features make the HMN composite film a promising candidate for advanced EMI devices for future 6G communication and the protection of electronic equipment in cold environments.

Robust and Multifunctional Ti3 C2 Tx /Modified Sawdust Composite Paper for Electromagnetic Interference Shielding and Wearable Thermal Management.

Robust, ultrathin, and environmental-friendliness papers that synergize high-efficiency electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding, personal thermal management, and wearable heaters are essential for next-generation smart wearable devices. Herein, MXene nanocomposite paper with a nacre-like structure for EMI shielding and electrothermal/photothermal conversion is fabricated by vacuum filtration of Ti3 C2 Tx MXene and modified sawdust. The hydrogen bonding and highly oriented structure enhance the mechanical properties of the modified sawdust/MXene composite paper (SM paper). The SM paper with 50 wt% MXene content shows a strength of 23 MPa and a toughness of 13 MJ·M-3 . The conductivity of the SM paper is 10 195 S·m-1 , resulting in an EMI shielding effectiveness (SE) of 67.9 dB and a specific SE value (SSE/t) of 8486 dB·cm2 ·g-1 . In addition, the SM paper exhibits excellent thermal management performance including high light/electro-to-thermal conversion, rapid Joule heating and photothermal response, and sufficient heating stability. Notably, the SM paper exhibits low infrared emissivity and distinguished infrared stealth performance, camouflaging a high-temperature heater surface of 147-81 °C. The SM-based e-skin achieves visualization of Joule heating and realizes human motions monitoring. This work presents a new strategy for designing MXene-based wearable devices with great EMI shielding, artificial intelligence, and thermal management applications.

Population Genetic Analysis of Paris polyphylla var. yunnanensis Based on cpDNA Fragments.

Paris polyphylla var. yunnanensis is a well-known medicinal plant that is mainly distributed in Southwest China; however, its genetic diversity and biodiversity processes are poorly understood. In this study, the sequences of cpDNA trnL-trnF fragments of 15 wild populations and 17 cultivated populations of P. polyphylla var. yunnanensis were amplified, sequenced, and aligned to study the population genetics of this species. Genetic diversity was analyzed based on nucleotide diversity, haplotype diversity, Watterson diversity, population-level diversity, and species-level genetic diversity. Genetic structure and genetic differentiation were explored using haplotype distribution maps and genetic distance matrices. A total of 15 haplotypes were identified in the 32 populations of P. polyphylla var. yunnanensis. Five unique haplotypes were identified from the fourteen haplotypes of the cultivated populations, while only one unique haplotype was identified from the ten haplotypes of the wild populations. The haplotype richness and genetic diversity of the cultivated populations were higher than those of the wild populations (HT = 0.900 vs. 0.861). In addition, there were no statistically significant correlations between geographic distance and genetic distance in the cultivated populations (r = 0.16, p > 0.05), whereas there was a significant correlation between geographical distance and genetic structure in the wild populations (r = 0.32, p > 0.05), indicating that there was a geographical and genetic connection between the wild populations. There was only 2.5% genetic variation between the wild populations and cultivated populations, indicating no obvious genetic differentiation between the wild and cultivated populations. Overall, the genetic background of the cultivated populations was complex, and it was hypothesized that the unique haplotypes and higher diversity of the cultivated populations were caused by the mixed provenance of the cultivated populations.

Flexible MXene/Nanocellulose Composite Aerogel Film with Cellular Structure for Electromagnetic Interference Shielding and Photothermal Conversion.

With the rapid development of wearable devices and integrated systems, protection against electromagnetic waves is an issue. For solving the problems of poor flexibility and a tendency to corrode traditional electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding materials, two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterial MXene was employed to manufacture next-generation EMI shielding materials. Vacuum-assisted filtration combined with the liquid nitrogen prefreezing strategy was adopted to prepare flexible MXene/cellulose nanofibers (CNFs) composite aerogel film with unique cellular structure. Here, CNFs were employed as the reinforcement, and such a cellular structure design can effectively improve the shielding effectiveness (SE). In particular, the composite shows an outstanding EMI SE of 54 dB. Furthermore, the MXene/CNFs composite aerogel film exhibited prominent and steady photothermal conversion ability, which could obtain the maximum equilibrium temperature of 89.4 °C under an 808 nm NIR laser. Thus, our flexible composite aerogel film with appealing cellular construction holds great promise for wearable EMI shielding materials and heating applications in a cold and complex practical environment.

Full-band, multi-angle, multi-scale, and temporal dynamic field spectral measurements in China.

Field-measured spectra are critical for remote sensing physical modelling, retrieval of structural, biophysical, and biochemical parameters, and other practical applications. We present a library of field spectra, which includes (1) portable field spectroradiometer measurements of vegetation, soil, and snow in the full-wave band, (2) multi-angle spectra measurements of desert vegetation, chernozems, and snow with consideration of the anisotropic reflectance of land surface, (3) multi-scale spectra measurements of leaf and canopy of different vegetation cover surfaces, and (4) continuous reflectance spectra time-series data revealing vegetation growth dynamics of maize, rice, wheat, rape, grassland, and so on. To the best of our knowledge, this library is unique in simultaneously providing full-band, multi-angle, multi-scale spectral measurements of the main surface elements of China covering a large spatial extent over a 10-year period. Furthermore, the 101 by 101 satellite pixels of Landsat ETM/OLI and MODIS surface reflectance centered around the field site were extracted, providing a vital linkage between ground measurements and satellite observations. The code language used for this work is Matlab 2016a.

3D Janus structure MXene/cellulose nanofibers/luffa aerogels with superb mechanical strength and high-efficiency desalination for solar-driven interfacial evaporation.

Interfacial solar steam generation (ISSG) is considered to be an attractive technique to address the water shortage. However, developing a sustainable thermal management, salt rejection, and excellent mechanical strength ISSG device for long-term stability desalination is still a challenge. Herein, a biomass ISSG device with superb mechanical properties was prepared by introducing a luffa sponge as the skeleton and constructing the MXene/cellulose nanofibers (CNFs) aerogels via freeze-drying. The Janus MXene-decorated CNFs/luffa (JMCL) aerogels integrated the multifunction of fast water transport, good thermal management, and efficient photothermal conversion in a single module, to achieve high-efficiency desalination. 3D Janus structure endowed the JMCL aerogel with opposite wettability, which is feasible to construct the localized photothermal generation and self-floating. The mechanical strength of JMCL aerogels is 437 times that of MXene/CNFs aerogels. The JMCL aerogels delivered a water evaporation rate of 1.40 kg m-2h-1 and an efficiency of 91.20% under 1 sun illumination. The excellent salt resistance during 24 h working and long-term solar vapor generation of up to 28 days were achieved. The multifunctional JMCL aerogels with 3D Janus structure offer new insights for developing good durability and eco-friendly biopolymer-based steam generators.

Multifunctional MXene Conductive Zwitterionic Hydrogel for Flexible Wearable Sensors and Arrays.

Conductive hydrogels have good prospects in the fields of flexible electronic devices and artificial intelligence due to their biocompatibility, durability, and functional diversity. However, the process of hydrogel polymerization is time-consuming and energy-consuming, and freezing at zero temperature is inevitable, which seriously hinders its applications and working life. Herein, zwitterionic conductive hydrogels with self-adhesive and antifreeze properties were prepared in one minute by introducing two-dimensional (2D) MXene nanosheets into the autocatalytically enhanced system composed of tannic acid-modified cellulose nanofibers and zinc chloride. The system has strong environmental applicability (-60 to 40 °C), good stretchability (ductility ≈ 980%), durable adhesion (even after 30 days of exposure to air), and strong electrical conductivity (20 °C, 30 mS cm-1). By virtue of these advantages, the prepared zwitterionic hydrogels can be developed into flexible strain sensors to monitor large human movements and subtle physiological signals over a wide temperature range and to capture signals from handwriting and voice recognition. In addition, multiple flexible sensors can be assembled into a three-dimensional (3D) array, which can detect the magnitude and spatial distribution of strain or force. These results demonstrate that the prepared zwitterionic hydrogels have promising applications in the fields of medical monitoring and artificial intelligence.

Cellulose nanofiber/MXene/luffa aerogel for all-weather and high-efficiency cleanup of crude oil spills.

The remediation of heavy crude oil spills is a global challenge because frequent crude oil spills cause long-term damage to local living beings and marine ecosystems. Herein, a solar-driven and Joule-driven self-heated aerogel were developed as an all-weather adsorbent to efficiently absorb crude oil by obviously decreasing the viscosity of crude oil. The cellulose nanofiber (CNF)/MXene/luffa (CML) aerogel was fabricated via a simple freeze-drying method using CNF, MXene, and luffa as raw materials, and then coated with a layer of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) to make it hydrophobic and further increase oil-water selectivity. The aerogel can quickly reach 98 °C under 1 sun (1.0 kW/m2), which remains saturated temperature after 5 times photothermal heating/cooling cycles, indicating that the aerogel has great photothermal conversation capability and stability. Meanwhile, the aerogel can also rapidly rise to 110.8 °C with a voltage of 12 V. More importantly, the aerogel achieved the highest temperature of 87.2 °C under outdoor natural sunlight, providing a possibility for promising applications in practical situations. The remarkable heating capability enables the aerogel to decrease the viscosity of crude oil substantially and increase the absorption rate of crude oil by the physical capillary action. The proposed all-weather aerogel design provides a sustainable and promising solution for cleaning up crude oil spills.

Increasing temperature regulates the advance of peak photosynthesis timing in the boreal ecosystem.

The shift in vegetation phenology is an essential indicator of global climate change. Numerous researches based on reflectance-based vegetation index data have explored the changes in the start (SOS) and end (EOS) of vegetation life events at long time scales, while a huge discrepancy existed between the phenological metrics of vegetation structure and function. The peak photosynthesis timing (PPT), which is crucial in regulating terrestrial ecosystem carbon balance, has not received much attention. Using two global reconstructed solar-induced chlorophyll fluorescence data (CSIF and GOSIF) directly associated with vegetation photosynthesis, the spatio-temporal dynamics in PPT as well as the key environmental controls across the boreal ecosystem during 2001-2019 were systematically explored. Multi-year mean pattern showed that PPT mainly appeared in the first half of July. Compared to the northern Eurasia, later PPT appeared in the northern North America continent for about 4-5 days. Meanwhile, spatial trend in PPT exhibited an advanced trend during the last two decades. Especially, shrubland and grassland were obvious among all biomes. Spatial partial correlation analysis revealed that preseason temperature was the dominant environmental driver of PPT trends, occupying 81.32% and 78.04% of the total pixels of PPTCSIF and PPTGOSIF, respectively. Attribution analysis by ridge regression again emphasized the largest contribution of temperature to PPT dynamics in the boreal ecosystem by 52.22% (PPTCSIF) and 46.59% (PPTGOSIF), followed by radiation (PPTCSIF: 24.44%; PPTGOSIF: 28.66%) and precipitation (PPTCSIF: 23.34%; PPTGOSIF: 24.75%). These results have significant implications for deepening our understanding between vegetation photosynthetic phenology and carbon cycling with respect to future climate change in the boreal ecosystem.

Collaboration of two-star nanomaterials: The applications of nanocellulose-based metal organic frameworks composites.

Nanocellulose, as the star nanomaterial in carbohydrate polymers, has excellent mechanical properties, biodegradability, and easy chemical modification. However, further practical applications of nanocellulose are limited by their inadequate functionalization. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), as the star nanomaterial in functional polymers, have a large surface area, high porosity, and adjustable structure. The collaboration of nanocellulose and MOFs is a desirable strategy to make composites especially interesting for multifunctional and multi-field applications. What sparks will be produced by the collaboration of two-star nanomaterials? In this review article, we highlight an up-to-date overview of nanocellulose-based MOFs composites. The sewage treatment, gas separation, energy storage, and biomedical applications are mainly summarized. Finally, the challenges and research trends of nanocellulose-based MOFs composites are prospected. We hope this review may provide a valuable reference for the development and applications of carbohydrate polymer composites soon.

The state-of-the-art application of functional bacterial cellulose-based materials in biomedical fields.

Bacterial cellulose (BC) is a significant polysaccharide that bacteria create under specific growth conditions that exhibits high purity, high water-holding capacity, high crystallinity, strong mechanical capabilities, and high biocompatibility. Pure BC has been studied, marketed, and frequently combined with other materials to provide additional potential effects. Additionally, because of the abundance of hydroxyl groups in BC, it can be readily changed to yield derivatives or composites with improved physicochemical and functional characteristics for a variety of applications such as artificial blood vessel manufacturing, soft tissue engineering, and bone tissue engineering. In this review, state-of-the-art manufacturing, structural traits, and applications of BC are summarized, along with in situ and ex situ modification techniques and their biomedical applications. Finally, the future growth opportunities and obstacles for BC and its composites in the biological sector are anticipated.

Research progress of rhizosphere microorganisms in Fritillaria L. medicinal plants.

The soil's rhizosphere is a highly active place where the exchange of substances and information occurs among plants, soils, and microorganisms. The microorganisms involved are crucial to the activities of plant growth and development, metabolism, and reproduction. Fritillaria L. medicinal plants are unique Chinese medicinal ingredients, but the continuous cropping obstacles formed in the artificial planting process is severely harmful to the growth and development of these medicinal plants. In this review, we summarized the current species and distribution of Fritillaria L. in China, and analyzed the changes in microbial diversity (mainly among bacteria and fungi) in the rhizosphere of these plants under long-term continuous cropping. The fungi showed an increasing trend in the soil rhizosphere, resulting in the transition of the soil from the high-fertility "bacterial type" to the low-fertility "fungal type" as planting years increased. Furthermore, the interaction between Fritillaria L. medicinal plants and the rhizosphere microorganisms was reviewed, and promising applications for the rhizosphere microbiome in the cultivation of Fritillaria L. medicinal plants were suggested. It is expected that this review will facilitate the in-depth understanding of rhizosphere microorganisms in the growth, accumulation of active ingredients, and disease control of Fritillaria L.

Multifunctional hybrid hydrogel with transparency, conductivity, and self-adhesion for soft sensors using hemicellulose-decorated polypyrrole as a conductive matrix.

Polymers with high conductivity and cross-linking ability are ideal materials for the preparation of conductive hydrogels for application in wearable electronic devices. However, the fabrication of conductive polymer-incorporated hydrogels with good synergistic properties remains a great challenge due to the hydrophobicity and opacity of conjugated π conductive polymers. In this study, a multifunctional hybrid hydrogel was prepared by incorporating hemicellulose-decorated polypyrrole (H/PPY), polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), and tannic acid (TA) into a polyacrylamide (PAM) network. The addition of excess ammonium persulfate (APS) in the process of gelation not only initiated the polymerization of PAM but also resulted in the change of the hydrogel from opaque to transparent by continuously breaking and reducing the size of the PPY particles. The hybrid hydrogel exhibited high transparency and conductivity, good adhesion ability and mechanical performance, and high resistance strain sensitivity and could accurately monitor the strain signals of the index finger and elbow flexion and pulse beat during rest and exercise, which has promising potential for use in wearable or implantable smart sensor devices, electronic skins, and artificial intelligence applications.

Evaluation of Empirical and Machine Learning Approaches for Estimating Monthly Reference Evapotranspiration with Limited Meteorological Data in the Jialing River Basin, China.

The accurate estimation of reference evapotranspiration (ET0) is crucial for water resource management and crop water requirements. This study aims to develop an efficient and accurate model to estimate the monthly ET0 in the Jialing River Basin, China. For this purpose, a relevance vector machine, complex extreme learning machine (C-ELM), extremely randomized trees, and four empirical equations were developed. Monthly climatic data including mean air temperature, solar radiation, relative humidity, and wind speed from 1964 to 2014 were used as inputs for modeling. A total comparison was made between all constructed models using four statistical indicators, i.e., the coefficient of determination (R2), Nash efficiency coefficient (NSE), root mean square error (RMSE) and mean absolute error (MAE). The outcome of this study revealed that the Hargreaves equation (R2 = 0.982, NSE = 0.957, RMSE = 7.047 mm month-1, MAE = 5.946 mm month-1) had better performance than the other empirical equations. All machine learning models generally outperformed the studied empirical equations. The C-ELM model (R2 = 0.995, NSE = 0.995, RMSE = 2.517 mm month-1, MAE = 1.966 mm month-1) had the most accurate estimates among all generated models and can be recommended for monthly ET0 estimation in the Jialing River Basin, China.

Cellulose nanofiber/molybdenum disulfide aerogels for ultrahigh photothermal effect.

The photothermal materials have a broad range of applications in crude oil spills treatment, desalination, and photothermal therapy. However, the rational construction of aerogels with exceptional photothermal performance is highly desired yet still challenging. Herein, a class of stable aerogels comprised of molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) nanoflowers and cellulose nanofibers (CNFs) was fabricated, affording extraordinary light-to-heat energy conversion capability. Benefiting from the intercalated porous structure, the resultant cellulose nanofibers/molybdenum disulfide (CNF/MoS2) aerogels deliver an ultrahigh temperature output up to 260.4 °C with near infrared (NIR) laser power densities of 0.8 W cm-2. Remarkably, when NIR laser power density increased to 1.0 W cm-2, the aerogels began to burn, achieving the superhigh surface temperature of âˆ¼ 690 °C. The combustion process of CNF/MoS2 composite aerogels was evaluated in detail. Therefore, this work provides experiment evidence and theoretical basis for the rational applications of photothermal materials at high temperature in future.

Assessment of NO2 population exposure from 2005 to 2020 in China.

Nitrogen dioxide (NO2) is a major air pollutant with serious environmental and human health impacts. A random forest model was developed to estimate ground-level NO2 concentrations in China at a monthly time scale based on ground-level observed NO2 concentrations, tropospheric NO2 column concentration data from the Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI), and meteorological covariates (the MAE, RMSE, and R2 of the model were 4.16 µg/m3, 5.79 µg/m3, and 0.79, respectively, and the MAE, RMSE, and R2 of the cross-validation were 4.3 µg/m3, 5.82 µg/m3, and 0.77, respectively). On this basis, this article analyzed the spatial and temporal variation in NO2 population exposure in China from 2005 to 2020, which effectively filled the gap in the long-term NO2 population exposure assessment in China. NO2 population exposure over China has significant spatial aggregation, with high values mainly distributed in large urban clusters in the north, east, south, and provincial capitals in the west. The NO2 population exposure in China shows a continuous increasing trend before 2012 and a continuous decreasing trend after 2012. The change in NO2 population exposure in western and southern cities is more influenced by population density compared to northern cities. NO2 pollution in China has substantially improved from 2013 to 2020, but Urumqi, Lanzhou, and Chengdu still maintain high NO2 population exposure. In these cities, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) could reduce NO2 population exposure through more monitoring instruments and limiting factory emissions.

Multifunctional Cellulose and Cellulose-Based (Nano) Composite Adsorbents.

In this review article, we first report the recent progress of modification and functionalization of cellulose adsorbents. In addition, the adsorbents produced by the modification and functionalization of carboxymehyl cellulose are also introduced. Moreover, the cellulose-based (nano) composites as adsorbents are reviewed in detail. Finally, the development prospect of cellulose and cellulose-based (nano) composites is studied in the field of the environment. In this review article, a critical comment is given based on our knowledge. It is believed that these biomass adsorbents will play an increasingly important role in the field of the environment.

Lignin-Based/Polypyrrole Carbon Nanofiber Electrode With Enhanced Electrochemical Properties by Electrospun Method.

Tailoring the structure and properties of lignin is an important step toward electrochemical applications. In this study, lignin/polypyrrole (PPy) composite electrode films with microporous and mesoporous structures were designed effectively by electrostatic spinning, carbonization, and in situ polymerization methods. The lignin can not only reduce the cost of carbon fiber but also increase the specific surface area of composite films due to the removal of carbonyl and phenolic functional groups of lignin during carbonization. Besides, the compact three-dimensional (3D) conductive network structures were constructed with PPy particles densely coated on the lignin nanofibers, which was helpful to improve the conductivity and fast electron transfer during the charging and discharging processes. The synthesized lignin carbon fibers/PPy anode materials had good electrochemical performance in 1 M H2SO4 electrolyte. The results showed that, at a current density of 1 A g-1, the lignin carbon nanofibers/PPy (LCNFs/PPy) had a larger specific capacitance of 213.7 F g-1 than carbon nanofibers (CNFs), lignin carbon nanofibers (LCNFs), and lignin/PPy fiber (LPAN/PPy). In addition, the specific surface area of LCNFs/PPy reached 872.60 m2 g-1 and the average pore size decreased to 2.50 nm after being coated by PPy. Therefore, the independent non-binder and self-supporting conductive film is expected to be a promising electrode material for supercapacitors with high performance.

Afforestation influences soil organic carbon and its fractions associated with aggregates in a karst region of Southwest China.

Variations in soil organic carbon (SOC) and its fractions within soil aggregates in response to land-use change are important to understand the carbon cycles in terrestrial ecosystem. However, responses of total SOC, SOC fractions, and SOC stability in different soil aggregates to land-use change are less addressed, especially in karst regions with serious land degradation. Therefore, bulk soil samples were collected under four land uses with similar geographical characteristics and previous framing practices including farmland (FL), Bamboo forest (BA), landscape tree planting (LAT), and orange orchards (ORO) in a karst region of Southwest China. Contents of total SOC and three carbon fractions based on their degree of oxidizability (F1, very labile; F2, inert; F3, oxidizable resistant) in bulk soil and different soil aggregates (macro-aggregate, micro-aggregate, and silt+clay fraction) were measured. Afforestation significantly increased contents of total SOC and three carbon fractions in bulk soil and soil aggregates, and the influence was more obvious in macro-aggregate than the other aggregates. Contents of total SOC, F1, F2, and F3 under afforestation land increased by 41.73%, 58.19%, 33.91%, and 40.55%, respectively, in bulk soil, by 55.60%, 79.24%, 121.77%, and 43.30%, respectively, in macro-aggregate, by 52.80%, 33.57%, 20.14%, and 75.02%, respectively, in micro-aggregate, and by 26.21%, 35.60%, 29.26%, and 23.75%, respectively, in silt+clay fraction than those under FL. In bulk soil and soil aggregates, proportions of F1, F2, and F3 in total SOC ranged from 0.11 to 0.18, from 0.13 to 0.22, and from 0.60 to 0.73, respectively, suggesting that the stable carbon was the predominant carbon fraction in the study area. Afforestation decreased the values of stability of SOC in macro-aggregate and silt+clay fraction, while it increased the value in micro-aggregate. Although both BA and ORO had higher SOC content in bulk soil than the LAT, but the SOC stability in bulk soil under BA was significantly lower than that under ORO. In conclude, afforestation form FL improved SOC content and altered SOC stability in bulk soil and soil aggregates, and conversion of FL to ORO might be the best choice to increase SOC sequestration in the four land-use types compared in karst regions of Southwest China.
