AbstractThe hydrogenation of coal-based acetylene to ethylene is an important approach to establishing a non-oil route to ethylene production, yet it suffers from high H2 consumption as well as a high energy input. Here we report a H2-free acetylene hydrogenation process achieved by directly using water as the hydrogen source and low-cost CO as the oxygen acceptor over a Au/α-MoC catalyst.

3. Results 3.1. Morphological and Physiological Differences in Eggplants Grown under Different Waterlogging ConditionsAccording to the phenotype observations, the leaves of eggplant seedlings gradually droop as the waterlogging time extended during the sampling period. As the waterlogging persisted, the seedlings eventually ceased to grow, and the leaves started to decay and fall off. Eventually, under such waterlogged conditions, the entire plant perished (Figure 1A).

Abstract:Waterlogging poses significant abiotic stress that endangers the survival of plants, including crops. In response, plants dramatically change their physiology to enhance their tolerance to waterlogging, such as proteome reconfiguration. Here, we utilized isobaric tags for the relative and absolute quantitation (iTRAQ)-based protein labeling technique to examine the proteomic changes induced by waterlogging in the roots of Solanum melongena L., a solanaceous plant.

AbstractThe carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide electroreduction reactions, when powered using low-carbon electricity, offer pathways to the decarbonization of chemical manufacture1,2. Copper (Cu) is relied on today for carbon–carbon coupling, in which it produces mixtures of more than ten C2+ chemicals3,4,5,6: a long-standing challenge lies in achieving selectivity to a single principal C2+ product7,8,9.

AbstractSubnanometric Cu clusters that contain only a small number of atoms exhibit unique and, often, unexpected catalytic behaviors compared with Cu nanoparticles and single atoms. However, due to the high mobility of Cu species, scalable synthesis of stable Cu clusters is still a major challenge. Herein, we report a facile and practical approach for scalable synthesis of stable supported Cu cluster catalysts.
