Species diversity of Lachnum （Helotiales, Hyaloscyphaceae） from temperate China

INTRODUCTION A large number of Lachnum species have been reported from diverse regions of the world (Dennis, 1949; 1961; Galán and Raitviir, 1994; Haines, 1980; 1992; Haines and Dumont, 1984; Haines and Kaneko, 1984; Sharma, 1986; Singh, 1975; Spooner, 1987; Tai, 1979; Teng, 1934; 1963; Wu et al., 1998; Wu and Haines, 1999; Zhuang and Hyde, 2001). The earliest records of Lachnum in China dated back to 1934 when the Chinese mycologist Teng (1934) reported two species from Zhejian…     

Fluorescence Turn-On/Off Responses of In(Ⅲ)-MOF to Short-Chain Perfluorocarboxylic Acids

Short-chain perfluorocarboxylic acids(PFCAs) are a class of persistent organic pollutants that are widely used as substitutes for long-chain PFCAs. However, they also pose a non-negligible risk to ecosystems. In this study, we demonstrated that a fluorescent metal–organic framework(MOF)(named V-101) constructed from In³⁺ and an aromatic-rich tetratopic carboxylate ligand 5-[2,6-bis(4-carboxyphenyl) pyridin-4-yl] isophthalic acid(H₄BCPIA) exhibited highly efficient turn-off ...     

Layer-Contacted Graphene-Like BN/Ultrathin Bi3O4Br Stacking for Boosting Photocatalytic Molecular Oxygen Activation

Novel graphene-like boron nitride(BN)/Bi₃O₄ Br photocatalysts have been controllably synthesized through a facile solvothermal method for the first time. Layer contact stacking between graphene-like BN and ultrathin Bi₃O₄ Br was achieved with strong interaction. Dehalogenation is designed to harvest more visible light, and the ultrathin structure of Bi₃O₄ Br is designed to accelerate charge transfer from inside to the surface. Aft...     

Elucidating the Role of Mass Transfer in Electrochemical Redox Reactions on Electrospun Fibers

Mass transfer can tune the surface concentration of reactants and products and subsequently influence the catalytic performance.The morphology of nanomaterials plays an important role in the mass transfer of reaction microdomains,but related studies are lacking.Herein,a facile electrospinning technique utilizing cellulose was employed to fabricate a series of carbon nanofibers with different diameters,which exhibited excellent electrochemical nitrate reduction reaction and oxygen evolution react...     

Concise Strategies to Enhance the High-Rate Performance of Li3VO4 Anodes: Cl Doping,Carbon Coating,and Spherical Architecture Design

The safe operating voltage and low volume variation of Li₃VO₄(LVO) make it an ideal anode material for lithium(Li)-ion batteries.However,the insufficient understanding of the inner storage mechanism hinders the design of LVO-based electrodes.Herein,we investigate,for the first time,the Li-ion storage activity in LVO via Cl doping.Moreover,N-doped C coating was simultaneously achieved in the Cl doping process,resulting in synergistically improved reaction kinetics.As a resul...     

Wax from Pyrolysis of Waste Plastics as a Potential Source of Phase Change Material for Thermal Energy Storage

Over the past half-century, plastic consumption has grown rapidly due to its versatility, low cost, and unrivaled functional properties. Among the diff erent implemented strategies for recycling waste plastics, pyrolysis is deemed the most economical option. Currently, the wax obtained from the pyrolysis of waste plastics is mainly used as a feedstock to manufacture chemicals and fuels or added to asphalt for pavement construction, with no other applications of wax being reported. Herein, the th...
