Abstract:
... Conductive polyelectrolytes such as P3CT-Na have been widely used as efficient hole-transporting layers (HTLs) in inverted perovskite solar cells (PSCs) due to their high hole mobility. However, the acid–base neutralization reaction is indispensable for preparing such polyelectrolytes and the varied content of cations usually leads to poor reproducibility of the device performance in PSCs. In this ...

Abstract:
... Protein complex formation depends strongly on electrostatic interactions. The distribution of charges on the surface of redox proteins is often optimized by evolution to guide recognition and binding. To test the degree to which the electrostatic interactions between cytochrome c peroxidase (CcP) and cytochrome c (Cc) are optimized, we produced five CcP variants, each with a different charge distr ...

Abstract:
... Specific to strongly acidic wastewater, the traditional lime neutralization produces massive hazardous waste and present serious environmental risks. Thus, the recycling of purified wastewater after the contained contaminants being removed has been proposed. However, among these contaminants, chloride ion (Cl(-I)) is rather difficult to remove. This study proposes a new method to remove Cl(-I) usi ...

Abstract:
... Enterovirus A-71 (EV71) is a global, highly contagkkious pathogen responsible for severe cases of hand-food-mouth-disease (HFMD). The use of vaccines eliciting cross neutralizing antibodies (NTAbs) against the different circulating EV71 sub-genotypes is important for preventing HFMD outbreaks. Here, we tested the cross-neutralizing activities induced by EV71 genotype/sub-genotype A, B0-B4, C1, C2, ...
