However, the disproportionation of aldehyde groups under strong alkaline conditions and the polymerization of HMF to form humic substances can impact the purity of 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) products. The use of neutral electrolytes offers an alternative environment for electrolysis, but the lack of OH<sup>-</sup> ions in the electrolyte often leads to low current density and low yields of FDCA. In this study, a sandwich-structured catalyst, consisting of Ru clusters confined between unilamellar MnO<sub>2</sub> nanosheets (S-Ru/MnO<sub>2</sub>), was used in conjunction with an electrochemical pulse method to realize the electrochemical conversion of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural into FDCA in neutral electrolytes. Pulse electrolysis and the strong electron transfer between Ru clusters and MnO<sub>2</sub> nanosheets help maintain Ru in a low oxidation state, ensuring high activity. The increased *OH generation led to a groundbreaking current density of 47 mA/cm<sup>2</sup> at 1.55 V vs. reversible hydrogen electrode (RHE) and an outstanding yield rate of 98.7% for FDCA in a neutral electrolyte.

Spray cooling, which combines forced convection with phase-change latent heat of working fluids, is promising for high flux heat dissipation. Most of the previous studies on spray cooling enhancement adopted high spray flow rates to strengthen forced convection for high critical heat flux (CHF), leading to a low heat transfer coefficient (HTC). Micro/nanostructured surfaces can enhance boiling, but bubbles inside the structures tend to form a vapor blanket, which can deteriorate heat transfer. This work demonstrates simultaneous enhancement of CHF and HTC in spray cooling by improving both evaporation and liquid film boiling on three-dimensional (3D) ordered hierarchical micro/nano-structured surface. The hierarchical micro/nano-structured surface is designed to coordinate the transport of spray droplets, capillary liquid films, and boiling bubbles to enhance spray cooling performance. Boiling inversion where superheat decreases with increasing heat flux is observed, leading to an ultra-high HTC due to the simultaneous promotion of bubble nucleation and evaporation. Unprecedented CHF is obtained by overcoming the liquid-vapor counterflow, i.e., synergistically facilitating bubble escape and liquid permeation. A record-breaking heat transfer performance of spray cooling is achieved with a maximum heat flux of 1273 W/cm<sup>2</sup> and an HTC of 443.7 kW/(m<sup>2</sup> K) over a 1 cm<sup>2</sup> heating area.</p>","PeriodicalId":421,"journal":{"name":"Science Bulletin","volume":" ","pages":"223-231"},"PeriodicalIF":18.8,"publicationDate":"2025-01-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142589695","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Over the past few decades, variations in summer precipitation in West Siberia have significantly influenced wildfire activity. This study analyzed precipitation trends in West Siberia from 1982 to 2021 using observations and transient simulations, uncovering a strong correlation between precipitation variability and ozone concentrations in the upper troposphere-lower stratosphere (UTLS). Heightened UTLS ozone levels warm the upper atmosphere over West Siberia during summer. This warming modifies the regional polar jet stream, intensifying its southern branch and weakening the northern one, leading to a southward shift in the jet stream. Consequently, cyclonic circulation anomalies emerge in the upper troposphere, characterized by a barotropic structure with unusual upward movements around 60°N. This upward motion triggers corresponding anomalies in zonal winds in the lower troposphere, fostering a low-pressure system at the surface. This atmospheric shift results in an influx of warm, moist air from the south and cold, dry air from the north into Siberia, enhancing cloud formation and precipitation. Notably, our analysis suggests that the rise in summer precipitation in West Siberia between 1993 and 2010 is linked to increased UTLS ozone concentrations during this period. Conversely, the decline in UTLS ozone since 2010 may increase the risk of wildfires by suppressing precipitation. Our findings underscore the pivotal role of stratospheric chemistry in shaping the regional climate and wildfire behavior.</p>","PeriodicalId":421,"journal":{"name":"Science Bulletin","volume":" ","pages":"255-262"},"PeriodicalIF":18.8,"publicationDate":"2025-01-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142695047","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
