Our results reveal that the use of Ti<sub>3</sub>C<sub>2</sub>T<em><sub>x</sub></em> induces strong support effect, which causes the hierarchical nanosheet arrays growth of CuInS<sub>2</sub> and simultaneously leads to charge transfer from CuInS<sub>2</sub> to Ti<sub>3</sub>C<sub>2</sub>T<em><sub>x</sub></em> support, resulting in V<sub>S</sub> formed in CuInS<sub>2</sub>. The strong support effect based on Ti<sub>3</sub>C<sub>2</sub>T<em><sub>x</sub></em> is proven to be applicable to prepare a series of different metal indium sulfide arrays with V<sub>S</sub>. CuInS<sub>2</sub> nanosheet arrays with V<sub>S</sub> supported on Ti<sub>3</sub>C<sub>2</sub>T<em><sub>x</sub></em> benefit the photocatalytic selective reduction of CO<sub>2</sub> to CO, manifesting a remarkable over 14.8-fold activity enhancement compared with pure CuInS<sub>2</sub>. The experimental and computational investigations pinpoint that V<sub>S</sub> of CuInS<sub>2</sub> resulting from the support effect of Ti<sub>3</sub>C<sub>2</sub>T<em><sub>x</sub></em> lowers the barrier of the rate-limiting step of *COOH → *OH + *CO, which is the key to the photoactivity enhancement. This work demonstrates MXene support effects and offers an effective approach to regulate the atomic microstructure of metal sulfides toward enhancing photocatalytic performance.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":421,"journal":{"name":"Science Bulletin","volume":"69 20","pages":"Pages 3247-3259"},"PeriodicalIF":18.8,"publicationDate":"2024-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141842208","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}

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":""},"PeriodicalIF":18.8,"publicationDate":"2024-10-24","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}

It is usually accompanied by motor and non-motor symptoms that seriously threaten the health and the quality of life. Novel medications are urgently needed because current pharmaceuticals can relieve symptoms but cannot stop disease progression. The microbiota-gut-brain axis (MGBA) is closely associated with the occurrence and development of PD and is an effective therapeutic target. Tetrahedral framework nucleic acids (tFNAs) can modulate the microbiome and immune regulation. However, such nucleic acid nanostructures are very sensitive to acids which hinder this promising approach. Therefore, we prepared exosome-like nanovesicles (Exo@tac) from ginger that are acid resistant and equipped with tFNAs modified by antimicrobial peptides (AMP). We verified that Exo@tac regulates intestinal bacteria associated with the microbial-gut-brain axis in vitro and significantly improves PD symptoms in vivo when administered orally. Microbiota profiling confirmed that Exo@tac normalizes the intestinal flora composition of mouse models of PD.
