Mimicking the structure and the composition of native tubular tissues to elaborate functional grafts is expected to outperform the materials currently in use, but remains one of the most challenging goals in the field of biomaterials. Despite their apparent diversity, tubular tissues share extensive compositional and structural features.

Based on this model, we examine the current strategies developed to mimic each layer and we underline how each fabrication method stands in providing a biomimetic material for future clinical translation.

The extended voltage range of non-aqueous media, exceeding 2 V, facilitates the establishment of high-energy storage systems. Additionally, considering the higher cost of non-aqueous solvents compared to water, the objective in developing non-aqueous electrolyte solution-based organic RFBs (NRFBs) is to efficiently install these systems in a compact manner and explore unique applications distinct from those associated with aqueous RFBs, which are typically deployed for grid-scale energy storage systems. This review presents recent research progress in ROMs, electrolytes, and membranes in NRFBs. Furthermore, we address the prevailing challenges that require revolution, encompassing a narrow cell voltage range, insufficient solubility, chemical instability, and the crossover of ROMs. Through this exploration, the review contributes to the understanding of the current landscape and potential advancements in NRFB technology and encourages researchers and professionals in the energy field to explore this emerging technology as a potential solution to global environmental challenges.</p>","PeriodicalId":68,"journal":{"name":"Chemical Society Reviews","volume":" 2","pages":" 742-789"},"PeriodicalIF":40.4,"publicationDate":"2024-11-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142719070","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This has led to a need for effective cyclization strategies for compound synthesis and hence increased interest in macrocyclization mediated by thioesterase (TE) domains, which naturally boost the chemical diversity and bioactivities of cyclic natural products. Many non-ribosomal peptide synthetase (NRPS) and polyketide synthase (PKS) derived natural products are assembled to form cyclodimeric compounds, with these molecules possessing diverse structures and biological activities. There is significant interest in identifying the biosynthetic pathways that produce such molecules given the challenge that cyclodimerization represents from a biosynthetic perspective. In the last decade, many groups have pursued the characterization of TE domains and have provided new insights into this biocatalytic machinery: however, the enzymes involved in formation of cyclodimeric compounds have proven far more elusive. In this review we focus on natural products that involve macrocyclization in their biosynthesis and chemical synthesis, with an emphasis on the function and biosynthetic investigation on the special family of TE domains responsible for forming cyclodimeric natural products. We also introduce additional macrocyclization catalysts, including butelase and the C<small><sub>T</sub></small>-mediated cyclization of peptides, alongside the formation of cyclodipeptides mediated by cyclodipeptide synthases (CDPS) and single-module NRPSs.

Saline water has been proposed as a potential medium for RCC due to it's relative abundance and low cost. Additionally, the composition and chemistry of many saline water sources: (1) elevates the CO<small><sub>2</sub></small> content (as compared to atmospheric concentrations), (2) provides various cations that can form valuable products with CO<small><sub>2</sub></small>, and (3) enhances the kinetics of chemical reactions used to convert CO<small><sub>2</sub></small> to stable byproducts.

Notwithstanding the early stage of development of many saline-based RCC technologies, the major limitation to implementation of this approach to carbon capture is the mismatch in the scale of the markets for products of saline-based RCC and the scale of carbon capture needed to meet climate goals. However, because the products of many of the processes reviewed here are stable and non-hazardous, these technologies may also be used for carbon sequestration efforts where the products are managed as waste, in which case the carbon capture potential of these technologies can surpass the market-imposed limitations on RCC.
