    Abstract Histidine (His) is widely involved in the structure and function of biomolecules. Transition-metal ions, such as Zn 2+ and Cu 2+ , widely exist in biological environments, and they are crucial to many life-sustaining physiological processes. Herein, by employing density function calculations, we theoretically show that the water affinity of His can be enhanced by the strong cation–π interaction between His and Zn 2+ and Cu 2+ . Further, the solubility of His is experimentally demonstrated to be greatly enhanced in ZnCl 2 and CuCl 2 solutions. The existence of cation–π interaction is demonstrated by fluorescence, ultraviolet (UV) spectroscopy and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) experiments. These findings are of great importance for the bioavailability of aromatic drugs and provide new insight for understanding the physiological functions of transition metal ions.

    Abstract Using density functional theory (DFT) calculations, we researched the different anions adsorption on the graphene and found that anions can be stably adsorbed on the graphene surface due to the anion-π interaction. The adsorption energy decreased as the order of HPO₄²– > SO₄²– > F– > CH₃COO– > ClO₃– > NO₃– > ClO₄– > SCN– > Cl– > Br–. The adsorption energy markedly increased as the valence of anion increased from negative monovalence (< -20 kcal/mol) to negative bivalence (> -40 kcal/mol). The energy decomposition analysis (EDA) showed that anion-π interaction is mainly induced by orbital effect. This work provides new insights for understanding Hofmeister effect at graphene interface from the molecular level and indicates that the anion-π interaction cannot be ignored at the interface, especially for the substrate with π-electron-rich carbon–based nanomaterials.

    Abstract Abstract Electrocatalysis is critical to the performance displayed by sulfur cathodes. However, the constituent electrocatalysts and the sulfur reactants have vastly different molecular sizes, which ultimately restrict electrocatalysis efficiency and hamper device performance. Herein, the authors report that aggregates of cobalt single‐atom catalysts (SACs) attached to graphene via porphyrins can overcome the challenges associated with the catalyst/reactant size mismatch. Atomic‐resolution transmission electron microscopy and X‐ray absorption spectroscopy measurements show that the Co atoms present in the SAC aggregates exist as single atoms with spatially resolved dimensions that are commensurate the sulfur species found in sulfur cathodes and thus fully accessible to enable 100% atomic utilization efficiency in electrocatalysis. Density functional theory calculations demonstrate that the Co SAC aggregates can interact with the sulfur species in a synergistic manner that enhances the electrocatalytic effect and promote the performance of sulfur cathodes. For example, Li–S cells prepared from the Co SAC aggregates exhibit outstanding capacity retention (i.e., 505 mA h g–1 at 0.5 C after 600 cycles) and excellent rate capability (i.e., 648 mA h g−1 at 6 C). An ultrahigh area specific capacity of 12.52 mA h cm−2 is achieved at a high sulfur loading of 11.8 mg cm–2.

    Abstract The interface friction on solid surfaces is generally regarded as consistent with the wetting behaviour. Here the authors use molecular dynamics simulations and experiments to show that a small surface charge difference causes a change in the solid/water friction coefficient of over an order of magnitude, while the contact angles stay similar.

  6. Article: Sharing of Na+ by Three −COO– Groups at Deprotonated Carboxyl-Terminated Self-Assembled Monolayer-Charged Aqueous Interface

    Abstract By combining theoretical calculations and experimental observations, we show that Na+ can be shared by three charged −COO– groups of the deprotonated carboxyl-terminated self-assembled monolayers in aqueous solution at lipid–aqueous interface. This is similar to the sharing structure of Na+ usually found in crystals. Notably, this ionic configuration leads to a hydroxyl orientation distribution of interfacial water molecules, showing a maximum toward the bulk solution, in addition to the maximum toward the charged surface expected based on the structure of one-to-one ion-pair formation between Na+ and −COO–. Our results provide new insights for a better understanding of electrochemically and biologically related charged interfaces at the molecular level and should be helpful to design the nanodevices and bioinspired human-made nanomaterials.

    Abstract As a kind of zero-tolerance foodborne pathogens, Salmonella typhimurium poses a great threat to quality of food products and public health. Hence, rapid and efficient approaches to identify Salmonella typhimurium are urgently needed. Combined with PCR and fluorescence technique, real-time PCR (qPCR) and digital PCR (ddPCR) are regarded as suitable tools for detecting foodborne pathogens. To compare the effect between qPCR and ddPCR in detecting Salmonella typhimurium, a series of nucleic acid, pure strain culture and spiking milk samples were applied and the resistance to inhibitors referred in this article as well. Compared with qPCR, ddPCR exhibited more sensitive (10−4ng/μl or 102cfu/ml) and less pre-culturing time (saving 2h). Moreover, ddPCR had stronger resistance to inhibitors than qPCR, yet absolute quantification hardly performed when target's concentration over 1ng/μl or 106cfu/ml. This study provides an alternative strategy in detecting foodborne Salmonella typhimurium.
