This study presents a cradle-to-grave lifecycle analysis of energy use and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions for U.S. medium- and heavy-duty vehicles across current (2021) and future (2035) technologies using the Greenhouse gas, Regulated Emissions, and Energy use in Technologies (GREET) model with industry-vetted assumptions. Results vary across vehicle classes but point to common trends: today, battery electric vehicles (BEVs) offer significant (10–60%) GHG emissions reduction compared to diesel internal combustion engine vehicles and are the lowest emissions option per ton-mile of cargo movement, followed by hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) (5–50% emissions reduction). Emissions savings depend largely on the duty cycle and fuel economy of the vehicle type. Future vehicle technology advancements result in comparable emission reductions associated with BEVs and hydrogen FCEVs. Weight-limited BEV trucks see less per-ton-mile emissions reduction due to the impact of battery weight on increased vehicle weight and reduced payload capacity. By 2035, improvements in vehicle efficiency can reduce emissions across all powertrains. However, very low levels of emissions require switching vehicles’ use-phase fuel/energy to low-carbon fuels and electricity. Renewable diesel, e-fuels, hydrogen produced from natural gas with carbon capture and storage or renewables, and use of low-carbon electricity can all achieve over 70% reduction in GHG emissions from the current day diesel-based internal combustion engine vehicle.

Neonicotinoid insecticides (NEOs) are globally prevalent environmental contaminants. However, their biological half-lives in humans remain poorly characterized. This study employed a controlled mouse pharmacokinetic experiment with human biomonitoring data to elucidate key parameters for selected NEOs. Human biomonitoring provided renal clearance (CLrenal), while controlled mice experiment provided the volume of distribution (Vd); these were combined to estimate the biological half-life. Analysis of 172 paired human urine and blood samples revealed that CLrenal varied substantially among parent NEOs (median: 9.04 to 158 mL/day/kg) and exhibited a distinct structure-dependency. The CLrenal of fused, bicyclic NEOs (i.e., imidacloprid (IMI), thiacloprid (THD), and thiamethoxam (THM)) was governed by water solubility, while that of their nonfused, monocyclic systems (i.e., acetamiprid (ACE), clothianidin (CLO), and dinotefuran (DIN)) was determined by lipophilicity. A one-compartment log–linear regression analysis of intravenous mice data provided robust estimates of Vd, which ranged from 306 to 700 mL/kg body weight for ACE, IMI, and DIN. By combining Vd with human CLrenal, the extrapolated median biological half-life for ACE, IMI, and DIN were 15.5, 24.8, and 53.7 days, respectively, indicating significant potential for bioaccumulation in humans. Uncertainty analysis and sensitivity analyses confirmed the robustness of these prolonged estimates, yielding 95% confidence intervals of 5.53 (ACE) to 157 (DIN) days, with even the most conservative scenario giving a range of 5.17 (ACE) to 17.9 (DIN) days. The prolonged half-life of NEOs indicates a significant potential for bioaccumulation in humans upon continuous exposure, which warrants further investigation regarding its implications for human health risk assessment.

In perovskite laser development, it is important to focus on two different regimes of electrical losses: low-power excitation (carrier density lower than 1018 cm–3), when nonradiative processes via trap states can dominate, and high-power excitation (carrier density is 1018–1021 cm–3), when Auger recombination prevails. Therefore, passivating the defects that affect radiative recombination is crucial for lowering the lasing threshold and achieving a high optical gain before the Auger onset. Here, we report a combined laser-induced photothermochemical method for the passivation of surface defects by potassium doping in perovskite. This approach yields improved morphology, an optical gain of up to 2600 cm–1, and operational stability under ambient conditions of 35 million laser shots, with only 15% degradation at excitation densities three times above the threshold. The remarkable performance of this laser-induced process will facilitate the development of modern optical applications, including lasing, morphology-controlled photoluminescence yield, and optical information encryption.

Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), with their distinctive porous structures and tunable chemical properties, have shown immense promise in the separation and storage of gases. Currently, the accurate simulation of their adsorptive properties remains challenging, especially for systems where the molecules fit very tightly into the pores. Traditional simulation methods often approximate the frameworks as rigid and do not account for the framework flexibility seen in materials such as NbOFFIVE-1-Ni. First-principles molecular dynamics (FPMD) simulations offer the desired accuracy in modeling this flexibility but are limited by their extensive computational demands, rendering them impractical for long simulations. Conversely, classical force field-based simulations offer computational efficiency but lack the necessary accuracy. To break this accuracy-efficiency trade-off, we have developed machine learning interatomic potentials trained on energies and forces from FPMD to model the framework flexibility of NbOFFIVE-1-Ni in the presence of water over nanosecond time scales. Furthermore, by integrating MLIP-driven molecular dynamics (MLIP-MD) with grand canonical Monte Carlo (GCMC) simulations, we further incorporated framework flexibility into adsorption predictions, yielding water adsorption isotherms that better align with experimental data compared to those of conventional GCMC simulations. These advances offer new opportunities for the design and optimization of MOFs in gas storage and separation applications.

Hydrogen is expected to play a key role in the sustainable decarbonization of energy systems. While hydrogen may provide global public good for reducing carbon emissions, it is important to quantify its potential impact on local communities for ensuring equitable and socially accepted energy transitions. This study quantifies the effects of hydrogen infrastructure on nearby communities by using a high-resolution panel of residential property transactions in California from 2012 to 2021. The analysis incorporates three types of hydrogen infrastructure: hydrogen refueling stations (HRSs), hydrogen production facilities (HPFs), and hydrogen corridor pipelines (HCPs). Our findings show that residential properties within a 2.2 km radius of an HRS experience an average devaluation of 2.74%–3.45% (or US$19,413–$24,444). Following a major hydrogen explosion, this depreciation intensifies to 4.41%–5.28%. HPFs also exert significant negative externalities, with property values declining by 4.52%–5.64% within a 4 km radius. Heterogeneity analyses reveal that minority communities, particularly those with low shares of White residents and high proportions of Black and Hispanic populations, experienced disproportionately greater devaluation. Our empirical evidence of the local impact can help policymakers better systematically promote the larger scale of hydrogen energy deployment while minimizing the potential negative impacts on local communities.

Utilizing an LC/MS-MS-based feature-based molecular networking (FBMN) strategy, six undescribed PPAPs (1–6) characterized by an acetyl substituent at the C-1 position of their phloroglucinol scaffold, were efficiently isolated from the roots of Harrisonia perforata. Notably, compund 1 displays an unconventional 5/5/6/5 ring architecture, while compounds 5 and 6 represent the first case incorporating a benzofuran core and a geranyl-derived cyclohexanol unit. Their structures were unequivocally elucidated through comprehensive spectroscopic data analysis, TDDFT-ECD calculations, and X-ray crystallographic studies. Interestingly, compound 3 at 20 μM exhibited negligible cytotoxicity but significantly potentiated the activity of paclitaxel against HCT-15 cells by 42.8-fold. Mechanistic studies further demonstrated that compound 3 did not significantly alter the expression levels of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters, but potently inhibited the transport function of both ABCB1 and ABCG2. Molecular docking reveals that compound 3 stably binds to the central substrate-binding cavities of ABCB1 and ABCG2, with its binding primarily stabilized by hydrogen bonds and hydrophobic interactions.

Graphene has emerged as a promising candidate for adsorption and separation applications due to its exceptional properties. In this study, the diffusion properties and local structure of the CO2-NO flue gas, CH4, and H2O mixtures in the free state and those confined within graphene layers were investigated via molecular dynamics simulation. Additionally, density functional theory calculation was performed to determine the adsorption energies of these four components at different adsorption sites on graphene. The results showed that the graphene structure significantly altered the diffusion coefficients of the four substances, with the order becoming CH4 > NO > CO2 ≫ H2O. By contrast, in the absence of graphene at low temperatures, the diffusion coefficient order was H2O > CO2 > NO > CH4. Simultaneously, the temperature and pressure exerted pronounced regulatory effects on CH4, CO2, and NO. Analysis of the relative diffusion coefficients of CH4 and NO revealed that the optimal conditions for the adsorption and separation of this mixture with bilayer graphene structures were 1-10 MPa and 275 K.

A dual route involving oxidants under heterogeneous conditions (PbO2) or basic biphasic conditions, i.e., K3[Fe(CN)6]/KOH to C–N bond-forming pyrrole-fused PDIs is developed. These routes avoid the stringent conditions required for coupling reactions or other multistep processes used to date, to realize these functional PDIs. Importantly, both routes proceed at room temperature with short reaction times. In addition, the Br atom is tolerated during cyclization. These multistate redox-active pyrrole-fused PDIs generate blue-colored radical anions and red dianions chemically/electrochemically.

These multistate redox-active pyrrole-fused PDIs generate blue-colored radical anions and red dianions chemically/electrochemically.","PeriodicalId":57,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Organic Chemistry","volume":"3 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.354,"publicationDate":"2026-02-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146146336","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Interfacial defects in triple-cation perovskite films limit device efficiency and stability, and passivation strategies often face a critical trade-off between defect coverage and charge transport. We propose a uniform interfacial passivation approach using 2-(1-cyclohexenyl)ethylammonium iodide (CHEAI) with a mixed solvent system of chlorobenzene (CB) and isopropanol (IPA). Based on CHEAI passivation, the CB/IPA mixed solvent system manipulates solvent polarity gradients to induce molecular self-assembly, constructing a uniform two-dimensional(2D) perovskite interfacial layer that enables effective defect passivation and rapid charge transport, thereby addressing this trade-off. This strategy achieves a power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 25.72% and a fill factor (FF) of 86.27%, the highest reported values for conventional two-step method-based triple-cation perovskite solar cells (PSCs). Moreover, it demonstrates effectiveness in systems with different passivating agents. This study provides a straightforward and effective approach to improving the efficiency and stability of PSCs.
