High-throughput production of highly efficient photocatalysts for hydrogen evolution remains a considerable challenge for materials scientists. Here, we produced extremely uniform high-quality graphene and molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) nanoplatelets through the electrochemical-assisted liquid-phase exfoliation, out of which we subsequently fabricated MoS2/graphene van der Waals heterostructures. Ultimately, zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles were deposited into these two-dimensional heterostructures to produce an artificial ZnO/MoS2/graphene nanocomposite. This new composite experimentally exhibited an excellent photocatalytic efficiency in hydrogen evolution under the sunlight illumination ( λ > 400   n m ), owing to the extremely high electron mobilities in graphene nanoplatelets and the significant visible-light absorptions of MoS2. Moreover, due to the synergistic effects in MoS2 and graphene, the lifetime of excited carriers increased dramatically, which considerably improved the photocatalytic efficiency of the ZnO/MoS2/graphene heterostructure. We conclude that the novel artificial heterostructure presented here shows great potential for the high-efficient photocatalytic hydrogen generation and the high throughput production of visible-light photocatalysts for industrial applications.

Two metal-free porphyrins H[Formula: see text]Pp (a, b) and four metalloporphyrins CuPp (a, b) and ZnPp (a, b) have been applied to lithium/thionyl chloride (Li/SOCl[Formula: see text] battery as the high efficient catalysts for the first time. Notably, the battery discharge time in blank is only 1080 s while that of Li/SOCl2 battery after adding porphyrin/metalloporphyrins is 1980 s for H[Formula: see text]Pp (a), 2160 s for H[Formula: see text]Pp (b), 1560 s for CuPp (a), 1320 s for CuPp (b), 1620 s for ZnPp (a), and 1680 s for ZnPp (b), respectively. Furthermore, the energy of the battery whose electrolyte contains the H[Formula: see text]Pp (a, b), CuPp (a, b) and ZnPp (a, b) increases by approximately 11.88–77.14% than that of the battery without them. And the metal-free porphyrins H[Formula: see text]Pp (a) or H[Formula: see text]Pp (b) exhibit higher catalytic activities than that of metalloporphyrins CuPp (a, b) and ZnPp (a, b). In addition, the possible reasons to explain the excellent results were also analyzed.

Introduction: Therapeutic delivery of CRISPR system components to induce in vivo genome editing in postnatal life has great translational potential. Recent studies employing non-viral delivery of small guide RNA (gRNA) and Cas9 mRNA have achieved efficient in vivo genome editing in adult mice. However, as often seen in other RNA therapeutic studies with non-viral delivery of antisense and siRNA, the efficiency is limited to the liver. Hypothesis: Novel nanoparticle can deliver CRISPR system components in vivo to selectively target cardiovascular endothelium in adult mice. Methods: We developed a novel nanoparticles. Mixture of the nanoparticle:plasmid DNA expressing Cas9 under the control of the human CDH5 promoter and gRNA driven by the U6 promoter was administered i.v. to adult mice. Seven to ten days later, various organ tissues were collected for analysis of the efficiency of genomic editing and knockout of protein expression. The phenotype of CRISPR-mediated in vivo knockout of Pik3cg which encodes the G protein-coupled receptor-activated p110gamma isoform of PI3K was compared to Pik3cg null mice in response to sepsis challenge. Results: Therapeutic delivery of nanoparticles loaded with the all-in-one CRISPR plasmid DNA induced highly efficient genome editing in endothelial cells (ECs) of the cardiovascular system including lung, heart, aorta, and peripheral blood vessels in adult mice. The Indel rate was as great as 50% in ECs isolated from these vascular beds. Immunostaining and Western blotting demonstrated greater than 70% decrease of protein expression in cardiovascular endothelial cells. Pik3cg -gRNA-induced genome editing diminished p110γPI3K expression in pulmonary vascular ECs, which led to impaired vascular repair and resolution of inflammation after sepsis challenge as seen in Pik3cg -/- mice. Conclusion: We have developed a simple and highly efficient method for in vivo genome editing selectively in the cardiovascular endothelium. This strategy will greatly facilitate cardiovascular research and may enable therapeutic genome editing for prevention and treatment of cardiovascular diseases.
