Directional interfacial charge transfer doping was used to significantly boost the water oxidation performance of pure carbon nanotubes.

Herein, a general strategy is proposed to boost the energy storage capability of pseudocapacitive materials (i.e., MnO2) to their theoretical limits in unconventional 1D fiber configuration by rationally designing bicontinuous porous Ni skeleton@metal wire “sheath–core” metallic scaffold as a versatile host. As a proof of concept, the 1D metallic scaffold supported‐MnO2 fiber electrode is demonstrated. The proposed “sheath” design not only affords large electrode surface area with ordered macropores for large electrolyte‐ion accessibility and high electroactive material loading, but also renders interconnected porous metallic skeleton for efficient electronic and ionic transport, while the metallic “core” functions as an extra current collector to promote long‐distance electron transport and electron collection. Benefiting from all these merits, the optimized fiber electrode yields unprecedented specific areal capacitance of 1303.6 mF cm−2 (1278 F g−1 based on MnO2, approaching the theoretical value of 1370 F g−1) in liquid KOH and 847.22 mF cm−2 in polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)/KOH gel electrolyte, 2–350 times of previously reported fiber electrodes. The solid‐state fiber micro‐pseudocapacitors simultaneously achieve remarkable areal energy and power densities of 18.83 µWh cm−2 and 16.33 mW cm−2, greatly exceeding the existing symmetric fiber supercapacitors, together with long cycle life and high rate capability.

Naringin (NG), as the most abundant component of Drynariae Rhizoma (Chinese name: Gusuibu), has been proved to be an antioxidant flavonoid on promoting osteoporotic fracture (OF) healing, but relevant research is scanty on the underlying mechanisms. We adopted target prediction, protein-protein interaction (PPI) analysis, Gene Ontology (GO) analysis, Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analysis, and molecular docking to establish a system pharmacology database of NG against OF. Totally 105 targets of naringin were obtained, including 26 common targets with OF. A total of 415 entries were obtained through GO Biological Process enrichment analysis ( P < 0.05 ), and 37 entries were obtained through KEGG pathway enrichment analysis with seven signaling pathways included ( P < 0.05 ), which were primarily concerned with p53, IL-17, TNF, estrogen, and PPAR signaling pathways. According to the results of molecular docking, naringin is all bound in the active pockets of the core targets with 3–9 hydrogen bonds through some connections such as hydrophobic interactions, Pi-Pi stacked interactions, and salt bridge, demonstrating that naringin binds tightly to the core targets. In general, naringin may treat OF through multiple targets and multiple pathways via regulating oxidative stress, etc. Notably, it is first reported that NG may regulate osteoclast differentiation and oxidative stress through the expression of the core targets so as to treat OF.
