Effect of Fe redox state caused by low soil pe+pH levels on Cd uptake by rice is unclear. Rice grown in pots of Cdcontaminated paddy soil were subjected to different irrigation regimes: flooding, intermittent flooding (Int-FL), and sustained soil moisture at 70% water holding capacity (WHC). Results showed low pe+pH (5.52 and 7.09) in flooding treatment significantly increased relative abundances of Fe-reducing bacteria (FeRB) (6.29% and 4.51%), especially members within the Clostridium, Geobacter and Desulfuromonadia genera. Stimulation of FeRB activity induced Fe(III) reduction and increased Fe2+ content in flooded soils, which promoted Cd sequestration in low-crystalline fraction of IP (IP-Feh-Cd) and Cd bonded to amorphous Fe-oxides (amFeox-Cd). The 24.9-62.4% higher amFeox-Cd content was the important factor for 20.4-44.2% lower CaCl2-extractable Cd content in flooding treatment than those in other treatments. Soil submergence reduced Cd uptake by rice at tillering and booting stages, the critical periods of Cd transport in the soil-rice system, which was attributed to the increases in dissolved Fe2+ and IP-Feh-Cd contents and decrease in CaCl2-Cd content. Therefore, maintaining flooding during the tillering and booting stages may be an effective strategy to reduce Cd uptake by rice cultivated in Cd-contaminated soil.

Salt stress can cause significant changes to soil microbial community structure, metabolic processes, and the surrounding micro-environments. However, how these processes affect the availability of cadmium (Cd) remains poorly understood. Changes in soil microbial communities within different soil micro-environments (large-, macro-, small-aggregate and silt plus clay fractions) and their metabolic responses to saline stress in Cd contaminated soils were analyzed. Salt addition negatively affected the stability of soil aggregates and promoted Cd translocation from large soil aggregates into smaller clay/silt sized fractions. Comparatively, soil bacteria were more sensitive than fungi in their responses to salt addition, as more prominent variations in bacterial community structure were observed between AS (added salt) and CK (no added salt) treatments, determined via non metric multidimensional scaling analysis. Both bacteria and fungi showed greater diversity and richness in microaggregate fractions than in large aggregates, and salt addition decreased overall alpha diversity and altered microbial community composition. Among the node taxa, Sphingomonadaceae, Pyrinomonadaceae, Nitriliruptoraceae, Bacillaceae, Halomonadaceae and Pseudomonadaceae likely played critical roles in mediating Cd availability in soil micro-environments under saline stress. Furthermore, exposure to salt stress resulted in soil microbe metabolic reprogramming. The accumulation of tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle components and membrane lipid metabolites potentially contributed to observed increases in soil Cd availability and microbial Cd resistance.

The commercialization of vanadium dioxide (VO2) as energy-saving products currently suffers from nonadjustable visible transmittance, resulting in inferior solar regulation efficiency (Delta T-sol<15%), low luminous transmittance (T-lum<60%), and monotonous "brown-yellowish" appearance. Here, a concept of exploiting all solar spectra for modifying its inherent color as well as synchronously enhancing Delta T-sol has been accomplished on an ultraviolet (UV)-responsive photochromism/VO2 composite film. This structure by itself exhibits low T-lum even in a mild UV environment. We further introduce a fluorescence layer on top of photochromic layer to form a three-layer fluorescence/photochromism/VO2 structure (FPV), which could realize the conversion from UV to visible lights there to block most of the UV light and enhance the T-lum. Such FPV films that are optically manipulated display highly transparent before coloration and, further, can dynamically change to other colors according to different intensities of UV light. Moreover, the FPV films result in an increased solar energy regulation ability up to 20.1%, while maintaining 72.6% visible luminous transmittance. These results break shackles of inherent color and exceed the theoretical limit for traditional thermochromic VO2-smart windows, making them easily acceptable for users.

Periodic flooding in paddy soils impacts redox behavior and induces variations in pe+pH levels. Manganese (Mn) is capable of reducing cadmium (Cd) uptake by rice. However, the processes involved in how Mn alters Cd mobilization under different pe+pH environments remain poorly understood. To investigate the mechanisms of Mn-mediated soil Cd-stabilization and subsequent inhibition of Cd uptake from flooded soils, we examined Cd immobilization in soil pot incubations, transcriptional changes in Cd-transport genes, and metabolomic analyses of roots and rhizosphere soils with or without Mn application. We found a decrease in extractable Cd concentration largely depended on irrigation-associated low pe+pH, exogenous Mn enhancement of Fe-Mn (oxyhydro) oxide-mediated Cd transformation, and Cd deposition in rice Fe/Mn plaques. Mn application led to striking effects on the expression of Cd-related genes eg. IRT, HMA, and NRAMP in rice root tissue. Exposure to Mn under variable pe+pH levels resulted in metabolic reprogramming of soil and rice roots. Mn induced amino acid synthesis in rice roots, leading to rhizosphere accumulation of free L-lysine, glycine, and glutamine, which can reportedly bind metal ions, forming complexes with Cd. Thus, secreted amino acids, low pe+pH, and free Mn can together comprise a multi-faceted approach to managing Cd toxicity in rice.

This paper presents a detailed study of the influence of yttrium (Y) concentration on thermally stimulated luminescence (TSL) of LYSO:Ce crystals and establishes the relationship between electron traps and scintillation properties. With the increase of Y concentration, the glow curve shifts toward higher temperatures and the trap depth increases gradually. Our results revealed two groups of electron traps with one shallow (E-t approximate to 0.10-0.26 eV) and one deep (E-t approximate to 1.00-1.21 eV). Our TSL results suggest that the amount of shallow traps varied with Y content has a positive correlation with energy resolution, while the amount of deep traps is inversely proportional to light output. In order to analyze the variation trend of trap depths and their mechanism in detail, we calculated the band gap with the PBE functional and VUV excitation spectra. The results show that the increase of band gap possibly leads to the increase of deep electron trap depth.

During high-rate discharge, power batteries generate a considerable amount of heat. If this thermal energy is not dissipated effectively, the resulting rapid temperature rise can significantly impact the operational lifespan of the battery. Consequently, building a thermal control system that can keep the battery temperature status in an acceptable range and increase the homogeneity is vital. To this purpose, this study proposes an ADRC method that combines a BP neural network and an INFO algorithm to regulate the temperature environment suitable for the battery cluster's operation. The findings confirm the capability of the optimization algorithm to effectively reduce the battery's temperature fluctuation under different operating conditions. After optimization, the total temperature variation decreases by over 24%. In addition, INFO-ADRC technology meets the current requirements of the electric vehicle industry by keeping peak temperature deviations within 1 degrees C within the battery clusters.
