A method for reducing oxygen vacancies in ZnGa2O4 films by high-temperature and oxygen thermodynamic conditions is proposed to increase the response speed of ZnGa2O4/Si heterojunction deep-ultraviolet photodetectors. The fabricated photodetector exhibits excellent performance with a fast response speed and a high photo-to-dark current ratio, showing the potential of the high-temperature and oxygen-rich annealing method for achieving deep-ultraviolet photodetectors with superior performance.
Deep-ultraviolet photodetectors with fast response speed are urgently required in flame detection and atmospheric monitoring. A method for reducing oxygen vacancies in ZnGa2O4 films by high-temperature and oxygen thermodynamic conditions is proposed, to increase the response speed of ZnGa2O4/Si heterojunction deep-ultraviolet photodetectors. Here, a ZnGa2O4/Si heterojunction deep-ultraviolet photodetector with excellent performance is fabricated, exhibiting a decay time of similar to 67 ms, a dark current of 0.027 nA and a photo-to-dark current ratio of similar to 490. These results indicate that the high-temperature and oxygen-rich annealing method proposed here can provide a reference for the fabrication of ZnGa2O4 deep-ultraviolet photodetectors with excellent performance.

Soil respiration may be reduced by wind via the suppressing of root respiration: Field observation in maize farmland in the agro-pastoral transitional zone, northeastern China

Yongqing Luo, Fengxia Zhang, Jieping Ding, Haojiang Bai, Yuqiang Li

Summary: Soil respiration in farmland, an important source of atmospheric CO2, was investigated in this study. Factors such as wind speed were found to significantly affect soil respiration rates, with root respiration being negatively correlated with wind speed. The decrease of farmland soil respiration caused by wind can be regulated through the use of artificial windbreaks or by adjusting the row space of crop planting. Further studies are needed to confirm these findings and explore additional factors influencing soil respiration rates.

Summary: This study conducted a regional study of annual gross primary productivity (AGPP) for grain production and terrestrial carbon sequestration based on 641 site measurements in China. The optimal mapping scheme was determined by analyzing various prediction tools, variable combinations, and mapping approaches, and the random forest regression tree model performed the best in predicting observed AGPP variations. Mapping AGPP through predicting AGPP per leaf area (PAGPP) showed the superior performance in explaining AGPP variations.

Nickel-Catalyzed Regio- and Enantioselective Borylative Coupling of Terminal Alkenes with Alkyl Halides Enabled by an Anionic Bisoxazoline Ligand

Zheqi Li, Hongjin Shi, Xueying Chen, Long Peng, Yuqiang Li, Guoyin Yin

Summary: Chiral boronic esters can be synthesized through an asymmetric nickel-catalyzed borylative coupling reaction between alkyl halides and terminal alkenes. The use of a chiral bisoxazoline ligand enables this reaction to proceed with high regio- and enantioselectivity. This method offers a three-component strategy for accessing alpha- and beta-stereogenic boronic esters from readily available starting materials. Additionally, it simplifies the synthesis of several drug molecules.

Spatial Heterogeneity of Vegetation Communities and Soil Properties in a Desert Solar Photovoltaic Power Station of the Hexi Corridor, Northwestern China

Wen Shang, Zhiping Zhang, Guiquan Fu, Qi Wang, Yuqiang Li, Li Chang

Summary: Arid sandy areas, such as the Hexi corridor in northwestern China, have been extensively used for solar photovoltaic (PV) system construction due to their potential for solar power generation. However, the spatial variability of vegetation and soil properties across different PV panel locations in these regions remains unclear. In this study, we assessed the vegetation community and soil properties at multiple locations within and near a PV station in the Hexi corridor. Our findings reveal differences in biomass, plant diversity, and soil properties inside and outside the PV station. Additionally, soil water content was highest under the PV panels, and the presence of PV panels positively influenced vegetation and soil properties.

Weiyu Kong, Yang Bao, Liguo Lu, Zhipeng Han, Yifan Zhong, Ran Zhang, Yuqiang Li, Guoyin Yin

Summary: We have developed a method for chain-walking carboborations of cyclohexenes based on nickel catalysis, achieving site- and stereoselective control of chain-walking on rings. Unlike the 1,4-trans-selectivity in polymer science, our reactions exhibit a high level of 1,3-regio- and cis-stereoselectivity. This study provides a concise and modular method for the synthesis of 1,3-disubstituted cyclohexylboron compounds, with the incorporation of a readily modifiable boronate group enhancing its synthetic potential.

XiaoMing Mou, YingWen Yu, Min Zhao, YuQiang Li, Masae Shiyomi

Summary: Spatial patterns of plant species and patchy community in grasslands are important properties. However, research on spatial patterns of patches formed by different species has not been fully advanced. This study aims to clarify differences in spatial patterns formed by species and community under different habitats. Three common Kobresia-Carex patches were selected in shady and terrace habitats on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau. The analysis showed that all species and patches exhibited aggregated distribution in both habitats, with dominant species playing a key role in determining the spatial heterogeneity of the patches.
