Aqueous redox flow batteries (ARFBs) are a promising technology for large-scale energy storage. Developing high-capacity and long-cycle negolyte materials is one of major challenges for practical ARFBs. Inorganic polysulfide is promising for ARFBs owing to its low cost and high solubility. However, it suffers from severe crossover resulting in low coulombic efficiency and limited lifespan. Organosulfides are more resistant to crossover than polysulfides owing to their bulky structures, but they suffer from slow reaction kinetics. Herein, we report a thiolate negolyte prepared by an exchange reaction between a polysulfide and an organosulfide, preserving low crossover rate of the organosulfide and high reaction kinetics of the polysulfide. The thiolate denoted as 2-hydroxyethyl disulfide+potassium polysulfide (HEDS+K2S2) shows reduced crossover rate than K2S2, faster reaction kinetics than HEDS, and longer lifespan than both HEDS and K2S2. The 1.5 M HEDS+1.5 M K2S2 static cell demonstrated 96 Ah L-1negolyte over 100 and 200 cycles with a high coulombic efficiency of 99.2% and 99.6% at 15 and 25 mA cm-2, respectively. The 0.5 M HEDS+0.5 M K2S2 flow cell delivered a stable and high capacity of 30.7 Ah L-1negolyte over 400 cycles (691 h) at 20 mA cm-2. This study presents an effective strategy to enable low-crossover and fast-kinetics sulfur-based negolytes for advanced ARFBs.

Aqueous organic redox flow batteries (AORFBs) have become increasing attractive for scalable energy storage. However, it remains challenging to develop high voltage, powerful AORFBs because of the lack of catholytes with high redox potential. Herein, we report methyl viologen dibromide (<b>[MV]Br<sub>2</sub></b>) as a facile self-trapping, bipolar redox electrolyte material for pH neutral redox flow battery applications. The formation of the <b>[MV](Br<sub>3</sub>)<sub>2</sub></b> complex was computationally predicted and experimentally confirmed. The low solubility <b>[MV](Br<sub>3</sub>)<sub>2</sub></b> complex in the catholyte during the battery charge process not only mitigates the crossover of charged tribromide species (Br<sub>3</sub><sup>-</sup>) and addresses the toxicity concern of volatile bromine simultaneously. A 1.53 V bipolar MV/Br AORFB delivered outstanding battery performance at pH neutral conditions, specifically, 100% total capacity retention, 133 mW/cm<sup>2</sup> power density, and 60% energy efficiency at 40 mA/cm<sup>2</sup>.

Chromatin relaxation is one of the earliest cellular responses to DNA damage. However, what determines these structural changes, including their ATP requirement, is not well understood. Using live-cell imaging and laser microirradiation to induce DNA lesions, we show that the local chromatin relaxation at DNA damage sites is regulated by PARP1 enzymatic activity. We also report that H1 is mobilized at DNA damage sites, but, since this mobilization is largely independent of poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation, it cannot solely explain the chromatin relaxation. Finally, we demonstrate the involvement of Alc1, a poly(ADP-ribose)- and ATP-dependent remodeler, in the chromatin-relaxation process. Deletion of Alc1 impairs chromatin relaxation after DNA damage, while its overexpression strongly enhances relaxation. Altogether our results identify Alc1 as an important player in the fast kinetics of the NAD+- and ATP-dependent chromatin relaxation upon DNA damage in vivo.

Abstract α-Pyrrolidinovalerophenone (αPVP) is a psychostimulant and drug of abuse associated with severe intoxications in humans. αPVP exerts long-lasting psychostimulant effects, when compared to the classical dopamine transporter (DAT) inhibitor cocaine. Here, we compared the two enantiomeric forms of αPVP, the R- and the S-αPVP, with cocaine using a combination of in silico, in vitro and in vivo approaches. We found that αPVP enantiomers substantially differ from cocaine in their binding kinetics. The two enantiomers differ from each other in their association rates. However, they show similar slow dissociation rates leading to pseudo-irreversible binding kinetics at DAT. The pseudo-irreversible binding kinetics of αPVP is responsible for the observed non-competitive pharmacology and it correlates with persistent psychostimulant effects in mice. Thus, the slow binding kinetics of αPVP enantiomers profoundly differ from the fast kinetics of cocaine both in vitro and in vivo, suggesting drug-binding kinetics as a potential driver of psychostimulant effects in vivo.
