Abstract
Lithium nitrate has been widely used to improve the interfacial stability of Li metal anode in ether electrolyte. However, the low solubility limits its application in carbonate electrolytes for high-voltage Li metal batteries. Herein, nitrated polycaprolactone (PCL-ONO2 ), which is prepared via the acylation of polycaprolactone diol (PCL-diol) followed by the grafting of nitrate group, has been proposed as an electrolyte additive to introduce high-concentration NO3 - into carbonate electrolytes for the first time. The theoretical calculations and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy depth profiling demonstrate that the PCL-ONO2 additive preferentially reacts with Li metal and in situ constructs a stable dual-layered solid electrolyte interphase film, presenting an inner nitride-rich layer and an outer flexible PCL-based layer on the surface of Li metal anode. As a result, the Li metal anode delivers an impressive long-term cycling performance over 1400 h at an elevated area capacity of 10.0 mAh cm-2 and an ultrahigh current density of 10.0 mA cm-2 in the Li symmetrical cells. Moreover, the PCL-ONO2 additive enables the full cells constructed by coupling high-loading LiFePO4 (20.0 mg cm-2 ) or LiNi0.5 Co0.2 Mn0.3 (16.5 mg cm-2 ) cathode and thin Li metal anode (≈50 µm) to demonstrate greatly improved cycling stability and rate capability.

Abstract
Nitrogen-containing heterocyclic volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are important components of wildfire emissions that are readily reactive toward nitrate radicals (NO3) during nighttime, but the oxidation mechanism and the potential formation of secondary organic aerosol (SOA) and brown carbon (BrC) are unclear. Here, NO3 oxidation of three nitrogen-containing heterocyclic VOCs, pyrrole, 1-methylyrrole (1-MP), and 2-methylpyrrole (2-MP), was investigated in chamber experiments to determine the effect of precursor structures on SOA and BrC formation. The SOA chemical compositions and the optical properties were analyzed using a suite of online and offline instrumentation. Dinitro- and trinitro-products were found to be the dominant SOA constituents from pyrrole and 2-MP, but not observed from 1-MP. Furthermore, the SOA from 2-MP and pyrrole showed strong light absorption, while that from 1-MP were mostly scattering. From these results, we propose that NO3-initiated hydrogen abstraction from the 1-position in pyrrole and 2-MP followed by radical shift and NO2 addition leads to light-absorbing nitroaromatic products. In the absence of a 1-position hydrogen, NO3 addition likely dominates the 1-MP chemistry. We also estimate that the total SOA mass and light absorption from pyrrole and 2-MP are comparable to those from phenolic VOCs and toluene in biomass burning, underscoring the importance of considering nighttime oxidation of pyrrole and methylpyrroles in air quality and climate models.

Abstract
The reactions of biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOC) with the nitrate radicals (NO3) are major night-time sources of organic nitrates and secondary organic aerosols (SOA) in regions influenced by BVOC and anthropogenic emissions. In this study, the formation of gas-phase highly oxygenated organic molecules-organic nitrates (HOM-ON) from NO3-initiated oxidation of a representative monoterpene, β-pinene, was investigated in the SAPHIR chamber (Simulation of Atmosphere PHotochemistry In a large Reaction chamber). Six monomer (C = 7-10, N = 1-2, O = 6-16) and five accretion product (C = 17-20, N = 2-4, O = 9-22) families were identified and further classified into first- or second-generation products based on their temporal behavior. The time lag observed in the peak concentrations between peroxy radicals containing odd and even number of oxygen atoms, as well as between radicals and their corresponding termination products, provided constraints on the HOM-ON formation mechanism. The HOM-ON formation can be explained by unimolecular or bimolecular reactions of peroxy radicals. A dominant portion of carbonylnitrates in HOM-ON was detected, highlighting the significance of unimolecular termination reactions by intramolecular H-shift for the formation of HOM-ON. A mean molar yield of HOM-ON was estimated to be 4.8% (-2.6%/+5.6%), suggesting significant HOM-ON contributions to the SOA formation.

Abstract
The effects of long‐term nitrate therapy are compromised due to protein S‐Nitrosylation, which is mediated by nitric oxide (NO). This study is to determine the role of Akt S‐Nitrosylation in the recovery of heart functions after ischaemia. In recombinant Akt protein and in HEK293 cells, NO donor decreased Akt activity and induced Akt S‐Nitrosylation, but was abolished if Akt protein was mutated by replacing cysteine 296/344 with alanine (Akt‐C296/344A). In endothelial cells, NO induced Akt S‐Nitrosylation, reduced Akt activity and damaged multiple cellular functions including proliferation, migration and tube formation. These alterations were ablated if cells expressed Akt‐C296/344A mutant. In Apoe−/− mice, nitroglycerine infusion increased both Akt S‐Nitrosylation and infarct size, reduced Akt activity and capillary density, and delayed the recovery of cardiac function in ischaemic hearts, compared with mice infused with vehicle. Importantly, these in vivo effects of nitroglycerine in Apoe−/− mice were remarkably prevented by adenovirus‐mediated enforced expression of Akt‐C296/344A mutant. In conclusion, long‐term usage of organic nitrate may inactivate Akt to delay ischaemia‐induced revascularization and the recovery of cardiac function through NO‐mediated S‐Nitrosylation.

Abstract
Non-invasive treatment of injuries and disorders affecting bone and connective tissue remains a significant challenge facing the medical community. A treatment route that has recently been proposed is nitric oxide (NO) therapy. Nitric oxide plays several important roles in physiology with many conditions lacking adequate levels of NO. As NO is a radical, localized delivery via NO donors is essential to promoting biological activity. Herein, we review current literature related to therapeutic NO delivery in the treatment of bone, skin and tendon repair.

Abstract
Organonitrates (ON) are important products of gas-phase oxidation of volatile organic compounds in the troposphere; some models predict, and laboratory studies show, the formation of large, multifunctional ON with vapor pressures low enough to partition to the particle phase. Organosulfates (OS) have also been recently detected in secondary organic aerosol. Despite their potential importance, ON and OS remain a nearly unexplored aspect of atmospheric chemistry because few studies have quantified particulate ON or OS in ambient air. We report the response of a high-resolution time-of-flight aerosol mass spectrometer (AMS) to aerosol ON and OS standards and mixtures. We quantify the potentially substantial underestimation of organic aerosol O/C, commonly used as a metric for aging, and N/C. Most of the ON-nitrogen appears as NO(x)+ ions in the AMS, which are typically dominated by inorganic nitrate. Minor organonitrogen ions are observed although their identity and intensity vary between standards. We evaluate the potential for using NO(x)+ fragment ratios, organonitrogen ions, HNO(3)+ ions, the ammonium balance of the nominally inorganic ions, and comparison to ion-chromatography instruments to constrain the concentrations of ON for ambient datasets, and apply these techniques to a field study in Riverside, CA. OS manifests as separate organic and sulfate components in the AMS with minimal organosulfur fragments and little difference in fragmentation from inorganic sulfate. The low thermal stability of ON and OS likely causes similar detection difficulties for other aerosol mass spectrometers using vaporization and/or ionization techniques with similar or larger energy, which has likely led to an underappreciation of these species.

Abstract
Nitroglycerin (glyceryl trinitrate; GTN) is the most prominent representative of the organic nitrates or nitrovasodilators, a class of compounds that have been used clinically since the late nineteenth century for the treatment of coronary artery disease (angina pectoris), congestive heart failure and myocardial infarction. Medline lists more than 15 000 publications on GTN and other organic nitrates, but the mode of action of these drugs is still largely a mystery. In the first part of this article, we give an overview on the molecular mechanisms of GTN biotransformation resulting in vascular cyclic GMP accumulation and vasodilation with focus on the role of mitochondrial aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH2) and the link between the ALDH2 reaction and activation of vascular soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC). In particular, we address the identity of the bioactive species that activates sGC and the potential involvement of nitrite as an intermediate, describe our recent findings suggesting that ALDH2 catalyses direct 3-electron reduction of GTN to NO and discuss possible reaction mechanisms. In the second part, we discuss contingent processes leading to markedly reduced sensitivity of blood vessels to GTN, referred to as vascular nitrate tolerance. Again, we focus on ALDH2 and describe the current controversy on the role of ALDH2 inactivation in tolerance development. Finally, we emphasize some of the most intriguing, in our opinion, unresolved puzzles of GTN pharmacology that urgently need to be addressed in future studies.

Abstract
During the 1980s, the free radical, nitric oxide (NO), was discovered to be a crucial signalling molecule, with wide-ranging functions in the cardiovascular, nervous and immune systems. Aside from providing a credible explanation for the actions of organic nitrates and sodium nitroprusside that have long been used in the treatment of angina and hypertensive crises respectively, the discovery generated great hopes for new NO-based treatments for a wide variety of ailments. Decades later, however, we are still awaiting novel licensed agents in this arena, despite an enormous research effort to this end. This review explores some of the most promising recent advances in NO donor drug development and addresses the challenges associated with NO as a therapeutic agent.
