At present, there are almost 700 million rural population in China, and the farm and farmers in China are highly associated with the steadiness and development of the country and even the world. ...Farmers are the main subjects in rural development and play a vital role in the reception, management, and benefit distribution in rural tourism activities during the development of rural tourism. Farmers’ perception and participation intention in rural tourism development are directly related to the sustainable development of rural tourism and the realization of rural revitalization goals. The decision-making process of participation in the rural tourism development fits the application conditions of the technology acceptance model (TAM). Therefore, in order to explore the influencing factors of farmers’ decision-making process in participating in the rural tourism, this study employs the technology acceptance model to predict and judge individual farmers’ willingness and behavior to participate in the rural tourism. The government trust and perceived risk in the real problem of low participation of farmers in the rural tourism development are considered. Then, an extended technology acceptance model was established by taking 409 farm households as research samples. The influence of government trust on farmers’ participation intention in the rural tourism was empirically analyzed based on the PLS-SEM model. The results show that farmers’ perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use in rural tourism affect their participation intention. Farmers’ judgments on whether governments can assume public responsibilities and achieve public interests through rural tourism development affects their trust in government, while the government trust can positively affect farmers’ participation intention
via
perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use. This indicates that government trust is an important antecedent variable influencing farmers’ participation in the rural tourism. The perceived risk affects farmers’ perceived usefulness and participation intention in the rural tourism, and plays a moderating role in the relationship between government trust and perceived usefulness. Finally, this study recommends to highlight the utility and convenience of rural tourism participation during the promotion of farmers’ participation in rural tourism development, enhance the ability of farmers to participate in rural tourism development, and choose multiple channels to increase government trust to reduce farmers’ risk concerns.
In this paper, we report the synthetic strategy of direct arylation polymerization (DAP) for four 2,2′-bithiophene-based conjugated microporous polymers (the 2,2′-BTh-based CMPs) by coupling ...2,2′-bithiophene with the building blocks containing bromine. Compared to conventional coupling polymerization, this synthetic scheme is simple, facile and atomically efficient owing to neither preactivating the C–H bonds in 2,2′-bithiophene using organometallic reagents nor synthesis of complex thiophene-based building blocks. The resulting 2,2′-BTh-based CMPs exhibit excellent thermal stability, high specific surface areas, and good microporosity. Their specific surface areas are higher than that of other previously reported CMPs prepared with DAP. The four 2,2′-BTh-based CMPs can be utilized for multicolor fluorescence sensing of 2,4-dinitrophenol (DNP) with the high sensitivity and selectivity. The sensitivities appear to increase with the degree of structural distortion.

The positions of double bonds in lipids play critical roles in their biochemical and biophysical properties. In this study, by coupling Paternò–Büchi (P‐B) reaction with tandem mass spectrometry, we ...developed a novel method that can achieve confident, fast, and sensitive determination of double bond locations within various types of lipids. The P‐B reaction is facilitated by UV irradiation of a nanoelectrospray plume entraining lipids and acetone. Tandem mass spectrometry of the on‐line reaction products via collision activation leads to the rupture of oxetane rings and the formation of diagnostic ions specific to the double bond location.
Where is the double bond? For the first time, the Paternò–Büchi (P‐B) reaction has been exploited for double‐bond localization in lipids. The P‐B reaction is facilitated by UV irradiation of a nanoelectrospray plume entraining lipids and acetone. Tandem mass spectrometry of the online reaction products by collision activation leads to the rupture of oxetane rings and the formation of diagnostic ions specific to the double‐bond location (see picture).
Nanostructures derived from zeolitic‐imidazole frameworks (ZIFs) gain much interest in bifunctional oxygen electrocatalysis. However, they are not satisfied well for long‐life rechargeable zinc–air ...batteries due to the limited single particle morphology. Herein, the preparation of an interconnected macroporous carbon matrix with a well‐defined 3D architecture by the pyrolysis of silica templated ZIF‐67 assemblies is reported. The matrix catalyst assembled zinc–air battery exhibits a high power density of 221.1 mW cm−2 as well as excellent stability during 500 discharging/charging cycles, surpassing that of a commercial Pt/C assembled battery. The synergistic effect from the interconnected macroporous structure together with abundant cobalt–nitrogen–carbon active sites justify the excellent electrocatalytic activity and battery performance. Considering the advanced nanostructures and performance, the as‐synthesized hybrid would be promising for rechargeable zinc–air batteries and other energy technologies. This work may also provide significant concept in the view of electrocatalysis design for long‐life battery.

Liquid crystal elastomers (LCEs) with intrinsic anisotropic strains are reversible shape‐memory polymers of interest in sensor, actuator, and soft robotics applications. Rapid gelation of LCEs is ...required to fix molecular ordering within the elastomer network, which is essential for directed shape transformation. A highly efficient photo‐cross‐linking chemistry, based on two‐step oxygen‐mediated thiol–acrylate click reactions, allows for nearly instant gelation of the main‐chain LCE network upon exposure to UV light. Molecular orientation from the pre‐aligned liquid crystal oligomers can be faithfully transferred to the LCE films, allowing for preprogrammed shape morphing from two to three dimensions by origami‐ (folding‐only) and kirigami‐like (folding with cutting) mechanisms. The new LCE chemistry also enables widely tunable physical properties, including nematic‐to‐ isotropic phase‐transition temperatures (TN‐I), glassy transition temperatures (Tg), and mechanical strains, without disrupting the LC ordering.
Liquid crystal (LC) elastomers are generated by a thiol–acrylate click reaction mediated by ambient oxygen. Superfast gelation occurs upon photopolymerization of liquid crystalline diacrylate monomers and dithiol‐terminated oligomers, leading to instant locking of the molecular order of the liquid crystals and allowing for programmable shape transformation from two to three dimensions.

Abstract
The zeolite Cu(I)Y is promising for adsorptive removal of thiophenic sulfur compounds from transportation fuels. However, its application is seriously hindered by the instability of Cu(I), ...which is easily oxidized to Cu(II) even under atmospheric environment due to the coexistence of moisture and oxygen. Here, we report the adjustment of zeolite microenvironment from hydrophilic to superhydrophobic status by coating polydimethylsiloxane (yielding Cu(I)Y@P), which isolates moisture entering the pores and subsequently stabilizes Cu(I) despite the presence of oxygen. Cu(I) in Cu(I)Y@P is stable upon exposure to humid atmosphere for 6 months, while almost all Cu(I) is oxidized to Cu(II) in Cu(I)Y for only 2 weeks. The optimized Cu(I)Y@P material after moisture exposure can remove 532 μmol g
−1
of thiophene and is much superior to Cu(I)Y (116 μmol g

), regardless of similar uptakes for unexposed adsorbents. Remarkably, Cu(I)Y@P shows excellent adsorption capacity of desulfurization for water-containing model fuel.
