Abstract
Microfluidic technology has emerged as a powerful tool in studying arterial thrombosis, allowing researchers to construct artificial blood vessels and replicate the hemodynamics of blood flow. This technology has led to significant advancements in understanding thrombosis and platelet adhesion and aggregation. Microfluidic models have various types and functions, and by studying the fabrication methods and working principles of microfluidic chips, applicable methods can be selected according to specific needs. The rapid development of microfluidic integrated system and modular microfluidic system makes arterial thrombosis research more diversified and automated, but its standardization still needs to be solved urgently. One key advantage of microfluidic technology is the ability to precisely control fluid flow in microchannels and to analyze platelet behavior under different shear forces and flow rates. This allows researchers to study the physiological and pathological processes of blood flow, shedding light on the underlying mechanisms of arterial thrombosis. In conclusion, microfluidic technology has revolutionized the study of arterial thrombosis by enabling the construction of artificial blood vessels and accurately reproducing hemodynamics. In the future, microfluidics will place greater emphasis on versatility and automation, holding great promise for advancing antithrombotic therapeutic and prophylactic measures.

J Enzyme Inhib Med Chem 2024; 39:2353711. [PMID: 38887057 PMCID: PMC11232653 DOI: 10.1080/14756366.2024.2353711] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/23/2024] [Accepted: 05/02/2024] [Indexed: 06/20/2024] Open
Abstract
The PD-1/PD-L1 pathway is considered as one of the most promising immune checkpoints in tumour immunotherapy. However, researchers are faced with the inherent limitations of antibodies, driving them to pursue PD-L1 small molecule inhibitors. Virtual screening followed by experimental validation is a proven approach to discover active compounds. In this study, we employed multistage virtual screening methods to screen multiple compound databases to predict new PD-1/PD-L1 ligands. 35 compounds were proposed by combined analysis of fitness scores, interaction pattern and MM-GBSA binding affinities. Enzymatic assay confirmed that 10 out of 35 ligands were potential PD-L1 inhibitors, with inhibitory rate higher than 50% at the concentration of 30 µM. Among them, ZDS20 was identified as the most effective inhibitor with low micromolar activity (IC50 = 3.27 μM). Altogether, ZDS20 carrying novel scaffold was identified and could serve as a lead for the development of new classes of PD-L1 inhibitors.

Comput Struct Biotechnol J 2024; 23:982-989. [PMID: 38404709 PMCID: PMC10883975 DOI: 10.1016/j.csbj.2024.02.005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/12/2023] [Revised: 02/07/2024] [Accepted: 02/07/2024] [Indexed: 02/27/2024] Open
Abstract
The thermostable α-amylase derived from Bacillus licheniformis (BLA) has multiple advantages, including enhancing the mass transfer rate and by reducing microbial contamination in starch hydrolysis. Nonetheless, the application of BLA is constrained by the accessibility and stability of enzymes capable of achieving high conversion rates at elevated temperatures. Moreover, the thermotolerance of BLA requires further enhancement. Here, we developed a computational strategy for constructing small and smart mutant libraries to identify variants with enhanced thermostability. Initially, molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were employed to identify the regions with high flexibility. Subsequently, FoldX, a computational design predictor, was used to design mutants by rigidifying highly flexible residues, whereas the simultaneous decrease in folding free energy assisted in improving thermostability. Through the utilization of MD and FoldX, residues K251, T277, N278, K319, and E336, situated at a distance of 5 Å from the catalytic triad, were chosen for mutation. Seventeen mutants were identified and characterized by evaluating enzymatic characteristics and kinetic parameters. The catalytic efficiency of the E271L/N278K mutant reached 184.1 g L-1 s-1, which is 1.88-fold larger than the corresponding value determined for the WT. Furthermore, the most thermostable mutant, E336S, exhibited a 1.43-fold improvement in half-life at 95 ℃, compared with that of the WT. This study, by combining computational simulation with experimental verification, establishes that potential sites can be computationally predicted to increase the activity and stability of BLA and thus provide a possible strategy by which to guide protein design.

Abstract
A novel aspartic protease gene (TaproA1) from Trichoderma asperellum was successfully expressed in Komagataella phaffii (Pichia pastoris). TaproA1 showed 52.8% amino acid sequence identity with the aspartic protease PEP3 from Coccidioides posadasii C735. TaproA1 was efficiently produced in a 5 L fermenter with a protease activity of 4092 U/mL. It exhibited optimal reaction conditions at pH 3.0 and 50 °C and was stable within pH 3.0-6.0 and at temperatures up to 45 °C. The protease exhibited broad substrate specificity with high hydrolysis activity towards myoglobin and hemoglobin. Furthermore, duck blood proteins (hemoglobin and plasma protein) were hydrolyzed by TaproA1 to prepare bioactive peptides with high ACE inhibitory activity. The IC50 values of hemoglobin and plasma protein hydrolysates from duck blood proteins were 0.105 mg/mL and 0.091 mg/mL, respectively. Thus, the high yield and excellent biochemical characterization of TaproA1 presented here make it a potential candidate for the preparation of duck blood peptides. KEY POINTS: • An aspartic protease (TaproA1) from Trichoderma asperellum was expressed in Komagataella phaffii. • TaproA1 exhibited broad substrate specificity and the highest activity towards myoglobin and hemoglobin. • TaproA1 has great potential for the preparation of bioactive peptides from duck blood proteins.

Appl Microbiol Biotechnol 2024; 108:100. [PMID: 38217256 PMCID: PMC10786974 DOI: 10.1007/s00253-023-12819-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/04/2023] [Revised: 12/06/2023] [Accepted: 12/18/2023] [Indexed: 01/15/2024]
Abstract
Octadecyl 3-(3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl) propanoate (ODHP) was extracted in a previous study from the culture broth of soil isolate Alcaligenes faecalis MT332429 and showed a promising antimycotic activity. This study was aimed to formulate ODHP loaded β-cyclodextrins (CD) nanosponge (NS) hydrogel (HG) to control skin fungal ailments since nanosponges augment the retention of tested agents in the skin. Box-Behnken design was used to produce the optimized NS formulation, where entrapment efficiency percent (EE%), polydispersity index (PDI), and particle size (PS) were assigned as dependent parameters, while the independent process parameters were polyvinyl alcohol % (w/v %), polymer-linker ratio, homogenization time, and speed. The carbopol 940 hydrogel was then created by incorporating the nanosponges. The hydrogel fit Higuchi's kinetic release model the best, according to in vitro drug release. Stability and photodegradation studies revealed that the NS-HG remained stable under tested conditions. The formulation also showed higher in vitro antifungal activity against Candida albicans compared to the control fluconazole. In vivo study showed that ODHP-NS-HG increased survival rates, wound contraction, and healing of wound gap and inhibited the inflammation process compared to the other control groups. The histopathological examinations and Masson's trichrome staining showed improved healing and higher records of collagen deposition. Moreover, the permeability of ODHP-NS-HG was higher through rats' skin by 1.5-folds compared to the control isoconazole 1%. Therefore, based on these results, NS-HG formulation is a potential carrier for enhanced and improved topical delivery of ODHP. Our study is a pioneering research on the development of a formulation for ODHP produced naturally from soil bacteria. KEY POINTS: • Octadecyl 3-(3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl) propanoate was successfully formulated as a nanosponge hydrogel and statistically optimized. • The new formula exhibited in vitro good stability, drug release, and higher antifungal activity against C. albicans as compared to the fluconazole. • Ex vivo showed enhanced skin permeability, and in vivo analysis showed high antifungal activity as evidenced by measurement of various biochemical parameters and histopathological examination.

Abstract
In recent years, DNA origami-based nanocarriers have been extensively utilized for efficient cancer therapy. However, developing a nanocarrier capable of effectively protecting cargos such as RNA remains a challenge. In this study, we designed a compact and controllable DNA tubular origami (DTO) measuring 120 nm in length and 18 nm in width. The DTO exhibited appropriate structural characteristics for encapsulating and safeguarding cargo. Inside the DTO, we incorporated 20 connecting points to facilitate the delivery of cargoes to various ovarian and normal epithelial cell lines. Specifically, fluorescent-labeled DNA strands were attached to these sites as cargoes. The DTO was engineered to open upon encountering miR-21 through RNA/DNA strand displacement. Significantly, for the first time, we inhibited fluorescence using the compact DNA nanotube and observed dynamic fluorescent signals, indicating the controllable opening of DTO through live-cell imaging. Our results demonstrated that the DTO remained properly closed, exhibited effective internalization in ovarian cancer cells in vitro, showcasing marked differential expression of miR-21, and efficiently opened with short-term exposure to miR-21. Leveraging its autonomous behavior and compact design, the DTO emerges as a promising nanocarrier for various clinically relevant materials. It holds significant application prospects in anti-cancer therapy and the development of flexible biosensors.

Abstract
Most of the genome is transcribed into RNA but only 2% of the sequence codes for proteins. Non-coding RNA transcripts include a very large number of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs). A growing number of identified lncRNAs operate in cellular stress responses, for example in response to hypoxia, genotoxic stress, and oxidative stress. Additionally, lncRNA plays important roles in epigenetic mechanisms operating at chromatin and in maintaining chromatin architecture. Here, we address three lncRNA topics that have had significant recent advances. The first is an emerging role for many lncRNAs in cellular stress responses. The second is the development of high throughput screening assays to develop causal relationships between lncRNAs across the genome with cellular functions. Finally, we turn to recent advances in understanding the role of lncRNAs in regulating chromatin architecture and epigenetics, advances that build on some of the earliest work linking RNA to chromatin architecture.

Abstract
Acute myocardial infarction, characterized by high morbidity and mortality, has now become a serious health hazard for human beings. Conventional surgical interventions to restore blood flow can rapidly relieve acute myocardial ischemia, but the ensuing myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (MI/RI) and subsequent heart failure have become medical challenges that researchers have been trying to overcome. The pathogenesis of MI/RI involves several mechanisms, including overproduction of reactive oxygen species, abnormal mitochondrial function, calcium overload, and other factors that induce cell death and inflammatory responses. These mechanisms have led to the exploration of antioxidant and inflammation-modulating therapies, as well as the development of myocardial protective factors and stem cell therapies. However, the short half-life, low bioavailability, and lack of targeting of these drugs that modulate these pathological mechanisms, combined with liver and spleen sequestration and continuous washout of blood flow from myocardial sites, severely compromise the expected efficacy of clinical drugs. To address these issues, employing conventional nanocarriers and integrating them with contemporary biomimetic nanocarriers, which rely on passive targeting and active targeting through precise modifications, can effectively prolong the duration of therapeutic agents within the body, enhance their bioavailability, and augment their retention at the injured myocardium. Consequently, these approaches significantly enhance therapeutic effectiveness while minimizing toxic side effects. This article reviews current drug delivery systems used for MI/RI, aiming to offer a fresh perspective on treating this disease.

Abstract
Many waterborne diseases are related with viruses, and COVID-19 worldwide has raised the concern of virus security in water into the public horizon. Compared to other conventional water treatment processes, membrane technology can achieve satisfactory virus removal with fewer chemicals, and prevent the outbreaks of viruses to a maximal extent. Researchers developed new modification methods to improve membrane performance. This review focused on the membrane modifications that enhance the performance in virus removal. The characteristics of viruses and their removal by membrane filtration were briefly generalized, and membrane modifications were systematically discussed through different virus removal mechanisms, including size exclusion, hydrophilic and hydrophobic interactions, electronic interactions, and inactivation. Advanced functional materials for membrane modification were summarized based on their nature. Furthermore, it is suggested that membranes should be enhanced through different mechanisms mainly based on their ranks of pore size. The current review provided theoretical support regarding membrane modifications in the enhancement of virus removal and avenues for practical application.

Abstract
Cancer has a devastating impact globally regardless of gender, age, and community, which continues its severity to the population due to the lack of efficient strategy for the cancer diagnosis and treatment. According to the World Health Organisation report, one out of six people dies due to this deadly cancer and we need effective strategies to regulate it. In this context, trace element has a very hidden and unexplored role and require more attention from investigators. The variation in concentration of trace elements was observed during comparative studies on a cancer patient and a healthy person making them an effective target for cancer regulation. The percentage of trace elements present in the human body depends on environmental exposure, food habits, and habitats and could be instrumental in the early diagnosis of cancer. In this review, we have conducted inclusive analytics on trace elements associated with the various types of cancers and explored the several methods involved in their analysis. Further, intricacies in the correlation of trace elements with prominent cancers like prostate cancer, breast cancer, and leukaemia are represented in this review. This comprehensive information on trace elements proposes their role during cancer and as biomarkers in cancer diagnosis.

Acne is a common chronic inflammatory disorder of the sebaceous gland in the hair follicle. Commonly used external medications cause skin irritation, and the transdermal capacity is weak, making it difficult to penetrate the cuticle skin barrier. Hair follicles can aid in the breakdown of this barrier. As nanomaterials progress, polymer-based nanocarriers are routinely used for hair follicle drug delivery to treat acne and other skin issues. Based on the physiological and anatomical characteristics of hair follicles, this paper discusses factors affecting hair follicle delivery by polymer nanocarriers, summarizes the common combination technology to improve the targeting of hair follicles by carriers, and finally reviews the most recent research progress of different polymer nanodrug-delivery systems for the treatment of acne by targeting hair follicles.

Abstract
African swine fever (ASF) is a devastating disease with a high impact on the pork industry worldwide. ASF virus (ASFV) is a very complex pathogen, the sole member of the family Asfaviridae, which induces a state of immune suppression in the host through infection of myeloid cells and apoptosis of lymphocytes. Moreover, haemorrhages are the other main pathogenic effect of ASFV infection in pigs, related to the infection of endothelial cells, as well as the activation and structural changes of this cell population by proinflammatory cytokine upregulation within bystander monocytes and macrophages. There are still many gaps in the knowledge of the role of proteins produced by the ASFV, which is related to the difficulty in producing a safe and effective vaccine to combat the disease, although few candidates have been approved for use in Southeast Asia in the past couple of years.

Abstract
Abdominal surgery such as ovariectomy is a traumatic event that can cause oxidative stress. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the concentration of serotonin in relation to ovariectomy-induced oxidative stress in dogs undergoing general anesthesia. Thirty-two female dogs, under general anesthesia, received meloxicam before surgery (0.2 mgkg-1 SC) and after surgery (0.1 mgkg-1 OS every 24 h). The physiological, hematological, and biochemical parameters: glycemia, aspartate transaminase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), total protein, albumin and BUN were evaluated. Oxidative stress was determined by malondialdehyde (MDA) assay, catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD), myeloperoxidase (MPO) and butyrylcholinesterase (BuChe) at baseline, 36 and 48 h after the last administration of meloxicam. Serotonin (5-HT) concentration was also evaluated at baseline, 36 and 48 h after the last administration of meloxicam. Responses to surgical stimulus were evaluated. Physiological and hematological parameters they fell within the normal ranges for anesthetized dogs. Glycemia increased, albumin levels decreased after surgery. No rescue analgesia was required. MDA and 5-HT concentrations significantly increased from the baseline at 36 and 48 h after surgery (p < .001). 5-HT levels could be used as an indicator for oxidative stress induced by surgery and it might be employed for objectively quantifying the well-being of the surgical patient.

Abstract
Protocatechualdehyde is a plant natural phenolic aldehyde and an active ingredient with important bioactivities in traditional Chinese medicine. Protocatechualdehyde is also a key intermediate in the synthesis of Amaryllidaceae alkaloids for supplying the C6-C1 skeleton. However, the biosynthesis of protocatechualdehyde in plants remains obscure. In this study, we measured the protocatechualdehyde contents in the root, bulb, scape and flower of the Amaryllidaceae plant Lycoris aurea (L'Hér.) Herb., and performed the correlation analysis between the protocatechualdehyde contents and the transcriptional levels of the phenolic oxidization candidate protein encoding genes. We found that a novel ascorbate peroxidase encoded by the contig_24999 in the L. aurea transcriptome database had potential role in the biosynthesis of protocatechualdehyde. The LauAPX_24999 gene was then cloned from the cDNA of the scape of L. aurea. The transient expression of LauAPX_24999 protein in Arabidopsis protoplasts demonstrated that LauAPX_24999 protein was localized in the cytoplasm, thus belonging to Class II L-ascorbate peroxidase. Subsequently, LauAPX_24999 protein was heterogenously expressed in Escherichia coli, and identified that LauAPX_24999 biosynthesized protocatechualdehyde from p-hydroxybenzaldehyde using L-ascorbic acid as the electron donor. The protein structure modelling and molecular docking indicated that p-hydroxybenzaldehyde could access to the active pocket of LauAPX_24999 protein, and reside at the δ-edge of the heme group while L-ascorbic acid binds at the γ-heme edge. To our knowledge, LauAPX_24999 is the first enzyme discovered in plants able to biosynthesize protocatechualdehyde from p-hydroxybenzaldehyde, and offers a competent enzyme resource for the biosynthesis of Amaryllidaceae alkaloids via synthetic biology.

Abstract
Solid solution of metal-doped oxide has been widely used in material industry and catalysis process. Its performance is highly correlated with the distribution of doped ions. Due to the complex distribution of doped ions in solid solution and its variation with temperatures, to obtain the microstructures of metal-doped ions in solid solution remains a substantial challenge. Taken Ce1-xZrxO2 as a model, the global structure searching, structures proportion with temperature determined by Boltzmann distribution, and the weighted simulation Raman spectra were integrated to explore the microstructures of metal-doped solid solution oxides. It was further verified by application into rutile and anatase TiO2 mixture, indicating that the present method is feasible to deduce the microstructure of metal composite oxides. We anticipate that it provides a powerful solution to explore microstructures of solid solution and complex metal oxides.

Abstract
Herein, Nitrogen-doped graphyne/porous g-C3N4 composites are firstly in-situ synthesized via the ultrasound vibration of CaC2, triazine, and porous g-C3N4 in absolute ethanol. A variety of characterizations are performed to investigate the morphology, microstructure, composition, and electrical/optical features of the obtained composites, such as transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectra, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and so forth. It is found that N-doped graphyne with flexible folds lamellar structure is intimately attached to flake g-C3N4 in the as-prepared composites. An enlargement of 1.68 and 1.44 folds for the photocatalytic degradation of levofloxacin, rhodamine B, Methylene blue, and Tetracycline is realized by N-doped graphyne/g-C3N4 in comparison with that of pristine g-C3N4, respectively. In addition, the highest NH3 production rate attains 1.71 mmol⋅gcat-1⋅h-1 for N-doped graphyne/g-C3N4, which is 5.89 times larger than that of g-C3N4 (0.29 mmol⋅gcat-1⋅h-1). The improved mechanism of photocatalysis including higher photo-response and carrier separation rate is verified by transient photo-current, transient photo-potential, Mott-Schottky plots, Tafel plots, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, turn-over frequency, photoluminescence spectra, and UV-vis diffuse absorption spectra, etc. Overall, the current study shows that N-doped graphyne synthesized from CaC2 and triazine is a useful decoration to modulate the photocatalytic features of g-C3N4, which can also be widely extended for in-situ modification of other photocatalysts.

Abstract
Iron-sulfur cluster conversion and nitrosyl modification are involved in regulating their functions and play critical roles in signaling for biological systems. Hereby, the photo-induced dynamic process of (Me4N)2[Fe2S2(NO)4] was monitored using time-resolved electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectra, MS spectra and cellular imaging methods. Photo-irradiation and the solvent affect the reaction rates and products. Spectroscopic and kinetic studies have shown that the process involves at least three intermediates: spin-trapped NO free radical species with a gav at 2.040, and two other iron nitrosyl species, dinitrosyl iron units (DNICs) and mononitrosyl iron units (MNICs) with gav values at 2.031 and 2.024, respectively. Moreover, the [Fe2S2(NO)4]2- cluster could bind with ferritin and decompose gradually, and a binding state of dinitrosyl iron coordinated with Cys102 of the recombinant human heavy chain ferritin (rHuHF) was finally formed. This study provides insight into the photodynamic mechanism of nitrosyl iron - sulfur clusters to improve the understanding of physiological activity.

Abstract
This study investigates four phenothiazinium dyes including methylene blue (MB) and three analogues containing auxochrome variation 2-4 as oxygen colorimetric indicators prepared by their incorporation into two types of oxygen permeable materials containing: a) polyvinyl alcohol substrate with additional TiO2 photocatalysts (PhOxIn), and b) carboxymethylcellulose polymer matrix containing glucose and KOH (ChOxIn). In vacuum packages where volumetric concentrations of oxygen were below 0.01 %, the leuco forms of the tested phenothiazinum dyes were readily oxidised, initiating the colour turn from white to blue. The redox processes involved were explored by experimental electron paramagnetic resonance EPR and UV-vis spectroscopic methods and further supported by theoretical quantum chemistry. The EPR experiments showed that the chemical oxidation of the leuco-form of the phenothiazinium dyes 1-4 produced transient aminyl radical species with the single electron mainly located at the nitrogen atom of the heterocyclic core. The formation of these transient aminyl species was also perceived by UV-vis spectroscopy, their absorption maxima situated in the 552-592 nm range being also supported by TD-DFT theoretical calculations.

Abstract
Biscarbazole derivative probe (6) (Z)-2-(3-(((9-heptyl-9H-carbazol-3-yl)methylene)amino)-9H-carbazol-9-yl)ethan-1-ol containing an imine group, which is a sensitive and selective fluorescence chemosensor, was designed and synthesized for the effective evaluation of Cu2+ metal ion levels. The synthesized compounds were characterized using 1H NMR, 13C NMR, FT-IR, and MALDI-TOF MS (for compound 6) spectroscopic data. The interaction model between probe 6 and Cu2+ was determined by combining fluorescence methods, 1H NMR titration, Job's plot, and theoretical calculations. For probe 6, the fluorogenic recognition of Cu2+ was investigated by fluorescence spectroscopy, and the optical changes caused by Cu2+ ions were carried out in ACN/H2O (50:50) solution at pH 7.0. Fluorescence probe 6 was found to "turn-off" its fluorescence in the presence of paramagnetic Cu2+ ions. Probe 6 was determined to have a rapid response within 40s and showed a fluorescence response to Cu2+ with a low detection limit of 0.16 μM. Additionally, in vitro anticancer activity and cell imaging studies of probe 6 against the prostate cell line (PC-3) were performed.

Abstract
Reaction between the polymeric [RuCl2(CO)2]n and the N,N-bidentate ligand, 8-amino-quinoline (Quin), in methanol, afforded the photoactivated CO releasing molecule with the formula of trans-(Cl,Cl)-[RuCl2(CO)2Quin]. In the presence of biomolecules or in solvents with varying polarity and coordinating abilities, the solvatochromic characteristics and dark stability were investigated. A new board band emerged in the visible spectrum during the illumination, and its position varies according to the type of solvent used, indicating the role of the solvent in controlling the nature of the CO-depleted species. Spectral methods were used in combination with density functional theory simulations to get insight into the local minimum structure and the electronic properties of the Ru(II) complex. The results of the myoglobin assay showed that within the first two hours of illumination, one of the two CO molecules was released. The cytotoxic properties of the Ru(II)-based complex were investigated against normal mice bone marrow stromal cells and malignant human acute monocytic leukaemia cells.

Abstract
As one of endogenous reactive oxygen species (ROS), peroxynitrite (ONOO-) performs various functions in both pathological and physiological mechanisms. In this work, an optical and near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent probe (NX), which based on 3-dihydro-1H-xanthene and 2-dicyanomethylene-3-cyano-4,5,5-trimethyl-2,5-dihydrofuran (TCF) group was designed and prepared to detect ONOO-. This probe revealed an obvious optical and a fluorescent response when ONOO- was present and it exhibited higher selectivity over other ROS. Especially, the dual NIR fluorescence changes at 660 and 800 nm allowed quantitative detection of ONOO- in the range of 15-40 μM, and the detection limit was 82 nM. Finally, the probe was effectively employed to visualize exogenous and endogenous ONOO- in HepG2 cells and zebrafish, respectively. All the results indicated the dual NIR-channel probe could serve as a potent detecting tools in studying ONOO- in vitro and in vivo.

Abstract
We synthesized and studied a novel bichromophoric dyad in which bridging methylene groups link two styrylbenzo[f]quinoline (SBQ) photochromes to a salicylic acid residue. The dyad was designed for use as a fluorescent P-type photochrome acting via a [2 + 2] photocycloaddition (PCA) reaction. Compared to previously studied dyads, a change in the attachment handle and shortening of the bridging groups resulted in simultaneous rise of the quantum yields of both fluorescence and PCA. Under light irradiation, two competitive reversible reactions occurred in the dyad. The first is photoisomerization between the trans- and cis- isomers of the SBQ moieties. The second is PCA. The latter process was predominant and resulted in the formation of the cyclobutane ring bearing two benzo[f]quinoline (BQ) groups. In the ground S0 state, NMR data and DFT calculations indicated the formation of folded dyad conformers whose structure is pre-organized for PCA due to π-stacking interactions of two SBQ moieties. In the excited dyad, steady-state and time-resolved nanosecond fluorescence spectroscopy revealed the formation of an excimer, which was assumed to be a precursor of cyclobutane. Due to the fluorescence properties of SBQ and BQ, both dyad and cyclobutane fluoresce and can serve as a color-correlated multicolor fluorescence photoswitch. A simple approach is proposed for predicting the relationship between the spectral properties of the dyad and cyclobutane, which are the open and closed isomers of a new type of photochromes. The approach uses the dependence of the position of the maximum of the absorption band of an aromatic compound on the size of the π-system, as well as the fact that the sizes of the π-systems of the dyad and cyclobutane are related by a simple relation.

Abstract
A mid-infrared quantum cascade laser (Mid-IR QCL) coupled with a Single Pass Cell and a Multi Pass Cell, was utilized to measure ammonia (NH3) absorption spectroscopic parameters and determine NH3 impurities toward three emerging applications. We for the first time measured the pressure broadening coefficients perturbed by Air, O2, N2, He, CO2, CH4, and H2 and the line intensities of six NH3 transition lines near 1084.6 cm-1. The measured NH3-He, NH3-Air, and NH3-CO2 broadening coefficients align with HITRAN database, while NH3-H2 coefficients exhibit a maximum discrepancy of 46 %. Deviations between the measured line intensities and HITRAN database are minimal. Nevertheless, the uncertainties of line intensities have been significantly reduced from 20 % in HITRAN to below 3 %. The newly measured line parameters are utilized to address NH3 impurity requirements outlined in CCUS (ISO 27913:2016), Biomethane (EN 16723:2016), and H2 (ISO 14687:2019) standards. Based on the concept of optical gas standard (OGS), the NH3 impurity detection requirements in all three standards have been fulfilled with an uncertainty of 1.35 %. The precision of the NH3-OGS is 800 part per trillion (ppt) with an integration time of 100 s. The repeatability of the NH3-OGS is 130 ppt for a continuous measurement time of 48 min. Notably, the NH3-OGS effectively addresses the highly nonlinear adsorption-desorption dynamics, underscoring the potential of OGS as a calibration-free and SI-traceable metrological gas analysis instrument.

Abstract
Five series of cyanostilbene-based rod-like liquid crystals containing one different terminal atom (H, F, Cl, Br and I) at one end and one terminal aliphatic chain with different numbers of carbon atoms at the other end were reported by Suzuki coupling and Knoevenagel reactions. The influence of terminal halogen atoms and terminal chain length on the self-assembly, AIE behavior, temperature-dependent emission and mechanochromism behavior was explored by POM, DSC, XRD, SEM, absorption spectra and emission spectra. All the compounds are enantiotropic liquid crystals. The lowest non-halogen substituted homologue exhibited solo N phase, but the higher non-halogen substituted homologues exhibited mesogenic transition from SmA phase to N phase upon rising temperature. All the lowest halogen substituted homologues exhibited mesogenic transition from SmA phase to N phase upon rising temperature and all the higher homologues only exhibited SmA. The distinct mesogenic phase transition could be attributed to the intermolecular interaction produced by terminal halogen and the rigidity of the terminal aliphatic chain. All the non-halogen substituted compounds and halogen substituted compounds with smaller terminal halogen atom (F, Cl and Br atom) exhibited AIE behaviors, whereas the iodinated compounds exhibited extremely weak emission in solution and aggregated states due to the heavy atoms effect. These compounds also exhibited distinct solid-state emission with blue or cyan fluorescence, which could be quenched by increasing temperature. The reversible mechanochromism behavior was also achieved in all the compounds. The mechanical force induced quench in emission in non-halogen substituted compounds and halogen substituted compounds with smaller terminal halogen atom (F, Cl and Br atom), whereas enhancement in iodinated compounds. The reversible mechanochromism behavior endowed these compounds with potential applications in rewritable paper and anti-counterfeiting. The interesting properties in these liquid crystals would be attributed to the balance of the halogen-halogen interactions, heavy atom effect, steric-hindrance effect and chain length. These investigations would be helpful to understand the relationship between chemical structures and properties.

Abstract
Herein, a composite of N-doped carbon coated phosphating cobalt hollow nanofibers (N/C@CoP-HNFs) was synthesized by electrospinning, phosphating, and carbon coating processes. When employed as multifunctional electrode materials for potassium-ion batteries (PIBs) and lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries, the N/C@CoP-HNFs demonstrated notable electrochemical properties. Specifically, it delivered an initial specific capacity of 420.4 mA h g-1 at a current density of 100 mA g-1, with a sustained capacity of 190.8 mA h g-1 after 200 cycles in PIBs, and a specific capacity of 1448 mA h g-1 at a current density of 0.5C in Li-S batteries, which is considered relatively high for these types of battery technology. This good performance may due to the combination of the carbon nitrogen layer and cobalt phosphide bilayer hollow tube structure, which is conducive to telescoping the diffusion length of ions and electrons and buffer volume variation, and effectively inhibits the shuttle effect. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations were also used to explore the energy storage mechanism of the material. The possible adsorption sites and corresponding adsorption energy of K+ were analyzed, and the advantages of the material were explored by calculating the diffusion barrier and state density. The theoretical simulations further validated the strong adsorption capability of CoP for polysulfides. This work is expected to provide new ideas for new energy storage materials.

Abstract
Single-atom catalysts (SACs) have been widely studied in Fenton-like reactions, wherein their catalytic performance could be further enhanced by adjusting electronic structure and regulating coordination environment, although relevant research is rarely reported. This text elucidates fabrication of dual atom catalyst systems aimed at augmenting their catalytic efficiency. Herein, atomically dispersed copper-zinc (Cu-Zn) dual sites anchored on nitrogen (N)-doped porous carbon (NC), referred to as CuZn-NC, were synthesized using cage-encapsulated pyrolysis and host-guest strategies. The CuZn-NC catalyst exhibited high activity in activation of peroxymonosulfate (PMS) for degradation of organic pollutants. Based on synergistic effects of adjacent Cu and Zn atom pairs, CuZn-NC (PMS) system achieved 94.44 % bisphenol A (BPA) degradation in 24 min. The radical pathway predominated, and coexistence of non-radical species was demonstrated for BPA degradation in CuZn-NC/PMS system. More importantly, CuZn-NC/PMS system showed generality for degradation of various refractory contaminants. Our experiments indicate that CuZn-N sites on CuZn-NC act as active sites for bonding PMS molecules with optimal binding energy, while pyrrolic N sites are considered as adsorption sites for organic molecules. Overall, this research designs diatomic site catalysts (DACs), with promising implications for wastewater treatment.

Abstract
Electrochemical seawater splitting is a sustainable pathway towards hydrogen production independent of scarce freshwater resources. However, the high energy consumption and harmful chlorine-chemistry interference still pose major technological challenges. Herein, thermodynamically more favorable sulfion oxidation reaction (SOR) is explored to replace energy-intensive oxygen evolution reaction (OER), enabling the dramatically reduced energy consumption and the avoidance of corrosive chlorine species in electrocatalytic systems of NiFe layered double hydroxide (LDH)/FeNi2S4 grown on iron foam (IF) substrate. The resulting NiFe-LDH/FeNi2S4/IF with superwettable surfaces and favorable heterointerfaces can effectively catalyze SOR and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), which greatly reduces the operational voltage by 1.05 V at 50 mA cm-2 compared to pure seawater splitting and achieves impressively low electricity consumption of 2.33 kW h per cubic meter of H2 at 100 mA cm-2. Significantly, benefitting from the repulsive effect of surface sulfate anions to Cl-, the NiFe-LDH/FeNi2S4/IF exhibits outstanding long-term stability for SOR-coupled chlorine-free hydrogen production with sulfion upcycling into elemental sulfur. The present study uncovers the "killing two birds with one stone" effect of SOR for energy-efficient hydrogen generation and value-added elemental sulfur recovery in seawater electrolysis without detrimental chlorine chemistry.

Abstract
Binary superparticles formed by self-assembling two different types of nanoparticles may utilize the synergistic interactions and create advanced multifunctional materials. Bi-magnetic superparticles with a core-shell structure have unique properties due to their specific spatial configurations. Herein, we built Mn3O4@Ni core-shell binary superparticles via an emulsion self-assembly technique. The superparticles are generated with a spherical morphology, and have a typical average size of about 240 nm. By altering the ratio of the two magnetic nanoparticles, the thickness of Ni shells can be adjusted. Oleic acid ligands are crucial for the formation of core-shell structure. Magnetic analysis suggests that core-shell superparticles display dual-phase magnetic interactions, contrasting with the single-phase magnetic behaviors of commonly core-shell magnetic nanoparticles. The calculation on the effective magnetic anisotropy constants indicates that the presence of Ni shell layers reduces the dipole interactions among the Mn3O4 core particles. Due to the presence of Ni nanoparticle shells, the blocking temperature of Mn3O4 is reduced, while the Curie temperature of Mn3O4 is independent on Ni content. Tunable magnetic properties can be achieved by modulating the Ni nanoparticle shell thickness. This study offers insights for the development of core-shell superparticles with varied magnetic characteristics.

Abstract
The demands of human life and industrial activities result in a significant influx of toxic contaminants into aquatic ecosystems. In particular, organic pollutants such as antibiotics and dye molecules, bacteria, and heavy metal ions are represented, posing a severe risk to the health and continued existence of living organisms. The method of removing pollutants from water bodies by utilizing the principle of the piezoelectric effect in combination with chemical catalytic processes is superior to other wastewater purification technologies because it can collect water energy, mechanical energy, etc. to achieve cleanliness and high removal efficiency. Herein, we briefly introduced the piezoelectric mechanisms and then reviewed the latest advances in the design and synthesis of piezoelectric materials, followed by a summary of applications based on the principle of piezoelectric effect to degrade pollutants in water for wastewater purification. Moreover, water purification technologies incorporating the piezoelectric effect, including piezoelectric effect-assisted membrane filtration, activation of persulfate, and battery electrocatalysis are elaborated. Finally, future challenges and research directions for the piezoelectric effect are proposed.

However, their widespread implementation is impeded by challenges associated with zinc (Zn) dendrites and side reactions like the hydrogen evolution reaction on the anode. Theoretical calculations have confirmed that glycine (Gly) has the ability to coordinate with Zn2+, displacing H2O molecules in the solvation shell, thereby restoring the solvation structure of Zn2+ and promoting the release of reactive Zn2+ during plating/stripping processes. As a result, the incorporation of Gly into the anolyte of a neutral zinc-ferricyanide (Zn/Fe) flow battery (ZIFB) effectively inhibits the formation of Zn dendrites and impedes side reactions, leading to highly reversible and stable Zn plating/stripping reactions. A Zn||Zn symmetric flow battery utilizing Gly in the anolyte demonstrated extended cycling durability, lasting over 550 h at a current density of 30 mA cm-2, in contrast to the failure of a Gly-free anolyte system after 150 h. Notably, this approach facilitates a neutral ZIFB achieving an impressive energy efficiency exceeding 70 %, even at a high current density of 70 mA cm-2, with a cycle lifespan exceeding 800 h (33 days) at a current density of 30 mA cm-2. Conversely, the neutral ZIFB lacking Gly showed a significantly shorter cycle life of only 260 h under identical operational conditions (30 mA cm-2). Due to the economic benefits of Gly and the proposed user-friendly route, this strategy demonstrates great potential for promoting the widespread adoption of zinc-based flow batteries with improved performance for practical use.

[PMID: 38878380 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2024.06.106] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/23/2024] [Revised: 06/06/2024] [Accepted: 06/12/2024] [Indexed: 07/26/2024]
Abstract
Rational design of the morphology and heterojunction to accelerate the separation of electron-hole pairs has played an indispensable role in improving the photocatalytic hydrogen evolution. ZnIn2S4 (ZIS) has aroused considerable attention in solar-to-chemical energy conversion due to its remarkable photoelectrical properties and relatively negative energy band, whereas it still suffers from the severe photogenerated carrier recombination and catalyst aggregation. Herein, guided by density functional theory calculations, the constructed FeSe2@ZnIn2S4 (FS@ZIS) heterojunction model has a hydrogen Gibbs free energy closer to zero compared with pure ZIS and FS, which is beneficial for hydrogen adsorption and desorption on the photocatalyst surface. Therefore, a novel cross-like core-shell FS@ZIS Step-scheme (S-scheme) heterojunction was synthesized successfully by in-situ growing ZIS nanosheets on the surface of cross-like FS. The structure with cross-like core-shell morphology not only inhibits the agglomeration of ZIS to increase specific surface area, but also provides a tight interface with S-scheme heterojunction. Moreover, the S-scheme heterojunction with a tight interface can effectively separate electron-hole pairs, leaving photoinduced charges with higher potentials. Furthermore, FS@ZIS-20 possesses exceptional photothermal capabilities, enabling the conversion of optical energy from visible and near infrared light to heat, thereby further enhancing the photocatalysis reaction. As a result, the cross-like core-shell FS@ZIS S-scheme heterojunction exhibits an excellent photocatalytic hydrogen evolution rate (7.640 mmol g-1 h-1), which is 24 times higher than that of pure ZIS (0.319 mmol g-1 h-1) under visible and near infrared light. Furthermore, employing more in-depth density functional theory calculations further investigates the charge transfer pathway of the FS@ZIS S-scheme heterojunction. This work provides insights into the construction of S-scheme heterojunctions with core-shell structure and photothermal effect for photocatalytic evolution hydrogen.

Abstract
To clarify the key role of oxygen vacancy defects on enhancing the oxidative activity of the catalysts, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) derived MnOX catalysts with different morphologies and oxygen vacancy defects were successfully prepared using a facile in-situ self-assembly strategy with different alkali moderators. The obtained morphologies included three-dimensional (3D) triangular cone stacked MnOX hollow sphere (MnOX-H) and 3D nanoparticle stacked MnOX nanosphere (MnOX-N). Compared to MnOX-N, MnOX-H exhibited higher activity for the oxidation of toluene (T90 = 226 °C). This was mainly due to the large number of oxygen vacancy defects and Mn4+ species in the MnOX-H catalyst. In addition, the hollow structure of MnOX-H not only facilitated toluene adsorption and activation of toluene and also provided more active sites for toluene oxidation. Reaction mechanism studies showed that the conversion of toluene to benzoate could be realized over MnOX-H catalyst during toluene adsorption at room temperature. In addition, abundant oxygen vacancy defects can accelerate the activated oxidation of toluene and the formation of oxidation products during toluene oxidation.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is an emerging treatment but often restricted by the availability of oxygen. Enhancing the lifespan of singlet oxygen (1O2) by fractionated generation is an effective approach to improve the efficacy of PDT. Herein, an imine-based nanoscale COF (TpDa-COF) has been synthesized and functionalized with a pyridone-derived structure (Py) to create a 1O2-storing nanoplatform TpDa-COF@Py, which can reversibly capture and release 1O2. Under 660 nm laser exposure, Py interacts with 1O2 produced by the porphyrin motif in COF backbones to generate 1O2-enriched COF (TpDa-COF@Py + hv), followed by the release of 1O2 through retro-Diels-Alder reactions at physiological temperatures. The continuous producing and releasing of 1O2 upon laser exposure leads to an "afterglow" effect and a prolonged 1O2 lifespan. In vitro cytotoxicity assays demonstrates that TpDa-COF@Py + hv exhibits an extremely low half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) of 0.54 µg/mL on 4T1 cells. Remarkably, the Py-mediated TpDa-COF@Py nanoplatform demonstrates enhanced cell-killing capability under laser exposure, attributed to the sustained 1O2 cycling, compared to TpDa-COF alone. Further in vivo assessment highlights the potential of TpDa-COF@Py + hv as a promising strategy to enhance phototheronostics and achieve effective tumor regression. Accordingly, the study supplies a generalized 1O2 "afterglow" nanoplatform to improve the effectiveness of PDT.

Abstract
The highly dispersed ultrasmall palladium nanoparticles (Pd NPs) (1.7 nm) were successfully immobilized on a N-containing metal-organic framework (MOF, DUT-67-PZDC) using a co-reduction method, and it is used as an excellent catalyst for formic acid dehydrogenation (FAD). The optimized catalyst Pd/DUT-67-PZDC(10, 10 wt% Pd loading) shows 100% hydrogen (H2) selectivity and formic acid (FA) conversion at 60 °C, and the commendable initial turnover frequency (TOF) values of 2572 h-1 with the sodium formate (SF) as an additive and 1059 h-1 even without SF, which is better than most reported MOF supported Pd monometallic heterogeneous catalysts. The activation energy (Ea) of FAD is 43.2 KJ/mol, which is lower than most heterogeneous catalysts. In addition, the optimized catalyst Pd/DUT-67-PZDC(10) maintained good stability over five consecutive runs, demonstrating only minimal decline in catalytic activity. The outstanding catalytic performance could be ascribed to the synergistic corporations of the unique structure of DUT-67-PZDC carrier with hierarchical pore characteristic, the metal-support interaction (MSI) between the active Pd NPs and DUT-67-PZDC, the highly dispersed Pd NPs with ultrafine size serve as the catalytic active site, as well as the N sites on the support could act as the proton buffers. This work provides a new paradigm for the efficient H2 production of FAD by constructing highly active heterogeneous Pd-based catalysts using MOF supports.

Abstract
Applications of zinc-air batteries are partially limited by the slow kinetics of oxygen reduction reaction (ORR); Thus, developing effective strategies to address the compatibility issue between performance and stability is crucial, yet it remains a significant challenge. Here, we propose an in situ gas etching-thermal assembly strategy with an in situ-grown graphene-like shell that will favor Mn anchoring. Gas etching allows for the simultaneous creation of mesopore-dominated carbon cores and ultrathin carbon layer shells adorned entirely with highly dispersed Mn-N4 single-atom sites. This approach effectively resolves the compatibility issue between activity and stability in a single step. The unique core-shell structure allows for the full exposure of active sites and effectively prevents the agglomerations and dissolution of Mn-N4 sites in cores. The corresponding half-wave potential for ORR is up to 0.875 V (vs. reversible hydrogen electrode (RHE)) in 0.1 M KOH. The gained catalyst (Mn-N@Gra-L)-assembled zinc-air battery has a high peak power density (242 mW cm-2) and a durability of ∼ 115 h. Furthermore, replacing the zinc anode achieved a stable cyclic discharge platform of ∼ 20 h at varying current densities. Forming more fully exposed and stable existing Mn-N4 sites is a governing factor for improving the electrocatalytic ORR activity, significantly cycling durability, and reversibility of zinc-air batteries.

Abstract
Morphology and facet effects of metal oxides in heterogeneous catalytic ozonation (HCO) are attracting increasing interests. In this paper, the different HCO performances for degradation and mineralization of phenol of seven ceria (CeO2) catalysts, including four with different morphologies (nanorod, nanocube, nanooctahedron and nanopolyhedron) and three with the same nanorod morphology but different exposed facets, are comparatively studied. CeO2 nanorods with (110) and (100) facets exposed show the best performance, much better than that of single ozonation, while CeO2 nanocubes and nanooctahedra show performances close to single ozonation. The underlying reason for their different HCO performances is revealed using various experimental and density functional theory (DFT) calculation results and the possible catalytic reaction mechanism is proposed. The oxygen vacancy (OV) is found to be pivotal for the HCO performance of the different CeO2 catalysts regardless of their morphology or exposed facet. A linear correlation is discerned between the rate of catalytic decomposition of dissolved ozone (O3) and the density of Frenkel-type OV. DFT calculations and in-situ spectroscopic studies ascertain that the existence of OV can boost O3 activation on both the hydroxyl (OH) and Ce sites of CeO2. Conversely, various facets without OV exhibit similar O3 adsorption energies. The OH group plays an important role in activating O3 to produce hydroxyl radical (∙OH) for improved mineralization. This work may offer valuable insights for designing Facet- and OV-regulated catalysts in HCO for the abatement of refractory organic pollutants.

Abstract
The quest for efficient hydrogen production highlights the need for cost-effective and high-performance catalysts to enhance the electrochemical water-splitting process. A significant challenge in developing self-supporting catalysts lies in the high cost and complex modification of traditional substrates. In this study, we developed catalysts featuring superaerophobic microstructures engineered on microspherical nickel-coated Chinese rice paper (Ni-RP), chosen for its affordability and exceptional ductility. These catalysts, due to their microspherical morphology and textured surface, exhibited significant superaerophobic properties, substantially reducing bubble adhesion. The nickel oxy-hydroxide (NiOxHy) and phosphorus-doped nickel (PNi) catalysts on Ni-RP demonstrated effective roles in oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), achieving overpotentials of 250 mV at 20 mA cm-2 and 87 mV at -10 mA cm-2 in 1 M KOH, respectively. Moreover, a custom water-splitting cell using PNi/Ni-RP and NiOxHy/Ni-RP electrodes reached an impressive average voltage of 1.55 V at 10 mA cm-2, with stable performance over 100 h in 1 M KOH. Our findings present a cost-effective, sustainable, and easily modifiable substrate that utilizes superaerophobic structures to create efficient and durable catalysts for water splitting. This work serves as a compelling example of designing high-performance self-supporting catalysts for electrocatalytic applications.

Abstract
Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) have gained considerable interest as candidate photocatalysts for hydrogen evolution. In this work, we synthesized β-keto-enamine-based COFs (TpPa-X, TpDB, and TpDTP) to explore the relations between structures and photocatalytic hydrogen evolution. COFs were divided into two groups: (1) TpPa-X with different substituents attached to the TpPa backbone and (2) COFs featuring diamine linkers of varied lengths (TpDB and TpDTP). Experiments and density functional theory (DFT) calculations show that moderate hydrophobicity is favorable for the photocatalytic hydrogen evolution process, and acceptable contact angles are anticipated to range from 65° to 80°. Naturally, there are comprehensive factors that affect photocatalytic reactions, and the regulation of different backbones and substituents can considerably affect the performance of COFs for photocatalytic hydrogen evolution in terms of electronic structure, specific surface area, surface wettability, carrier separation efficiency, and hydrogen dissociation energy. Results show that TpPa-Cl2 (TpPa-X, X = Cl2) demonstrates the highest photocatalytic activity, approximately 14.51 mmol g-1h-1, with an apparent quantum efficiency of 4.62 % at 420 nm. This work provides guidance for designing efficient COF-based photocatalysts.

Abstract
Y2O3 is a cost-effective and environmentally friendly wide-band gap photocatalyst with extensive application potential. However, its limited ability to be excited by visible light restricts its practical uses. In this study, we coupled the narrow bandgap semiconductor AgI with Y2O3 to form a Z-scheme heterostructure, significantly promoting its photocatalytic degradation activity. Characterization and experimental results demonstrated the formation of Y-O-Ag bonds through coupling with AgI, leading to an increase in oxygen vacancies in Y2O3, which promotes the chemisorption of H2O and O2. The Y-O-Ag bond introduction promotes electron transfer, improves hole utilization, and boosts energy transfer efficiency, thus promoting the efficient generation of ·OH and 1O2. The photocatalytic degradation rates of RhB and o-nitrophenol by 7.5% AgI/Y2O3 were 26.5 and 4 times higher than those of pure Y2O3, respectively. This study provides theoretical support for the Z-scheme heterojunction to improve photocatalytic activity and offers efficient solutions and practical design ideas for sewage purification.

Abstract
In emergencies, uncontrolled severe bleeding can result in undesired complications and even death of the injured. Designing advanced hemostatic agents is a potential solution for emergency hemostasis, yet it remains challenging to realize the persistent adhesion in a wet wound environment. In this study, based on dynamic reversible Schiff base bond and photo-initiated double-bond polymerization, a novel injectable hemostatic hydrogel (L-COC) consisting of methacrylated carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCSMA), oxidized konjac glucomannan (OKGM) and (+)-catechin hydrate (CH) was synthesized for emergency hemostasis. To our delight, the incorporated CH imparted enhanced blood procoagulantion to the L-COC hydrogel by intensifying the hydrogel-red blood cell interactions. As a result, the hemostatic effect of the engineered L-COC hydrogel was significantly superior to that of fluid gelatin SurgifloTM for liver bleeding wounds in rats (Blood loss: 0.62 ± 0.11 g (L-COC), 0.90 ± 0.08 g (SurgifloTM); hemostasis time: 69.0 ± 2.9 s (L-COC), 84.0 ± 2.2 s (SurgifloTM)). With the favorable antioxidant and antibacterial activities, as well as multifunctional properties, the bio-adhesive L-COC hydrogel and the underlying design principles may facilitate further development of practical hemostatic hydrogels.

Abstract
Polymer-mediated cytosolic protein delivery demonstrates a promising strategy for the development of protein therapeutics. Here, we propose a new designed diblock copolymer which realizes efficient cytosolic protein delivery both in vitro and in vivo. The polymer contains one protein-binding block composed of phenylboronic acid (PBA) and N-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) (DMAP) pendant units for protein binding and endosomal escape, respectively, followed by the response to ATP enriched in the cytosol which triggers the protein release. The other block is PEG designed to improve particle size control and circulation in vivo. By optimizing the block composition, sequence and length of the copolymer, the optimal one (BP20) was identified with the binding block containing 20 units of both PBA and DMAP, randomly distributed along the chain. When mixed with proteins, the BP20 forms stable nanoparticles and mediates efficient cytosolic delivery of a wide range of proteins including enzymes, toxic proteins and CRISPR/Cas9 ribonucleoproteins (RNP), to various cell lines. The PEG block, especially when further modified with folic acid (FA), enables tumor-targeted delivery of Saporin in vivo, which significantly suppresses the tumor growth. Our results shall inspire the design of novel polymeric vehicles with robust capability for cytosolic protein delivery, which holds great potential for both biological research and therapeutic applications.

Abstract
Electrocatalysts with appropriate electron coupling toward LiO2 intermediates can exhibit superior oxygen reduction/evolution reaction kinetics in Li-O2 batteries (LOBs). In this work, a charge redistribution strategy has been developed by constructing NiS/MoS2 heterostructure nanosheet self-assembled hollow microspheres with an internal electric field to regulate the interaction with LiO2 and then improve the electrochemical performance of LOBs. Density functional theory calculations and physicochemical characterizations reveal that the difference of work functions between NiS and MoS2 promotes the electron redistribution in heterointerface via built-in electrical field, leading to increased electron density of interfacial Ni atom, thereby enhancing its electron coupling toward LiO2 intermediates and promoting one-electron oxygen reduction/oxidation reaction kinetics. As a result, the NiS/MoS2-based LOBs exhibit evidently higher discharge capacity and much better cycling performance than the batteries using NiS and MoS2. This work provides a reliable charge redistribution strategy induced by build-in electric field to design efficient catalysts for LOBs.

Abstract
At the interface between an ion-exchange membrane and a multi-electrolyte solution, charged species redistribute themselves to minimize the free energy of the system. In this paper, we explore the Donnan equilibrium of membranes with quaternary electrolyte (Na+/Mg2+/K+/Ca2+/Cl-) solutions, experimentally. The data was used to calculate the ion activity coefficients for six commercial cation-exchange membranes (CEMs). After setting one of the activity coefficients to an arbitrary value, we used the remaining (N-1) activity coefficients as fitting parameters to describe the equilibrium concentrations of (N) ionic species with a mean relative error of 3 %. At increasing solution ionic strengths, the equivalent ion fractions of monovalent counter-ions inside the membrane increased at the expense of the multivalent ones in alignment with the Donnan equilibrium theory. The fitted activity coefficients were employed in a transport model that simulated a Donnan dialysis experiment involving all four cations simultaneously. The arbitrary value assigned to one activity coefficient affects the calculated Donnan potential at the membrane interface. Nevertheless, this arbitrary value does not affect the prediction of the ion concentrations inside the membrane and consequently does not affect the modeled ion fluxes.

Abstract
It has been widely accepted that the generation of reactive oxygen species such as superoxide radical, hydroxyl radical, and hydrogen peroxide during photocatalysis is responsible for the degradation of azo dyes. However, it is unclear which reactive oxygen species primarily contributes to the degradation efficiency of azo dyes. Here, we demonstrate that the directional regulation of reactive oxygen species in titanium dioxide (TiO2) to form superoxide radicals by ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid disodium salt (EDTA-2Na) can significantly improve the degradation performance of methyl orange. The optimized addition of EDTA-2Na can completely degrade azo dyes such as methyl orange, acid orange and alkaline orange at a concentration of 10 mg/L in about 20 min, which is not only higher than that achieved by pristine TiO2 under Xe lamp light but also far superior to the reported degradation efficiency of modified TiO2. Even under natural sunlight, this strategy can also effectively decompose azo dyes, demonstrating the great potential for practical water treatment using low-cost TiO2 photocatalysts.

Abstract
Flexible electrodes based on conversion-type materials have potential applications in low-cost and high-performance flexible sodium-ion batteries (FSIBs), owing to their high theoretical capacity and appropriate sodiation potential. However, they suffer from flexible electrodes with poor mechanical properties and sluggish reaction kinetics. In this study, freestanding CoS2 nanoparticles coupled with graphene oxides and carbon nanotubes (CoS2/GO/CNTs) flexible films with robust and interconnected architectures were successfully synthesized. CoS2/GO/CNTs flexible film displays high electronic conductivity and superior mechanical properties (average tensile strength of 21.27 MPa and average toughness of 393.18 KJ m-3) owing to the defect bridge for electron transfer and the formation of the π-π interactions between CNTs and GO. In addition, the close contact between the CoS2 nanoparticles and carbon networks enabled by the Co-N chemical bond prevents the self-aggregation of the CoS2 nanoparticles. As a result, the CoS2/GO/CNTs flexible film delivered superior rate capability (213.5 mAh g-1 at 6 A g-1, better than most reported flexible anode) and long-term cycling stability. Moreover, the conversion reaction that occurred in the CoS2/GO/CNTs flexible film exhibited pseudocapacitive behavior. This study provides meaningful insights into the development of flexible electrodes with superior mechanical properties and electrochemical performance for energy storage.

Abstract
Lysozyme like 4 (LYZL4), lysozyme like 6 (LYZL6) and proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) are implicated in the regulation of testicular function, but there was no research reported available on the expression patterns of LYZL4, LYZL6 and PCNA genes at different developmental stages of yak testes. In this study, we used the qRT-PCR, western blotting and immunohistochemistry estimated the LYZL4, LYZL6 and PCNA gene expression and protein lo-calization at different developmental stages of yak testes. The qPCR results showed that the mRNA expression of LYZL4, LYZL6 and PCNA genes significantly increased with age in the testes of yaks. Western blot results showed that the protein abundance of LYZL4, LYZL6 and PCNA in yak testes was significantly higher after puberty than before puberty. Furthermore, the results of immunohistochemistry indicated that LYZL4, LYZL6 and PCNA may be involved in the regulation of spermatogonia proliferation and Leydig cell function in immature testis. In adult yak testes, LYZL4, LYZL6 and PCNA may involve in the development of round spermatids and primary spermatocytes during testicular development. Our results indicated that LYZL4, LYZL6 and PCNA may be involved in the development of Sertoli cells, Leydig cells and gonocytes in yak testes.

Abstract
Convenient, rapid, and accurate detection of nitroaromatic organic toxins and harmful substances is of great significance in research. In the present study, two-dimensional layered rare-earth hydroxides (LYH) were used as ion-exchange matrix materials, and the anionic fluorescent dye molecules (HPTS) were successfully introduced into the LYH structures in situ via a simple and effective "plug-and-play" strategy, which gave the compounds ultra-sensitive fluorescence sensing detection of nitrobenzene, p-nitrotoluene and p-nitrophenol (Fluorescence response time < 1 sec, and the LOD for nitrobenzene, p-nitrophenol and p-nitrotoluene reached an impressive 349 ppb, 22 ppb and 98 ppb, respectively). Combined with theoretical calculations, we elucidated in detail the fluorescence quenching response mechanism of the LYH-HPTS towards nitroaromatic. Additionally, we also constructed fluorescent paper sensor, which effectively transformed the LYH-HPTS from theoretical detection to device application. The LYH-HPTS material is not only simple to synthesize, cost-effective and stable, but also has the features of fast response, excellent sensitivity and selectivity, and good reproducibility, which provides a new approach for the rapid and accurate detection of nitroaromatic.

Construction of coherent interface between Cu 2O and CeO 2via electrochemical reconstruction for efficient carbon dioxide reduction to methane. J Colloid Interface Sci 2024; 673:60-69. [PMID: 38875798 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2024.05.212] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/22/2024] [Revised: 05/01/2024] [Accepted: 05/28/2024] [Indexed: 06/16/2024]
Abstract
Developing an efficient electrocatalyst that enables the efficient electrochemical conversion from CO2 to CH4 across a wide potential range remains a formidable challenge. Herein, we introduce a precatalyst strategy that realizes the in situ electrochemical reconstruction of ultrafine Cu2O nanodomains, intricately coupled on the CeO2 surface (Cu2O/CeO2), originating from the heterointerface comprised of ultrafine CuO nanodomains on the CeO2 surface (CuO/CeO2). When served as the electrocatalyst for the electrochemical CO2 reduction reaction, Cu2O/CeO2 delivers a selectivity higher than 49 % towards CH4 over a broad potential range from -1.2 V to -1.7 V vs. RHE, maintaining negligible activity decay for 20 h. Notably, the highest selectivity for CH4 reaches an impressive 70 % at -1.5 V vs. RHE. Through the combination of comprehensive analysis including synchrotron X-ray absorption spectroscopy, spherical aberration-corrected high-angle annular dark field scanning transmission electron microscope as well as the density functional theoretical calculation, the efficient production of CH4 is attributed to the coherent interface between Cu2O and CeO2, which could converted from the original CuO and CeO2 interface, ensuring abundant active sites and enhanced intrinsic activity and selectivity towards CH4.

Abstract
This work reports a carbon nitride with pyridinic nitrogen-vacancy (N2CV-CN), which purifies organic contaminants via an in-situ photo-self Fenton-like reaction. Experiments and calculations demonstrated that the nitrogen-vacancy induces lone-paired (LP) and symmetry-unpaired electrons, promoting the formation of low-energy LP-π hybridized orbitals and helping to overcome the pairing energy required for oxygen to accept electrons. Furthermore, the nitrogen-vacancy accelerates film and intra-particle diffusion rates of organic contaminants on N2CV-CN, creating beneficial conditions for reactive oxide species to mineralize organic contaminants. Under sunlight and atmospheric oxygen, a photo-self Fenton-like reaction involving proton-coupled electron transfer occurred on the surface of N2CV-CN. Furthermore, by integrating photocatalysis with flocculation, about 99.1 % suspended substance, 45.5 % chemical oxygen demand, and 38.4 % biological oxygen demand were reduced from polluted river-water. Constructing N2CV-CN and understanding its crucial role offer theoretical and methodological insights into the in-situ purification of contaminated water bodies.

[PMID: 38897060 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2024.06.077] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/16/2024] [Revised: 06/03/2024] [Accepted: 06/08/2024] [Indexed: 06/21/2024]
Abstract
Ti-based Metal-organic frameworks (Ti-MOF) have been extensively investigated for producing hydrogen via solar water splitting, while their intrinsic activities are still retarded by the poor performance of photocarriers separation and utilization. Herein, a donor-acceptor (D-A) supramolecular photocatalyst is successfully constructed via encapsulating fullerene (C60) into MIL-125-NH2 and meanwhile depositing individual Pt atoms as cocatalyst. The as-prepared C60@MIL-125-NH2-Pt exhibits remarkable activity in photocatalytic water splitting, with a H2 formation rate of 1180 μmol g-1 h-1, which is ∼ 12 times higher than that of the pristine MIL-125-NH2. Further investigations indicate that the host-guest interactions between C60 and MIL-125-NH2 strengthen the built-in electric field, which greatly facilitates the separation and migration of photogenerated charge carriers. In addition, the cocatalyst of individual Pt atoms not only further promotes the separation and transport of carriers but also enhances the contact between water and the catalyst. All of these factors directly contribute to the superior activity of C60@MIL-125-NH2-Pt. This work provides a new perspective for constructing D-A supramolecular photocatalysts for enhanced charge separation and making full use of photoelectrons to realize efficient hydrogen production.
