A Universal Approach Toward Intrinsically Flexible All-Inorganic Perovskite-Gel Composites with Full-Color Luminescence. RESEARCH (WASHINGTON, D.C.) 2024; 7:0412. [PMID: 38979517 PMCID: PMC11227898 DOI: 10.34133/research.0412] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/12/2024] [Accepted: 05/27/2024] [Indexed: 07/10/2024]
Abstract
The combination of all-inorganic perovskites (PVSKs) and polymers allows for free-standing flexible optoelectronic devices. However, solubility difference of the PVSK precursors and concerns over the compatibility between polymer carriers and PVSKs imply a great challenge to incorporate different kinds of PVSKs into polymer matrices by the same manufacturing process. In this work, PVSK precursors are introduced into poly(2-hydroxyethyl acrylate) (PHEA) hydrogels in sequence, in which the PVSK-gel composites are achieved with full-color emissions by simply varying the precursor species. Moreover, it is found that CsBr has a higher interaction energy with the (111) plane of CsPbBr3 than the (110) plane; thus, the CsPbBr3 crystals with a shape of truncated cube and tetragon are observed during the CsPbBr3-Cs4PbBr6 phase transition over time. The PVSK-gel composites feature excellent bendability, elasticity, and stretchable deformation (tensile strain > 500%), which allows for 3D printing emissive customized stereoscopic architectures with shape-memory features.

CHEMOSPHERE 2024; 358:142193. [PMID: 38697562 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2024.142193] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/03/2023] [Revised: 04/10/2024] [Accepted: 04/27/2024] [Indexed: 05/05/2024]
Abstract
Biochar has been utilized to reduce ciprofloxacin (CIP) residues in soil. However, little is known about the effect of biochar-derived dissolved organic matter (DOM) on residual CIP transformation. Thus, we analyzed the residual soil CIP as influenced by biochar generated from rice straw (RS3 and RS6), pig manure (PM3 and PM6), and cockroach shell (CS3 and CS6) at 300 °C and 600 °C. The three-dimensional excitation-emission matrix (3D-EEM), parallel factor analysis (PARAFAC) and two-dimensional correlation spectral analysis (2D-COS) were used to describe the potential variation in the DOM-CIP interaction. Compared with CK, biochar amendment increased the water-soluble CIP content by 160.7% (RS3), 55.2% (RS6), 534.1% (PM3), 277.5% (PM6), 1160.6% (CS3) and 703.9% (CS6), indicating that the biochar feedstock controlled the soil CIP release. The content of water-soluble CIP was positively correlated with the content of dissolved organic carbon (r = 0.922, p < 0.01) and dissolved organic nitrogen (r = 0.898, p < 0.01), suggesting that the major influence of the water-soluble CIP increase was DOM. The fluorescence quenching experiment showed that the interaction between DOM and CIP triggered static quenching and the creation of a DOM complex. The mean log K of protein-like material (4.977) was higher than that of terrestrial humus-like material (3.491), suggesting that the protein-like material complexed CIP was more stable than the humus-like material. Compared with pyrolysis at 300 °C, pyrolysis at 600 °C decreased the stability of the complex of protein-like material and CIP by 0.44 (RS), 1.689 (PM) and 0.548 (CS). This result suggested that the influence of temperature change was more profound on PM biochar-derived DOM than on RS and CS. These insights are essential for understanding CIP transportation in soil and controlling CIP contamination with biochar.

Abstract
The practical application of lithium-oxygen batteries (LOBs) with ultrahigh theoretical energy density faces the problems of poor kinetics and deficient reversibility. The electrolyte is of vital significance to the electrochemical stability and reaction pathway of LOBs due to the formation of soluble products. Here, a 15-crown-5 ether (15C5) is employed to regulate the solvation structure of Li+ and manipulate the reaction mechanism through regulating the binding ability toward Li+. The promoted dissociation of LiNO3 by 15C5 increases the catalytical active anions in the electrolyte and stabilizes the Li-containing reduced oxygen species to promote the solution pathway of discharge product growth. Besides, 15C5 also facilitates the kinetics of the electrochemical decomposition of Li2O2 and prolongs the cycle life to 178 cycles. This work inspires a novel approach to improve the battery performance through electrolyte component design.

Abstract
Numerous organic electrolytes additives have been reported to improve Zn anode performance in aqueous Zn metal batteries (AZMBs). However, the modification mechanism needs to be further revealed in consideration of different environments for electrolytes and electrodes during the charge-discharge process. Herein, sulfur-containing zwitter-molecule (methionine, Met) is used as an additive for ZnSO4 electrolytes. In electrolytes, Met reduces the H2O coordination number and facilitates the desolvation process by virtue of functional groups (─COOH, ─NH2, C─S─C), accelerating Zn2+ transference kinetics and decreasing the amount of active water. On electrodes, Met prefers to adsorb on Zn (002) plane and further transforms into a zincophilic protective layer containing C─SOx─C through an in situ electrochemical oxidization, suppressing H2 evolution/corrosion reactions and guiding dendrite-free Zn deposition. By using Met-containing ZnSO4 electrolytes, the Zn//Zn cells show superior cycling performance under 30 mA cm-2/30 mA h cm-2. Moreover, the full cells Zn//NH4V4O10 full cells using the modified electrolytes exhibit good performance at temperatures from -8 to 60 °C. Notably, a high energy density of 105.30 W h kg-1 can be delivered using a low N/P ratio of 1.2, showing a promising prospect of Met electrolytes additives for practical use.

Abstract
In the adsorption process, the surface area, pore and particle size distribution and the chemical structure of the solid and the type of adsorbent are of vital importance. Activated carbon (AC) is a very good adsorbent material and its cost is highly dependent on the starting material and production method. The pore size and functional structure of the surface depend on the amount of activation chemical used. Hierarchical ACs were produced from lignite by loading two different amounts of KOH. The impregnation ratio (KOH/lignite) was chosen as 1/1 and 3/1 and the produced ACs were labelled as AC1 and AC3. The surface areas of AC1 and AC3 were determined as 1321.3 and 2421.3 m2/g, and the total pore volumes were 1.079 and 1.425 cm3/g. Methylene blue (MB) and p-nitrophenol (p-NP) were used to determine the adsorption performance of the produced ACs. The adsorption data were evaluated in terms of the Langmuir and Freundlich models. The amounts of MB and p-NP adsorbed on the surface were calculated in mg/g, total and accessible surface area in mg/m2. It was determined that the MB and p-NP adsorbed to the AC1 sample were higher than the AC3 sample per m2 of population. Molecular orientation is possible depending on the solid surface functionality and chemical structure of the molecule to be adsorbed. It was concluded that in addition to the large surface area, the pore width that can be entered and the functional structure of the surface are very significant factors in the adsorption processes.

Abstract
Pulp-Dentin regeneration is a key aspect of maintain tooth vitality and enabling good oral-systemic health. This study aimed to investigate a nanofibrous scaffold loaded with a small molecule i.e. Tideglusib to promote odontogenic differentiation. Tideglusib (GSK-3β inhibitor) interaction with GSK-3β was determined using molecular docking and stabilization of β-catenin was examined by confocal microscopy. 3D nanofibrous scaffolds were fabricated through electrospinning and their physicochemical characterizations were performed. Scaffolds were seeded with mesenchymal stem cells or pre-odontoblast cells to determine the cells proliferation and odontogenic differentiation. Our results showed that Tideglusib (TG) binds with GSK-3β at Cys199 residue. Stabilization and nuclear translocation of β-catenin was increased in the odontoblast cells treated with TG. SEM analysis revealed that nanofibers exhibited controlled architectural features that effectively mimicked the natural ECM. UV-Vis spectroscopy demonstrated that TG was incorporated successfully and released in a controlled manner. Both kinds of biomimetic nanofibrous matrices (PCLF-TG100, PCLF-TG1000) significantly stimulated cells proliferation. Furthermore, these scaffolds significantly induced dentinogenic markers (ALP, and DSPP) expression and biomineralization. In contrast to current pulp capping material driving dentin repair, the sophisticated, polymeric scaffold systems with soluble and insoluble spatiotemporal cues described here can direct stem cell differentiation and dentin regeneration. Hence, bioactive small molecule-incorporated nanofibrous scaffold suggests an innovative clinical tool for dentin tissue engineering.

Abstract
Frequently used aqueous electrolytes in MXene-based Zn-ion hybrid microsupercapacitors (MSCs) limit their cycling and rate stability. The use of metal and nonmetal additives in electrolytes for the performance improvement of Zn-ion MSCs is considered a valid method. Herein, we propose an additive assisted Zn(CF3SO3)2 electrolyte as a redox-active electrolyte to prepare a flexible MXene-based Zn-ion hybrid MSC by a facile spraying method, and it consists of a conductive Ti3C2Tx-LiCl current collector and a Ti3C2Tx-DMSO cathode. In the process of the current density change (from 5 A cm-3 to 30 A cm-3 and then to 5 A cm-3), the capacity retention of the as-fabricated MSC with K3Co(CN)6 additive is over 99.0%, which is higher than 96.7% for the MSC with CKNSe additive and 82.3% for the MSC without an additive. Moreover, the designed MSC with the redox-active K3Co(CN)6 electrolyte exhibits a maximal capacitance retention of 70% after 5000 cycles. Furthermore, the flexible Zn-ion MSC with the Ti3C2Tx MXene cathode and a redox-active electrolyte was used to power a Ti3C2Tx based pressure sensor; the excellent press response of the integrated system not only provides insights into the development of large capacity and long-period stable energy storage devices, but also paves a new way for the development of capacitor-sensor integrated systems.

Abstract
Desertification, one of the world's most pressing serious environmental problems, poses a serious threat to human survival as well as to social, economic, and political development. Nevertheless, the development of environmentally friendly sand-fixing materials is still a tremendous challenge for preventing desertification. This study developed a bio-based attapulgite copolymer (BAC) by grafting copolymerization of attapulgite, starch, sulfomethyl lignin, and biological mycelia. Water retention, anti-water erosion, and anti-wind erosion tests were conducted to assess the application performance of the BAC. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was then employed to determine the morphology of the attapulgite and attapulgite graft copolymer sand-fixing material (CSF). The intermolecular interactions in CSF were revealed using Fourier transform infrared spectrum (FT-IR). The role of sand-fixing materials on soil physicochemical properties and seed germination was then discussed based on the germination rate experiments, and 16S rDNA sequencing technology was used to analyze the differences in microbial communities in each sample group. The results demonstrated that the BAC not only has superior application properties and significantly increased seed germination (95%), but also promotes soil development by regulating the structure of the soil microbial community. This work provides novel insights into the design of sand-fixing material for preventing desertification while improving soil fertility.

Abstract
Despite the boom in the water-triggered electric power generation technologies, few attempts have been made with a broader horizonyielding the electricity from sweat, which is of great value for low-power-consumption wearable electronics. Here, an electromechanical coupling and humidity-actuated two-in-one humidity actuator-driven piezoelectric generator (HAPG) are reported, that can yield continuous electric power from fluctuations in the ambient humidity. It is composed of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)-wrapped highly aligned dopamine (DA)/polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) shell/core nanofibers (PVA@DA/PVDF NFs). As-received PVA@DA/PVDF NFs can exchange water with the ambient humidity to perform expansion and contraction and convert them into electric power. An all-fiber-based portable HAPG is fabricated and tested on human palm skin. The devices show high sensitivity and accuracy for converting the mental sweating-derived continuous moisture fluctuations into electric power. This electric power can be stored in capacitors, which is expected to power micro- and nano-electronic devices or be used in electrotherapy such as electrical stimulation to promote wound healing. Beyond this, the obtained voltage profiles exhibit unique features that can reflect the typical sweat damping oscillation curve features.

Abstract
The use of insensitive munitions such as 3-nitro-1,2,4-triazol-5-one (NTO) is rapidly increasing and is expected to replace conventional munitions in the near future. Various NTO treatment technologies are being developed for the treatment of wastewater from industrial munition facilities. This is the first study to explore the potential phytoremediation of industrial NTO-wastewater using vetiver grass (Chrysopogon zizanioides L.). Here, we present evidence that vetiver can effectively remove NTO from wastewater, and also translocated NTO from root to shoot. NTO was phytotoxic and resulted in a loss of plant biomass and chlorophyll. The metabolomic analysis showed significant differences between treated and control samples, with the upregulation of specific pathways such as glycerophosphate metabolism and amino acid metabolism, providing a glimpse into the stress alleviation strategy of vetiver. One of the mechanisms of NTO stress reduction was the excretion of solid crystals. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS), and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis confirmed the presence of NTO crystals in the plant exudates. Further characterization of the exudates is in progress to ascertain the purity of these crystals, and if vetiver could be used for phytomining NTO from industrial wastewater.

Abstract
With the availability of easy-to-use commercial instrumentation for infrared (IR) and Raman spectroscopy, the number of users is growing very fast. Even in labs in which no personnel with experience in spectroscopy is around, spectra can be recorded and analyzed. However, for an inexperienced person it is virtually impossible to check whether a spectrum is plausible. In this Note, it is demonstrated that even comparing an experimental spectrum with data from a database may lead to significant errors. The vibrational spectrum of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) is presented as an example.

Abstract
Blue-shifting H-bonded (C-D···O) complexes between CDCl3 and CH3HCO, (CH3)2CO, and C2H5(CH3)CO, and red-shifting H-bonded (C-D···S) complexes between CDCl3 with (CH3)2S and (C2H5)2S have been identified by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy in the gas phase at room temperature. With increasing partial pressure of the components, a new band appears in the C-D stretching region of the vibrational spectra. The intensity of this band decreases with an increase in temperature at constant pressure, which provides the basis for identification of the H-bonded bands in the spectrum. The C-D stretching frequency of CDCl3 is blue-shifted by +7.1, +4, and +3.2 cm-1 upon complexation with CH3HCO, (CH3)2CO, and C2H5(CH3)CO, respectively, and red-shifted by -14 and -19.2 cm-1 upon complexation with (CH3)2S and (C2H5)2S, respectively. By using quantum chemical calculations at the MP2/6-311++G** level, we predict the geometry, electronic structural parameters, binding energy, and spectral shift of H-bonded complexes between CDCl3 and two series of compounds named RCOR' (H2CO, CH3HCO, (CH3)2CO, and C2H5(CH3)CO) and RSR' (H2S, CH3HS, (CH3)2S, and (C2H5)2S) series. The calculated and observed spectral shifts follow the same trends. With an increase in basicity of the H-bond acceptor, the C-D bond length increases, force constant decreases, and the frequency shifts to the red from the blue. The potential energy scans of the above complexes are done, which show that electrostatic attraction between electropositive D and electron-rich O/S causes bond elongation and red shift, and the electronic and nuclear repulsions lead to bond contraction and blue shifts. The dominance of the two opposing forces at the equilibrium geometry of the complex determines the nature of the shift, which changes both in magnitude and in direction with the basicity of the hydrogen-bond acceptor.

Abstract
The anaerobic conversion of sewage sludge to methane-rich biogas is an important bioenergy strategy that has been hindered by low conversion efficiency. The poorly understood mechanism of the influence of the key structural component in sludge is responsible for this. The influence of organic-binding metals (OBM), which account for a substantial proportion of metals in sludge, on biogas conversion of both sewage sludge and model sludge were explored in this study. It is observed that the net cumulative methane production of sludge decreased by 23% with the increase of OBM content, implying the crucial role of the OBM in anaerobic sludge digestion. Experimental results showed that the apparent activation energy of sludge organic solubilisation and the median particle size of sludge particulates increased with increasing OBM content, whereas the surface binding sites for enzymes decreased, indicating that the stability of the sludge floc was reinforced by the effect of OBM. Further analyses of the sludge structure revealed that a high OBM content (>2.5% total solids in the present study) compacted the sludge organic matter, restricted the molecular mobility and deteriorated the depolymerisation of the biopolymers by bridging and hydrogen-bonding interactions. This suggests that as a result of the effect of OBM, the hydrolysis and acidification of sludge particulate could be inhibited, resulting in poor biogas conversion. Moreover, it was further authenticated by the results from biochemical methane potential assay process. These findings can deepen the understanding of the role of OBM in sludge for biogas conversion and are important for the improvement of anaerobic sludge digestion.
