2- Line ferrihydrite (Fh) is widely used as a robust amendment for rapid arsenic removal or remediation in water or soil. However, the poorly crystalline phase of Fh is unstable and leads to arsenic leaching after long-term submergence in reductive aquatic and soil environments. In this study, the synthesized As(V)-bound Fh was characterized by various spectral approaches to investigate the factors that may affect the variation in As(V)-Fh in long-term continuously submerged soil suspensions. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) results showed that hematite was the main product and that goethite was the byproduct after 360 d of incubation. Approximately 12–17% and 4–5% Fh were transformed at As/Fe mole ratios of 0.005 and 0.05, respectively. After 360 d of incubation, the hematite morphology was clearly observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and the As(V)-Fh surface areas were also decreased by 17.3–27.6% and 11.9–16.6% for As/Fe mole ratios of 0.005 and 0.05, respectively. In a comparison of the two tested soils (soils sampled in Sichuan Province (SC) and Hunan Province (HN)), As(V)-Fh transformed faster in HN soil suspensions, and more hematite and goethite were formed. Furthermore, during the incubation period, As(V) was transformed to As(III), and both species were released into the suspension from the As(V)-Fh surface. It was suggested that soil pH and Fe(II) concentration were key factors controlling the As(V)-Fh transformation process, and the differences between the two soils were due to the different soil pH values and contents of available Fe. Arsenic release was mainly caused by Fh transformation and ligand competition with soil organic matter (SOM).

In the current study, corn steep liquor (CSL) is evaluated as an ideal raw agro-material for efficient lipid and docosahexaenoic acid DHA production byAurantiochytriumsp. Low CSL level in medium (nitrogen deficiency) stimulated the biosynthesis of lipids and DHA while inhibiting cellular growth. The transcriptomic profiles of theAurantiochytriumsp. cells are analyzed and compared when cultured under high (H group), normal (N group), and low (L group) levels of CSL in the medium. The discriminated transcriptomic profiles from the three groups indicates that changes in CSL level in medium result in a global change in transcriptome ofAurantiochytriumsp. The overall de novo assembly of cDNA sequence data generated 61,163 unigenes, and 18,129 of them were annotated in at least one database. A total of 5105 differently expressed (DE) genes were found in the N group versus the H group, with 2218 downregulated and 2887 upregulated. A total of 3625 DE genes were found in the N group versus the L group, with 1904 downregulated and 1721 upregulated. The analysis and categorization of the DE genes indicates that the regulation mechanism of CSL involved in the perception and transduction of the limited nitrogen signal, the interactions between the transcription factors (TFs) and multiple downstream genes, and the variations in downstream genes and metabolites, in sequence, are illuminated for the first time in the current study.Keywords:Aurantiochytriumsp.;nitrogen-deficiency;RNA-seq;corn steep liquor (CSL);signal transduction;DHA

Recently, the organic–inorganic hybrid perovskite solar cells exhibit rapidly rising efficiencies, while anomalous hysteresis in perovskite solar cells remains unsolvable. Herein, a high-quality perovskite thin film is prepared by a modified vapor-assisted solution process, which is a simple but well-controllable method proven to be capable of producing a thin film with full surface coverage and grain size up to micrometers. The as-fabricated perovskite solar cell has efficiency as high as 10.2%. The hysteresis effects of both planar and mesoscopic TiO2-based perovskite solar cells have been comprehensively studied upon illumination. The results demonstrate that mesoporous-based perovskite cells combined with remarkable grain size are subject to alleviating the hysteresis effects in comparison to the planar cells. Likewise, mesoscopic TiO2-based perovskite cells perform independently of illumination and bias conditions prior to the measurements, whereas the planar cells display a reversible behavior of illumination and applied bias-dependent I–V curves. The present study would refer strip road for the stability study of the perovskite solar cells.

CH₃NH₃PbI₃ (MAPbI₃) perovskites have demonstrated significant potential in optoelectronic devices. However, the stability and performance of these applications are critically influenced by electric fields and light soaking effect (LSE). The mechanisms by which these factors affect the photoluminescence (PL) and time-resolved photoluminescence (TRPL) characteristics of MAPbI₃ thin films are not yet fully understood. In this study, we constructed a symmetric lateral electrode structure (ITO/MAPbI₃/ITO) to systematically analyze the impact of varying electric field strengths and LSE wavelengths on the PL and TRPL characteristics of MAPbI₃ thin films. Our experimental results reveal that bias voltage significantly influences carrier recombination processes and transfer rates. Both forward and reverse bias voltages exhibit similar effects on the symmetric lateral electrode ITO/MAPbI 3 /ITO structure. As the bias voltage increases, the steady-state PL intensity of MAPbI 3 films decreases, and the TRPL decay time shortens. Additionally, our studies on different LSE indicate that higher photon energy has a more pronounced impact on the TRPL lifetime of MAPbI 3 films. This research elucidates the mechanisms by which electric fields and LSE affect the photophysical properties of MAPbI 3 perovskite films, providing new insights for optimizing the performance of these materials in optoelectronic devices.

High performance and high conductivity have always been important indicators for the application of hydrogels in the field of soft electronics. However, it is difficult for hydrogels to have both high conductivity and excellent mechanical properties. In this paper, a simple and feasible method is proposed, which allows polyvinyl alcohol to be embedded in the porous polyacrylamide chemical crosslinked network to form a structure of rich pores, and then soaked in salt solution to form a dense structure of hydrogels. In order to obtain good mechanical properties and electrical conductivity synchronously the hydrogel is soaked in KCl and NaCl solutions, respectively. However, different properties hydrogels are obtained after soaked in different salt solution, such as the strain of hydrogel after soaked in NaCl solution reached 750%, the conductivity of hydrogel after soaked in KCl solution is high (15.7 S m −1 ) and performed excellent conductivity even at low temperature (0 °C). In addition to the hydrogel after soaked in KCl solution showed 13.3 mF cm −2 high capacitance, the CV curve with regular shape and low temperature (0 °C) usage capacity when used as super capacitor. The conductive hydrogel can be used as artificial neural signal sensor, allowing produce artificial skin in medical field.

Anti-biofouling technology is based on specifically designed materials and coatings. This is an enduring goal in the maritime industries, such as shipping, offshore oil exploration, and aquaculture. Recently, research of the relationship between wettability and antifouling effectiveness has attracted considerable attention, due to the anti-biofouling properties of the lotus leaf and shark skin. In this study, super-hydrophobic surfaces (SHSs) with controllable periodic structures were fabricated on AISI304 stainless steel by a picosecond laser, and their anti-biofouling performance were investigated by seawater immersion for five weeks in summertime. The results showed that the specimens with SHS demonstrate significant anti-biofouling effect as compared with the bare stainless steel plate. We observed that nearly 50% decrease of the average microbe attachment area ratio (Avg. MAAR) could be obtained. The micro-groove SHS with more abundant hierarchical micro-nano structures showed better anti-biofouling performance than the micro-pit SHS.

In this paper, the open-circuit voltages (VOC) of Cu2ZnSn(S,Se)4 (CZTSSe) solar cells were improved by soaking the CZTSSe films in Cd/NH3 solutions before the deposition of buffer layers. The effects of Cd/NH3 soaking on the properties of CZTSSe films and solar cells were investigated in depth. We found Cd/NH3 soaking can promote downward band bending of the CZTSSe layer at the surface region. In addition, the Cd/NH3 soaking can eliminate the deep level acceptor in CZTSSe and decrease the density of the defects at the absorber/buffer interface. These effects can significantly reduce the carrier recombination in the depletion region of CZTSSe solar cells. As a result, the VOC of CZTSSe solar cells were increased from ∼460 mV to ∼480 mV, the efficiency of the best CZTSSe solar cell was increased from 10.2% to 11.6% by the Cd/NH3 soaking process.

The light-soaking (LS) effect has been reported to limit the accuracy and stability of device power output of perovskite solar cells (PSCs) and it is significant to develop effective approaches and strategies to eliminate the LS effect in PSCs. There are very few reports on suppressing the LS effect in CsPbI 2 Br-based all-inorganic PSCs. Herein, a method to eliminate the LS effect by synchronous passivation of anionic and cationic defects in CsPbI 2 Br perovskite film is demonstrated. The 4-(chlorosulfonyl)benzoic acid (CSBA) is added into perovskite precursor and the in situ generation of I 3 − effectively passivates the anionic halogen vacancy defects in CsPbI 2 Br. In the meantime, the Lewis base groups on CSBA coordinate with Cs + and Pb 2+ to passivate the cationic defects. This zwitterionic passivation effect of CSBA remarkably cuts off the path of defect-induced charge recombination and thus eliminates the LS effect. This work offers a deep opinion for future researchers to modulate the LS effect of all-inorganic PSCs.

Polyurethane has a microphase separation structure, while polyethylene glycol (PEG) can form a hydrated layer to resist protein adsorption. In this paper, PEG was introduced to polyurethane to improve the antifouling properties of the polyurethane, providing a new method and idea for the preparation of new antifouling polyurethane materials. The mechanical properties, hydrophilicity, swelling degree, microphase separation and antifouling performance of the coatings were evaluated. The response characteristics of the polyurethane coatings in a seawater environment were studied, and the performance changes of coatings in seawater were tested. The results showed that the crystallized PEG soft segments increased, promoting microphase separation. The stress at 100% and the elasticity modulus of the polyurethane material also markedly increased, in addition to increases in the swelling degree in seawater, the water contact angle decreased. A total of 25% of PEG incorporated into a soft segment can markedly improve the antibacterial properties of the coatings, but adding more PEG has little significant effect. After immersion in seawater, the coatings became softer and more elastic. This is because water molecules formed hydrogen bonding with the amino NH, which resulted in a weakening effect being exerted on the carbonyl C=O hydrogen bonding and ether oxygen group crystallization.Keywords:poly(ethylene glycol)-segmented polyurethane coating;seawater immersion;microstructure;properties

Mung bean sprouts are widely consumed as a seasonal fresh vegetable, renowned for their affordability and richness in antioxidants and bioactive compounds. This study employed ultra-high-performance liquid chromatogram-Q-Exactive HF mass spectrometry (UHPLC-QE-MS) and multivariate statistical analysis to comprehensively evaluate the chemical profile of mung bean sprouts following sulfite immersion. The findings revealed a significant alteration in the overall chemical composition of mung bean sprouts following sodium sulfite immersion. Eleven components, including four sulfur-containing compounds, were identified as characteristic markers distinguishing between non-immersed and sodium sulfite-immersed mung bean sprouts. Esterification and addition reactions were inferred to occur during sodium sulfite immersion, leading to the transformation of flavonoid and saponin sulfates. Commercial samples analysis indicated that sulfur-containing compounds were detectable in 9 of 11 commercial mung bean sprouts. Meanwhile, when sodium sulfite concentration exceeded 3.00 mg/mL and immersion time exceeded 360 min, the contents of total polyphenol and flavonoid were significantly reduced and the antioxidant activity was adversely influenced.

The post-treatment based on spin-coating (SC) organic amine salts is commonly used for surface modification of perovskite films to eliminate defects. However, there is still a lack of systematic study and a unified understanding of the functions and mechanisms of different organic amine salts. The SC method is also not conducive to the industrialization of solar cells. In this work, we study three different organic amine salts, and a passivation strategy for perovskite films based on green anisole liquid soaking (ALS) has been developed. Phenylethylammonium iodide (PEAI), diethylamine hydroiodide (DEAI), and guanidine hydroiodide (GAI) organic amine salt passivators are selected to modify perovskite films, and their effect and working mechanism are also systematically estimated. It is found that PEAI passivates shallow-level defects on the surface of perovskite films, while DEAI incorporates into the perovskite lattice to suppress point defects, and GAI eliminates excess PbI2 residuals in perovskite films. These three organic-amine-salt-modified devices achieve enhanced power conversion efficiencies (PCE) of 21.82% (PEAI-ALS), 21.74% (DEAI-ALS), and 22.21% (GAI-ALS), which is much higher than that of the pristine device without treatment (19.95%). The PCE of the PEAI-ALS device retains nearly 94% of the initial efficiency after 1200 h in unpackaged conditions and about 40% ambient humidity, achieving the best stability performance. Particularly, the PEAI-ALS device has the best comprehensive performance in efficiency and stability. And PEAI is estimated by the SC method and ALS method, and it is found that the PEAI-ALS device achieves a higher PCE compared to the PEAI-SC device (21.51%). We believe that the post-treatment based on a combination of appropriate amine salts and ALS enables a universal approach for fabrication of perovskite solar cells with enhanced photovoltaic performance.

In semiconductor radiation detectors, leakage current is a major noise source affecting energy resolution and sensitivity. The surface passivation technology can reduce this leakage current and hence significantly enhance detector performance. Here, we demonstrate a facile way to passivate the surface of the nuclear detectors based on Methylammonium Lead Iodide (MAPbI \(_3\) ) single crystals using soaking treatment in ethanol. A dense passivation layer of PbI \(_2\) was formed on the crystal surface, significantly reducing the surface leakage current by an order of magnitude under the same voltage. The energy resolution of the MAPbI \(_3\) -based detector is therefore improved by nearly 10% for the detection of 59.5 KeV irradiated from \(^{241}\) Am. Therefore, the PbI \(_2\) passivation by ethanol-soaking treatment is proved to be an effective method to reduce leakage current and improve detection performance.
