Electroreduction of CO2 to value-added low-carbon chemicals is a promising way for carbon neutrality and CO2 utilization. It was found that the diiron complex [(μ-bdt)Fe2(CO)6] (bdt = benzene-1,2-dithiolate) has high catalytic activity for electrocatalytic CO2 reduction. To further study the effect of the S-to-S bridge on the catalytic performances of diiron complexes for electrochemical CO2 reduction, four diiron complexes 1–4 with different rigid and conjugated S-to-S bridges were either selected or designed. The electrocatalytic studies showed that under optimal conditions, 2 with a 2,3-naphthalenedithiolato bridge exhibited the lowest catalytic onset potential (Eonset = −1.75 V vs Fc+/0), while 4 with a diphenyl-1,2-vinylidene bridge displayed the highest catalytic activity (TOFmax = 295 s–1), which is 1.5 times that of [(μ-bdt)Fe2(CO)6]. The controlled potential electrolysis experiments of 4 in 0.1 M MeOH/MeCN at −2.35 V vs Fc+/0 gave a total faradaic yield close to 100%, with selectivities of 77%, 9%, and 14% for HCOOH, CO, and H2, respectively. The mechanism for CO2 reduction was studied using density functional theory, IR spectroelectrochemistry, and electrochemical methods. The results indicate that modifying the structure of the S-to-S bridge is an effective strategy to improve the catalytic performance of diiron complexes for electrocatalytic CO2 reduction.

Photocleavable hydrogels are of great importance in the field of controlled drug delivery, stem cell fate regulation, surface patterning, and intelligent devices. However, the development of novel photocleavable gel systems by visible light is usually met with challenges such as the lack of efficient and tunable photocleavable groups and reactions. Herein, we reported the facile fabrication of a new type of photocleavable hydrogels by the direct gelation of 4-arm thiol-terminated polyethylene glycol with 3,6-dichloro-1,2,4,5-tetrazine via the formation of S,S-tetrazine linkages. The prepared hydrogels underwent efficient degradation upon irradiation by ultraviolet or green light, and the degradation kinetics could be significantly promoted by hydrogen peroxide. Correspondingly, the hydrogels loaded with calcium peroxide microparticles or glucose oxidase/catalase enzymes enabled the precise and efficient in vivo photocontrol of gel degradation and drug release for cancer treatment. This work offers a promising and facile strategy towards the fabrication of visible light cleavable hydrogels with tunable and on-demand drug release properties.

Solar-driven hydrogen production is significant for achieving carbon neutrality but is limited by unsatisfactory surface catalytic reaction kinetics. Layer regulation can impact carrier transmission or catalytic behavior, but the specific effects on the oxygen or hydrogen evolution reaction (OER or HER) remain unclear, and atomic layer level modulation for maxing HER is challenging. Here the distinct roles of modulated Zn–S or In–S surface layers in ZnIn 2 S 4 (ZIS) for the OER and HER, respectively, are disentangled. Moreover, the extensive characterizations and computational results demonstrate that stressful environments enable individual modulation and introduce Ni into the surface In–S layer rather than the easily alterable Zn–S layer, creating deeper hybridized electronic states of Ni 3 d –S 3 p , optimizing H * adsorption/desorption, and maximizing surface catalytic benefits for the HER. Consequently, the optimized ZIS exhibited a photocatalytic hydrogen production rate of up to 18.19 mmol g −1 h −1 , ≈32 times higher than pristine ZIS. This investigation expands the application scenarios of ultrasonic technology and inspires other precise control types, such as defects and crystal plane engineering, etc.

The direction of Se-Mo-Se sheets to the Mo film is crucial for the thickness of Mo(S,Se) 2 and the electrical conductivity , so as the back contact of Cu 2 ZnSn(S,Se) 4 solar cells. In this study, the preferred orientation of Mo(S,Se) 2 film changes from (100) peak to (103) peak, i.e. from perpendicular to the substrate to tilted to the substrate for Se-Mo-Se sheets as the roughness decrease of Mo back contact layer. The Se vapor can easily diffuse through the channels between Se-Mo-Se sheets when the formed Mo(S,Se) 2 layer is (100) peak preferred with Se-Mo-Se sheets perpendicular to the substrate, and thus excessively thick Mo(S,Se) 2 will be formed. Whereas, the Se-Mo-Se sheets are tilted to substrate when the preferred orientation of Mo(S,Se) 2 is (103) peak. The tilted Se-Mo-Se sheets can act as a natural Se diffusion barrier to suppress the Se vapor diffusion through the already formed Mo(S,Se) 2 layer to further selenize the remaining Mo film, and also can provide a good electrical conductivity. As a result, the thickness of Mo(S,Se) 2 sharply decreased from 1500 nm to 200 nm with the surface morphology change of Mo back contact, which resulting in the decrease of series resistance of Cu 2 ZnSn(S,Se) 4 solar cells from 2.94 Ω cm 2 to 0.49 Ω cm 2 , and the increase of conversion efficiency of Cu 2 ZnSn(S,Se) 4 solar cells from 6.98% to 9.04%.

Environment and energy are presently some of the highest priority topics for mankind that need to be addressed. Organic pollutants are toxic and carcinogenic for human and aquatic life hence their presence in water even in low concentrations can cause serious health problems. Photodegradation of organic pollutants by utilizing oxide-based heterostructure photocatalysts is the promising approach to carry out remediation efficiently ascribed to the advanced optoelectronic and structural superiority of oxide photocatalysts. The Zn(O,S)/Mo(O,S) 2 composites were synthesized via a facile solvothermal method at low temperatures. Several methods were used to characterize the composite morphology, structure, electrical conductivity, chemical composition, and optical characteristics. The heterostructured Zn(O,S)/Mo(O,S) 2 oxysulfide was employed successfully in the photocatalytic degradation of organic pollutants. Among the as-prepared samples, the 30-ZnMoOS composite catalyst was found to have the highest photodegradation performance on various organic dye pollutants. The photocatalytic activity of the as-synthesized Zn(O,S)/Mo(O,S) 2 samples was assessed on the photodegradation of different kinds of organic dyes under visible light irradiation. The photocatalytic degradation efficiency of 30-ZnMoOS composite over 10 ppm neutral red (NR), methylene blue (MB), rhodamine B (Rh B), and methyl orange (MO) was found to be 99.6 %, 99.9 %, 99.5 %, and 98.8 % within 40, 45, 180, and 180 min, respectively, under visible light illumination. In the present photocatalytic system, the superoxide ( . O 2 - ) anions, hydroxyl ( . OH) radicals, and holes (h + ) are proposed to be the direct reactive species causing the photodegradation of organic dyes.

Two novel water-soluble π-conjugated small molecules based on dibenzothiophene-S,S-dioxide and bispyridinium salts, named FSOPyCl and FSOmiCl, were successfully synthesized. Both molecules showed deep blue light emission, with photoluminescence peaks at about 408 and 405 nm in aqueous solution, respectively. Their photoluminescence quantum yields (PLQYs) in aqueous solution were as high as 68.9% and 50.3%, respectively. Electrochemical measurements suggested that they have excellent electron affinity, with lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) energy levels at −3.78 and −3.94 eV, respectively. Due to their unique properties including large planarity, good thermal stability, excellent electron affinity and high fluorescence efficiency, FSOPyCl and FSOmiCl may be promising construction units for preparing water/alcohol-soluble conjugated materials with good optoelectronic performance.

A novel n-type cationic conjugated polymer ( PFSOmiCl ), consisting of bispyrimidinium-dibenzothiophene- S , S -dioxide and fluorene scaffolds, was developed from its polymeric precursor ( PFSOmi ) through an intramolecular cyclization reaction . In comparison with PFSOmi , PFSOmiCl exhibits significant bathochromical absorption and photoluminescence spectra in both solution and film form, as well as a more hydrophilic film surface. Cyclic voltammetry tests demonstrate that PFSOmiCl possesses a deep lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) energy level of −4.18 eV, which is comparable to the LUMO energy levels of common fullerene derivatives. These unique properties endow PFSOmiCl with great utilization potential in organic optoelectronic devices. Moreover, this research offers a novel guideline for designing new conjugated polyelectrolytes .

Purpose It is crucial for forensic analysis to differentiate clinical use from illegal abuse. Selegiline (SG) is mainly metabolized to desmethylselegiline (DM-SG), R -(−)-methamphetamine (R-MA) and R-(−)amphetamine (R-AM); while abused methamphetamine and amphetamine mainly contain the S -(+)-form. The aim of this study was to simultaneously determine SG, DM-SG, R / S -MA, and R / S -AM in human oral fluid (OF) and to differentiate clinical use from illegal use. We also aim to apply the present method to the OF samples from authentic cases in forensic toxicology. Methods Liquid–liquid extraction and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry operating in positive ion multiple-reaction monitoring mode were utilized. The chromatographic system consisted of a Chirobiotic TM V2 column (2.1 mm × 250 mm, 5 μm) and a mobile phase of methanol containing 0.1% (v/v) glacial acetic acid and 0.02% (v/v) ammonium hydroxide. Results and conclusions The calibration curves were linear from 1 to 100 ng/mL, and r > 0.995 for all analytes with imprecisions ≤ 15% and accuracy between 85 and 115%. Extraction recoveries ranged from 46.3 to 104.7% with coefficient of variation (CV) ≤ 10.3% and matrix effects (MEs) ranged from 47.4 to 114.8% with CV ≤ 12.9%. The lower limit of quantification was 0.2 ng/mL for SG and DM-SG and 1.0 ng/mL for S-MA, R-MA, S-AM and R-AM. The present method is simple, rapid (accomplished in 12 min), sensitive, and validated by authentic samples.

Heterojunction construction with low band gap materials is an effective way of utilizing UV light active materials under visible light irradiation. Here, we report the synthesis of Bi 2 (O,S) 3 /Zn(O,S) heterostructure using simple solvothermal method without surfactant. The catalysts were investigated with different characterization techniques. All the composite catalysts showed high light absorption capacity in the whole visible light spectrum. The catalytic activity of the catalysts was evaluated by Cr(VI) reduction. While pure Zn(O,S) catalyst showed no significant Cr(VI) reduction, higher photocatalytic activity than individual components were exhibited after heterojunction construction with Bi 2 (O,S) 3 . 20-BiZnOS catalyst with Bi/Zn molar percentage of 20% showed the best photocatalytic activity among the composites with 99.5% Cr(VI) reduction within 12 min under visible light irradiation. Heterojunction formation between Bi 2 (O,S) 3 and Zn(O,S) nanoparticle, and selective adsorption of Cr(VI) and desorption of Cr(III) on the surface of 20-BiZnOS composite catalyst were ascribed to the enhanced photocatalytic activity of the composite catalyst.

Wastewater treatment becomes an important part to improve environmental quality and protect water resources. Thus, developing a new photocatalyst is a key solution for environmental issues. Herein, universal, highly efficient, and novel Bi 2 (O,S) 3 /Mo(O,S) 2 nanocomposite photocatalyst was fabricated by a facile method and the crystal structure, morphology, composition, and optical properties of the as-prepared catalysts were characterized in details. The photocatalytic performance of the catalysts was evaluated by the photodegradation of methyl orange (MO), rhodamine B (RhB), methylene blue (MB), and neutral red (NR), the results showed that 20% Bi-MoOS nanocomposite had excellent photodegradation activity towards all dyes. 96.0% of MO, 96.6% of RhB, 98.8% of MB and 91.3% of NR dyes were removed after 180 min, 40 min, 20 min, and 25 min visible light irradiation, respectively. The photodegradation of these dyes was further confirmed with HPLC. The excellent photocatalytic activity of the nanocomposites was due to the efficient separation and transport of photogenerated charge carriers induced by the fabricated binary heterostructures. The photodegradation fitted well the pseudo-first-order kinetics. The active species capture experiment study showed that, OH, O 2 − and h + all took parts in the degradation of dyes. The stability of the catalyst and reaction mechanism also explained in this work.

Photocatalytic hydrogen production (PHE) technology has emerged as a sustainable approach to convert solar energy into hydrogen energy, exhibiting significant potential for clean energy applications. In this study, an ultrasonic-assisted method was adopted to fabricate S-scheme MoSe 2 /Mn 0.5 Cd 0.5 S (MoSe 2 /MCS) composites, where intimate heterostructures are formed through interfacial Mo–S bonds between MCS and MoSe 2 . The atomic-level Mo–S bonds establish charge transport pathways and enable directional control of charge transfer. The as-constructed S-scheme MoSe 2 /MCS photocatalysts exhibit two critical advantages: enhanced charge carrier separation rate and improved overall redox capacity. Under visible-light irradiation, the MoSe 2 /MCS composites significantly outperform pure MCS in PHE performance. The optimal 5-MoSe 2 /MCS composite demonstrates the superior PHE activity, achieving an apparent quantum yield value of 71.16 % at 400 nm and remarkable photocatalytic stability. Key characterization techniques, including (solution-based) time-resolved photoluminescence technique, theoretical calculation, photoelectrochemical measurements, were employed to elucidate the positive correlation between ion-carrier interaction and charge separation efficiency, thereby enhancing the PHE performance. Based on experimental analysis and theoretical calculation, a plausible PHE mechanism for the S-scheme MCS composites is revealed and discussed in detail. These findings provide valuable insights for designing high-efficiency S-scheme heterostructured composites with interfacial chemical bonds.
