In this work, a series of Zn x Mg 1.99- x SnO 4 :0.01Mn 2+ ( x = 0, 0.01, 0.02, 0.03, 0.04) green long afterglow phosphors are prepared by high-temperature solid-phase reaction. The photoluminescence and long afterglow performance of host material doped with Zn 2+ are investigated. The results show that the emission peak of Mn 2+ is red-shifted by 5 nm with increasing Zn 2+ concentration. Zn 0.03 Mg 1.96 SnO 4 :0.01Mn 2+ phosphor has the strongest green luminescence intensity with the chromaticity coordinates of (0.085 7, 0.608 3) under 270 nm, and Zn 0.01 Mg 1.98 SnO 4 :0.01Mn 2+ phosphor has superior long afterglow performance with average lifetime of 102.41s. The afterglow decay and thermoluminescence curve of phosphor are used to explain the mechanism of long afterglow luminescence. Meanwhile, the afterglow intensity distribution of each pixel in Zn 0.01 Mg 1.98 SnO 4 :0.01Mn 2+ coating samples is carried out by hyperspectral imaging, and the optimal luminescence intensity and uniformity of the sample are obtained at a phosphor/epoxy mass ratio of 0.002 5. Therefore, Zn 0.01 Mg 1.98 SnO 4 :0.01Mn 2+ can be a potential candidate of novel long afterglow phosphors, and hyperspectral imaging also provides new research approaches for the rational proportioning of luminescent materials.

The usage of zinc-containing catalysts in glycolysis causes the residue of Zn 2+ in the polyethylene terephthalate (PET) degradation monomer bis-hydroxyethyl (BHET), which limits the high-value utilization of BHET. This work first used electrodeposition combined with one-time recrystallization to purify BHET. Electrodeposition was suitable for dealing the Zn 2+ concentrations of degradation solutions within 50–100 ppm, and decreased the content of Zn 2+ in BHET from 141.30 to 2.41 ppm, which reached the standard of repolymerization into PET bottles. The removal rate of Zn 2+ was 90 % for the degradation solutions, which decreased the concentration of Zn 2+ in wastewater from 100 to 8.97 ppm. Meanwhile, the Zn 2+ removed from the degradation solutions was deposited on cathode, which obtained metal Zn materials and realized the recycling of Zn resources from Zn(OAc) 2 . Therefore, electrodeposition could realize the purification of BHET, recycling of Zn(OAc) 2 , reducing the environmental pollution caused by the emission of Zn 2+ and the protection of human health, simultaneously. Electrodeposition had less water consumption, lower loss rate of BHET (from 60 % to 10 %) and shorter processing time, compared with six-times recrystallizations. This study first proposed the formation of quadridentate between BHET and Zn 2+ , and put forward a new three-steps electrodeposition mechanism of Zn 2+ : the addition of electric field destroyed the dissociation equilibrium of quadridentate and made it shift to release free Zn 2+ ; the free Zn 2+ gathered to form ionic groups and they migrated to copper; Zn 2+ reduced on copper, of which the first step was the speed limited step.

Antibacterial powder coatings have attracted increasing attention with the awakening of people’s health awareness. Silver antibacterial agent has been widely used in coating system due to its superior stability and durability. However, silver ions have the problems of excessive release rate and the tendency to cause yellowing of the coating film. The addition of Cu2+and Zn2+can effectively alleviate these two phenomena. In this paper, the ternary exchange kinetics of Ag+, Cu2+, and Zn2+were studied to provide a theoretical basis for the synthesis of LTA-Ag-Cu-Zn. The reaction kinetics study shows that the selectivity and the adsorption capacity of LTA to Ag+is higher than that of Cu2+and Zn2+. The thermodynamic analysis discovers that LTA has the highest selectivity for Ag+, and the exchange between the two is spontaneous. In contrast, the selectivity of LTA to Cu2+and Zn2+is concentration-dependent. By establishing the three-ion competitive adsorption curve, it is found that the selectivity of Ag+is the highest, and the selectivity of copper and zinc is similar. These trends result from Ag+ions’ low hydration energy, small hydration radius, and strong electronegativity. This research lays the groundwork for developing high-performance LTA-Ag-Cu-Zn tri-ion exchange antibacterial agents.

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disease with high morbidity that has received extensive attention. However, its pathogenesis has not yet been completely elucidated. It is mainly related to β-amyloid protein deposition, the hyperphosphorylation of tau protein, and the loss of neurons. The main function of tau is to assemble tubulin into stable microtubules. Under pathological conditions, tau is hyperphosphorylated, which is the major component of neurofibrillary tangles (NFT) in AD. There is considerable evidence showing that the dyshomeostasis of Zn2+is closely related to the development of AD. Herein, by using the third repeat unit of the microtubule-binding domain of tau (tau-R3), we investigated the effect of Zn2+on the aggregation and neurotoxicity of tau. Experimental results showed that tau-R3 probably bound Zn2+via its Cys residue with moderate affinity (association constant (Ka) = 6.82 ± 0.29 × 104M−1). Zn2+accelerated tau-R3 aggregation and promoted tau-R3 to form short fibrils and oligomers. Compared with tau-R3, Zn2+-tau-R3 aggregates were more toxic to Neuro-2A (N2A) cells and induced N2A cells to produce higher levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS). The dendrites and axons of Zn2+-tau-R3-treated neurons became fewer and shorter, resulting in a large number of neuronal deaths. In addition, both tau-R3 and Zn2+-tau-R3 aggregates were found to be taken up by N2A cells, and more Zn2+-tau-R3 entered the cells compared with tau-R3. Our data demonstrated that Zn2+can aggravate tau-R3 aggregation and neurotoxicity, providing clues to understand the relationship between Zn2+dyshomeostasis and the etiology of Alzheimer’s disease.Keywords:tau-R3;Zn2+;aggregation;neurotoxicity

The (1− x )BaTiO 3 – x Bi(Zn 2/3 Nb 1/3 )O 3 ( x = 0.01–0.30) ceramics were synthesized by solid-state reactions. The solubility limit was determined to be x = 0.20. A systematic structural transition from a tetragonal phase ( x ≤ 0.034), to a mixture of tetragonal and rhombohedral phases (0.038 ≤ x ≤ 0.20), and finally to a pseudocubic phase ( x ≥ 0.22) at room temperature was identified. Dielectric measurement revealed a ferroelectric ( x ≤ 0.04) to relaxor ( x ≥ 0.06) transition with permittivity peak broadening and flattening, which was further verified by Raman spectroscopy and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Activation energies obtained from the Vogel–Fulcher model displayed an increasing trend from ~0.03 eV for x ~ 0.05, to unusually high values (>0.20 eV) for the compositions with x ≥ 0.15. With the increase in Bi(Zn 2/3 Nb 1/3 )O 3 content, the polarization hysteresis demonstrated a tendency from high nonlinearity to sublinearity coupled with the reduction in remnant polarization and coervice field. The deconvolution of the irreversible/reversible polarization contribution was enabled by first-order reversal curve distributions, which indicates that the decreasing polarization nonlinearity with the increase in Bi(Zn 2/3 Nb 1/3 )O 3 concentration could be related with the change from the ferroelectric domain and domain wall contributions to the weakly coupled relaxor behaviors.

Vitrimers are fascinating thermoset polymers to the industry since they can be recycled and reprocessed without compromising their mechanical strength and solvent resistance. Particularly, transesterification reaction in the epoxy resin (ER) vitrimers usually requires the incorporation of a catalyst, whereas most reports only focused on investigating the catalytic effect of small molecules, such as zinc acetate (Zn(OAc)2) and triazabicyclodecene (TBD). In this work, a polymer catalyst, poly(acrylonitrile-co-zinc methacrylate) (Zn-PAM), was synthesized by the random copolymerization of zinc methacrylate and acrylonitrile, where the transesterification catalysis efficiency of Zn-PAM was systematically investigated and compared to that of Zn(OAc)2 and TBD by temperature-dependent stress relaxation experiments. It was revealed that Zn-PAM has a higher catalysis efficiency than Zn(OAc)2 and TBD under the same loading between Zn2+ and TBD. Besides, only a tiny amount of polymer catalyst is needed to efficiently catalyze the transesterification reaction while in the meantime enhance the mechanical properties of ER.

The development of efficient dual-emissive and temperature-sensitive luminescent materials is critical for advancing non-contact optical thermometry. Herein, we employed a co-doping strategy to enhance energy transfer pathways in Ca 9 Ga(PO 4 ) 7 phosphors. Under 331 nm excitation, dual emissions from Eu 2+ (415 nm) and Cr 3+ (696 nm) were achieved, with Zn 2+ enhancing the near-infrared (NIR) of Cr 3+ . The optimal Cr 3+ concentration led to an approximately six-fold increase in NIR emission intensity, attributed to Eu 2+ -induced crystal field modulation and efficient dipole-dipole energy transfer, which are evidenced by comparing the emission spectra and decay curve lifetimes. Temperature-dependent emission spectra revealed that Eu 2+ emission remained stable, while Cr 3+ emission exhibited significant temperature sensitivity in Ca 9 Ga(PO 4 ) 7 :Zn 2+ ,Eu 2+ ,Cr 3+ , enabling precise temperature sensing with a peak sensitivity of 1.256 % K −1 at 298 K. This work offers a novel approach to improving energy transfer efficiency and dual-emission properties, contributing to the development of high-performance, real-time optical thermometry and photonic technologies.

An available route was provided for simultaneous detection and effective adsorption toward Cd 2+ , Zn 2+ and Cu 2+ . The magnetic Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 nanoparticles were prepared and functionalized with N-(quinoline-8-yl)-2-(3-triethoxysilyl-propylamino)-acetamide (QTPA) by first using the “grafting from” method, which made the whole process of surface modification on Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 nanoparticles simpler and more effective. The as-synthesized QTPA functionalized Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 nanoparticles exhibited different fluorescence responses for Cd 2+ (doderblue), Zn 2+ (deepskyblue) and Cu 2+ (tomato red) illuminated under a 365 nm UV light, while other ions, such as Ag + , Hg 2+ , Ni 2+ , Co 2+ , Mn 2+ , Pb 2+ , Cr 3+ and Fe 3+ , gave no visible changes under identical experimental conditions. The eye-perceived fluorescent changes only toward Cd 2+ , Zn 2+ and Cu 2+ could serve as the available proofs for the qualitative analysis of the three cations. The UV–vis spectra results showed that the multifunctional nanoparticles exhibited fluorescence enhancements for Cd 2+ and Zn 2+ , and fluorescence quenching for Cu 2+ . The adsorption experiments showed that the nanomaterial was a good candidate for selective removal and enrichment of Cd 2+ , Zn 2+ and Cu 2+ , and had the high adsorption efficiency toward Cd 2+ (95.29%), Zn 2+ (92.37%), and Cu 2+ (91.06%). Moreover, the functionalized composites had strong magnetic sensitivity, which could make them susceptible in an external magnetic field, and easy to separate from the solid and liquid phase. More specific to this work, simultaneous fluorescence determination of Cd 2+ , Cu 2+ , and Zn 2+ by naked eye was proposed based on QTPA functionalized Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 nanoparticles.

The incidence rate of breast cancer remains high, and lung metastasis often leads to treatment failure. Immunotherapy based on the cyclic guanosine monophosphate synthesis (cGAS) − interface gene stimulatory factor (STING) pathway is expected to bring benefits to the treatment of breast cancer. This study provided a delivery system based on fucoidan (Fu) and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) for the potential molecule resveratrol (Res). The study confirmed that Fu and PVP were assembled into nanoparticles through hydrogen bonding and effectively loaded Res (Fu/PVP/Res). Interestingly, the adsorption of Zn 2+ (Fu/PVP/Res Zn 2+ ) was expected to provide impetus for the treatment of breast cancer. The results in vitro confirmed that Fu/PVP/Res Zn 2+ significantly inhibited the proliferation of breast cancer 4T1 cells, induced the accumulation of mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the damage of mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP), and further induced the cytoplasmic release of mtDNA, which was the direct cause of the activation of cGAS-STING pathway. In vivo studies confirmed that Fu/PVP/Res Zn 2+ treatment inhibited the growth of 4T1 transplanted tumors. Excitingly, Fu/PVP/Res Zn 2+ treatment also prevented lung metastasis of in situ tumors. The in vivo mechanism confirmed that Fu/PVP/Res Zn 2+ treatment activated the cGAS-STING pathway and induced abnormal expression of tumor apoptosis factors such as Bax/Bcl-2. In conclusion, our research provided potential for the treatment of breast cancer.

In recent years, metal halides have attracted much attention because of their fascinating optical properties. However, realizing an emission with efficient white light afterglow is still a great challenge. Here, high-purity Zn 2+ -doped CsCdCl 3 crystals have been synthesized by a hydrothermal method. Part of the Zn 2+ ions replace part of the Cd 2+ ions in the coplanar octahedron, so atomically confined excitons are formed around the coplanar octahedron. This exciton produces blue emission with a center wavelength of 422 nm at room temperature, but also produces weak STE at 595 nm. This is due to the dominance of confined exciton ( Cd CE) luminescence and suppression of intrinsic STE with PLQY reaching 44.53 %. Doping of Zn 2+ emits a white afterglow at room temperature. Raman and pyroelectric spectroscopic analyses show that the A 1g 246 cm −1 phonon mode plays an important role in the electron-phonon coupling process and dominates the afterglow luminescence process. In addition, white light emitting diodes (WLEDs) were fabricated with Zn 2+ doped CsCdCl 3 to show their potential in lighting applications.

In this report, we developed a sensing strategy based on ThT-E (a ThT derivative) and DNA G-quadruplex for the label-free detection of Zn 2+ . In the absence of Zn 2+ , there was a fluorescence enhancement of ThT-E by interaction with human telomere sequence. On the addition of Zn 2+ , Zn 2+ induced a more compact antiparallel G-quadruplex to release ThT-E, resulting in fluorescence quenching. The detection limit was 0.6996 μM, and the fluorescence intensity showed a good linear relationship with the concentration of Zn 2+ in the range of 0-10 μM. This sensing strategy which only needs to mix two kinds of materials has the characteristics of label-feel, simple operation, short response time, economical and efficient.

Triethylamine (TEA) poses severe safety hazards to industrial production and human health. To accurately detect TEA concentrations and rapidly warn of leakage, a simple reflux condensation method was deployed to successfully incorporate Zn 2+ in situ into Mo-MOFs precursor in a green, safe, and time-efficient synthesis condition. Subsequently, through calcination, MoO 3 /ZnMoO 4 -X (MMZ-X) were prepared, which exhibited an increased number of defects and enriched porosity, facilitating the access and interaction of TEA with adsorption sites. Simultaneously, rationally built in situ MoO 3 /ZnMoO 4 heterostructures accelerated carrier migration and induced a drastic resistive change. MMZ-2 demonstrated outstanding TEA sensing performance, exhibiting extremely high sensitivity ( R = 572.3, 100 ppm), along with superior selectivity, repeatability and stability, rapid response and recovery times, and a low detection limit. Moreover, the key intrinsic parameters of the heterostructure on the atomic scale were determined by density functional theory (DFT) calculations, providing a detailed elucidation of the sensing enhancement mechanism of the MoO 3 /ZnMoO 4 heterostructure. The simple and efficient synthesis method and the related mechanistic analysis pave a new path for designing high-performance TEA gas sensors with practical applications.
