To explore the structure-property of donor-acceptor (D-A) type blue emitter, in this contribution, four star-shaped compounds of p -TPA, m -TPA, p -TPA-TPE and m -TPA-TPE using spirotriphenylamine as the donor unit and triazine as the acceptor core were designed and prepared. The tetraphenylethene (TPE) unit was introduced into the D-A molecules to enhance the emission efficiency in solid state. The photophysical properties of all compounds were comparatively studied through experimental and theoretical methods. All these D-A compounds displayed blue emission (443–487 nm) both in solution and neat film. Compared to p -TPA and m -TPA, p -TPA-TPE and m -TPA-TPE possessed clear aggregated-induced emission (AIE) property and higher emission efficiency in the solid state. Both the doped and non-doped organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) based on m -TPA and m -TPA-TPE were fabricated by solution-processable approach. The m -TPA-TPE based non-doped device showed a satisfying performance with a high current efficiency of 4.2 cd/A and an external quantum efficiency of 1.8% in the bluish-green region. This research demonstrates that integrating AIE unit into D-A molecule is an effective strategy for design high efficient blue emitter in non-doped OLEDs.

A series of novel discotic liquid-crystalline donor–acceptor dyads (D-A) adjusted by changing the chain length of diester groups on perylene were synthesized based on triphenylene and perylene units which linked by a flexible linkage of 9-nonyloxy-1-amine. The mesomorphism properties and their self-assembly behaviors were studied by differential scanning calorimetry, polarized optical microscopy, one-dimensional wide-angle X-ray diffraction, small angle X-ray scattering and two-dimensional wide-angle X-ray diffraction. Charge carrier mobilities were measured by Time-of-flight device. These discotic liquid crystalline compounds exhibited highly efficient ambipolar charge-transport properties and the charge carrier mobility can reach the order of 10 −4 cm 2 v −1 s −1 by segregated donor–acceptor columns, providing potential utility of the strategy in organic optoelectronic applications.

Conventional electrolyte additives often suffer from insufficient zincophilic/hydrophilic sites and limited molecular dimensions, constraining their regulation capability. Herein, we investigate D-lactitol (LAC), a super polyol additive featuring nine uniformly distributed hydroxyl groups and extended molecular length of 7.605 Å. Abundant zincophilic/hydrophilic sites enable LAC to concurrently coordinate three Zn 2+ solvation sheaths while maintaining interactions with surrounding free water molecules through remaining hydroxyls. Moreover, vertically oriented adsorption of LAC molecules on Zn anode surface expands inner Helmholtz plane from 1.5 Å to 8 Å. The unique adsorption geometry and sterically distributed hydroxyl groups bring about physical blocking, chemical screening, Zn 2+ flux homogenization, and structural resilience. These effects collectively inhibit water and SO 4 2− access, guide dominant Zn (002) plane deposition, promote uniform transport of high-flux Zn 2+ . Consequently, LAC extends cycling lifetime of Zn||Zn symmetric cells from 27 h to 1582 h at 10 mA cm −2 /1 mAh cm −2 and from 24 h to 310 h at 20 mA cm −2 /20 mAh cm −2 , and achieves stable cycling for 326 h at a high depth of discharge (58.07 %). In Zn||Cu asymmetric cell, over 5420 cycles, LAC maintains an exceptional average Coulombic efficiency of 99.74 %. Furthermore, LAC enhances cycling stability and rate performance of Zn||MnVO full cells. This study advances molecular engineering of electrolyte additives for advanced Zn anodes.

Carbonyl reductases (CRs) are promising biological macromolecules for the asymmetric synthesis of chiral secondary alcohols. A novel CR was evolved for efficient conversion of d -xylose into anti-aging ( S )-Pro-Xylane. Through extensive gene mining, an active carbonyl reductase Zm CR was identified from Zygofabospora marxiana with high reductive activity towards d -xylose-derived 1-C-(β- d -xylopyranosyl)-acetone (XPSA) and in situ cofactor regeneration capability. Using a three-round of concise engineering strategy, a hextuple mutant C85V/V128C/S129A/V161S/Y166H/T217A (M6) was identified from merely 157 mutants with specific activity of 46.00 U·mg −1 , about 306 folds of WT. The Shannon-Wiener index of M6 was 2.21, much higher than WT, indicating its extended substrate scope. M6 could efficiently catalyze the asymmetric reduction of 190 g·L −1 XPSA into ( S )-XPSP. The k cat / K M XPSA of M6 was 203.84 s −1 ·mM −1 , about 910 folds of WT. More non-bonded interactions were monitored in M6, contributing to the stabilization of reactive catalytic conformation. This study provides a promising biocatalyst for the chemoenzymatic synthesis of value-added anti-aging ( S )-Pro-Xylane from lignocellulosic d -xylose.

Background/Objectives: Chronic alcohol overconsumption triggers alcohol liver injury, and therapeutic strategies targeting alcohol-triggered oxidative stress and hepatic inflammatory responses represent potential approaches to ameliorating alcohol-related hepatotoxicity. This study aimed to determine the hepatoprotective activity of finger citron essential oil (FCEO) in alcoholic liver disease (ALD)-afflicted rats and explore its underlying mechanisms. In order to identify the effective components, we compared the effects of FCEO and D-limonene.Methods: The regulatory effects of FCEO on metabolic enzymes were systematically evaluated through in vitro experiments. In vivo studies were conducted to investigate and compare the hepatoprotective effects of FCEO and D-limonene. Staining methods, assay kits, and Western Blot were used to determine the roles of FCEO and D-limonene in the ALD rats.Results: We found that FCEO downregulated phase I metabolic enzymes and upregulated phase II metabolic enzymes in Buffalo Rat Liver-3A (BRL-3A) cells. FCEO and/or D-limonene intervention reduced transaminase levels in ALD rats and effectively alleviated inflammatory cell infiltration and lipid droplet accumulation in their liver tissue. Additionally, FCEO and D-limonene played a regulatory role in oxidative stress and inflammation-related pathways such as the MAPK/Nrf2 and NF-κB/AMPK pathways. FCEO was superior to D-limonene as an antioxidant in alleviating alcoholic liver injury.Conclusions: This study revealed the alleviative effects and mechanisms of FCEO on alcoholic liver injury, demonstrating better efficacy compared to its monomer, thus providing a strategy for the development and utilization of finger citron resources.

The strong hydrogen binding affinity on Ru surfaces and their intrinsic aggregation tendency pose significant challenges to the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) activity of Ru-based electrocatalysts. The construction of active electrocatalysts composed of partially dispersed nanoparticles (NPs) and individual single atomic sites with robust thermodynamic stability, has emerged as a viable alternative to benchmark commercial HER electrocatalyst. Herein, a multi-step strategy was designed to synthesize Ru NP @Fe SA -NC electrocatalyst and a robust interaction between uniformly dispersed Ru NPs and embedded single-atom Fe sites was uncovered, which not only regulates the particle size of Ru NPs but also controls the spin state and electronic configuration of Fe single atom. Moreover, magnetic characterization further corroborates the synergetic effect and predicts that the synergetic effect induces a high spin state of the Fe atom with unpaired electrons in the 3 d orbitals, which enhances the adsorption of intermediates and accelerates the reaction kinetics. The as obtained electrocatalyst demonstrate exceptional performance with a low overpotential of 13 mV at 10 mA cm -2 in alkaline condition. Remarkably, theoretical calculations indicates that the outstanding performance of Ru NP @Fe SA -NC stems from the Fe optimized electronic structure of the Ru site, which downshifts the d-band center, reduces the energy barriers for water dissociation and optimizes H* desorption, thereby promoting HER. This study presents an innovative approach to utilize Fe SA -NC to stabilize Ru NPs and reduce the energy barrier, contributing to an ideal HER performance.

Composite porous microspheres based on blends of poly(D,L-lactide-co-glycolide-co-ε-caprolactone) (PLGCL) and 1,4-butanediamine modified poly(D,L-lactide-co-glycolide) (BMPLGA) were prepared by using a combined solvent evaporation and particle leaching technique. The morphologies and porous structure of the PLGCL/BMPLGA microspheres were observed by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The in-vitro degradation behaviors and cytocompatibility were studied. The resultant microspheres showed a porous surface and a three-dimensional network structure with interconnecting pores. The changes of morphologies, pH value and mass loss during in-vitro degradation in phosphate buffered solution (PBS) at 37°C indicated that the degradation rate of the BMPLGA was faster than that of the PLGCL in the PLGCL/BMPLGA blends. We suggest the PLGCL/BMPLGA porous microspheres were non-cytotoxic and showed excellent cytocompatibility. We suggest the PLGCL/BMPLGA porous polymeric microspheres have great potential for application for drugs delivery and tissue regeneration.

This study constructed an S-scheme MIL( Fe )DCA (et al., 2023b (6)) /MoS 2 heterojunction for enhanced performance in degrading pollutants under a wide spectrum, benefiting from the customized d-band centers (by the built-in electric field) and the Mars–Van Krevelen cycle. Results reveal the tetracycline degradation rate of MIL( Fe )DCA (et al., 2023b (6)) /MoS₂ (~95 %) increases 1.38-fold and 11.8-fold compared to pristine MIL-Fe-DCA and MoS 2 , respectively, with better repeatability.Also, satisfactory reduction of Cr(VI) ions (75 %) and removal of coumarin (81.3 %) and ciprofloxacin hydrochloride (83 %) are observed. The catalyst exhibits rich defects, wide-spectrum solar light harvesting, efficient separation of h + ~ e − pairs and a robust redox process. It is found that the charge transfer in the S-scheme interfacial electric field elevates the d-band center towards the Fermi level, which can effectively lower water activation energy to more easily produce •OH, enhancing intermediate adsorption on the catalyst's surface, thus facilitating charge transfer and accelerating reaction kinetics. Another major emphasis is the oxygen defects induced Mars–Van Krevelen cycle, wherein adsorbed reactants, lattice oxygen, h + , •O 2 − , Fe 2+ and Fe 3+ participate in the reaction processes, which contributes to the photo-thermal conversion, achieving the synergy between photocatalysis and photothermal catalysis. This work offers a synergetic strategy involving the interfacial electric field, d-band center, and photo-thermal effect for photocatalytic water purification.

Ulcerative colitis (UC) is characterized by recurrent inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract, and currently available treatment drugs are limited. Plant-derived polysaccharides hold promise for UC prevention. A water-soluble α -D-glucan (CLP80–1) with a molecular weight of 8.17 × 10 5 Da was isolated and characterized from the roots of traditional Chinese medicinal plant Crepis lignea . Structural analysis revealed that its repeating units comprise →6)- α -D-Glc p -(1 → and →3,6)- α -D-Glc p- (1 → residues as the backbone, with α -D-Glc p -(1 → as side chains substituted at C-3. The protective effects of CLP80–1 on dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced ulcerative colitis (UC) in Drosophila melanogaster were investigated. Our results demonstrated that treatment with 1% CLP80–1 significantly improved survival rates, attenuated gut atrophy, reduced intestinal permeability, enhanced intestinal barrier function, suppressed excessive proliferation of intestinal stem cells (ISCs) and enteroblasts (EBs), and inhibited the death of intestinal epithelial cells (IECs). Metabolomic and transcriptomic analyses revealed that CLP80–1 mainly affected amino acid metabolism, TCA cycle, oxidative phosphorylation and JAK/STAT signaling pathway. Furthermore, CLP80–1 reduced reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels, suppressed the expression of pro-inflammatory factors, and downregulated the JAK-STAT signaling pathway, thereby mitigating oxidative stress and inflammatory responses. These findings suggest that CLP80–1 is effective in alleviating intestinal inflammation and may serve as a promising therapeutic candidate for addressing gut inflammatory conditions.

The inherently low phase ratio and limited surface capacity of open-tubular capillary electrochromatography (OT-CEC) significantly restrict its efficiency in enantioseparation. To overcome this limitation, we developed a rigid-flexible composite interface strategy to construct a high-efficiency chiral ligand-exchange CEC (CLE-CEC) column. A uniform nanocrystalline UiO-66-NH 2 layer was in situ grown on the capillary inner wall to serve as a high-surface-area rigid scaffold, followed by the covalent immobilization of L-arginine (L-Arg) as a flexible chiral ligand. This composite architecture combines the structural stability of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with the stereochemical selectivity of amino acid ligands. The dense MOF scaffold effectively increases the specific surface area and ligand loading capacity of the stationary phase, thereby facilitating efficient Zn(II)-mediated ternary complexation for chiral recognition. Validating this design, the UiO-66-NH-L-Arg@capillary column achieved baseline separation for seven pairs of Dns-D,L-AAs, with resolution factors reaching up to 2.56. The column exhibited satisfactory repeatability and good operational stability. Furthermore, the practicability of this method was demonstrated by its successful application in the kinetic monitoring of L-alanine dehydrogenase, providing a robust micro-separation tool for precise bioanalysis.

Direct electron transfer (ETP) during peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation enables selective, matrix-resistant organic contaminants oxidation, yet its precise control over competing radical pathways remains elusive. Here we report a nano-island-like single-atom catalyst- carbon nitride islands immobilize cobalt single atoms on reduced graphene oxide (CoN 3 C/rGO)- that leverages an island-sea architecture to direct PMS activation toward ETP. Experimental and density functional theory (DFT) analyses show an rGO induced elevation of the Co d -band center and a sharpened d z2 orbital near the Fermi level, promoting directional hybridization with PMS p orbitals and suppressing antibonding occupation. Consequently, CoN 3 C/rGO/PMS degrade bisphenol A (BPA) completely within 5 min, with ~94% contribution from ETP. Furthermore, catalytic membrane coatings enable stable 100 h continuous operation in diverse real water matrices with minimal Co leaching. Our results demonstrate a design principle-orbital-level modulation via island-sea architectures to reconcile activity and selectivity in Fenton-like systems and advance translating practical water treatment technologies based on single-atom electronic control.

Fluorescent probes are extensively used for tracking the in vivo behavior of nanocarriers. However, the impact of fluorescent probes on the in vivo fate of nanomedicines remains uncertain. Potential interference from the probes may lead to misleading conclusions. This study investigated the influence of a commonly used fluorescent probe, DiI, on the in vivo fate of paclitaxel (PTX)-loaded polymeric micelles (PMs) in rats. The drug release kinetics of PTX-loaded PMs (PTX-PM) with DiI/PTX co-loaded PMs (DiI/PTX-PM) in rat plasma was quantitatively compared. The results indicate that co-encapsulation with DiI significantly exacerbated drug release and altered the protein binding of PTX through competitive binding, resulting in an increased proportion of free PTX. DiI enhanced diffusion-driven drug leakage without affecting the micelle dissociation kinetics. Notably, DiI inhibited elimination and increased the systemic exposure of both the free micelle material and the nanocarrier. This study provides evidence that DiI can potentially interfere with the in vivo fate of both the therapeutic payload and the nanocarrier, highlighting the necessity for rigorous validation when employing it for nanocarrier tracking.
